2009 Season in Review: Week Five

Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by Mike Burke.

The 0-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolled into Philadelphia during Week Five and it was exactly what the Eagles needed. Donovan McNabb returned from his rib injury and didn’t miss a beat. Less than three minutes into the game he hooked up with Jeremy Maclin on a 51 yard touchdown strike and never looked back. He [...]

DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin: Double Trouble

Posted on 14. Jan, 2010 by Mike Burke.

There’s a lot of attention on the quarterback position right now in Philadelphia. It’s not certain yet who will be here next year and who won’t be but there is one thing for sure.

It’s all over

Posted on 11. Jan, 2010 by Mike Burke.

The weekend has passed and this is the first Monday in a long time that we have no upcoming Eagles game to look forward. Saturday’s game against the Cowboys was as big an embarrassment as the shutout loss from the week before. Donovan McNabb failed to step up and couldn’t even complete a pass until [...]

Final Thoughts: Eagles vs. ‘Boys

Posted on 03. Jan, 2010 by Brennen Dickerson.

With a win over the Broncos last week and the Vikings losing in overtime to the Bears, the Eagles are the only team in the NFC who completely control their destiny. Eagles win and they get the #2 seed in the NFC playoff race, no question. For every other team fighting for the #2 seed [...]

The Eagles have improved to 11-4 and continue their quest towards playoff positioning. It looked like the Eagles were going to dominate early but the team had a third quarter meltdown that allowed Denver to catch back up and tie the game in the fourth quarter.

A Kevin Curtis return would be huge

Posted on 15. Dec, 2009 by Mike Burke.

After playing in the first two games of the year, Kevin Curtis has not played a single snap. However, now would be a great time for him to come back and start contributing. With Jeremy Maclin being out at least a week (probably more), the Eagles have an immediate hole to fill in their roster. [...]

Eagles are coming together at the right time

Posted on 10. Dec, 2009 by Mike Burke.

Jeremy Maclin is the only Eagle who did not participate at least on a limited basis today. Akeem Jordan and DeSean Jackson were full participants and Brian Westbrook and Kevin Curtis were listed as limited participants. It is doubtful that Curtis and Westbrook will practice, but it is good to see them back on the [...]

San Diego, We Have a Problem: A Letter to Donovan McNabb

Posted on 17. Nov, 2009 by Tex.

“Veteran leadership is something we don’t have much of.  For the guys out there, we’re trying to get the young guys going a little bit.  But the young guys have to step up this time,” quoting Donovan McNabb.   Dear Donovan, I have to disagree.  The young guys have stepped up, and you haven’t become [...]

Philly Reider: Blue Blood, New Blood

Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Tex.

After two mediocre outings with the Oakland Raiders and the Washington Redskins, the Eagles finally woke up from their slumber and chopped the knees of the New York Giants.  Eli Manning, predictable running plays and a porous Giants defense ultimately contributed to their demise. Eli was throwing lazily, and his receivers responded in kind. They [...]
