ESPN Has No Love for the Eagles
Well, judging by their latest power rankings they don’t. They released their latest power rankings, the training camp edition, and they don’t even have the Eagles in the top 15.
To be exact, they placed them at 17 overall. That’s a ten spot drop from the end of last season when ESPN had the Eagles ranked #7 before the offseason started. It’s an even further drop from last years preseason rankings which had them at #4. That means the Eagles got a lot worse in the eyes of the experts. Here’s a breakdown of the rankings.
The top five are the following: Colts, Saints, Vikings, Cowboys & Ravens. Just out of the top five is the Packers, who the Eagles play on opening weekend. Read the rest of this entry »

A Win is a Win
The truth is, a win is a win. Whether it be a sloppy win, a blowout, a close game, whatever. The outcome is the same, a win, and that’s all the Eagles need to focus on.

What I liked in todays game:
I really liked how McCoy continued to run the ball well. He averaged 4.5 yards a carry on 17 touches totaling 76 yards. Read the rest of this entry »
Eagles Preview: Week 9
One of the games Eagles fans circle on the schedule the day it comes out is almost here. The Eagles and the Cowboys play in Philadelphia on Sunday night in a battle for first place in the NFC East. On paper it looks to be a great matchup
Both teams are 5-2 and have been playing well as of late. When you take a look at the statistics, the teams are very close. The Cowboys have a slight lead in offensive numbers (passing, rushing and total yards per game, 3rd down conversion and TOP). The Eagles, however lead in points per game by 29 to 28.1
On the defensive side of the ball, it’s the Eagles with the slight advantage in most categories. They lead in rushing, passing and total yards per game allowed and lead in points allowed by .4. Read the rest of this entry »
