Listen, if someone in this city wants to tackle traffic down at the Sports Complex, I’m all ears. Other than flying cars or building an entirely new extension of 95 that is only open for people going in and out of the stadiums, I don’t think it’s necessarily attainable without four different teams, 15 different organizations, and local government on board, and when will that ever happen?

Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia – step right up! Lets hear what you have for us in a weekend story from Ariana Perez-Castells at the Inquirer:

Christopher Franklin, who is also...

Eagles EDGE Za’Darius Smith just up and announced that he’s done:

No explanation, just done? We hardly knew him. Only got five games out of him. He had a sack and a half and 10 tackles to go along with three QB hits.

Honestly kind of a big blow for the Eagles considering the Nolan Smith injury and how thin they were at EDGE to begin the year. Smith only played 17 snaps against the Giants and was 5th on the list behind Jalyx Hunt, Azeez Ojulari, Josh Uche, and even Patrick Johnson. He played 34 snaps against the...

As we diagnose the Eagles’ woes and sift through the data, a couple of numbers that jump off the page and slap you across the face ahead of Sunday’s game in Minnesota:

3 and out percentage

• Eagles: 34.9% (2nd worst)
• Vikings: 35.1% (worst)

3rd down conversion rate

• Eagles: 34.7% (6th worst)
• Vikings: 31% (third worst)

So expect a lot of punting inside of U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon, beginning at 1 p.m. The teams have combined for 54 punts through 11 games, not coincidentally because J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Jalen Hurts have been sacked...

We’ve got all week to rip the Eagles for their heartless, gutless, spineless performance in North Jersey a few days ago, but first, let’s take a look at one of the worst sequences currently happening in the NFL:

On one hand, you have a QB putting his head down and fighting for every yard. He’s right at the first down marker and trying to pick up a fresh set of downs. It’s a ballsy effort play from the rookie.

On the other hand, this is a 15-yard penalty for leading with the helmet, a point of emphasis rule change several...

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...
