One week they can win a game by running the ball, then the next week the running game will completely disappear. The case is the same with the passing game a...

When the Eagles played the Chiefs on Sept. 27 and scored 34 points, the average age of Philadelphia's starting was 24.5 years. The unit featured Jeremy Maclin (21), LeSean McCoy (21), DeSean Jackson (22), Brent Celek (24) and Kevin Kolb (25). In fact, Jason Peters (27) and Jamaal Jackson (29) were the offense's graybeards. In other words, the ...

Not really. Here's another play where you can see vintag...

Personally, I always hated report cards as a kid and I still despise "report-card" articles on NFL teams.

 There's absolutely no arguing that DeSean Jackson is one of the most exciting athletes in this town and he's been putting up big numbers after three games this season. He's known for being a bit outspoken and a guy who brings a whole lot of personality to the club. But battling a groin injury, having been shot up before the game, do you think his flip to split celebration was a smart move? [video below]

At this point, again depending upon which flag you fly, you either feel very good about your team, or you're a bit worried about its direction.It's not a difficult guess as to how Eagles fans are feeling right now, but I'm here to tell you it's not all that bad.

Well, Jackson and 5 other Eagles were fined 10k a piece by the NFL. Here's the $60,000 celebration. The guy who got it worst here has to be Kevin Curtis, who barely participates...

Stewart Bradley out for the year, a potentially dominant offensive line that suddenly looks suspect, Michael Vick, the usual McNabb drama, and we still have no idea what Westbrook is going give us.

Jason Babin, a defensive end who played for Seattle and Kansas City last season, was also signed to a one year deal. Babin is a former first round pick by the Houston Texans back in 2004, but he hasn't played like a top pick, totaling 15 sacks in 52 career games. Babin is likely just a training camp body and is a long shot at best to make the team.To make room ...
