Sunday’s 19-16 loss to the Bears is a signpost along the road of a long season.  It shows the way to the playoff exits for optimistic fans, me included.  I have been maintaining a positive point of view despite the early avalanche of misadventures on offense.  My outlook had been that as McNabb improves, so […]

Jon Runyan did not participate in practice on Friday.

“It’s frustrating, as you’re getting into the tub to kind of take care of your body, you end up hurting yourself,” he said.

“It’s not going to be fun, but we’ll get it done,” Runyan said.
LJ Smith did not practice, but BDawk is listed as having full participation. […]

The Bears offense is 10th in passing and 14th in rushing in the NFC. They score 19.7 a game and that puts them below the middle of the pack, at 10th in the conference. The Eagles by contrast score 20 per and are firmly in the middle at 8th. Of course that number […]

“Bullet has been here just as long as […]

This Was a Good Win

The Eagles have moved into opponents’ red zones 16 times through five games, […]

If the Eagles had scored 1 touchdown on their trips into the red zone, they would have gone a long way to making me feel good about Sunday’s win over the Jets.  As it was, the winds made Akers field goal attempts hairy, and that left the game in jeopardy when it would have otherwise […]

The Eagles defense has been the steadying element of this turbulent season. On Sunday afternoon, in the Meadowlands against the Jets, the offense followed up its horrid display on the same field 2 weeks earlier against the Giants, with its second winning performance of the year. That performance was made a winner by another strong […]

Ray Didinger is my go to guy for Eagles analysis. I have been wrong in 3 of the 4 weeks of this season. I expect the Birds to get it right this week. The Jets are not very good. I think the Eagles win easily, but more importantly, Ray thinks they […]
