Birds’ Eye View: The Eagles’ toxic trait is giving their fans anxiety
“Oh, it’s only the Lions, this is an easy win for the Birds.” Yeah, last season. It can’t get much easier for the Eagles than a team that went 3-13-1 last season. But somehow, it took one drive (and 61 total penalty yards) early in the game to turn things around. The Philadelphia Eagles survived…

Birds’ Eye View: PREVIEW – Eagles-Lions

Birds’ Eye View: Preseason – Eagles-Dolphins
Not even worried. And no, I did not watch this game either. Consistency is key. But just like my consistency in not watching Eagles preseason games so I don’t get emotionally invested so soon, the team has been very consistent throughout the preseason. There were some good and bad consistencies, but consistent nonetheless. The Philadelphia…
