Eagles: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Harv is MIA so I’ve got both the O and D this week. I suspect he has elected to hide under his bed until Westbrook starts playing again. The D pulled off a wallstreet bailout with a solid plan and then the offense summarily voted it down with some unenthusiastic efforts.
THE O
GOOD — [...]

Preview: Eagles Soar Into Chicago Sunday Night

The Eagles head to Chicago for a prime time battle against the Bears on Sunday night. On paper, this should be a win for the Eagles, but the Bears are coming off of consecutive losses, and aren’t going to just give in to the Eagles. The Bears are going to offer the Eagles some trouble, [...]

Defense Comes Alive in Win over Pittsburgh

The Eagles hosted the 2-0 Steelers Sunday for the “Keystone State Battle.” What a battle it was. Donovan McNabb started the day throwing 15 straight completions, a new franchise record, and ended up going 24/35 with one touchdown and an interception.

As the Eagles get set for the Steelers, it appears that the team will have starting center Jamaal Jackson in the lineup. Jackson’s brother was killed in Miami by a drunk driver on Sunday, and right now Jackson has been excused for all activities leading up to the game against the Steelers. The [...]

Week #2 - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

By Jay Arnold and Matt Harvey
This week Harv has the O and I’ve got the D.
It was one of the most exciting games I’ve ever watched. Huge plays right and left. I didn’t take the loss as hard as I thought I would because this game affirmed my suspicions that the Birds can [...]

Eagles Come Up Short in Monday Night Shootout

The Philadelphia Eagles traveled to Dallas this week, to take on the Cowboys in Texas Stadium. It was a back and forth contest that went pretty much down to the wire. There were seven, (Wow!) lead changes in this game. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the Cowboys got the last one.
There was no defense. Each [...]

The status of WR Reggie Brown for Monday’s showdown with the Cowboys is still up in the air. Brown was on the practice field on Thursday, but was limited, and does not know if he’ll be able to go or not in the NFC East showdown. “I don’t want to have to go [...]
