**** YEA!!That's how one of the NFC favorites is supposed to look in every aspect of the game.  The Eagles trotted out their JV offense and still was very impressive with DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek combining for 253 receiving yards accounting for nearly 80% of Kevin Kolb's 327 passing yards.  I know people are gonna say it was only against the KC Chiefs which has some merit...

This Eagles' season is gettting stranger and more curious with every day;  I'm beginning to feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, and I do mean hallucinogenic in every sense of the word.  As if the Mike Vick saga weren't enough, now the Eagles have signed QB Jeff Garcia, the NFL's version of Rocky Balboa, to a one-year deal as a backup to the injured Donovan McNabb, who...

Nobody expected the 38-10 drubbing of the Carolina Panthers by the Philadelphia Eagles on a gorgeous afternoon at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte before a sold-out home-opener crowd of the Panthers' faithful.... Wait---did I say "faithful"? By halftime, half the crowd had left for the exits and the remaining fans were booing QB Jack Delhomme's every move. It got beyond "awkward...

FootBasket's friends at Reservation for Six reports some really interesting news about the Minnesota Vikings. Bryan Brackney is reporting that Tarvaris Jackson has edged out Sage Rosenfels for the backup quarterback job. Rosenfels was traded to Minnesota this offseason as he was expected to be the team's starter.Apparently, that is not the case now. Before Brett Favre was signed...

Both the Carolina Panthers and the Philadelphia Eagles have huge obstacles to overcome in Sunday's game at 1 P.M. in Charlotte. Eagles head coach Andy Reid announced on Friday that All-Pro candidate RT Shawn Andrews will not be playing in the opener, and the Tackle who will take his place on the right side opposite the great Carolina DE Julius Peppers will be the relatively inexperienced...

This is the annual article when you predict where your hometown team will end up in January, and you know it's a biased opinion, but you have to at least pretend you're looking at your team objectively. Oh, I want to buy into the hype we got from the Athlon Sports preseason magazines and the ESPN pundits who were predicting an Eagles-Patriots Super Bowl back in July. But...

The powers that be in the NFL are carting out something this season called the AFL Legacy program, with the original AFL franchises wearing throwback uniforms when playing against each other. This reminds me of the vintage uniform craze during the NFL's 75th Anniversary season back in 1994, as well as this throwback eyesore from the Philadelphia Eagles a few years back: Thankfully...

Good thing it's a long 16-game season, because all the roster trauma is apparently front-loaded...The Eagles unexpectedly announced the release of TE Tony Curtis, whom it was assumed had won the back-up job for 2009, when TE Alex Smith suddenly became available from the New England Patriots. Smith is 6-4, 258, in his 5th year out of Stanford where he starred at TE and also majored...

The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran QB A.J. Feeley yesterday, virtually at the same time the Oakland Raiders released former Eagle QB Jeff Garcia.  Feeley, age 32, is entering his 9th season in the NFL, and Garcia,at age 39, his 11th...(Garcia spent his first 4 pro years in the CFL). You may recall how Garcia gave the Eagles a serious airlift in 2006 when, after Donovan...

Here is a no-holds-barred version of the Top 5 active NFL coaches. With the absence of Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden, and Tony Dungy this year, we needed to update the Top 5 Active NFL Coaches. For the next week I'll be hosting a count down to the best active coach in the NFL. 2. Andy Reid, Philadelphia Eagles Since this list has pretty much no statistical backbone, Andy Reid a personal...

Breaking news....so many of the guys I learned to like are gone! I wish I had never known them now, as the pain is in the saying of goodbye....Sorry to sound like an "Air Supply" song, but man, these final cuts are hard to take if you actually get up close to these good people. Here are Andy Reid's final cuts: Gone are DT Willie Williams, LB Curtis Gatewood, CB Jack Ikegwonou...
