Eagles Post-Mortem: Everything Else
Part 1 was easy. The offense doesn't need a lot of tweaking. Yeah, there's the question with the quarterback, but regardless of what happens there, you have to feel good about next year (unless Vick is brought back as the starter, which would send me into KILLKILLKILL mode). The offensive line requires attention, but for the first time in a long ( Read more... ) -
Eagles Post-Mortem: Offense
I pegged the Eagles for an 8-8 team this year. Given their deficiencies at linebacker, free safety and a questionable offensive line, I thought it was a fair prediction, even if it pained me to make it as a diehard fan. They were three wins better than that this year, but the way they rolled over and died against Dallas in their last two games, and ( Read more... ) -
Eagles Hangover Week 9: The Little Things That Kill
Last week, everything went right for the Eagles as they decimated a hated divisional rival en route to claiming a share of first place. Sunday... not so much. While the Cowboys played well enough to win, the game could have, and really should have, gone the other way if you think about all the lapses the Eagles made. You can blame the players (and ( Read more... ) -
Eagles Hangover Week 8: Chalk One up for the Unsung Heroes
I'd talk about being vindicated this week after the Eagles balanced the offense and put up a 40-spot on the sinking Giants, but who wants to read that? I'd talk about Donovan McNabb and his weapons of the future having a breakout game as a collective, but everyone's covering that angle ( Read more... ) -
Eagles Hangover, Week 7: ...
Don't get too excited. It was only the Redskins. -
Eagles Hangover Week 5: The Middle
The Eagles' 33-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccanneers on Sunday was perhaps the least-impressive 19 point victory this side of of a FBS/FCS matchup in college football. Sure, we handled the Bucs on the scoreboard, BUT it was a sloppy, sloppy game, again, mostly with defense and special teams. I saw three big issues with the Birds in the win, two ( Read more... ) -
Eagles Hangover Week 3: Youth Has Been Served
No Donovan McNabb? No Brian Westbrook? No Kevin Curtis?
No problem!The Eagles rolled to a 34-14 win over the hapless Kansas City Chiefs, riding the backs of their young players on offense and depending on their defense to shut down the Chiefs' impotent offensive game. LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek, Kevin Kolb and especially DeSean ( Read more... ) -
Eagles Hangover, Week 2: No Discipline
Kevin Kolb wasn't the reason why the Eagles got their asses kicked. Neither was the Wildcat. Both of those aspects of the game were working for the Birds, regardless of what any of the talking heads in print journalism will say. Criticizing the Wildcat is plain ignorant, since the Eagles moved the ball pretty well every time they lined up in that ( Read more... )
