After starting 4-2-1 on the season in seven games, the Flyers were quickly brought back down to Earth with a pair of regulation losses and an overtime loss this week, two to the Sabres and one to the Devils. There weren't many positives to take away, but we will try to as we pick another […]
Another week of Flyers hockey is in the books and it was a rough one. Get all caught up with links to everything posted to Flyerdelphia this week. Here is you Flyerdelphia week in review.
In the first period of Tuesday’s game, Flyers forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare suffered a noticeable injury and had to be helped to the locker room. Bellemare will be out at least two weeks with a lower-body injury, according to GM Ron Hextall.
The Flyers are 4-2-2 in their first eight games of the season. It’s safe to say, at this point, that they managed to avoid the slow start to the season they were looking for. But in those first two weeks, the Flyers had to pass several tests, tests that were about competing with good […]
At 4-2-1, the Flyers entered Tuesday's game with a chance to prove this wasn't last year's team.

The Eagles tallied a total of 177 rushing yards for the game, primarily split between DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews. Murray had 18 carries for 65 yards. Mathews […]

Yes, the Eagles hadn't really seen an opponent quite like this since Week 1. It's still no excuse. The Eagles continued […]
Let's not sugarcoat this: Sam Bradford has not played well this season. But it's time to stop pinning all the blame on Bradford for the Eagles struggles offensively. The holes in the offense were clear in Sunday night's loss to the Panthers. Eight drops by wide receivers. Jason Peters left the game in the […]
