Xs and Os: Eagles, Giants Week 17 Preview

Background/Storylines: Eagles (4-11) and Giants (8-7) Thankfully, this disaster of a season is almost done. The 4-11 Philadelphia Eagles have been nothing short of an abomination, using an eight-game losing streak to go from the top of the NFC East to the bottom of the NFC. They’ve won only once in the last 3 months, […]

Xs and Os: Eagles Look to Play Spoiler in Matchup with Redskins

Background/Storylines: Eagles (4-10) and Redskins (8-6) The last time the Philadelphia Eagles played the Washington Redskins, the Eagles were 3-6 and looking to save face in what had been an otherwise disastrous 2012 campaign. Since then, however, things have only gotten worse in a 1-4 slide that puts them at 4-10 and tied for dead […]

Xs and Os: Eagles-Buccaneers Week 14 Preview

Background/Storylines: Eagles (3-9) and Buccaneers (6-6) Even when they play well, the Philadelphia Eagles still can’t buy a win. In last week’s 38-33 loss to the Cowboys, the offensive line, defensive line, and Nick Foles had their best games of the season not to mention a punt return for a TD by Damaris Johnson. Still, […]

Xs and Os: Eagles Start Rebuilding Process Against Dallas on Sunday Night Football

Background/Storylines: Eagles (3-8) and Cowboys (5-6) The Philadelphia Eagles have officially hit rock-bottom, ranking 16th out 16 teams in the NFC with an atrocious 3-8 mark. Without starters LeSean McCoy, Michael Vick, Jason Peters, Jason Kelce, and Todd Herremans, the Eagles’ losing streak has been extended to seven as several tenures start to wind down. […]

Xs and Os: Eagles, Panthers Battle on Monday Night Football

Background/Storylines: Eagles (3-7) and Panthers (2-8) I’m pretty sure that ESPN would retract this game if it could, because no one up in Bristol could have imagined the Eagles and Panthers combining for five wins through the first 11 weeks of the season. The Eagles needed a win last week to keep their season alive […]

Xs and Os: Eagles Face Redskins In Do or Die NFC East Battle

Background/Storylines: Eagles (3-6) and Redskins (3-6) Do you remember the last time an Andy Reid-coached Eagles team was 3-6? Neither can I, because the last time it happened was 1999, Reid’s first year as head coach. Ironically, the situation wasn’t so different back then: a struggling veteran QB (Doug Pederson) was replaced midseason by a […]

Xs and Os: Birds and ‘Boys to Battle at the Linc

Background/Storylines: Cowboys (3-5) @ Eagles (3-5) After nine head-scratching, mind-boggling weeks that make fans want to tear their hair out, the Eagles and Cowboys enter an all-or-nothing duel at Lincoln Financial field.  Both have endured similar struggles with turnovers, blown leads, and red zone inefficiency.  Like the Eagles, the Cowboys also reside at the top of the league in total […]

Xs and Os: Reid, Eagles Look to Right the Ship Against New Orleans

Background/Storylines: Eagles (3-4) and Saints (2-5) The Eagles are simply one of the most confounding teams in the NFL. They’ve won close games against two of the top teams in the league, Baltimore and the New York Giants, but they simply can’t find a rhythm on offense, can’t stop opposing offenses in the fourth quarter, […]

Xs and Os: Eagles Face Lions in Final Game Before Bye

Background/Storylines: Eagles (3-2) and Lions (1-3) The Eagles come into Week 6 as a team that is much better than it’s record—and +/- for that matter. They have yet to play a complete game on offense, thank in no small part to turnovers. Michael Vick has been the biggest culprit in that department with 9 […]

Xs and Os: Eagles Seek 4th Win Against Cross-State Rivals

Background/Storylines: Eagles (3-1) and Steelers (1-2) The Philadelphia Eagles may have a +/- of -17, but they’re 3-1 and that is all that really matters. With Lawrence Tynes missing two consecutive long kicks to give them a 19-17 victory over the rival New York Giants, the Birds lead the NFC East and proved that they […]

Xs and Os: Eagles, Vick Look For Statement Win on Sunday Night Football

Background/Storylines: Eagles (2-1) and Giants (2-1) It was quite a turn of events in Week 3, when the Eagles fell 27-6 to the Arizona Cardinals, a loss that derailed any momentum they had from their Week 2 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Now, as we head towards their titanic clash against the Giants this Sunday, […]

Xs and Os: Eagles Look to Reach 3-0 in 2nd Straight ‘Battle of the Birds’

Background/Storylines: Eagles (2-0) and Cardinals (2-0) The Philadelphia Eagles may have only won by one point against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, but it was a much different “one-point victory” than the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Even with the offensive issues that leave the Eagles with nine turnovers—the most in the NFL—through […]
