The Philadelphia Eagles hadn’t looked as dominant in the first month of the season, but they were undefeated.

Now, they’ve lost their last two games.

More than that, their offense doesn’t look explosive at all, with new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo calling the most predictable running game we’ve seen in years.

To add insult to injury, Jalen Hurts has been either unable or unwilling to feed A.J. Brown, with the former Tennessee Titans star getting mostly scripted touches.

That’s why, after watching his careless attitude and his detachment from the rest of the team, it looks like he could be...

Here’s A.J. Brown clarifying his answer from Thursday night, when he was asked about a meeting between him, Jalen Hurts, and Saquon Barkley, which was first reported by Jimmy Kempski:

Here’s the question from last night:

When Saquon Barkley was asked about it he wouldn’t give details only to confirm there was a meeting:

I don’t even know what to say at this point. The most boring soap opera in the world is in the Eagles locker room. We’re not even getting any juicy details. It’s all closed door meetings, speculation about Brown’s happiness, and canned quotes from Hurts. Which...

This sign pissed me off. I shouldn’t let a sign piss me off, but this sign pissed me off. As the great Silky Johnson once said, “I hope all bad things in life happen to you and nobody else but you.” –

I know I’m better than all of those mongrels inside that tin can. I’m a Super Bowl Champion. Two in the last seven years if you’re counting at home while they’ve resided at the bottom of the NFC East and NFL for over a decade. Not once in my life have the Eagles been through a decade of...

We’ve seen a lot of losses in Philadelphia sports, so we’re well aware that they come in various shapes and sizes.

Case in point, Thursday night, when the Phillies and Flyers battled hard in their respective road games against the defending MLB and NHL champions. The Phils went to extra innings with the Dodgers before finally succumbing and the Flyers fell by a goal in Sunrise, which is nothing to be bummed about in a rebuilding year.

The pitiful Eagles, however, no-showed against the 1-4 Giants, the lowlight perhaps being this defensive “effort” by Adoree Jackson:

It was hideous all...

Oh, what a night,

early October in ‘25

what a very dismal time for me,

as I remember, what a night

Feels like it’s been a while since we’ve had our psyches tested as Philly sports fans. The Eagles won the Super Bowl by destroying a team looking for a three-peat just eight months ago. The Phillies had their best team on paper since 2011. The Union are the No. 1 seed heading into the playoffs after a dominating year on the pitch. The Flyers are finally building a foundation where they won’t be in salary cap hell for years...

That sucked almost as much as the Phillies loss. The Eagles got worked by a rookie QB and RB on a short week. The defense was trash, the offense was trash, and special teams was trash.

Other than that, it was a great performance!

Here are some observations. I’m just gonna publish with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, because whatever.

1) Jalen Carter was held out because of a heel injury. That is what it is, but here’s the infuriating part:

Bad stadium. If your surface factors into whether or not iffy players are going to give...

The Philadelphia Eagles opened their 2025 season with a 4-0 record following last year’s Super Bowl victory, though each win came closer than anticipated.

Their winning streak appeared difficult to maintain, making the Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos less shocking than it might have seemed.

As Philadelphia prepares for Thursday’s Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants, the team has seen positive developments on both the injury front and roster management.

Running back Saquon Barkley, who appeared on the injury report earlier this week, has been fully cleared and will suit up against his former team.

The...

Thomas Petersen, the Danish guy who posts about the Eagles all the time, ripped off a graph made by Deniz Selman, who is a PHLY contributor:

This background is that this Petersen guy is an Eagles diehard who does YouTube breakdown videos and tweets observations and other such things. Basically an Eagles nut with 53,000 followers, but he’s not from here and I don’t think anyone has actually ever met him in person. He’s had issues in the past with non-citation, and was once a serial training camp offender, [taking observations from the in-attendance beat writers, compiling them, and then...

We were treated to a ref show on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field, with a slew of fugazi sequences involving Adrian Hill and his zebra cohorts. Among the annoyances was an intentional grounding flag that was picked up with no explanation, leading to confusion at home, in the stands, and on the game broadcast as well (first video clip, ignore the second) –

Situationally, it was 2nd and 6 with the Eagles down one and trying to force a punt. The grounding call would have set up third and very long and likely given the Eagles the ball back....

This guy at the end of my video is my spirit animal. Yesterday sucked, but if the Phillies win tonight, “rat’s ass it don’t matter” –

Listen, are there legitimate concerns with the Eagles? Absolutely. The offense sucks dick and we’re getting whiffs of 2023, where it feels like the locker room hates each other and guys can’t even celebrate when they win. But at the end of the day if this loss wakes up the team in the end we’ll look back on October 5th and think it was a good loss.

Saquon mentioned it Sunday night in the...

EJ Smith at PHLY pulled the all-22 video of the missed deep shot to A.J. Brown on Sunday afternoon, and it looks just as ugly as we thought it would:

After the game, Brown said this to reporters:

“From my point of view, it was just a miss, you know? …it’s not that I didn’t think the ball was coming, I looked up and didn’t see the ball. I looked back and didn’t see the ball. And then the ball was thrown, so like I said I think we just missed.”

Not sure if you’re seeing what I’m seeing,...

Yeah yeah I know, don’t blame the refs and all of that. But from the department of more than one thing can be true, the Eagles choked AND the refs turned that game into a clown show in the fourth quarter:

It would have given the Birds a red zone shot with 3 seconds left. Not that they deserved to win, but the zebras turned in a farcical fourth quarter.
