Players To Watch In The Eagles Preseason Opener


Eagles football is BACK. With a roster that has gotten much deeper with talent seemingly everywhere, the excitement level for the Birds is sky high. To my surprise, the Eagles WILL play their starters for a series or two on Friday night. That means we will see new additions such as A.J. Brown and James […]

Exorcising Demons: How the Birds Can Upset Brady and the Bucs


For many Philadelphia sports fans, the Eagles loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2002 NFC Championship game ranks #1 in most fan’s hearts as the Eagles game that hurt the most.   The Eagles were supposed to win that game. It was supposed to be the final swan song for the Vet, and […]

Should Nick Sirianni Be in Consideration for Coach of the Year?


It seems so long ago but when Nick Sirianni gave his awkward introductory press conference as Eagles head coach it seemed like things were not going to go well. It was hard enough for him to fill in the shoes of Doug Pederson, the first head coach to deliver a Lombardi trophy to Philadelphia, but […]

Devonta Smith Was The Right Pick


If nothing else, every season the Eagles bye week reminds me of one thing about Philadelphia fans and media alike: If they cannot find drama, they will create it.   Imagine #Eagles didn’t project Micah Parsons as rusher, otherwise decades-old philosophy would have likely resulted in taking him over DeVonta Smith at 10. Unless they […]

Week 12 Preview: Philadelphia Eagles (5-6) at New York Giants (3-7)


In the wise words of Heath Ledger’s Joker, “And here…we…go.”   The Eagles improbable run to the postseason has begun. Every game from here on out is essentially a playoff game for the young Birds if they hope to get one of the seven postseason spots in the NFC. The stars seem to be aligning. […]

Week 11 Preview: New Orleans Saints (5-4) at Philadelphia Eagles (4-6)


If the Eagles win this game, we’re back in. That if is a big if, but it’s certainly possible.   “But Matt, all you’ve said over the past few weeks is how much this Eagles team sucks!” First of all, how dare you take my words and use them against me. That’s right, I said […]

Week 10 Preview: Philadelphia Eagles (3-6) at Denver Broncos (5-4)


I tried to tell ya. I tried my best to explain to you all that this team Is. Not. Good. Granted, the Eagles played a lot better last week then even my most hopeful thoughts anticipated.   The offense looked good. A heavy emphasis on the running game with a young quarterback, young receivers, and […]

Week 9 Preview: Los Angeles Chargers (4-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-5)


Did I miss something?   Has everyone forgotten that this Eagles team is bad? Am I supposed to forget that people were calling for Nick Sirianni’s head exactly one week ago? Hell, was I supposed to forget the whole flower thing that happened last week?   All of a sudden, after one beatdown of a […]

Week 7 Preview: Philadelphia Eagles (2-4) at Las Vegas Raiders (4-2)


The Birds fly west to play in Las Vegas for the first time in franchise history as they take on the high flying, yet controversial Raiders. For those who are reading this and have been living under a rock, former Raiders coach Jon Gruden resigned from his head coaching duties two weeks ago. This came […]

Week 5 Preview: Philadelphia Eagles (1-3) at Carolina Panthers (3-1)


The Philadelphia Eagles travel south to Charlotte, North Carolina to take on the somewhat surprising 3-1 Carolina Panthers. The Birds are coming off of a tough loss to one of the best teams in football, the Kansas City Chiefs.   The Eagles defense couldn’t stop a nosebleed for the second straight week. Offensively, Jalen Hurts […]
