Let’s talk about this tweet that made the rounds earlier in the week:

I would disagree on the face-value understanding that Philadelphia fans and media are equal-opportunity haters and always have been. Carson Wentz was the whitest individual you can possibly be (a hunter from North Dakota) and white Eagles fans absolutely destroyed the guy between 2019 and 2021, calling him “zit neck” and a loser and annihilating him at every turn. He did have his defenders, like any quarterback does, but when Indianapolis finally came calling via trade, you had people climbing over each other to drive him to...

We wrote about this cringey interaction between an Eagles fan and A.J. Brown as he was bringing a child some hot chocolate on Sunday. Somehow the Hard Knocks angle is even more cringey:

“AJ sign this (his?) card?After the game come sign this (his?) card!”

Not a please or a thank you in sight. Just a grown-ass man begging another grown-ass man to sign a piece of cardboard. I called this perfectly. I knew the interaction would make my skin crawl and that’s why the Eagles’ social team added an audio layer over the original clip:

Is it really...

This is really good:

*“Cities that really have substance to them and true fan bases, and love for their city and the game.. And going to Philly you can feel that energy when you go there. There was people everywhere downtown. We stayed right downtown in the thick of it. You know how Philly is. They’re rowdy, they are crazy, flipping you off (in the buses)… they didn’t give a damn about anything. Then we pull up driving up to the stadium, I low key never do this, but I was driving into Philly, and this is first time I’ve...

If you listened to the noise after the NFL released every team’s 2025 schedule back in the spring, you’d probably be hard pressed to find anyone who didn’t think the Eagles had one of the tougher slates.

In fact, the Eagles headed into the season with the fourth-toughest schedule in football, facing teams that had a combined record of 162-127 in 2024, a .561 winning percentage. The Eagles, along with the Lions, led the league with 11 playoff teams from 2024 on the schedule this year while the Giants were actually the team with the toughest schedule (166-123, .574 winning...

The best time to play the fastest game the NFL has seen in the last 32 years is when it feels like 10° in the stadium, and the Eagles and Raiders did just that according to John Breech at CBSSports.com:

The Eagles destroyed the Raiders, 31-0, in a game that took just two hours and 31 minutes, which made it the shortest game of the century. Since 2000, there have only been two other games that even clocked in at under two hours and 35 minutes. The last one came in 2008 when the Titans beat the Colts in...

This was a funny clip from after Sunday’s game in the Eagles locker room:

The Eagles play Saturday vs. the Commies. That will now have them playing on five out of the seven days of the week this season. They started the year on Thursday night and faced off against the Giants on TNF later in the year. They played the Chicago Bears on Black Friday. They played primarily Sundays of course, and the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Chargers on Monday. The Eagles will not have to suit up on a Tuesday or Wednesday barring a catastrophic weather-related...

Something sensible coming out of Washington for once* –

Daniels has been beat up all year long. He’ll finish his sophomore season with seven games played after they put him out there in Minnesota last weekend. That was coming off the knee sprain, hamstring strain, AND dislocated left elbow and there wasn’t anything to play for at that point anyway, so now he’s finally been put on ice as the Commies send Marcus Mariota out there to play the Eagles on Saturday night.

Mariota this season has been better than what Kenny Pickett showed on Sunday. It is certainly ironic...

Nice video from the Eagles social team of A.J. Brown grabbing some hot chocolate for a kid during a live action ass-whooping on a 10° Sunday:

That’s a solid video that should bring Eagles fans some holiday cheer, but all I can see is a grown man losing his mind and shaking a Sharpie in Brown’s face:

Listen, I’m not a parent so I’m not going to tell anyone how they should react to their son(?) experiencing a core memory with one of the greatest Eagles of all-time, but then again: Grow up, dude. What’re we doing here? Is it...

Eagles fans react to the Birds shutting out the Raiders 31-zip. The first shutout since 2018:

Maybe I’m just the Positivity Bunny on a Monday, but I hate the, “It’s just the Raiders” shit everyone in the fanbase and beyond is spewing. This was a classic get-right game. A shutout in the NFL is a shutout. It was 31-zip with both sides of the ball HUMMING. That’s exactly what I needed to see from this team. It’s like we can talk all week about how bad Jalen Hurts was against the Chargers, but when he plays well it’s just...

The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t put up much of a fight on Sunday afternoon, nor did they put up any points, 0 in total.

But on the offensive side of the ball, the Eagles converted 10 of 13 third downs while finding themselves in the following situations:

• 3rd and 3
• 3rd and 4
• 3rd and 1
• 3rd and 6
• 3rd and 6
• 3rd and goal (from the 4)
• 3rd and 6
• 3rd and 3
• 3rd and 8
• 3rd and 2 (then penalty to make it 3rd and 12)
• 3rd...

The Cowboys lost at home to J.J. McCarthy and the 5-8 Vikings:

That means the Eagles’ magic number to win the NFC East is down to one. One Birds win or one Cowboys loss and the division has its first repeat winner since 2004.

Remaining schedules:

• Eagles (9-5): at Washington, at Buffalo, vs. Washington
• Cowboys (6-7-1): vs. Chargers, at Washington, at Giants

The best Dallas can get to is 9-7-1. The Eagles would have to lose out to get to 9-8. Barring a miracle, it’s pretty much over for Dem Boyz.

The post [Eagles’ Magic Number Down to...

It’s the end of an era:

Not to make light of a Patrick Mahomes injury suffered in the 4th quarter on Sunday, but this feels like the end of the Chiefs dynasty. They’ve been to five of the last six Super Bowls and fans of the other 31 NFL teams are ready to see someone else come out of the AFC. Maybe the Bills finally get over the hump with the Chiefs out of the way. Maybe the Broncos, Pats, or Jags go on a run that nobody saw coming.

It’s objectively refreshing to see something different on that side...
