Continuing this week's theme of absolutely ignoring Sunday night's must-win game against the Bears, I want to continue the McNabb discussion from Thursday. As usual, you all came through in the comments with good questions and ideas, and Brad even...

All things end badly, else they wouldn't end, which is why we know the end of the McNabb era will be bitter, ugly and leave fans just as divided about him as they were when he played here.
Real Eagles fans have always known that McNabb had more support around town than the national...

For all the talk of the inexperienced players and rookies who've taken the field for the Eagles on defense the last two weeks, it's worth noting that the Eagles' normally dependable (if not extraordinary) veteran cornerbacks were responsible for two catastrophic defensive...

The One In Which Andy Reid Settled For Moral Victories

Well, Andy was wrong. He faced multiple opportunities today to go for touchdowns and instead settled for field goals, gambling that his defense would at some point make some stops and the offense could keep piling up points. Nope, didn't...

With everything that's been screwed up about this season, and all the attention that's been grabbed by the rookies and Mike Vick, I'm starting to get the sense there's one new guy who hasn't been getting enough attention.

Three things you need to know about Chad Lewis:
First, that he's the author of a new book, Surround Yourself With Greatness, in which he talks about his time as an NFL player, but focuses more on the people around him, rather than his own exploits.

Let me dispel any notions you may have had that actually being the stadium might have improved the experience of watching last night's clunker against the Cowboys. On paper, everything looked great for the big Sunday Night game: beautiful weather...

There is a tendency after games like this to focus on one or two key moments, figure out who screwed up those situations, then blame that guy for the loss. That's happening in the open thread right now, with a...

The Eagles' struggles covering opposing tight ends have been well-documented, but with the Cowboys' Jason Witten coming to town this week, it's time to take a fresh look at the issue.*
