Cowboys Roll Over the Birds 34-14
I think we can all agree that the better team won last night. The Eagles had no answer for either the Cowboy's offense or defense in their third loss of the year to Dallas.
Last night Philly was completely man handled on both sides of the line. Their big play offense was held in check by a persistent pass rush and excellent coverage in the secondary. Their defense was shredded for...

Eagles vs. Dallas Part III
In an 8:00 P.M. start in Dallas this Saturday night, the 11-5 Eagles will try to avoid being swept by the 11-5 Cowboys after dropping the second game of the season series 24-0 last week. This magnitude of this lost is still hard to comprehend as it Birds dropped from the #2 seed and a week off to the #6 seed meaning another trip to Cowboy's Stadium to face one of the hottest...

Cowboys Win the NFC East in Convincing Fashion
In what was supposed to be a classic battle for the NFC East division title between two teams that have one of the most heated rivalries in the NFL, it actually turned out to be a complete one way affair with Dallas running away with a 24-0 win.
The Cowboys opened the game by running right down the Eagles' throats with Marion Barber gaining yards in chunks and Tony Romo sitting...

The Birds and the Boys Play One for All the Marbles
As another Eagle blogger put it, "this one is going to be epic."
The Eagles travel to Dallas to play the Cowboys in a game that could mean the difference between a smooth, straight path to the NFC Championship game or a rough and rocky road rather not traveled. Simply put, if the Birds beat the Boys on Sunday, they would win the NFC East, but more importantly secure a first round...

Eagles Hold On to Beat the Broncos 30-27
In a game that appeared to be over in the third quarter after the Eagles opened up a 17 point lead, it actually came down to a 28 yard David Acker's field goal with four seconds left to give the Birds a dramatic 30-27 win over the Denver Broncos. In the final drive, WR Jeremy Maclin made a 27 yard shoestring catch that was at first called incomplete, but overturned upon review...

Make it Five in a Row for the Birds
Mother Nature dumped 16 inches of snow on the Linc, delaying the start of their game against San Francisco by a couple of hours but it was not enough slow down the big play offense of the Eagles. Behind the arm of Donovan McNabb, they came away with a huge win over the 49ers to take their record to 10-4. It was Philadelphia's fifth win in a row that clinched at the very least a...

Eagles Return to the Linc to Play the 49ers
After playing four out of their last five games on the road, Philadelphia has two straight home games as they continue their quest for another NFC East Title. This Sunday they welcome the 6-7 San Francisco 49ers to town for a 1:00 P.M start at the Linc.
The 9-4 Eagles can clinch a playoff spot with a win this Sunday and a loss by either the Cowboys or the Giants. Dallas faces...

Eagles Win a Wild One Over the Giants
When the Eagles jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the first quarter after Sheldon Brown returned a Brandon Marshall fumble 60 yards for a TD, I thought we were in for another lopsided win over the Giants. While the Birds eventually came away with the 45-38 victory it was a wild one from start to finish.
Give New York credit as they never quit and even briefly had a 31-30 lead with...

Eagles@ Giants Preview
The Eagles head into the Meadowlands on Sunday night to play the Giants in what will be a battle for supremacy in the NFC East. I did not forget about the Cowboys, but it is the month of December and it is time for them to fade away like a bad memory.
The first time these two teams met in week eight the Eagles jumped all over the G-Men and rolled to a dominating 40-17 win, but...

The Eagles Roll over the Falcons 34-7
In one of their most complete games since their 38-10 win over Carolina on opening day, the Eagles jumped out to a great start and never looked back in a 34-7 win over Atlanta. They put forth a complete effort in all phases of the game as the only flaws were a missed field goal by David Akers and a meaningless TD given up by the defense in the closing seconds spoiling the shutout...

Eagles Clash with Falcons
7-4 Philadelphia travel to Atlanta to play the 6-5 Falcons this Sunday in a key NFC match-up with huge playoff implications.
The Eagles are currently one game behind the 8-3 Cowboys in the NFC East and would have a wildcard spot if the season ended today. The Falcons are currently second to the 11-0 Saints in the NFC South so the division is out of reach, but they are still very...

