Another trip to the West Coast, another disappointing loss. This time the Eagles played a much better team, but unfortnately the result was the same, a 31-23 loss to the San Diego Chargers that dropped their record on the year to 5-4. The only bright spot of the day was the fact that...

As an Eagles' fan this week's match-up against the Cowboys is the kind of game you live for. There is something about playing a team that you really despise with a chance to not only beat them, but knock them out of first place. The icing on the cake is that a win puts your...

In the first really big game of the season, the Eagles get a chance to grab at least a share of the NFC East lead with a win on Sunday over the division rival New York Giants. There are always fireworks when these two teams meet and this week should not be any different.

Thank God for some big plays in last night's Eagles game or we could have had another ugly loss on our hands. While the Birds did play better in their 27-17 win over Washington, despite two big plays they still did not look good on offense.

In a nutshell, the Eagles should do everything in their power to make sure Kolb doesn't win or lose this game for them. I expect them to take a shot down the field early, possibly on the first play, definitely in the first quarter, just to show New Orleans they're willing...
