EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants let a game they could have won, maybe should have won slip through their fingers as Big Blue dropped a tough 20-15 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at MetLife Stadium Sunday afternoon under an overcast sky and in a steady drizzle. Both teams played terrific defense but the Jaguars […]
When people talk about the 2017 Giants season and what went wrong, the conversation usually starts with the words, “offensive line” with the emphasis on “offensive.” Big Blue’s blockers were poor in virtually every aspect of the game.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson saw his offense was not coming out of his first-half funk against the Atlanta Falcons in the season opener at the Linc; so he went retro. With 7:41 left in the third quarter and trailing 6-3, Pederson called for the “Philly Special,” the trick play that will live forever in […]
The Eagles gave their fans the most memorable postseason in franchise history last year. Then follwed that up with arguably the most forgetable preseason in franchise history. The Eagles entered their final scrimmage with a record of 0-3, not scoring in five straight quarters. That rude streak continued through halftime against the Jets at the […]
Eagles players and coaches have been together now for four months; five months if you weren’t a draft pick. Over that time this group became a team, many players call it a brotherhood.

The Giants defense has a long list of standout players who have been on board for a few years including a defensive line that boasts talent […]
Super Bowl starting tailback was obtained for a fourth round pick from the Miami Dolphins by the Philadelphia Eagles on Halloween, 2017. It sounds more like a April Fool’s Day joke than a Trick-or-Treat item. That’s what I initially thought when I heard the news that day. Despite the rumors in Miami of an unstable […]
PHILADELPHIA: The Eagles opened their 2018 preseason schedule at the Linc Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it went about as well as you would expect from a game with mostly backups on the field. The teams combined for six fumbles, four turnovers, including three interceptions and 19 penalties for 116 yards. There was […]
In case you weren’t sure, NFL coaches Do not game plan for preseason games. When someone asked a verson of that question on Tuesday after practice, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson couldn’t resist. “We play the Steelers.
