Eagles – 49ers: If at first you don’t succeed, lose, lose again
Posted on 3 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
At some point, certain realities have to be faced. Good football teams beat the teams they are supposed to beat. Successful football teams score touchdowns not field goals. Playoff football teams do not allow themselves to be beaten and can be physically dominant when the need arises. Championship teams adjust quickly to schemes of their opponents so as to not be exploited by their weaknesses. ...

NY Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Blood Makes the Grass Grow – Kill, Kill, Kill!
Posted on 22 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
This week is the Eagles home opener. They debut at Lincoln Financial Field after two straight road dome games with outcomes that were decidedly diametrically opposite (and not at all the same). Whenever the Eagles and Giants face off, the game has meaning – usually like a well-funded, surprisingly organized, public paying for tickets, each team wearing uniforms type of street brawl. While t...

Philadelphia Eagles: Covering the Tight End and Stopping the Run
Posted on 21 Sep 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
In two games thus far, it's evident that when attacking the Eagles defense, the opposing offenses are going to stay away from the perimeter where cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha, Asante Samuel and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie lurk. Instead, the opposition has attacked the linebackers and safeties through the air with the tight end and crossing routes over the middle with the wide receivers. Billy Ba...

Black Hole Bowl: Fourth Preseason Game (is for the Birds)
Posted on 1 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Even the most ardent football fan cannot disparage the relative inconsequence of the fourth and final preseason game. It is not as bad as it used to be when there were SIX preseason games (the Vet was very close to the Walt Whitman Bridge) but sports fans may be better served witnessing the Phillies notch another win (85 and counting) to go 40 games over .500 on September 1. The fourth NFL pre...

Eagles vs. Browns: What to Watch
Posted on 25 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Back to football is the slogan. Whether you care or not, we are two weeks into the NFL pre-season with two more games left to go. The games themselves are relatively meaningless but they do help determine roster decisions. This season in particular, these games serve as extended Training Camps or scrimmages for coaches to see their players in action. That in and of itself serves some useful pur...

Not Their Best Effort… It’s Only Preseason
Posted on 19 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Wake up Eagles fans because we’re not in the Super Bowl just yet. There is a moratorium on using a certain phrase that rhymes with “Ream Team” in regard to the 2011 Eagles. While we all know that preseason games don’t really matter, they do tell us a lot about the players who will make this team. If the lockout offers us nothing else, it caused the NFL to dispense with OTA and involunta...

Eagles Undrafted Free “Urgents” Cause Questions
Posted on 26 Jul 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Is it obsession with the NFL, the compressed free agent frenzy with the end of the lockout or “FREE URGENCY“? Wasting no time whatsoever, the Eagles have opened their new football year by confirming the signing of eight undrafted rookie free agents, with more promised. That group is WR Perry Baker, WR DeAndre Brown, RB Graig Cooper, P Chas Henry, QB Jerrod Johnson, DE Ced Thornton, ...

What’s Next for Eagles? Playoffs? Favre?
Posted on 23 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Vick voted NFL Player of the Week for third time Last week's New Miracle in the New Meadowlands was incredible. In the NFL, you are only as good as your next game. So, while Eagles fans have been celebrating and dancing in the streets or thumping their chests screaming “We're Number One”, Eagles coaches have been devising a game plan for the Minnesota Vikings. The Las Vegas oddmaker...

New Miracle New Meadowlands
Posted on 19 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Giants punter Matt Dodge bore the brunt of the blame but the Giants allowed 28 unanswered points in the fourth quarter Last week I referenced the 1978 Miracle in the Meadowlands (as well as the 1989 Clyde Simmons game), marketing this Eagles-Giants grudge match as ” Mêlée in the Meadowlands ” (now of course in New Meadowlands Stadium) but I had no idea my turn of ...

Eagles LB Merry Go Round
Posted on 3 Aug 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Omar Gaither knows the way things work with the Eagles' linebackers. His next opportunity could come any day. For Akeem Jordan, that day was Sunday. Week 1 Starting LBs Under Reid: 1999: James Darling-Jeremiah Trotter-William Thomas 2000: Mike Caldwell-Jeremiah Trotter-Carlos Emmons 2001: Mike Caldwell-Jeremiah Trotter-Carlos Emmons (whoa, no change!) 2002: Shawn Barber-Levon Kirkland-Carlos Em...
