Last year, the Eagles were playing for pride. This season, their December schedule has much greater implications.

If the Eagles can take advantage of their newly discovered home cooking, then they could have the upper hand in the schedule breakdown, but a win against the Cowboys is likely going to be a requirement regardless of what else happens.
Chip Kelly's unique way of doing things has been the right formula for the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles have found a quarterback they can feel good having on the field, the league's leading rusher leads the offense and the defense has improved week by week. The Chip Kelly offense is coming along nicely, even if Nick Foles is not considered the ideal quarterback to lead it but Kelly has been silencing critics as he keeps the Eagles loose and ready to strike.
From joint press conferences, to encouraging words caught by NFL microphones after big plays, Vick has been the consummate professional and an exemplary teammate, and he deserves credit.
Each team has a new head coach and those fellows are seeing some improvements in their teams' "blind spots".
Foles has always been a pretty smart passer and his instincts have always been admirable. This is what former head coach and quarterback guru Andy Reid saw in Foles and it is something Chip Kelly was very familiar with having coached against him in the Pac 12. Now, as Kelly's offense starts to become more familiar with the Eagles, Foles is beginning to excel in it with smart decisions.
Michael Vick's hamstring injury has prevented him from being available to play for the Eagles, but it's also given head coach Chip Kelly a bit of an out in any "who is the starting quarterback" question. Very soon, that will not be the case, and Kelly says he'll deal with it when the time comes.

There was a lot to like about what the Eagles did Sunday against the Redskins.

There will be a lot on the line Sunday at the Linc when the Eagles face the Redskins. Just ask anyone but the Eagles.
The Eagles are keepers of a well-publicized ten game losing streak at Lincoln Financial Field. It's been over a calendar year since the Eagles won a home game. Oddsmakers say that's likely to change.
Temple head football coach Matt Rhule got an up close look at Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater this year. Though Bridgewater has been impressive, and at this point is widely considered to be the first quarterback taken in the 2014 NFL Draft if he makes himself available, Rhule says he'd still take Nick Foles.
