The last time the Eagles and Redskins met was opening night. The Eagles expect a tougher test in Sunday's rematch.
Some miss Veterans Stadium. That old edifice was a dump. But it had character, they say. It was the world's largest rat hole, complete with the rats.
This week we at RotoAnalysis are re-ranking the quarterbacks for the rest of the season. There's still time left for your fantasy team to turn it around with some great play from the QB position.
As the Eagles have battled back to even their record of wins and losses, the discussion on what to do with the quarterback situation has evolved from locking in on a top 2014 NFL Draft prospect to the idea that the team can realistically move forward with Nick Foles leading the offense. Much of the decision-making for the offseason plans will be determined by what Foles does for the rest of this season.
"Chip Kelly challenged us after the game," said Jackson. "He challenged us to have a great week of practice so we could do what we need to do and get a win in front of our home crowd. They deserve it."
As Packers wide receiver came down with what was ruled reception in the Eagles 27-13 win on Sunday, replays clearly showed that he did not get both feet in bounds. Anyone who was watching in Philadelphia on television screamed the same thing, "throw the challenge flag!" The Eagles did not challenge the play, and thankfully went on to win the game.
The Eagles go into Sunday's game with Washington having lost 10 consecutive games at Lincoln Financial Field. Though there have been many theories, there seems to be no real explanation for the team's poor play at home, save for last season's poor play pretty much everywhere.
The Eagles will sign free agent wide receiver Brad Smith, pending a physical, according to a report.
The Eagles and Redskins appear to be meeting this week heading in opposite directions. While it seems the Eagles may have started to find a little bit of a groove, the Redskins continue to stumble their way through the season and are in real danger of not being able to defend their NFC East crown.
Chip Kelly stated from the outset that he's always been a Nick Foles fan—and the Eagles' coach is finding out even more about his quarterback.
94WIP Afternoon host Anthony Gargano took over the station's Twitter account for Sunday's Eagles game in Green Bay.
Chip Kelly likes when the Eagles offense moves fast. He wants to score, and he wants to score as much as possible, and for that to happen, the team must move quickly. By moving so quickly, the Eagles don't hold on to the ball for very long, and Kelly doesn't care.
The Eagles have lost ten straight games at home. DeSean Jackson would like that streak to end on Sunday against Washington, but would like a little help from the fans.
The Eagles got another solid game out of their offense and the defense handled a weakened opposing offense. This is what good teams do, but the Eagles still have some work to do before being counted as a good team in the NFC.
