To no one’s surprise, Kevin Curtis had his problematic knee scoped. According to Andy Reid, he will be out for an undetermined amount of time. He could be back this season, but don’t count on it.
Even if Curtis does return, his role on the team has diminished with the emergence...

Have you read this little ditty over at Delaware Online by Geoff Mosher? To quickly summarize, $50 million-dollar man Asante Samuel said he wasn’t brought to the Eagles to tackle.
Technically, he’s kinda right. Cornerbacks who get lots of interceptions are rewarded with...

Remember all that wide receiver depth the Eagles had? Well, it’s officially gone. Hank Baskett and Brandon Gibson have been traded, Kevin Curtis’s balky knee is moments away from exploding and Reggie Brown continues to be persona non grata in the offense.
That leaves DeSean...

More bad news for the Eagles. At his weekly presser, Andy Reid revealed kinda sorta starting middle linebacker Omar Gaither has a Lis Franc sprain that will require surgery, thus ending his 2009 season.
And the hits keep coming! First Stew, now Omar. Trotter is old and slow, which...

Raise your hand if you recognize this description. A dysfunctional team, run by a powermad fool, with a lame duck head coach and a floundering quarterback playing a horrendous brand of football at a critical crossroads in the season. No, it’s not the Raiders. It’s the Eagles...

Add this to the list of confounding mysteries that surround the 2009 season: Winston Justice has become the Eagles most dependable offensive lineman. What?

According to PE.com, the Eagles have acquired Rams linebacker Will Witherspoon in exchange for wide receiver Brandon Gibson and a 5th round draft pick in 2010.
The Birds needed to do something to improve their beleaguered linebacker position. Witherspoon is in his 8th season out of...

Sorry, if you want me to drop Sunday’s unforgivable loss, you can fu**in’ forget it. I’m far from done taking the Eagles to task for spraying diarrhea all over the Black Hole. Too bad I didn’t heed my own words before sitting down to watch the game.

Rather than rehash what was a horrific performance yesterday, I’m going to use this time to address a sentiment that has been bothering me the last few years.

For whatever reason, I’m having trouble getting pumped for this game. I have a feeling watching Eagles fans and Raiders fans throw down in the parking lot will be more competitive than the actual on-field action.
I’ll be blunt. If the Eagles take a dump and lose this one...

You can always tell which team sucks and which one doesn’t when you check the numbers. Here are a few Eagles-Raiders stats I found intriguing. Keep in mind the Birds have played one less game.

With the Eagles secondary depleted by injuries, the team had ex-Vikings/Lions cornerback Marcus McCauley in for a look today. This info comes from Adam Caplan, via his Twitter.

At least I won’t have to repaint my truck or watch Cutthroat Island. Whew! The Eagles disposed of the Bucs today, but were hardly impressive in doing so. McNabb and Jeremy Maclin were the offense. The defense had trouble with a quarterback making his second career start. The...

Hopefully, this is one of those bench the guy to get him motivated moves. Trevor Laws, who was supposed to be the third defensive tackle for the Eagles, is a healthy scratch today. Instead, scrap heap signing Antonio Dixon gets the nod.
This is obviously not a good omen for Laws, a...

Prediction time!
Josh Johnson is in for a treat on Sunday. Sean McDermott is going to frighten and confuse him into oblivion. He might make a few plays with his legs, but expect a couple picks and at least three sacks.
If I was McNabb, I’d steer clear of Ronde Barber. He’...

It looks like rookie Jeremy Maclin has supplanted Kevin Curtis as the starting X receiver. It seemed like only a matter of time before this happened, but Curtis’ bum knee certainly made Reid’s decision easier. It’s obvious the future is now for Maclin.
