In news that will please tush push haters like Joe Schad and Stan Verrett, the Eagles are 4-10 on their last ten shove efforts.
They’re converting at just 60% on the season, according to the handy tush push tracker:
The Birds were 0-2 in Washington on Saturday night, false starting on both. On the first effort, they delayed in snapping the ball and Fred Johnson jumped. On the second one, they got whistled for moving too early in what looked like a typical snap sequence that other NFL refs have not called.
That being said, they were 1-1 against Vegas,...

The Eagles went down to Landover, Maryland and took care of business Saturday against the Washington Commanders. It may have taken a bit longer than we would have liked for them to get things under control, but we should always enjoy a double-digit win against a division rival, regardless of how lost of a season they’re having.
A big reason to enjoy the win is because it brought some entertainment from the other side, once again. If you were listening to Commanders radio broadcasters Bram Weinstein and London Fletcher (with Logan Paulsen on the sideline), you’d think the Eagles were...

Dan Quinn was asked about Saturday night’s brawl, and the Eagles’ decision to go for 2 while up big at the end of the game:
“I can only answer for my side, what I would do. Buy hey man, (if) that’s how they want to get down, all good. We’ll play them again in 2 weeks.”
The quote doesn’t seem too incendiary when you listen to the audio, but it’s funny because this feels silly with the pretext that Quinn punted on 4th and 6 from close to midfield with more than six minutes left in the game. His team...

One thing you can always count on is a good Eagles/Commies brawl:
Pretty good. It’s especially funny how Mike Sainristil throws a hand to the face, but by the time Steen can retaliate, he’s mobbed by five other guys and Sainristil is standing in the back. I see Jeremy Reaves, Quan Martin, Will Harris, Jonathan Jones, Tyler Owens, and Frankie Luvu in the mix. Nick Bellore and Jacob Martin are in there. Jordan Magee ends up on the ground with Dallas Goedert while Harris loses his helmet. Javon Kinlaw takes a blindside block from Jordan Mailata. It’s absolute madness!
Here’s...

Meantime:
It was fun while it lasted for Dem Boyz. They put together a nice little win streak to get their fans’ hopes up, then they lost to the Lions and Vikings in consecutive weeks to fall back to Earth with a thud. They’re 6-7-1 and play the Chargers, Giants, and Communists, so that feels like 8-8-1 on paper, perhaps, which would be a mediocre .500 season for a mediocre franchise.
It has now been 30 years since the Cowboys last made the NFC Championship Game. It’s the longest title game drought in the entire conference. In fact, Zaire was...

If you’re living under a rock or have blissfully avoided social media recently, it is ALLEGED that Coooop is, uh, “spending time” with Nikki Bella, who used to date John Cena. Do with this information what you will.

For the first time since 2004, the NFC East has a repeat winner.
The Eagles took care of business in the swamp on Saturday evening, defeating the Commies 29-18 to claim the division for a second straight year. The last time that happened, Artis Hicks was playing left guard and Mike Bartrum was the long snapper. Jevon Kearse led the Birds in sacks and Derrick Burgess was lining up on the other side of the defensive front. George W. Bush was president while Usher topped the Billboard charts with Lil Jon and Ludacris.
So it’s been a minute since anybody...

I love Kalshi. You can trade on the dumbest things possible. I can’t wait until they allow us to trade on guys hitting the transfer portal. It would’ve made losing Zion Stanford to Villanova a little less hard to deal with. Anyway, this weekend they’ve given us an early Christmas present and an amazing opportunity to trade on what Joe Davis, Greg Olsen, and Pam Oliver will say on Saturday’s broadcast:
This is what 2025 is all about. Do I think Joe Davis will mention turf when the Commanders play on grass? No! But he could. That’s the thrill!

When the NFL unveiled its 2025 schedule in May, it was difficult to avoid wondering what kind of gauntlet the Eagles would face as they approached the last weeks of the season. After welcoming back to Lincoln Financial Field former coach and new Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, the Birds were scheduled to fly down to D.C. to take on the Commanders and then host their division rival in the final game of the regular season. Sandwiched between those contests with Washington was a clash in Buffalo against Josh Allen and La Salle College High School wrestling legend...

Can we be honest with each other? Last year’s NFC Championship was such a beatdown I forgot this play even happened:
It’s never a good sign when you have to say the fake punt that led to a field goal was one of the most exciting plays for your team in an NFC Championship game that you lost by 32 points.
And listen, I’m not going to shit on the sports guy at WUSA9. The Commies season has gone off the rails and this game doesn’t mean anything for them. His bosses told him he’s gotta find some kind of...

Kevin Patullo was asked on Wednesday about Jalen Hurts playing under center in the Raiders win. Transcribed here by Zach Berman:
“He’s done a really good job. I mean really from when we kind of started doing this early in the season, working through the Vikings game, that was a big step for him. He works extremely hard at it. You can see him even in between periods, in between special teams stuff, whatever he needs to do. He’s working on his footwork, working on the timing. He’s extremely dedicated to make sure he’s always on time and in...

Rumors are flying all over social media that 22-year-old Cooper DeJean is dating 42-year-old WWE Superstar Nikki Bella. Lets look at the evidence starting with this weekend:
Here’s Bella and Coop at Barstool Sansom Street:
Friend, Hollywood connector, and Eagles fan Dave O left a pretty interesting comment:
WWE Superstar Grayson Waller dropped a little nugget about Coop and Bella on a podcast back in September. “I don’t think he was there to see us perform. I think he was there to see Bella in action.”
There are also plenty of pictures of Nikki and Coop at WWE events...
