Birds’ Eye View: PREVIEW – Eagles-Cowboys
The Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) are home for quite the weekend for Philadelphia. After the Phillies advanced to the NLCS for the first time in forever, the Eagles now need to finish off the weekend taking on the Dallas Cowboys (4-1). Though the Cowboys came off of a great win leading up to last season’s playoffs,…

Birds’ Eye View: Will the national media still love the Eagles after a loss?
Tonight the Eagles are 5-0 completely. 🎶 Will you still love me after one loss? 🎶 You might know that cute 1960 song by the group, The Shirelles. I think it really applies to how we feel about the Eagles in terms of the national media. When was the last time the modern-day media talked…

Birds’ Eye View: Lingering red flags on the Eagles team after Cardinals game
Well, we’ve seen this before. But it wasn’t even a doink this time. It’s a cardinal rule for the Birds to win by a doinked field goal. The Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) sweat out their first challenging game of the season. Starting out hot at 14-0, the Eagles had since let the Cardinals come back and…

Birds’ Eye View: PREVIEW – Eagles-Cardinals
The next stop on the Philadelphia Eagles’ “Ex Revenge Tour” is with the Arizona Cardinals where they’ll once again see Zach Ertz. I like to think of Ertz as the nice ex, though, where you both might’ve been in two different places in your lives. There’s no hard feelings and maybe it’ll work out another…

Birds’ Eye View: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly from the Eagles Win
WIN: Well, it didn’t start pretty, but it certainly ended beautifully. The Eagles are now 4-0 and still sole undefeated team of the NFL since 2004. There was good, there was bad and there certainly was ugly parts to today’s game. Let’s discuss. The Good: Running the Ball Whether wet or dry weather, running the…

Birds’ Eye View: PREVIEW – Eagles-Jaguars
What another week to welcome home a former Philadelphia Eagle. Doug Pederson comes to the Linc this week with his team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, to compete against his former Super Bowl-winning team. Unlike former players, Doug will hopefully be applauded and cheered on upon entering the stadium. The Eagles will face a pretty good team,…

Birds’ Eye View: Maybe it’s time to buy in to the hype?
Victory Tuesday had a nice ring to it, especially when the Philadelphia Eagles comfortably won against the Vikings in a Monday night showdown at the Lincoln Financial Field. The Philadelphia Eagles are really cooking. They’ve got something going and the national media is taking notice. Yes, the Eagles are better as underdogs, but maybe we…

Birds’ Eye View: Eagles ‘Slay’ the day with a win
The Lincoln Financial Field was packed with electricity and the Eagles delivered on Monday night with a hot game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Eagles won, 24-7. It was a hot start by the Philadelphia Eagles with Jalen Hurts moving the ball around to get downfield to strike first. Hurts had a near-perfect first quarter,…

Birds’ Eye View: PREVIEW – Eagles-Vikings
We’re over last week. It’s a new week of Eagles football. To all the Eagles fans who had an extra day to remain calm, I’m right there with you. What a week it has been. Supposed Jalen Reagor revenge. Justin Jefferson being happier in Minnesota than Philly. To top it off, the 2018 NFC Chip…

The Wawa orders I would give to the Philadelphia Eagles
What better way to celebrate the day after National Hoagie Day than with the most Philly article I’ve ever written? With the return of the NFL season – and a string of commercials that Avonte Maddox, Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith have created for the popular Delaware Valley convenience store – here’s what I think…

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
Eagles football is now OFFICIALLY back! It feels so good saying that for, like, the third time but actually meaning it this time. What better way to kick off the season than with the team they beat 44-6 last year? Granted, the Lions are not the same team they were last year. The 3-13-1 team…

Birds’ Eye View: Welcome to the Eagles ‘Villain Era’
Oh, I said it. Welcome to the Philadelphia Eagles’ “villain era.” For those who aren’t familiar with the phrase, this “era” refers to a shift in priorities and perspective on society and societal pressures to always play nice. Pop culture accepted this concept way before there was a name for it. Taylor Swift shifted her perspective…

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…

Birds’ Eye View: Preseason – Eagles-Browns
The Philadelphia Eagles bounced back from last week’s last-minute preseason loss against the New York Jets, though the team had a lot to show in terms of improvement from last season. Filling the gaps that the team had was a major starting point for the Eagles getting back on track. Sunday night, the Eagles faced…
-
Birds’ Eye View: Preseason – Eagles-Jets
The Philadelphia Eagles hosted the New York Jets in the first-secondish week of NFL preseason football. Both teams added great talent from the draft and during the offseason, so it was an exciting football game for both teams to get to see their new players in action. The Jets beat the Eagles in a literal…

Birds’ Eye View: Eagles Training Camp – One Day Out
We’re almost there, Eagles fans. We’re officially one day away from Eagles pre-season. For me, honestly, that feels like the start of the regular season. Just the idea of football being back, it doesn’t matter if the games count or not. We’ve been waiting patiently (or impatiently but no one’s really judging) for this moment…

Birds’ Eye View: Eagles Training Camp – New Week, Fresh Starts
Monday, August 1 is when the Eagles reported for their second week of training camp. There’s no better time for a fresh start than that. The Philadelphia Eagles were back at it today at the NovaCare Complex for practice in pursuit of the 2022 season. Last week’s initial practices showed a lot of promise and…

Birds’ Eye View: Eagles Training Camp – Good Day for Defense
Like in the famous Eagles movie with the same name, you always have to look at the “silver linings” of things. Today was not a good day for the offense, no, but on the flip side, it was a good day for the defense. This is important because last season, the defense struggled a lot.…

Birds’ Eye View: Eagles Training Camp – Beating the Heat (and Injuries)
After a quick, impressive opening day practice yesterday, the Eagles are taking today to focus on walkthroughs at the NovaCare Complex. This practice was not open to the public and also a very short day for the team. Fans might be wondering if a short practice is counterproductive as they need time to get their…
