We were probably thinking the same thing when the Eagles were getting pummeled at half time on Sunday afternoon. Philly sports talk was going to be insufferable this week. Social media, sports talk radio, your idiot buddy at the water cooler, whatever. We were going to hear calls for Kevin Patullo to be fired, maybe the Eagles should trade A.J. Brown, and Jalen Hurts can’t read zone coverage. It would be a playing of 2023’s best-selling album, NOW That’s What I Call Negadelphia, Volume 37.

Instead, we received a Christmas miracle, three months early. Not only did the Eagles pull...

This was pretty cool:

Likeable team. Good dudes who generally seem to enjoy each other, and playing together. Not only did we get an Eagles win, to improve to 3-0, but they unlocked the passing offense after looking like the Stan Drayton-era Temple Owls in the first half. It felt like one of those games where they were just gonna take a thumping, figure it out in during the week, and then get everything sorted, but they sort it out in real time and scored 26 unanswered points to beat a good team at home.

The post [Jalen Hurts Dropped...

So many good Thicc Six reactions out there. This one is near the top:

Gotta laugh at the leaning motion that he makes when the ball is snapped. We used to do that when we played video games, thinking that if we moved just a little, the character would also move. Or you tilt the controller a certain way, thinking it’s gonna give you some extra oomph. Then Howie does five jumps followed by at least three hard air punches before he punches his way off screen.

It has to be pretty cool to think that you drafted this guy...

WHAT A WIN! The Eagles’ come-from-behind victory over the Rams is going to feed us for at least a week, and so are these calls of the game-ending field goal block and Jordan Davis touchdown.

Go Birds.

The post Spectacular Merrill Reese and Rickie Ricardo Calls on the Eagles’ Walk-Off Field Goal Block appeared first on Crossing Broad.

This is pretty funny. Jordan Davis was hauling on the walk-off Thicc Six:

Isn’t it funny how foreshadowing works? A portent, perhaps, when the beats were talking about Davis’ weight loss and how he was in much better shape this offseason. It manifested twice in this game, first the DT chasing down Matt Stafford on a 3rd down stop, then ending the game on a blocked field goal that he took to the house for good measure.

This is a guy who dropped 26 pounds in the offseason and got himself down to 330. Pretty incredible to see the transformation....

Alright I’m gonna be honest with you, I wrote this intro and headline three different times. The original title of the article was “Ass,” when the Birds couldn’t pick up a first down and looked like the Bad News Bears in the first half. Then the second title was “The Good News and the Bad News,” predicting a walk-off field goal loss despite the offense figuring things out in the second half, and reviving the passing game in the process.

And after all of that, we settled with 26 UNANSWERED POINTS as the Eagles miraculously clawed their way back to...

Adam Schefter reports that the Tush Push might not be going anywhere this offseason via ESPN.com:

Despite the anger about another year of the tush push and the debate it already has sparked this season, the controversial play might not be going anywhere.

League sources told ESPN that there are no assurances that the tush push issue will be brought up for conversation or a vote by the NFL this offseason.

One source told ESPN that, after the hotly contested conversation the play raised last offseason and the emotions it aroused, he believes the issue...

The Philadelphia Eagles have found their defensive anchor in Jordan Davis, whose dominant early-season performance has propelled the team to a 2-0 start.

Davis has emerged as one of the NFL’s most impactful interior defenders through two weeks, transforming Philadelphia’s defensive front into a game-changing unit.

His improved conditioning and explosive athleticism have created matchup nightmares for opposing offenses while establishing him as the centerpiece of coordinator Vic Fangio’s aggressive scheme.

The Score’s Brenden Deeg highlighted Davis’s impressive statistical start in his recent analysis.

“Jordan Davis through 2 games: 11 tackles (2nd in NFL among DTs), 14 run stop...

Meantime, ahead of Sunday’s game:

@rams okay but who has the right answer?? #Wawa #LARams #NFL #Philadelphia @Puka @Kobie Turner ♬ original sound – Los Angeles Rams

Wawa got more respect from Kobie Turner and the LA Rams than it gets from local ingrates, like Russell Joy. Watch that again and listen to all of the praise that was dished out. Wawa has free air and smoothies and eats. Good tea and lemonade. It’s an east coast staple. It’s “the best gas station in the south,” which...

A battle of unbeatens with recent postseason history, it’s the LA Rams returning to Philly for a Week 3 clash with the Super Bowl champion Eagles. This is a matchup of differing offensive philosophies, fought between teams that duked it out in the snow just nine months ago at Lincoln Financial Field. Both teams enter with 2-0 records, but they’ve arrived there in vastly different ways.

For the Birds, the formula has been a punishing ground attack and suffocating defense. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been unspectacular through the air, but ruthlessly efficient, completing 75.6% of his passes for 253 yards...

It’s been quite the last couple of weeks for your WIP Uncle. That Facebook app has been staring at him like the Green Goblin mask. He’s been attached to the screen more than Brian Johnson in 2023. Between defending the Tush Push, reading every conspiracy theory surrounding Charlie Kirk, and raging against Jimmy Kimmel, he now has Joe Buck defending the Eagles and the shove. His processor must sound like an overheated laptop:

JOE BUCK!?! DEFENDING THE EAGLES?!?! IN THIS ECONOMY?!?!

Growing up in my house it went Joe Buck, the Cowboys, Al Qaeda in that order. Now our most...

God Dean Blandino is so smug:

I’ll respond to every one of his claims.

Health and safety remains the funniest argument from detractors, especially because they always preface it with, “Well I know the data doesn’t say it’s there, but…“. If Blandino wants to get ahead of an injury we should stop allowing players to sack the QB. Joe Burrow’s out with turf toe for potentially the entire season. Football is a rough game. There will be injuries when giant specimens are crashing into each other 100 times a game. If you want to get ahead of injuries, shut the...
