Two comeback wins in a row? What in the Sam Hill is going on here? Sadly, the Eagles wouldn’t have needed a fourth quarter rally if they took care of business in the red zone. Oh well. Such is life for the 2009 Birds. Here’s what caught the attention of the Eagle Eye:

I’m sure this [...]

Penalties. Red zone failures. Short-yardage struggles. Dropped passes. Missed tackles. Awful third down offense and defense. Botched special teams. No pass rush besides Trent Cole. A lack of emotion. Severely outcoached. Do these things sound familiar?
Of course they do. That’s how our beloved Eagles have played all season long. However, today they managed to eke [...]

The Redskins are beat up. Probably more than the Eagles. DeAngelo Hall is out and Albert Haynesworth will be a game-time decision. Rock Cartwright, not Portis or Betts, will be the starting tailback. Chris Cooley is still sidelined.
This game sets up nicely for the Birds. But we better get used to winning ugly, because that’s [...]

… the Eagles lost to the effing Raiders!! Did you watch the Cowboys game yesterday? The silver and black are beyond pathetic. Any team that loses to them doesn’t deserve to make the playoffs.
And don’t bring up the Bengals, either. They are the Bengals. I don’t care what their record is, they still suck. I [...]

Lucky for me, nobody has discovered the bug my ITI spies planted in Andy Reid’s office, because I find the weekly sitdowns between Big Red and Don fascinating. I had no idea how much control the coach and quarterback had over what happens on and off the field.
Here’s a look at yesterday’s confab:
Reid and McNabb [...]

Perusing the slate of games this past Sunday, I noticed a couple of former Eagles’ draft picks kicking a little ass on other teams. I’m always intrigued what original draftees do when/if they catch on elsewhere.
I consider the Birds to have one of the better scouting departments, so if a player they released makes something [...]

Justice has been served! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. The Eagles did right by Winston Justice today and awarded him a four-year contract extension.
Justice has been perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2009 season. Many, myself included, assumed he’d be lucky to make the final roster entering training camp. Once Shawn Andrews‘ back flared up, the [...]

Awarding cheesesteaks after a victory feels ten times better than after a loss. There are so many more candidates to choose from. While Sunday night’s win was far from perfect, it was easy to single out those deserving of a savory steak sandwich slathered with cheese and onions.
So, who gets the nod? I went back [...]
