Wow. What an emotional win. It took all three phases of the game for the Philadelphia Eagles to edge by the Buffalo Bills 23-20, in a game that kept the Eagles tied with the Washington Redskins atop the NFC East. The major storyline, in case you were living under a rock or on Mars, was the return of LeSean McCoy, the all-time leading rusher in Eagles’ history, to Philadelphia. McCoy…
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…
View image | gettyimages.com Following the debacles against Tampa Bay and Detroit, no one could have envisioned what the Philadelphia Eagles did to the New England Patriots on Sunday. After going down 14-0 – and with it looking like Chip Kelly’s squad would be on the losing side of a third straight blowout (and fourth straight defeat) – Philly took control of the game with an unprecedented 35…
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…

View image | gettyimages.com Picking just one disappointing player on the 2015 Philadelphia Eagles is a near-impossible task; it’s been a collective, joint effort by the offense, defense, and special teams for this team to underachieve as much as it has. Preseason Super Bowl aspirations ranging from Joe Banner to Adam Schefter to a great majority of this fanbase have fallen drastically short, to the point that it would…
View image | gettyimages.com A roller coaster of a Philadelphia Eagles season took a major plummet with a disheartening 45-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a squad fresh off a 2-14 record that earned them the No. 1 overall pick in this past year’s draft. Chip Kelly’s no-huddle offense that set franchise records in scoring in both 2013 and 2014 has now been held to under 20 points…
View image | gettyimages.com It was only a matter of time. Sam Bradford made it through the first half of the season without suffering an injury, but how much longer could the fragile Eagles quarterback remain upright behind a makeshift offensive line? If you had Week 10 in the ‘when will Sam Bradford be injured’ pool, please step forward to claim your prize. It was a vicious hit…
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…
View image | gettyimages.com No one expected the Philadelphia Eagles to lose to the Miami Dolphins and their interim head coach, especially after the Eagles built a commanding 16-3 first-quarter lead. But the Eagles scored just three points for the rest of the game, falling by a 20-19 score in a game that could have catapulted Philly into first place in the NFC East. To make matters worse, starting…
