The season wasn’t supposed to end like this. The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t necessarily have to beat Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but an honest to goodness battle against the Super Bowl champions would have been an encouraging finish for Birds fans. Instead, the Eagles were shellacked in the wild card round, falling down 31-0 in the third quarter before two late touchdowns made the score seem closer…

Picking one singular problem from the 2020 Philadelphia Eagles is impossible to do, and in fact, limiting the list to just 10 still seems light. It was a disaster of a season in every way for the Eagles, as they finished 4-11-1 and in sole possession of last place in the worst division ever. Quarterback was a problem. Coaching was a problem. The general manager was a problem. There were…

The inevitable finally happened in Sunday’s 30-16 loss to the Green Bay Packers: Carson Wentz was officially benched. And not just for a play of Jalen Hurts subbing in to run a predictable RPO keeper up the middle for two yards. This was a full-fledged, classic talk radio special benching with Hurts playing a full series and then staying in to complete the game. As many expected, Hurts injected life…

  Week 1 wasn’t supposed to go this way. After building a sizable 17-0 lead over Washington in the first half, the Philadelphia Eagles fell apart in every facet of the game.   Carson Wentz was awful. The offensive line was worse. The alarming lack of young talent exposed Howie Roseman’s recent drafts. Doug Pederson called a horrendous game. And even more players got hurt from a roster that already…

  The conclusion to one of the most roller coaster rides of a season to Eagles football that we’ve witnessed in recent memory came to a disappointing end at Lincoln Financial Field. We all know what happened. It was Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, a subject of many trade rumors for the Eagles in preseason, who ruined an entire city’s chances at a Super Bowl title when he knocked Carson…

Subpar wide receivers isn’t a new thing in Philadelphia. The 2000-2003 Philadelphia Eagles went to the playoffs four straight years but there’s a limit to how far a team can possibly go with James Thrash/Todd Pinkston/Freddie Mitchell catching passes, and we saw that on full display against Tampa Bay and Carolina in the NFC Championship Games. Over the years, we’ve seen the Eagles trot out Dorial Green-Beckham, late career Riley…

Howie Roseman is no stranger to making moves at the trade deadline. Two years ago, he traded for Miami running back Jay Ajayi, who went on to play a key role in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl championship a few months later. And last year, he sent a third-round pick for slot receiver Golden Tate. The Eagles struggled to incorporate Tate into the offense, but he did catch the game-winning…

There’s no denying that the 2019 Philadelphia Phillies fell short of expectations. After the organization spent close to half a billion dollars in the offseason, it’s not unreasonable to think a postseason finish was assumed. Instead, a second straight late-season skid tumbled the Phillies down the standings, and they finished with their eighth straight non-winning season. I’ll look at all the starting players in this article, grading the primary starting…

The 2019 Philadelphia Eagles season has been nothing short of exciting. Despite just a 2-2 record, every game has been decided by one score. Three of them were decided in the final minute. The wins have come via a 17-point comeback and then a 10-point road comeback/goal line stop of future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers on primetime football; meanwhile, the losses have come via a pair of dropped touchdown…
