The Eagles are rolling right now, and after beating a division opponent by racking up an impressive 45 points, they must be feeling pretty good about themselves. Unfortunately, this game Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers has "trap game" written all over it. The 49ers are a team that, in my opinion, has underachieved this season. I thought that after the showing they put on with then-interim head coach ...

It's always fun when the Eagles and Giants go at it. Most Philly fans would say that the Cowboys are the most hated rivals, but Brian Dawkins always used to say that nothing got his blood pumping like Giants weekùboth of them. The Giants, however, are a bit limp heading into this game. They won five straight games to start the year, then they lost four straight, and now ...

Maybe not anymore, but Curtis was once overrated. I touched on this a little bit in my last post, but figured we should delve deeper into why Kevin Curtis, and his 2007 season, has been overrated here in Philly. First, let's remind everyone of the end result. With 77 receptions, 1,110 yards and six touchdowns, Curtis set or matched career bests in every major category. Many people ...

Matt Ryan is out, Chris Redman is in. Michael Turner is beat up and might not play; Jerious Norwood, his backup, is less than 100 percent; and this is a team that just barely pulled off a win against the one-win Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So why isn't there a fan in the city of Philadelphia who feels like this will be the easy game that it should be on ...

Like last week, this is absolutely a must-win game for the Birds. In fact, every game from now on is a must-win game because teams like the Packers and Falcons are just waiting for the Eagles to lose and gain more of a foothold in the NFC wildcard race. I say the "wildcard" race, but the Eagles are still looking at the possibility of a Week 17 showdown in ...

There is a lot being made of the NFL's overtime rule these days, especially this past week, with a couple games going into overtime. Many people would like to see the overtime rule changed from the traditional sudden-death setting the league has now to a more collegiate style where both teams get the ball at least once. However, changing the overtime real would only be treating a symptom and ...

Playing the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football ùplaying under the lights, McNabb heading back to his old stomping grounds on a nationally televised game. What in the world could possibly make this game any worse? Oh, well, how about the fact that the team we haven't been able to beat over the past two years anyway, now has a legitimate threat at quarterback? Yeah, I guess that could ...

After suffering his second concussion in only three weeks, the Eagles are being very, very cautious with their star running back, Brian Westbrook. Reid has continuously said that Westbrook's health is their primary concern, and now he's proven it by ruling Westbrook out for Sunday's game. Even when healthy, Westbrook has not been very impressive this season and has lost some carries to the rookie LeSean McCoy and ...

Gocong has never played MIKE in the NFL or college. This Sunday, we could see some new faces in different places in the linebacking corps given that Akeem Jordan will most likely not play. Sean McDermott has openly said that if Jordan can not play that Will Witherspoon will line up as the WILL linebacker, Chris Gocong at MIKE, and Moise Fokou will get ...

Mike Pereira, VP of officiating for the NFL, said on his usual Wednesday chat with Rich Eisen of NFL Network's Total Access program, said he would have moved the ball on the fourth-down Donovan McNabb sneak. Pereira said that with the presence of the field logo, it made the spot very easy to make because the ball lands at a point in the Eagles' logo. He said that had ...
