T.O. Wars: The Wrath of Parcells
It was only a matter of time before Mt. Owens blew up and I think it happened yesterday with T.O.'s little tantrum to the media where he bitched about not getting the ball enough. My favorite part was when T.O. acknowledged being told that the Cowboys base offense wouldn't change to accommodate him,...

Hello 2007
Well, I just got back from New Year's break and I haven't a whole lot of thoughts at the moment on the Phillies ... or the Eagles right now. Today's post will just be a stream-of-consciousness thing …-I went to Sunday's Eagles â€" Falcons game at the Linc. Despite the Eagles first-teamers being r...

The End
-Simply losing yesterday's game to the woeful Tennessee Titans 31-13 put the Eagles in too big of a hole to climb out of. It isn't so much their record: 5-5 isn't bad, given that there are a bunch of 6-4 and 5-5 teams the Eagles are pursuing, but their upcoming schedule is too daunting for them to r...

Hold on...
Okay, so here is the deal. I really want to get back to blogging the Eagles and I have a lot to say about the team, especially after last weekend's 30-24 loss to the G-men. But right now all of my energy is focused on A Citizens Blog: the Phillies run to the post-season and some long-term projects I...

4th & 1
I've been having fun with You Tube.com looking at clips from The Daily Show and the Colbert Report and I found this clip of the Eagles 4th & 1 stand against the Dallas Cowboys in 1995. Great moment in Eagles history. Watch!

Best Week the Eagles have had for a while...
The Eagles didn't play yesterday but they still had a nice day. In addition to resting up a few games ended up going their way and helped their post-season chances, including three games that were upsets and saw teams the Eagles might be chasing in December drop to 4-4 instead of going to 5-3:-The M...

I was watching...
The NFL network last night and observed the pitifull performance turned in by Eagles Cheerleaders Janipher and Allison in last night's episode. Jeez, dead-last? Terrible. Simply terrible. I can't believe they got the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears mixed up as well. Tisk, tisk.

Good First-Half, Lousy Second
(I promise to return to longer posts once the Phillies season is over.)Nice 38-24 win the Eagles got in the City by the Bay. McNabb riddled the 'Niners D for 296 yards and two TDs on 18-of-33 passing. The Eagles D scored a touchdown and did a good job bottling up the 'Niners offense early before sla...

Best Sunday Ever!
Sorry for the belated post on the Eagles 38-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. I actually was in the Philadelphia area this past weekend and didn't return to my home outside Pittsburgh until late yesterday night.I honestly don't think that the Eagles game could have gone any better. Ther...

Jags 13, Birds 6
As for the Eagles 13-6 loss yesterday to the Jacksonville Jaguars … Well, the less said the better. The Eagles great Achillies Heel â€" both of them â€" were exposed for the world to see on Sunday. First, the Eagles cannot run the ball. Just 85 yards on 20 carries, but 37 of those came from McNabb...

If Wishes Were Horses ...
Let's talk some football … Do you know what really pisses me off about the Eagles 30-24 OT loss in week two to the Giants? We'd be 4-0 heading into this Sunday's matchup with T.O. with games right after that against the over-rated Saints and the ripe-for-the-plucking Buccaneers. We could have been...

That is how many yards of rushing the Eagles had in yesterday's 36-22 win over the hated New York Giants, probably the most satisfying win the Eagles have had since they beat the Dallas Cowboys back in October. With the victory the Eagles go to 8-6 and assume a commanding position in the NFC playoff...

Grudge Match
It was a grudge match, it was a dog fight, it was everything you'd expect an NFC East football game would be. In the end, the Philadelphia Eagles were tougher, grittier, nastier than their enemy. That is the reason why the Eagles defeated the New York Giants 23-20 yesterday in a game that cause me ...

Birds 27, Native Americans 3.
Being the nerd that I am I sat down after the Eagles game on Sunday and figured out that the Eagles had run the ball 189 times this season prior to Sunday in eight games and had thrown the ball 299 times, or roughly 61% of the Eagles plays from scrimmage. The Eagles threw the ball three times for eve...

Miracle @ the Linc
As I watched last night's Eagles-Panthers game I allowed a thought to creep into my head: "The Eagles might just win this game."Shocking, I know. I see that just 16% of Yahoo! Sports Pick 'em users picked the Eagles to win this game. I don't blame them: if I were betting I'd have money on Carolina....

Bucs 23, Eagles 21
All I could think, as I digested the Eagles stunning 23-21 loss yesterday to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was: Wow, that really sucked.Let's face it: the Bucs were lucky and the Eagles deserved to lose more than the Bucs deserved to win. The Eagles allowed a pair of defensive touchdowns and surrendered a...

Couldn't Flex Out of This One...
The NFL's must-hyped, much-discussed "flex schedule" couldn't save NBC from showing last night's 45-21 annihilation of the Eagles at the hands of the 10-1 Indy Colts. Largely born out of last season's 42-0 embarrassment at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, ABC dropped Monday Night Football because ...

NFL Preview 2006
I've decided to do a brief NFL preview which I will post jointly on A Citizens Blog and The Bird Blog, my old quasi-defunct Eagles blog. I don't blog the Eagles because I don't have enough time and working with the baseball stats is so much fun: stats aren't nearly as important in football, where so ...

Dawk Did It!
The Eagles 21-19 victory over the Washington Redskins was a big, big win for the team as they continue on their unlikely march towards the playoffs. As I write this the Eagles are 7-6 and in the thick of the playoff hunt. What a difference a year makes, as last season's Eagles team finished 6-10 and...

They Aren't the Aints Anymore...
The Eagles 27-24 loss to New Orleans yesterday is extremely disappointing, especially given the fact that the Cowboys and Giants both won their games, but it wasn't overly surprising: the Saints are for real. They have a good QB in Drew Brees, who it hitting on all cylinders and runs the Saints shor

Super Bowl XLI
I remarked to my wife before Super Bowl XLI began: “I hope we don’t have a blow-out.” My mind harkened back to the lop-sided Super Bowls of the 1980s, when the New York Giants humiliated the Denver Broncos 39-20 in Super Bowl XXI, when the Washington Redskins defeated the Broncos 42-10 in Super Bowl XXII, when the San Francisco 49ers annihilated the … well, Broncos 55-10...

Super Bowl XLI Predictions
So Super Bowl XLI is this weekend, pitting two very unlikely teams against one another. The Chicago Bears, an offensively inept team that struggled badly at various moments in the NFL season, are playing the Indianapolis Colts, a team that seemed sunk when it fell behind the New England Patriots 21-3 in the AFC title game, but whom nevertheless rallied from the 18-point deficit and...

Empty or Full?
As I watched the seconds bleed off the clock on the Eagles 27-24 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Saturday night I began to ruminate on the Eagles season. Over the last few seasons we’ve been able to unequivicably state that a season was a success or a failure. 2001? Big success. The Eagles went to the NFC title game and nearly upset the mighty St. Louis Rams. 2003? Failure...

Running the Gauntlet
Just a quick word on the Eagles game today ….What a commanding performance by the Eagles. It was one of those games where you’d have to say that the Eagles simply took it straight to the Cowboys and hammered them into submission. The Gauntlet, the impenetrable path of three consecutive games road against NFC East foes that people forecast in the preseason would be the Eagles...
