Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles defense did all they could to bail the offense out. They held the Panthers off the board for so much of the third and fourth quarter. But after another miscue for special teams and more struggles for Sam Bradford and Co., Carolina could not be stopped. The Panthers remained undefeated while the […]
After taking care of business against the Giants and jumping back into first place in the NFC East with back-to-back wins, the Eagles face another challenge on Sunday night. The Carolina Panthers are one of five teams that remain undefeated. This latest test for Chip Kelly and Co. has the Eagles positioned to enter […]
The Eagles Week 7 game is crucial for several reasons. After getting back-to-back wins to pull them back to .500 and into first place in the NFC East, momentum is certainly on the Eagles side among the division rivals. In addition, the bye week is next week, which should have the Eagles ready to […]
Divisional rivalries are a part of the regular season that increase drama and allow bad blood to resurface. Last season, the Eagles played the Giants on Sunday night in October, going with the first ever blackout and coming away with a shutout win. Along the way, the Giants lost Victor Cruz for the season […]
Drew Brees was never comfortable on Sunday afternoon. That’s probably because three times during the Eagles Week 5 win over the Saints, a big No. 91 was knocking him to the ground. Twice on those three sacks for Fletcher Cox, the ball was knocked loose. Both times, they were recovered, once by Cox himself. […]
There was finally an afternoon where the Eagles put it all together. Good offense, good defense, good special teams — a dominant victory on the scoreboard. At 2-3, things are not perfect, and there isn't a way to sugarcoat the Eagles victory. They finished with 39 points. At the half, they had just 10. […]
The logic behind the Eagles 39-17 win over the Saints on Sunday is simple. When your quarterback passes for 333 yards and completes 32 of 45 passes, when your running backs combine for 180 yards on the ground, when your defense forces four turnovers, chances are you will win and win big. The Eagles finally […]
Needing a win, the Eagles needed to do more than just score more points than the opposition. They needed a game that could boost confidence. There were still plenty of mistakes, but this Eagles team looked more confident in picking up their second win of the season. After clawing their way to a 10-7 halftime […]
About eight hours after the Eagles 23-20 defeat in Washington, 1-3 didn’t look so bad. The Dallas Cowboys lost to the New Orleans Saints in overtime, dropping to 2-2 on the season. Suddenly, the Eagles outlook wasn’t a last-place team, it was a second-place team, trailing three 2-2 teams. Not as bad as it seems. […]
For three weeks in a row, the term must-win came up. Sunday's game really was a must-win in terms of the standings. The Eagles now sit at the bottom of the NFC East at 1-3, a battered, dejected team not sure how to correct the struggles that have warranted such a record. There were plenty […]
