Joe Douglas fired: Jets dismiss former Eagles executive

A past member of Philadelphia’s front office will be looking for a new NFL home.

The New York Jets fired general manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.

This news comes after the Jets fired Robert Saleh last month. Since then, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich has gone 1-5. What a mess that team is.

Douglas was originally hired by the Jets in June 2019. Prior to that, he served as the Philadelphia Eagles’ vice president of player personnel since 2016.

The Eagles hired Douglas to be the top “football guy” to pair...

Jake Paul Has More Wins at Jerry World than the Cowboys

The Cowboys lost again on Monday night, falling 34 to 10 to the Texans. Dallas is now 3-7 overall and 0-5 at home, which means that five NFL teams, two international soccer teams, a college team, and a boxer have more wins at Jerry World during this football season (image from NFL Memes on IG) –

We are laughing! <Ron Burgundy voice> The Cowboys’ last home win was December 30th of 2023, so it’s almost been a full calendar year since Jerry World saw a dub. And with Dak Prescott done for the season, they may not win another...

Inside RB Saquon Barkley’s contract incentives with Eagles - NFL.com
When Saquon Barkley signed with the Eagles, he knew what he was getting — a stellar offensive line, a chance to for a playoff run ... and maybe a vultured touchdown or two. In fact, while Barkley is on his way to a career year, poised to eclipse the 1,312 yards he rushed for in 2022, he “only” has eight TDs — thanks in part to the tush push. Interestingly, as sources explained this week,...

10 takeaways from NFL Week 11

10 takeaways from NFL Week 11

On the Eagles’ Week 12 opponent, NFC playoff picture thoughts, the New York Giants lacking class, and much more.

The Philadelphia Eagles had a chance to enjoy a relaxing weekend of watching football after beating the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Here are some Eagles-focused takeaways from the non-Eagles NFL Week 11 games.

1 - The Eagles’ defense against the Rams’ offense should be a good matchup.

Vic Fangio’s defense has been pretty awesome since the Eagles’ Week 5 bye; his unit has allowed just 11.3 points per game and 190 total yards per game since then.

That defense...

Monday Night Football: Cowboys vs. Texans

Watch MNF live with us!

The final game of Week 11 will be a Monday Night Football contest between the Houston Texans (6-3) on the road against the Dallas Cowboys (3-6).

The Cowboys lead the all-time series between these intra-state teams, 4-2, and they’ve won four of the five most-recent meetings. They last faced off back in 2022, when the Cowboys won in Dallas, 27-23.

For obvious reasons, Eagles fans should be rooting for the Texans in this contest, both for an extra boost in the NFC East rankings, and also because it’s fun to see bad things happen to...

Eagles-Commanders Film Review: This offense feels like it’s on the verge of being special

Eagles-Commanders Film Review: This offense feels like it’s on the verge of being special

Analyzing Philadelphia’s offensive performance from their Week 11 win over Washington.

What a huge win that was for the Philadelphia Eagles. I had a lot of time to get into the Washington Commanders film over the weekend, so I have a lot of takes this week! Let’s go.

Offense

I will immediately get a couple of controversial takes out of the way. I’ve read a lot online, and the consensus appears to be that...

  1. Jalen Hurts was bad in this game.
  2. The running game was excellent, which is why the Eagles won.

I disagree with both points...

You Know the Eagles are Good Again Because All People Can Find to Complain About is the Tush Push

There is nothing more football than 22 gladiators lining up and imposing their will on each other. Don’t tell that to Ben DiNucci:

The “tush push” annoys me

It isn’t football

Of course Ben doesn’t like the Tush Push.

NFL Week 12 odds: Eagles favored in sneaky important road game against Rams

Philadelphia must win in Los Angeles to stay alive for the No. 1 seed.

The Philadelphia Eagles are three-point road favorites in their Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to FanDuel.

This is a sneaky important matchup for the Birds. Losing this one would be a big hit to their chances of catching the Detroit Lions for the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture, as outlined by the great Deniz Selman:

Quinyon Mitchell, Jared McCain, Matvei Michkov All +400 or Lower to Win Respective Rookie of Year Awards

Sometimes it can be hard to appreciate the up-and-coming players in Philadelphia when there’s an intense focus on the city’s stars.

But I think now is the perfect time to appreciate what we have for the future with the three teams currently in action.

Quinyon Mitchell, Jared McCain, and Matvei Michkov are all +400 or lower to win their respective Rookie of the Year awards as of Monday morning.

Mitchell’s rise is the most notable of the three because he wasn’t expected to be at the top of the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation.

Just over the weekend...