Eagles Survive to go to 7-4
In a game they had no business winning, the Eagles found a way to overcome an eight point 4th quarter deficit and pull out a dramatic 27-24 win over the Washington Redskins. They were outmatched in almost every statistic of the game except the most important one; the scoreboard. While this wasn't a must win for the Birds it does go a long way to keeping them on pace with Dallas...

The Eagles Host the Redskins this Sunday
The Eagles welcome the Redskins to Lincoln Financial Field this Sunday at 1:00 P.M. in the second game of their 2009 season series. Philadelphia comes into this game at 6-4, 1 1/2 games behind Dallas in the NFC East after the Cowboys won their traditional Thanksgiving Day game this year against the Oakland Raiders 24-7. The Redskins are 3-7 after losing to Dallas last week in...

Eagles Beat the Bears 24-20
The Eagles got a much needed victory on Sunday night when they erased a three point deficit midway in the 4th quarter, scoring the go ahead touchdown with a little over five minutes to play in the game. Rookie RB LeSean McCoy's 10 yard run, which capped off a 62 yard drive, put Philadelphia on top 24-20 and that is how the game ended. The Bear's had one final shot to win the game...

Eagles@ Bears- Tale of the Tape
The Eagles travel to Chicago to play the Bears in a nationally televised game on Sunday night. Philadelphia comes into this game with a 5-4 record and have lost two straight games and Chicago is currently 4-5 and have lost two straight as well.
This game is bascially a must win for both teams as the loser will seriously jepoardize their chance to make the postseason. The following...

Chargers Hold On to Beat the Birds 31-23
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 the Green Bay Packers upset the Cowboys 17-7, so Philadelphia didn't lose any ground in the NFC...

Eagles First Half Review
The first half of the 2009 NFL season is in the books and the Eagles are currently sitting in second place in the NFC East at 5-3, one game in back of Dallas who is now 6-2 after their victory over Philly on Sunday night, and a 1/2 game ahead of New York who at 5-4 already have a game in the loss column for their second half.
If you had to sum the Bird's first half with a grade I...

Eagles Fall out of First Place with a 20-16 Loss to the Cowboys
Last night's loss to the Cowboys came down to two simple factors that have plagued the Eagles in recent history; the ability to convert third and short yardage opportunities on offense, and the ability to shut down opposing team's tight ends on defense. Against Dallas they failed miserably in both categories and it cost them the game.
Not only couldn't the Birds convert some short...

The Importance of Beating the Cowboys
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 team in control of the division.
This game is extremely important for the Eagles on so many levels. The...

Eagles Dismantle the Giants 40-17
This was the kind of game I have been waiting to see since the two-a-days at Lehigh back in July. While the Eagles have looked good against some of the dregs of the NFL, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, and Carolina they finally put together the entire package against a team with a winning record. In a game that they had to win, the Birds dominated the Giants in every phase of the game....

Sunday Showdown as the Giants Come to Town
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.
The Giants come into this contest having lost their last two games. Two weeks ago they were completely blown...

Big Plays Pace the Eagles past the Redskins
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.
DeSean Jackson's 67 yard end around run for a touchdown in the first quarter and his 57 yard catch for a touchdown in the second quarter were...

Eagles vs. Redskins The Tale of the Tape
Statistics are a vital aspect of any sport. They provide a unit of measure by which we can evaluate performance to make sense of the past as well as help predict what might happen in the future. Here is a breakdown of all the vital statistics, or what I like to refer to as "the tale of the tape" for Monday night's game between the Eagles and the Redskins.

What went wrong against the Raiders
While I'm still not over the Eagles stunning loss to the Oakland Raiders, I finally had the courage to take a look back to try and figure out what went so horribly wrong with this game. There were some obvious factors that may have contributed to this loss. First, the Birds had to travel cross country and may have still be suffering from some jet lag. Second, they may have got caught...

Marginalizing the QB
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 to stretch the field. Probably DeSean down the sideline on play that will either be a big gainer or...
