Farewell 2011. Hello 2012
Posted on 2 Jan 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Don’t expect to hear much from the Great and Powerful Oz – a.k.a. Eagles NovaCare Braintrust. Owner Jeff Lurie, president Joe Banner and GM Howie Roseman were collectively incommunicado after Sunday’s thoroughly meaningless victory over Washington. They are expected to remain silent Monday and possibly throughout Tuesday. Apparently, if Lurie emerges from his NovaCare Complex office Wedne...

The Party’s Over…
Posted on 31 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins are both concluding disappointing seasons which will cause questions heading into 2012. While it may be difficult to believe, both teams have a lot of reasons to care about this game – though nearly all of those reasons have to do with evaluating talent for 2012. The Eagles will try for a fourth straight win and a season sweep of their NFC Eas...

Coaching Carousel as Reid Turns
Posted on 27 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
No one officially on the inside at Eagles Central, NovaCare Nation will divulge details but rumorologists, speculatists and media mongers can’t wait the extra week to start drooling over coaching options for 2012. Most can agree that some sort of change must occur, very likely involving curtailing the duties of current defensive coordinator Juan Castillo or installing a new defensive coordina...

Nightmare (not) on Broad Street
Posted on 26 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
It has ended and what a long, strange trip it has been. The Philadelphia Eagles may have won the battle with the enemy Dallas Cowboys (20-7) but they lost the war. December 24 would become the day the playoff hope died and the beginning of a winter, spring and summer of rampant discontent. As of their 4:15 EST kickoff in Dallas, the New York Giants were ahead of the New York Jets 20-14 with abo...

However Slim Chances, Keep Hope Alive
Posted on 22 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Like it or not, the Eagles bandwagon is still moving (though it is lighter after the hordes hopped off a few weeks ago). Thanks to a win in Miami followed by the Jets’ abject failure to field a football team (Eagles 9-0 vs. Jets since 1973) and the kindly NFC East being a festival of mediocrity, the Philadelphia Eagles at 6-8 do actually have a shot at the division title. This merry ride of d...

Eagles-Jets: Signs of Life?
Posted on 17 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
By now it is widely known that the New York Jets are headed for Philadelphia. The Eagles will face the ersatz Titans at Lincoln Financial Field in a game that means far more to one team than the other. Could it be that the 5-8 Eagles with their Lilliputian playoff hopes might rally themselves back into the mindset that an 8-8 record could win the NFC East? While the New York Jets (8-5) trail th...

Eagles Fail to Lose in Miami
Posted on 11 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Perhaps the best-kept secret in the NFL this week is that the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins were playing a game that counted. Fox Sports sent their D broadcast team while the Dade County area fans couldn’t even brag that level of commitment. Both teams entered the contest with identical 4-8 records, all playoff hopes dashed. For Miami it had been their 0-7 start which ruined their se...

Dolphins-Eagles… So What?
Posted on 10 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
In Week 14 of the NFL season there are 22 teams who still have some sort of hope for making the postseason. Most agree that the Green Bay Packers (13-0), San Francisco 49ers (10-2) and New Orleans Saints (9-3) have the top 3 NFC positions sewn up, while the AFC titans would include Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3), New England Patriots (9-3) and the surprising Houston Texans (9-3). Playoff Picture: W...

Lynch Mob Fells Eagles
Posted on 3 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Most of the populated world fears the apocalyptic nightmare scenario. Whether due to nuclear war, depletion of natural resources, destruction of the modern monoliths defining our world or simply an object of space debris colliding with the planet to cause collateral damage, fear of the unknown may be worse than the actual act of destruction. We don’t know how it will happen, but the one goo...

Eagles vs. Seahawks: Something’s Gotta Give
Posted on 30 Nov 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Should anyone try to tell you that this Thursday Night game between Philadelphia and Seattle holds any meaning for anyone not working for NFL Network, it might be difficult to believe them. While the Philadelphia Eagles have often performed their best in December under Andy Reid – this is also a franchise with a 61-51 record under Reid since Super Bowl XXXIX. Philadelphia enters December with...

Patriots Clip Eagles Playoff Hopes
Posted on 27 Nov 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Where to begin? Well for starters the Philadelphia Eagles 2011 postseason hopes have officially been dashed. True that mathematically there is still a chance that Philadelphia could possibly under some dire series of remotely unlikely events still have a shot, but Eagles nation has folded up the banners, taken down the bandstand and parked the bandwagon in mothballs until next season. This part...

Patriots vs. Eagles: Dominance vs. Desperation
Posted on 26 Nov 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Twelve weeks ago, this date may have been circled on the calendar as a possible Super Bowl preview – not just a rematch from Super Bowl XXXIX, but a standoff of the best teams in each conference. The New England Patriots appear in good position to win their third consecutive AFC East title. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles hold slim hope to simply make the playoffs in the weak NFC East by t...
