As we reach the annual “must-win” portion of the Eagles season, I have identified a few things I’d really like to see on Sunday night, besides the obvious, which would be a win.
And here they are:
- An eight to ten play drive that results in a touchdown. You know...

My ITI spies have struck gold again. They got their hands on another clandestine meeting between Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb yesterday.
It’s been a long couple weeks for the Eagles, but thankfully it looks as if the fearless leaders of gang green are ready to right the sinking...

It’s always fun to take a gander at the Eagles’ stat sheets. Here are a few tidbits I found interesting.
- They have committed at least three penalties in every game this season.
- They have been flagged for seven or more infractions in six of nine games.
- They have recorded...
Cheesesteak of the Week

I shall not be deterred by another disappointing loss. The cheesesteak remains on the menu. Pickings were slim this week, but a couple guys put forth the maximum effort on Sunday.
The easy choice would be McNabb. Tossing for 450 yards looks good on the stat sheet, but when you chuck...

The Eagles are in trouble. This much we know. The Eagle Eye would have preferred to turn away yesterday, but it’s a glutton for punishment.
At least I was right about the number of points they would score. Yay 23! Boo the loss
The Eagles have many white whales, but the biggest...

I could spout a bunch of vitriol, but what would be the point? The 2009 Eagles just aren’t a very good team. Their execution is poor, their fundamentals are non-existent and their lack of intelligence is alarming.
Due to a spate of injuries, inexperienced players are being asked...
Eagles-Chargers Prediction

This one doesn’t exactly set up too nicely for the Eagles. Let me count the reasons:
1) The defense will be starting its sixth different middle linebacker since training camp began.
2) The nickel and dime cornerbacks are out.
3) They will be without their number one kick returner...

A lot can change in two years. Way back in 2007, Brian Westbrook and LaDainian Tomlinson were the two most feared running backs in the NFL. Each was a dual threat stud capable of scoring from anywhere on the field. Defensive coordinators needed anxiety drugs when preparing to face...

I don’t break many stories here at ITI, but my spies have gotten their grubby little paws on a recording of the behind closed doors meeting that occurred yesterday between Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb.
The duo had plenty to discuss, including where the team stands at the midway...

What a day. First, the Eagles lost cornerback Ellis Hobbs for the season, and now Joselio Hanson is off the active roster for at least a month. According to Geoff Mosher of delawareonline.com, it could be a violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. That has not been confirmed...

The Eagles have placed kick returner/cornerback Ellis Hobbs on injured reserve after he suffered a severe neck injury that will require surgery. This sucks. I like Hobbs and we all saw the last two weeks how dangerous he can be as a return man. The job now falls to Quintin Demps, Jeremy...

As we inch closer to another who-knows-what-team-will-show-up game on Sunday, I feel like I’ve finally figured out who the 2009 Philadelphia Eagles are.

After a very blah performance by the Eagles on Sunday night, the list of candidates deserving of a savory cheesesteak was small. In fact, I could only muster three players and one of those was David Akers. Not good.
Nevertheless, I nabbed a guy who came to play and held up his end...

What to make of our beloved Eagles at the midway point of the 2009 campaign? If any team is an enigma, it would be this bunch. A 5-3 record isn’t terrible, but it seems very misleading. If you call the Giants a quality opponent, and that’s debatable at this point, then...

It’s a game of inches. If the Eagles didn’t know that already, they do after tonight’s disappointing loss to the resurgent Cowboys. For all intents and purposes, the outcome was decided on a 4th and inches spot. Referee Walt Coleman originally marked a McNabb sneak...

I guess that precautionary rest for Brian Westbrook on Friday was a little more serious than Andy Reid let on. According to multiple sources, Westy will not be available for tonight’s crucial showdown with the Cowboys.

Nothing beats Cowboys week. The pageantry. The anticipation. The deep-seeded hatred. Ah, yes, it really is a special, special time of year. No matter the outcome, there’s always something to talk about.

Since nobody seems to be stressing the notion that Chris Gocong likely won’t play on Sunday against the Cowboys, allow me to be the worrywart.
Gocong will never get the pub that Trent Cole or Asante Samuel does, but that doesn’t make him any less important to the defense...

There’s a new stat over at NFL.com. Well, it’s new to me. I don’t recall seeing it before, but I drink a lot, so it might have been there before this season and I just missed it. Anyway, it focuses on the offensive line, which is nice because I don’t think we...

Sometimes I have to pinch myself while watching DeSean Jackson. I’m not used to having an explosive wide receiver who can catch and run and dominate a game wearing midnight green. Well, not since 2004, when he who shall not be named was snatching everything in sight.

While watching the Eagles-Giants game, I finally figured out why Brian Westbrook has had such a snakebit season so far. Blame fat John Madden and his evil video game:
