View image | gettyimages.com It’s safe to say the first month of the season hasn’t gone as expected for Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles. With three losses in their first four games, the Eagles face a major uphill battle to have any chance at reaching the postseason. In fact, it’s safe to say that if the Eagles don’t win in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints,…
View image | gettyimages.com Despite an underwhelming start to 2015, the Philadelphia Eagles can remarkably stay in the thick of the NFC East hunt with a win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Dallas Cowboys, last year’s division champion, have been plagued by injuries this season and get a tough matchup against the 3-0 New England Patriots, who are fresh off a bye week. Likewise, the…
View image | gettyimages.com To say the season hasn’t gone as planned for the Philadelphia Eagles is probably an understatement. Preseason Super Bowl aspirations have dissolved, and in its place is an Eagles team that is boring, predictable, mediocre, and – at a 1-3 record – last in the NFC East. It’s all on Chip Kelly, who asked for full power, got it, and so far, has driven the…
SwartzSports Podcast 9: Philadelphia Eagles Fall to 1-3, NFL Awards, MLB Postseason In the ninth SwartzSports podcast, Cody and Bryn Swartz recap yet another Philadelphia Eagles loss, this one a three-point loss to the Washington Redskins. Where do the Eagles go from here? Should Chip Kelly have cut Caleb Strugis after the game? Which players deserve quarter-season awards, both good and bad? There’s also a little bit…
View image | gettyimages.com It’s safe to say that a 1-3 start to the season is not what anybody expected. Not you, not me, and certainly not Chip Kelly. No, the Eagles’ head coach likely expected his team to be a perfect 4-0, first in the league in scoring and close to the top 10 in defense. After all, he’s Chip Kelly, and he’s experienced nothing but success…
View image | gettyimages.com The Philadelphia Eagles took a 24-0 halftime lead over the New York Jets in Sunday’s Week 3 action and held on for a 24-17 win, improving their record to 1-2 on the season. While Chip Kelly’s team got a much-needed win to stay in the NFC East hunt, there are still some concerns with this team. Quarterback Sam Bradford missed a slew of throws,…
View image | gettyimages.com Finally. After two straight brutal losses to open their season, the Eagles came away with a much-needed victory against the New York Jets to improve their record to 1-2. It wasn’t a pretty performance, as the Eagles jumped out to a 24-0 lead and hung on for a late 24-17 victory. But the goal for any team, especially one that began the year with consecutive…
View image | gettyimages.com To say the Philadelphia Eagles needed Sunday’s 24-17 win over the New York Jets is an understatement. A September non-conference game doesn’t have the same impact as a Week 17 rivalry with the New York Giants, but if the Eagles make the playoffs, an argument could be made that this game saved the season. The Chip Kelly doubters were everywhere after an 0-2 start that saw…
It’s just Bryn in the eighth SwartzSports podcast, which breaks down the painful week following the Philadelphia Eagles’ embarrassing 20-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It’s been six days since the Eagles loss to the Cowboys and I’m still not over it. This was a game when a first down was a monumental accomplishment. The offensive performance by the Eagles ranks among the worst I have ever seen. Hear where this…
View image | gettyimages.com Remind me to never again believe anything that happens in the preseason. The talk of the preseason after averaging more than 33 points per game in their four contests, the Eagles were widely regarded as one of the NFL’s top teams heading into the 2015 season. In fact, experts such as Adam Schefter and Joe Banner picked them to win the Super Bowl. Safe…
