EAGLES RUMORS & GOSSIP

Having low expectations for the Philadelphia Eagles was understandable. Thin offensive line; new head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and…quarterback; new running back rotation; same receivers that led the league in drops the year before; minimal adjustments to defensive personnel other than positioning. It’s also understandable to look...

The Philadelphia Eagles are 3-0 heading into their Week #4 bye week, thanks to stellar quarterback play from their rookie first-round draft pick Carson Wentz. The 23-year-old rookie looks like a polished veteran in wins over Cleveland, Chicago, and Pittsburgh respectively that have the Eagles sitting in first place in the N.F.C. East. In his N.F.L. […] Philadelphia Eagles: Carson...

Fap. Fap. Fap. ESPN: 7) Eagles The Eagles head into their bye week 3-0 behind a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback who has yet to turn the ball over. The Eagles also have allowed only 27 points through three weeks, best in the NFL.   FOX Sports: 5) Eagles The biggest surprise of the season has been the Eagles, without question. They’re 3-0 and dominated the Steelers...

Carson Wentz and Jordan Matthews celebrate in their unique way, as the Eagles are making success business as usual. AP Photo/Michael Perez It’s not going to be a cakewalk for the red-hot Eagles when they come out of their Bye Week at 3-0. Four of their next five games are on the road, the one home game in that stretch being against currently unbeaten Minnesota. But for now, let...

Carson Wentz’s play through the Philadelphia Eagles’ first three games has made America sit up and take notice, and that includes the sitting vice president. Noted Eagles fan Joe Biden, a Scranton native, gave the Eagles rookie quarterback a big shoutout on Twitter Monday morning. Heart, guts, and poise from my guy, @CJ_Wentz. Huge game, strong start for the @Eagles. @DrBiden...

The first Sunday of the NFL season was just 15 days ago and already the league is at one of its dreaded midseason mile-markers. The bye weeks start this weekend, with Philadelphia and Green Bay getting the (dis)honor of skipping a game before they're even a quarter of a way into their seasons. It's rough for both franchises, but especially for Philadelphia, the surprise team of 2016...

Lane Johnson has been a huge part of the Philadelphia Eagles 3-0 start. Now the team is awaiting word on his impending suspension. October fourth is the date that’s set for the hearing in regards to Philadelphia Eagles lineman, Lane Johnson’s b-sample. That will determine if Johnson will receive a ten game suspension for using […] The Philadelphia Eagles Can’t Afford to Lose...

I know it’s a heady time in Philadelphia, what with watching Carson Wentz lead the Eagles to a 3-0 record. But somebody should really tell Doug Pederson to pump the brakes. The Eagles rookie coach compared the Eagles rookie quarterback to, you know, one of the best quarterbacks of all time Monday. “He loves watching…

PHILADELPHIA (AP) All aboard the Wentz Wagon. Carson Wentz aced his first tough test, and the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-3 on Sunday to remain unbeaten. Wins over the Browns and Bears were no fluke. The Eagles (3-0) proved they can compete with - and whip - the top teams. Now they head into a bye atop the NFC East and suddenly looking like legitimate...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Carson Wentz put his athleticism, precision passing and quick decision-making on display all on one play. The rookie quarterback dropped back on third-and-8, saw his first read covered, sidestepped a rusher, stepped up in the pocket, started to scramble, pump-faked, rolled to his right, stopped short of the line of scrimmage and floated a perfect pass down the...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Carson Wentz threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns, a fierce defense shut down Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-3 on Sunday to remain unbeaten. The rookie No. 2 overall pick connected with Darren Sproles on a 73-yard, catch-and-run TD and tossed a 12-yard TD pass to Jordan Matthews. �After beating...

This is interesting— although Vegas has set the odds for this game with Pittsburgh as a 4-point favorite, Odds Shark has predicted via their computer simulations a 22.3 to 15.5 final score in favor of the Eagles. The Over/Under is 47 points. Here is Odds Shark’s rationale: “It’s too early to say for sure, but Wentz has looked like the real deal through two weeks. The No...

Since being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles this summer, receiver Dorial Green-Beckham hasn’t been utilized much to this point. Hopefully, things are about to change in the coming weeks, as head coach Doug Pederson explains. “He’s coming along really well,” said Pederson, per Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice. “We’re giving him a little bit more each week. He’s understanding...

Teams with rookie quarterbacks are often best avoided when it comes to fantasy. However, Carson Wentz proved through two games that he’s capable of making accurate and deep throws. The bigger problem with using the Eagles in fantasy is the other part of the passing equation. The Eagles trounced the league in drops last year (37) with six more than the next highest offender. So...

While Carson Wentz’s hot start has dominated the early-season headlines, he is not the only Philadelphia Eagles rookie who should be garnering attention. His head coach, Doug Pederson, is also impressing early in his career. When things are going well for a team in the NFL, the quarterback naturally gets a lot of attention. But we shouldn’t overlook the job Pederson has done...

Carson Wentz is very, very serious about his craft. The Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback has had his cell phone taken away on dates before by girlfriend Melissa Uhrich, because, according to Jaclyn Hendricks of the New York Post, he’s been caught studying game film under the table. Uhrich totally understands the importance of Wentz’s career to him, but date night is date...

Carson Wentz has been extremely impressive since taking over as Eagles quarterback, but the Philadelphia coaching staff still sees a work in progress. Case in point: Doug Pederson says that Wentz has to learn how to protect himself better and avoid taking hits. “I think it’s hard to rewire him,” Pederson said, via Chris Wesseling of NFL Media. “I just think you need to...

Chicago Bears pass-rusher Lamarr Houston has suffered a serious knee injury for the second time in three seasons. Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, an MRI on Tuesday confirmed a torn ACL for Houston, who also tore his ACL in 2014, when celebrating a sack. Houston was among several Bears defensive players to get injured during Monday night’s 29-14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles...

ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden is known for his enthusiasm, and that doesn’t extend to just football. In fact, ahead of Monday night’s Eagles-Bears game, Gruden got rather enthusiastic when Philadelphia long-snapper Jon Dorenbos was demonstrating card tricks to him: Dorenbos just unveils trick after trick here, and Gruden gets pretty excited about it, finishing...

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is reportedly being sued by two of the Philadelphia police officers involved in the February bar fight that had him in the cross-hairs of the law for some time. Though McCoy was cleared by the Philadelphia District Attorney this year, the bar fight will face scrutiny of a different kind. One of the aspects that brought controversy to the...

The waiting game is over for Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson, who has reportedly (finally) been suspended 10 games for violating the league’s performance enhancing drug policy. Johnson has known this was coming for a couple months. The NFL informed him of the impending suspension back in July, but it was put on hold until the league received results from his...

The Philadelphia Eagles receiving corps certainly aren’t doing rookie quarterback Carson Wentz any favors. Jordan Matthews continues to drop balls in key situations, and Monday night’s game against the Bears was no different. Matthews found himself in single coverage with no safety in the vicinity, and Wentz threw an absolute dime that fell right into the receivers’ hands....

Colin Kaepernick has started a movement that has gained steam across the NFL, sports in general and in the country. His silent protest of the national anthem to raise awareness of racial injustices in the United States has picked up, and that continued for Monday Night Football. Malcolm Jenkins led the Philadelphia Eagles in their own way of protesting against racial injustices...

Historically I base these Game Day Preview articles off what AccuScore has done with their mainframe simulation of the game. Unfortunately AccuScore now wants $350 a pop for access to their computer’s prediction. That’s a little bit too much rain for my gutters to handle. So here’s a new  source: Odds Shark , which is affiliated with the Bovada group in Vegas— PREDICTED...
