View image | gettyimages.com We all know that Jeremy Maclin’s departure westward left a glaring hole in Chip Kelly’s fast-paced offense. That makes two seasons (and counting) that Chip has either dispossessed (D. Jackson) or disinherited (Maclin) the prior season’s most prolific pass-catcher.

View image | gettyimages.com Landon Collins is considered by many to be the top safety prospect in an otherwise underwhelming class. The Eagles have a gaping hole at safety, with Malcom Jenkins as the only legitimate starter on the roster. At first blush, it seems like a match made in heaven. But digging deeper, it […]
April 11 & 13, 1978 In the 1977-78 NHL Season, the league adopted a new playoff format which included a first round best-of-three series. For the Flyers, who finished with a record of 45-20-15, their "preliminary round" opponent would be the lowly Colorado Rockies.

View image | gettyimages.com Earlier this week, we did a seven round mock draft for the Eagles. If you have not already checked it out, you should. It's chalk full of good information on potential prospects the Eagles could target in the upcoming draft. But one of the limitations of a mock draft is that […]
Welcome to Between the Pipes, a look at the Philadelphia Flyers and the NHL through linkage. So long, Chief Craig Berube was fired on Friday. The reasons are numerous: [The Hockey Writers-Matt Brauckmann] [Pattison Ave.-Scott] [Philly.com- Mike Sielski] [Courier Post Online- Dave Isaac] [Hockeybuzz-Bill Meltzer] So you're saying there's a chance?
