Eagles

Honorable Mention: San Francisco 49ers

Biggest Disappointment: Philadelphia Eagles

It’s hard to not give this award to the NFL’s version of the Miami Heat. They’d have to go on one helluva run in order to even make their December even remotely interesting. Not saying it’s impossible, but they’re not in great position. Michael Vick has regressed back to his Atlanta days and that defense is all too hit-or-miss. The

Once again, Adam don’t call me “Pac-man” Jones has made the headlines.  And when Mr. Jones makes the headlines, it usually isn’t good news!  Early Wednesday morning, Pac-man allegedly got into a “scuffle” with one of his security guards at a hotel in Dallas (read more here).  The police were called, but no charges were filed.  Is this much ado about nothing…or is Adam facing a possible suspension!

eep pace in such a highly contested division.

  

Washington @ Philadelphia:  The Eagles got off to a great start leading 14-0 early in the contest.  The zebras gave the Birds a gift TD on a DeSean “Fraction” Jackson punt return and Philadelphia was ready to give the KO punch to the ‘Skins.  Washington stuck around with some field goals and took the lead with some nifty running by Portis… and they never looked back!  They ran the ball at will against the Birds and ran out the clock!

           Yesterday, the Eagles lost another heartbreaker to a division foe, the Washington Redskins, 23-17.  The Eagles stand at 2-3 and in 4th (last) place in their division.  They have now lost two division (3 conference) games…and that does not bode well for play-off considerations.  Though it’s still early in the season…the sky may be falling!

           Bill Belichick, Head Coach of the New England Patriots, was accused by Al Davis of “tampering” with Randy Moss prior to their trade a year ago.  The Raiders received a 4th round pick as compensation in the deal.  Davis alleges that the Patriots had a secret workout with Moss prior to the negotiations, which would violate NFL rules.  Bill (here’s a surprise) denies the accusation.

Much has been said and written about Terrell Eldorado Owens…so why should this week be any different?  It shouldn’t!  Mr. Owens had some comments that he made after the Cowboys lost to the Redskins.  He wants the ball more…gee, that’s a surprise?  He wants the offense to go through him…again, I was shocked?  He wants to be involved early and often…okay, now I am just down right astonished?

           This week two head coaches were relieved of their duties…fired!  First, Scott Linehan of the St. Louis Rams, and now, Lane Kiffin of the Oakland Raiders, why?  Jim Haslet replaced Linehan.  What’s the difference, the Rams are horrific!  Kiffin is being replaced with O-line coach, Tom Cable…who?  Yeah, that’s right, I never heard of him either!

Philadelphia @ Chicago:  Wow…Chicago and Kyle Ortin get a win against the Eagles?  Are you kidding me?  Now the Eagles were without Westbrook, but still, the

           The other day, Rashard Mendenhall (Rookie RB for the Pittsburgh Steelers) sent his buddy, Ray Rice (Rookie RB for the Baltimore Ravens) a text message.  So why is that football news?  Because LB Bart Scott of the Ravens made it so!  Mendenhall’s text was only intended for his buddy Ray.  It claimed how great of a day Rashard was going to have against the vaunted Raven’s Defense.  Ray Rice took it upon himself to let his defense know about the text message…Bart Scoot took offense.

           On Saturday night, I relearned a lesson I already knew.  Often times, we need to be reminded of lessons we learned as a child.  When we were children, things were simpler.  We didn’t judge, we just played with everyone…all the other children were our friends.  We learned to judge, as we grew older.  Our teachers always taught us right from wrong…but did we listen?

A few years back at the Vet, I was at an Eagles-Cowboys game and witnessed a grown man spilling a beer over a young boy’s head because he was wearing an Aikman jersey.  That boy was minding his own business…just trying to enjoy his team play.  I have seen people brawl over similar circumstances many times at the Vet.

s @ Green Bay:  I had picked Green Bay because I felt that after the emotional win against the Eagles, the short week, being on the road, and never having won at Lambeau Field, that the ‘Boyz would falter.  I was wrong!  “Boo” for my predictions…”yeah” for my team!

           The NFL, in my opinion, is the best sport in the world.  It is a violent game played by phenomenal athletes, who by the way, get paid handsomely for it.  Every year the NFL Competition Committee comes up with new rules to “improve” the game.  For instance, this year, they got rid of the 5-yard facemask penalty.  Now it’s either a 15-yard personal foul, or incidental contact and no penalty…what genius came up with that one?

So, you may ask, what does this have to do with football…everything!  When the Eagles acquired Terrell Eldorado Owens, they loved him.  They chanted, T.O., T.O., T.O., T.O., T.O., T.O.!!!  Everyone in Philly was going crazy over this guy.  Then he got the boot, and he signed with the Cowboys.  He clashed with Parcells…but under Wade Phillips, he has really become a vocal leader on his team.  He has even taken the younger receivers under his wing and has spent extra time showing them the ropes.  He has become a model teammate in Dallas…so, why the change in Terrell?

on you didn’t see it…shame on you!  The Dallas Cowboys outlasted the Philadelphia Eagles 41-37.  This game had everything imaginable.  The offenses were unstoppable, yet the defenses made plays when needed.  This game defined the season for both teams.  The Cowboys thought they were good, now they know that they are, and it could turn out to be a magical season.  The

 Who would have guess that the Eagles are apparently interested in acquiring an offensive lineman?  if you can't detect my sarcasm then you are either dense or simply not paying attention.  Although it may be the best thing for the team, I think I speak for all

The Eagles front office can no longer afford to be patient.  The Assante Samuel signing was great and he should make a great addition to our team.  However, we paid an inflated price and he doesn't exactly help us on the offensive side of the ball.  The NFC East has quickly become the toughest division in the entire NFL and the

Eagles sign DE Clemons for 5-years

The Eagles have signed free-agent defensive end Chris Clemons.

Philadelphia agreed on a five-year contract on Saturday with Clemons, who had eight sacks in a reserve role with Oakland last season.
