Chip Kelly’s first year at the helm of the Philadelphia Eagles has consisted of a complete organizational overhaul. Typically, upheaval like the Birds have experienced would lower playoff expectations, however, the horrendously non-competitive NFC East gives Eagles fans hope. With three weeks completed in the NFL schedule, it continues to appear that an 8-8 record [...]
Home field advantage is something NFL teams play for all season as they try to solidify their playoff chances. For the Philadelphia Eagles, the playoffs are not really on their radar, and that is partly due to their play at home. For years, the concrete artificial turf, rats, bad plumbing, basement courthouse and raucous crowd [...]
If you were to ask Philadelphia Eagles fans what play in football they enjoy most, many would say the quarterback sack.

Statistically, some would argue that DeSean Jackson had one of his best days as an NFL wide receiver on Sunday.

Playing in his sixth NFL season, the former second-round draft pick will turn 27 years old on Dec. [...]
The real Cary Williams showed up at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field Sunday afternoon, not the imposter who actually played to the lofty expectations that his free agent contract would imply in Week 1 of the NFL schedule. In what may go down as one of the biggest mistakes in the new Howie Roseman Philadelphia Eagles’ [...]
Philip Rivers is certainly no Robert Griffin III. Unlike RG3, the veteran Rivers seemed to have all the answers for the Philadelphia Eagles’ 3-4 hybrid defense on Sunday.
