Brian Westbrook says he is preparing to return to the Eagles next year. However, after two lackluster seasons in which he was injured and appeared to have lost the explosiveness that made him the Eagles ultimate weapon, questioning whether or not he will be back is fair game.
The fact is Westbrook is scheduled to make [...]

Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, Joe Banner and the rest of the Eagles better have been paying attention to the Super Bowl tonight. They must learn a lesson from the Saints and head coach Sean Payton: Be aggressive and don’t be scared to fail.
The Saints got off to a slow start, trailing 10-0 [...]

Is Howie Roseman right man for Eagles GM job?
January 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment · NFL, Philadelphia Eagles
With Tom Heckert leaving town to take the Cleveland Browns general manager position, the Eagles are expected to promote current Vice President of Player Personnel Howie Roseman to succeed Heckert.
Can Roseman duplicate the success that Heckert had in finding players, especially in the draft as the Eagles have done the last few years?
That’s debatable, and [...]

Reid enters Mike Martz territory
November 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Philadelphia Eagles
“If you continue to do the same thing, you will get the same results.”
Eagles pipsqueak President Joe Banner said those words following the team’s loss to the Cardinals in last year’s NFC Championship Game.
Andy Reid didn’t get the memo because 11 seasons into his tenure he still wastes timeouts, challenges plays he shouldn’t and wouldn’t [...]

October 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia Phillies
In an effort to refocus the Philly sports spotlight on themselves today, the Eagles have made a trade at the deadline to solidify themselves as championship contenders.
Will Witherspoon was acquired to add needed depth at the LB position. We’re sure this move will knock J-Roll, Ryan Howard and the Phillies off of the front page [...]

Reid solely to blame for Raiders disaster
October 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Philadelphia Eagles
“This is my fault; I need to put my players in a better position to make plays.”
For more than a decade, Eagles fans have been subjected to that patronizing statement from coach Andy Reid after every loss.
This is one week we must accept that line simply because it’s true. Sunday’s embarrassing 13-9 loss the the [...]

Eagles should soar past Oakland
October 18th, 2009 · No Comments · NFL, Philadelphia Eagles
The Los Angeles Clippers and Arizona Cardinals have been bumped down the list of professional sports most dysfunctional organizations. The top spot now belongs to the Philadelphia Eagles opponent for this week — the Oakland Raiders.

October 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Philadelphia Eagles
On the day Eagles coach Andy Reid notched his 100th win, rookie wide receiver Jeremy Maclin crashed the celebration and threw his own coming out party.
Maclin, who started in place of injured receiver Kevin Curtis, was Donovan McNabb’s main target in Sunday’s 33-14 win. On the day, Maclin caught six passes for 142 yards and [...]

Sick of Wildcat? Here comes Vick
September 21st, 2009 · No Comments · NFL, Philadelphia Eagles
Early in Sunday’s game, Jeremy Maclin lined up in the Wildcat.
“Oh, boy, just wait until next week when Vick is back,” your Daily Philadelphian said with a sarcastic undertone.
“Can you imagine what it’ll be like next week with Michael Vick back?” Merrill Reese pondered over the airwaves of WYSP just seconds later.
The Eagles ran nine [...]

Kolb earned another start
September 21st, 2009 · No Comments · NFL, Philadelphia Eagles
Early in the second half during Sunday’s 48-22 thumping, boos cascaded down from the upper bowl of Lincoln Financial Field.
Surprisingly, Kevin Kolb was not the main target. Even more surprising? Chants for Jeff Garcia didn’t overtake the stadium at any point on Sunday. That’s how well Kolb played.
Making his first career start, the third year [...]
