My Take on the McNabb Saga

Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by Chris.

It seems as though the unthinkable is truly going to happen. Andy Reid is more than likely going to trade his treasured QB, Donovan McNabb. The trade is now a matter of when, not if, it is going to happen. Over the past three months, McNabb’s name has been linked to about as many teams, [...]

Friday Five Pack – Wild Card Edition

Posted on 08. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

Well, we’re finally here. It’s playoff time. Do or die. Win or go home. The Eagles have very familiar opponents in the Dallas Cowboys matching up with them for the third time. The Birds have failed to beat them this year and this game has more at stake than the [...]

Five keys to beating Dallas

Posted on 07. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

1. Control the line
I mean this on both sides of the ball. Last week, the Eagles defensive line got pushed around early and let the Cowboys run all over them. That’s a recipe for failure and we saw why. The Eagles defensive line is going to need to do a much better [...]

Should we be worried after Sunday’s performance?

Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

Throughout the week I’ve been seeing some people say the Eagles don’t have a chance after the way they played last week and some people say it was just an off week for the team. It’s hard to completely dismiss the effort the team put out last week, but it’s hard to believe they [...]

Who’s going to step up on Saturday?

Posted on 05. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

No one really stepped up last week and made plays for the Eagles. You could argue and say that Brent Celek did, but he contributed to an offense that scored zero points so its hard to give him too much credit. This week has got to be different. If the Eagles want [...]

Will third time be the charm for the Birds?

Posted on 05. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

It doesn’t feel good losing to the Cowboys twice in one season. Losing to them three times in one season, and in back to back games would be an absolute embarrassment. However, that is the exact situation the Eagles face this Saturday night with their season on the line.
In the first meeting of [...]

Eagles must defend run better this time around

Posted on 04. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

There’s no question here, the Eagles got owned on the ground last week against the Cowboys. It’s no secret that when an offense can run the ball effectively, they’re going to find success. If the Eagles want to make a playoff run, it’s going to start with their front seven and shutting down [...]

Post game analysis: Eagles vs. Cowboys

Posted on 04. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

Wow. It’s the morning after but it doesn’t hurt any less. A team that was once so hot failed to put up a single point and failed to do so when it needed it most. The Eagles were disappointing on both ends of the ball. Defensively, they got manhandled early and [...]

Eagles completely embarrassed, fall to Cowboys 24-0

Posted on 03. Jan, 2010 by Mike.

The Eagles had everything in place and all they needed to do was step up and get a win. Could they do so? Absolutely not. The Birds came out and executed their most embarrassing performance of the year, by far. Right off the first drive, the Eagles looked flat. They [...]
