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 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, [...]

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 [...]
