As the Eagles prepared for their game against the Washington Redskins and kept an eye on the torrid (OK, tepid) playoff race in the NFC East, a larger question loomed that impacts not only the remainder of this season but many years to come.
Who is the quarterback here?
Saying the NFL is a tough league and a brutal place to make a living is putting it lightly. Winning is all that matters at this level. Most coaches will play anyone from almost any background if it helps the team win. A player’s resume may get him in the door, but to land a […]
STATEMENT FROM ODELL BECKHAM JR. I owe some people an apology. I wasn’t raised to act like I did the other day. I am not here to make excuses for my conduct. This isn’t about anything that was said or done to me. This is about my behavior, and I am responsible for my behavior. […]
The National Football League announced that three Philadelphia Eagles were selected to the 2016 Pro Bowl, which will be played on January 31, 2016 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
LT Jason Peters (8th Pro Bowl selection, 6th as an Eagle)
Return specialist Darren Sproles (2nd Pro Bowl selection, 2nd as an Eagle)
DE Fletcher Cox (1st Pro Bowl selection, 1st as an Eagle)
Despite lopsided loss the Eagles battled through most of three quarters before the flood gates opened. Here are some positives from the loss.
Remember, if the Eagles beat the Redskins Saturday night then Big Blue in the season finale, they are NFC East Champions – and host a playoff game.
The Eagles lost to the Arizona Cardinals 40-17 at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday night on national television.
Incredibly the Birds are still in control if the NFC East despite the win by the Washington Redskins and despite falling to 6-8 on the season.
If the Birds come away with wins over Washington at home next Saturday night and against the Giants the following Sunday, they host a playoff game.
The Giants lost for the fourth time in five games, and fell to 6-8. They are one game behind Washington in the NFC East. Philadelphia, the third team tied for first place before the Week 15 games, plays Arizona Sunday night. The Giants can still win the division, but according to the Elias Sports Bureau, if the Eagles win Sunday night, the Giants will need the Philadelphia-Washington game next Saturday to end in a tie.

Opening Statement
JF: Really quickly before we get into the specifics of the bowl game, I am really proud of the guys that we have got graduating this weekend, which is what it’s all about. Matt Baney, Tarow Barney, Adam Breneman, Derek Dowrey, Malik Golden, Austin Johnson, Jake Kiley, Geno Lewis, Angelo Manning – with a master’s degree – Carl Nassib, Nyeem Wartman-White, Trevor Williams, Gary Wooten Jr. and Anthony Zettel. And, then Chaz Powell who finished his eligibility in 2011 and has been driving back and forth for the last year to finish up his degree, I am really proud of him. I want to thank the administration for being supportive of him and allowing him to come back and finish his degree.
Last month, the Giants brought back a member of their Super Bowl XLVI championship team when they signed wide receiver Hakeem Nicks.
This week, they reached deeper into their past when they signed defensive tackle Barry Cofield, who played on the Giants team that won Super Bowl XLII. Like Nicks, Cofield did not play a down in the 2015 season before joining his old team and is eager to line up and help out. The Giants host the undefeated Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
