We’re assuming this is a father/son duo. It could be a son/uncle or just a random kid with a random older Eagles fan next to him, but it’s a formative moment nonetheless:
It’s a very proud moment! Even emotional. Look how he puts his arms around him.
The adult gentleman on the right definitely sat in the 700 level at Veterans Stadium back in the day. He looks like a guy who has seen some shit. Now this young man next to him has completed a rite of passage, if you think about it. You don’t become a true Eagles...

Laughable no call at the start of the fourth quarter with the Eagles trailing the Bears 17-9:
Don’t overthink this. It doesn’t matter if Jalen Hurts underthrew it or not. There’s a play to be made on the ball and the Chicago linebacker isn’t looking at it. He doesn’t even begin turning his head until the ball hits his left arm. You watched it live. You saw him clatter right into Smitty. It’s a straightforward flag and it should have been thrown. Even the rules expert on the broadcast, Terry McAulay, questioned the decision not to throw the flag.

Twice this season the Philadelphia Eagles have played on a short week after a choke job, and twice they’ve been handled in games that weren’t particularly competitive.
The only reason this one was remotely close was because Ben Johnson inexplicably decided to stop running the football. Then the light bulb clicked on and he went back to the ground game after Jalen Hurts fumbled in the red zone. If he had never gone away from D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monongai in the first place, it would have been curtains in the third quarter.
Meantime, Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo’s offense...

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to wash a bad taste out of their mouth after squandering a 21-0 lead to lose to the Dallas Cowboys last week, which brought a four-game winning streak to an end. Philly has a tough matchup with the 8-3 Chicago Bears on Black Friday in a potential playoff preview and is looking to move on from the Cowboys’ letdown.
To make matters worse, last week, rookie second-round safety Andrew Mukuba suffered a broken ankle against Dallas and was placed on injured reserve shortly after the game. There is no timetable for his return, but the...
It was nice being allied with the Chicago Bears for a little bit. They scratched our back and we scratched theirs. It was a valuable friendship on both ends of the spectrum:
That alliance ends Friday:
Thanks for the memories, but this is a must-win to right the ship. I know the Bears are 8-3, but I’m going to need a blowout. Their defense stinks and I’m not to sure the Bears are really all that good even though they sit in first place in the NFC North. I hate to trash a friend, but those are facts. You can’t...

I call bullshit on this:
“We’re in good shape,” but CeeDee Lamb signed a four-year contract for $136 million and Pickens, a free agent this summer, has been the better of the two and it’s not particularly close. CeeDee missed three games through injury but when you look at touchdowns, yards per game, drops, and other stats that can easily be extrapolated, Pickens looks like WR1a and Lamb looks like WR1b.
Consider this:
CeeDee is the third-highest paid receiver in the league. Total value, AAV, and guaranteed dollars. The only guys earning more than Lamb are Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr...

There’s been a lot of chatter this week following postgame comments from Landon Dickerson in Dallas. The Eagles guard suggested that they weren’t totally prepared for 5-man defensive fronts. That raised some eyebrows from the film guys, because it’s something Dallas has been doing much more of since they traded for Quinnen Williams. It was noticeable on tape from the Raiders game and makes a lot of sense based on how their defensive personnel shakes out.
Dickerson clarified what he meant Monday night on WIP:
“I was not insinuating that the coaches did not prepare us for this game....

Who has it worse than Philadelphia sports fans? Our 8-3 football team has vibes lower than a 5-5-1 team. Our baseball team underachieved again. Our soccer team overachieved and then ripped the rug out from under us in classic Union fashion. Our basketball team is rebuilding while in the middle of some insane contracts. Our hockey team plays from October through April, and that’s it.
Temple Football has collapsed. The Big 5 doesn’t excite anyone anymore. Where is the Philadelphia Soul when you need them?
But today, we’re going to forget all that… at least we’re going to try. We’re...

The Philadelphia Eagles are trying to recover after their Week 12 collapse against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles held a commanding lead before surrendering 24 unanswered points in a defeat that exposed unexpected vulnerabilities.
Questions about their offensive identity have emerged as the season progresses. Entering their Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears, analyst Cris Collinsworth revealed a big concern about the Eagles.
“I think, to some extent, they haven’t completely opened up that offense,” Collinsworth said.

lmao we are so back:
That’s John McMullen of JAKIB telling somebody to shut up. I can’t tell who it is, but I THINK it’s Reuben Frank. Not 100% so don’t quote me on that. But whomever it was, they were annoyed that McMullen didn’t let Fangio “finish the question.”
The exchange:
Reporter: What led to – the D had the interception overturned by too many man on the field…
Fangio: Yeah, they subbed, which allows us to sub, and gave us time to sub. The umpire was actually going up to the line of scrimmage to...

The Philadelphia Eagles just lost a game they would’ve won more often than not. They gave up 24 unanswered points after leading 21-0 to drop a divisional contest against the Dallas Cowboys.
Notably, the Cowboys have one of the best offenses in the game, so even despite the turnovers, they were always a threat to put up points on the scoreboard. That’s why the Eagles needed to do a better job of running out the clock.
That wasn’t the case, and Saquon Barkley only had 10 carries for 22 yards. It was probably his worst game with the Eagles –...
Shane Gillis will be performing at the Linc on July 17th:
This is crazy. I knew Shane Gillis was huge, but I didn’t know he was The Linc huge. The only other comedian to ever perform there is Kevin Hart back in 2015. The thing about Hart at the time was he had three killer specials on Netflix, he was everywhere hanging out with Shaq and LeBron, and starring in Hollywood feature films. Gillis, on the other hand, has his podcast, Tires sitcom, and makes the occasional appearance on SNL. We haven’t gotten a special from him since 2023. He...
