A little over a week ago, I wrote an article pointing out issues in the Eagles’ win over the Texans. The responses to that article were, to summarize, negative. They weren’t negative towards the team, however–they were negative towards the points I was making. The Eagles were 8-0, how could someone say that the team had issues? Well tonight, Eagles vs Commanders happened, and the blatantly apparent issues reared their ugly heads in one disgusting excuse of a game. Now before you move on, read this warning: I’m going to come off as very biased and very angry in this…

Nine weeks into the 2022 NFL season, it’s time to give an initial review of the Eagles’ rookies. Philadelphia ended the draft only making five picks (plus a trade for star receiver AJ Brown), making each selection mean just a little bit more. In this article, we’ll ignore UDFAs as only one has seen the field (Britain Covey at kick returner). With that, let’s not waste any more time–here is the midseason review of the Eagles’ rookies. Reviewing the Eagles’ Rookies Jordan Davis (DT), 13th Overall Pick Davis came to Philadelphia with a historic combination of size and athleticism, traits…

We’ve officially reached the halfway point in the NFL’s regular season, so now feels like a great time to rank the top 5 offensive rookies thus far. Obviously, there is still time for this list to change–as I previously mentioned, the season is only halfway over–but with many rookies off to hot starts, there’s more than enough material to talk about. For this exercise, we’ll ignore injuries and focus on each player’s impact while they were on the field (there’s some foreshadowing for you all). Without further ado, here are the top 5 offensive rookies of 2022 (so far) from…

Two facts can be claimed about the Eagles through their first eight games. First, the team is 8-0. Despite some inconsistent play, the team has found ways to win and is seated in first place in the NFC. The Eagles’ schedule is filled with talented teams and potential trap games, yet still, they’ve shown that their talent-heavy roster is more than just visually pleasing. However, the second fact is that the Eagles haven’t played the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City Chiefs. Through eight weeks, those two teams are alone with Philadelphia in the league’s upper echelon. Many teams have faced…

Hello all. Your resident pessimistic Eagles fan here (I prefer the term realistic but hey, beggars can’t be choosers). For those who don’t know, the Eagles beat the Texans on Thursday night, so let’s discuss what just went down. As to save myself from some undo hate, I’ll start off with a positive: the Eagles are 8-0 for the first time in franchise history. That’s a pretty cool stat. What else is cool? Jalen Hurts has now extended his franchise best regular season win streak to 11 games. There you go, two major accomplishments in what’s been an impressive start…

The Eagles have the best cornerback duo in football. Man, that feels weird to say. Darius Slay and James Bradberry have both been playing at incredibly high levels in 2022, which has been key to the Eagles’ 6-0 start. For Eagles’ fans, this is unfamiliar territory. Cornerback play has been a consistent issue for the birds throughout most of the 2010’s. From Sidney Jones to Nnamdi Asomugha, Philadelphia has shot and missed on corner after corner, struggling to find the tandem to do the job. However, the acquisition of Darius Slay in 2020 set the team in the right direction.…

We are a quarter-way through the 2022 NFL season, so now feels like a great time to review the Eagles season up to this point. If you haven’t been paying attention, Philadelphia is currently the NFL’s only undefeated team at 5-0. The season hasn’t been without its lumps, but the Eagles have played winning football. Below, we’ll be reviewing the Eagles’ season thus far, the team MVP, and what to look forward to down the line. Season So Far When the Eagles’ 2021 season ended, much was unknown. What did the Eagles have in Jalen Hurts? Would the team ever…
