  Wow. That’s about the only thing you can say after the Philadelphia Eagles’ shocking 35-28 victory over the New England Patriots, a game the Eagles were supposed to lose by double-digit points against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.  The Eagles scored 35 unanswered points after a 14-0 deficit, which included three non-offensive touchdowns, yet they still needed a last-second defensive stop to claim their biggest victory of the Chip…

It’s been one of the most fascinating NFL seasons I can remember and we haven’t even entered the season’s final stretch.  Just look at the standings, where a record number of teams seem to be embroiled in mediocrity, either 4-6 or 5-5. Then there’s the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers who stand above the rest, both with a legitimate chance to finish the season undefeated.  On the field, there’s…

  It’s been a wild, crazy NFL season so far. Just look at the standings if you need proof. Through the first 10 weeks of the season, only 11 teams have a winning record. That’s the fewest in a season since 1990.  We’ve had some wild moments involving quarterbacks, everything from Tom Brady turning in a possible repeat of his 2007 season to Peyton Manning getting benched after arguably the…

The Eagles just aren’t a very good football team. Inconsistent and unable to put together anything resembling a complete game, the Eagles blew a 16-3 first quarter lead against the Miami Dolphins. Their 20-19 loss left them a game under .500 on a day when a victory would have given the Eagles control of the NFC East. On the 13th episode of the SwartzSports podcast, Bryn and Cody recap the…
