Philadelphia Eagles
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...

Nick Sirianni said on Monday he’s not taking the play-calling from Kevin Patullo:
Q. Have you contemplated making a change at the offensive play caller position? And if not, why the confidence in Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo this far into the season? (Dave Zangaro)
Nick Sirianni: No, I haven’t. Again, we are always looking for answers. As coaches, we’re always looking for answers and we’re never into assigning blame. It’s just looking for answers. I think what sometimes can happen is it’s like, ‘It’s just this.’ Well, it’s not just that. It’s every piece of the puzzle;...

Bad loss in Dallas on Sunday.
After choking away a three-touchdown lead, the Birds fell to 8-3 and Cowboys improved to 5-5-1. Now the Eagles are only a -10000 favorite to win the division at BetMGM:
BetMGM can rest easy knowing that the Giants are cooked. The G Men are 2-10 and officially eliminated from playoff contention. Washington is likewise wracked with injuries and their defense...

Assorted trash in these clips. As with most of these fight videos, it’s impossible to tell who started the argument that led to punches being thrown:
Video clip 1: We’ve got two Eagles fans vs. one Cowboys fan outside of the stadium. Never a fair fight, of course, and some absolutely comedic punches thrown, like flailing overhand rights and then a right straight that drops Cowboy fan. The guy filming says “that guy got what he deserved,” talking about the Cowboys fan, so it sure would be nice to go back further and see why they were arguing in the...

He might be done for the year:
Not great.
The NFL Insiders (RapSheet, Garafolo) are reporting that “It will be determined during surgery whether or not there is potential for him to return this season.”
Lost in all the hubbub of a pitiful choke job was the second half departure of Reed Blankenship and Adoree’ Jackson, then Mukuba suffered the injury late. As a result, Kelee Ringo, Michael Carter II, and Sydney Brown came in to play 55 combined snaps while Cooper DeJean moved outside. That wasn’t ideal either, though most guys probably aren’t gonna look great against the version...

Stumbled upon this from @SecondHandFood on Reddit. Jets fans pointed out Xavier Gipson’s ball security issues, but had no idea he had this many during his career:
Xavier Gipson has 38 touches and 12 fumbles in his career (32% fumble rate)
byu/SecondHandFood ineagles
A quick check of our data mostly confirms. It’s 12 fumbles (5 lost) for Gipson in 40 NFL games with the Jets and Eagles. But the touch numbers are wrong. This should be over the course of 38 scrimmage touches, 74 punt returns, and 51 kick returns. So it’s not a 32% fumble rate, because...

The Eagles were penalized 14 times in the putrid, repulsive, abhorrent, atrocity of a choke job against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. It was a smorgasbord of pre-snap, alignment, and live ball errors that acted like a howitzer pointing downward, which is a stupid way of saying they continually shot themselves in the foot. Particularly excruciating was the flag on Matt Pryor that wiped out a big first down gain.
As of Monday morning, the Eagles are now one of the NFL’s worst penalty teams, with:

It feels like it hasn’t been that long since we were punched in the gut by two different Philadelphia sports teams on the same day. On October 9th, the Phillies ended their season in one of the most excruciating ways possible, and the Eagles suffered an embarrassing divisional loss to the Giants.
It happened again, folks. Fast forward a month and a half, and another Philly sports team’s season has ended, and the Eagles suffered not only an embarrassing divisional loss, but one that was equally humiliating, if not more so, at AT&T Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys.

Saquon Barkley had 22 rushing yards in Dallas on Sunday. That’s 2.2 yards per carry on 10 attempts. He caught seven passes for 52 yards and had some nice moments in that phase of the game, but also fumbled when the Eagles were driving in the fourth quarter, and then either slipped and/or couldn’t get the required burst to move the sticks before Jalen Hurts took the sack on 3rd and 2. That play in particular felt like something he would have converted in 2024.
Here are two clips that I think tell the story of what’s going on:

The Eagles lost to the Cowboys. It sucked. They choked away a three touchdown lead when those jokers were dead and buried. Bad loss, bad vibes.
Here’s a list of every mistake and missed opportunity, from penalties to turnovers and poor decision making (in no particular order) –

Well that was gross. They choked away a three-touchdown lead in Dallas after looking like they were gonna run away with it.
The offense looked unstoppable early, then couldn’t do anything at all in the second half. Saquon Barkley fumbled the ball, Xavier Gipson fumbled the ball, Zack Baun dropped an interception, and Jake Elliott missed a long field goal. Throw in one hundred penalties for one hundred million yards (actually 14 for 96), and you have all of the required ingredients for a crap sundae.
Other than that, it was great!
Jokes aside, it’s one of those games that...
