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…
History will look back on Chip Kelly’s first offseason as the Eagles’ general manager as arguably the most memorable in franchise history. It began with a move that took the Eagles’ head coach just 20 minutes to finalize. On March 3rd, the Eagles announced that they had traded All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for inside linebacker Kiko Alonso. McCoy, the all-time leading rusher in franchise history,…
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…
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 The Eagles start off the second half of their season with a 1:00 game on a Sunday, their first since Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. That’s 35 days in a row the Eagles have gone without playing a game on a Sunday afternoon. They’ve fared pretty well during that stretch, defeating the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys but dropping a contest against the…
View image | gettyimages.com It’s safe to say that the 2015 Philadelphia Eagles’ season really hasn’t gone as anyone has expected. After all, preseason expectations for the team reached the point where national media members were predicting the Eagles to win the franchise’s first Super Bowl. And then the Eagles went out and fell flat on their face in the first month of the season. Although the Eagles…
View image | gettyimages.com Flash back to the second week of the 2015 season and think about how you felt as a fan after that game. Personally, that was as low as I’ve felt following a regular season game. The Eagles were horrible in that game, almost beyond words. Sam Bradford looked completely inept, scared, uncomfortable and skittish in the pocket. DeMarco Murray was stuffed on six consecutive…
View image | gettyimages.com A walkoff touchdown pass from Sam Bradford to Jordan Matthews – and against the Dallas Cowboys on primetime football, no less – was a glorious way for the Philadelphia Eagles to kickstart the second half of the season. For Chip Kelly’s team to have any hope of duplicating the postseason success many envisioned from this squad back in the preseason meant marching into Texas and beating…
View image | gettyimages.com It’s safe to say the first half of the season hasn’t exactly gone the way the Philadelphia Eagles hoped. The team hasn’t had a winning record once, dropping their first two games and sitting at 3-4 coming out of their bye week. Quarterback Sam Bradford is a shell of the promise he showed as a preseason passer, and big-name offseason acquisitions like DeMarco Murray, Nelson Agholor…
It’s just Bryn for the 11th edition of the SwartzSports podcast, two days after the Philadelphia Eagles dropped a Sunday Night contest to the Carolina Panthers to fall to 3-4 for the season. Speaking of drops, that’s all the Eagles have been doing this season, and they’re actually shattering records for offensive futility at the wide receiver position. On the defensive side of the ball, the Eagles continue to…
