Two key defensive players are listed as probable for the Philadelphia Eagles heading into this weekend's NFC East rivalry match-up against the New York Giants.
Jason Kelce knows what this game means to the Eagles, and he thinks they're going to win it.
The Eagles and Giants have struggled in the early part of the season, but don't tell the Eagles the rivalry has lost any of its luster.
I'm looking at five games in week 5 for us to pick from. Depending on which teams you've used to keep your pulse steady, your choice may differ. Or you could pick a different game entirely, who am I to stop you? If you are one of the more than 9,000 left above water that means you're doing something right.
I want the Eagles to take a chance on Josh Freeman. I can't imagine this is going to happen, but I would be elated if it did.
A win will calm many nerves around Philadelphia, but this season will be a test for patience. How much patience will there be though if the Eagles drop a game to an 0-4 Giants team that may have more to be concerned about entering this weekend?
Most of the time, positional battles become more and more distinct as the season progresses. Usually, one talent emerges over the rest, one guy gets most of the playing time, or the starter gets hurt leaving the backup as the only usable option.
The Eagles say they have put their 52-20 Denver debacle behind them and are looking forward to facing the New York Giants on Sunday. Michael Vick said the team was eager to get back to work and focus on the Giants.
NFL analyst Gil Brandt wrote on Monday that Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is a candidate for the USC head coaching job. Not so, says Kelly.
Talk about a game where both teams need a win. The Eagles have lost three straight games and the Giants have yet to win one. What should concern the Eagles this weekend is walking in to a buzz saw.
Chip Kelly began picking up the pieces on Monday after the disastrous 52-20 thumping the Eagles absorbed against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
Eagles players were heard yelling 'Papa John's," prior to Manning snapping the ball during the Broncos 52-20 win. Manning is featured in Papa John's commercials, and owns several franchise locations of the pizza delivery restaurant.
Mix a three game losing streak, a dismantling at the hands of the Denver Broncos, some previous speculation and an open job at a major college football program, and what do you get? Chip Kelly to USC rumors, that's what you get.
Chip Kelly didn't have to see his team through a whole lot of losing streaks as head coach of the University of Oregon. Just four games into his NFL career, he's already got a three-game losing streak to deal with.
It was one play but it spoke volumes. And it should scare you if you're an Eagles fan.
