The Philadelphia Eagles sent a statement to the rest of the NFC East with a 34-7 beatdown of the Dallas Cowboys.
Philadelphia’s offense had its way with Rob Ryan’s defense, possibly using some of his words this offseason as extra motivation.
When the Eagles are able to protect their quarterback and keep him upright, their offense is one of the most explosive in the league.
The defense also had a big day, getting after quarterback Tony Romo and really shutting down the Cowboys top two receivers. (more…)

The Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Michael Vick have agreed on a six-year contract worth $100 million.
The new deal makes a lot of of people who predicted Vick would never recover from the financial losses he incurred thanks to the dogfighting charges look pretty silly.
The Eagles knew it was time to lock Vick up after trading away backup Kevin Kolb in the offseason.
The only concern is obviously Vick’s penchant for taking off recklessly down the field and injuring himself. (more…)

The Philadelphia Eagles rested Michael Vick and gave up a late lead in a 14-13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Wideout Chad Hall had 84 yards and a score while running back Jerome Harrison finished a yard short of 100 for the day. (more…)

The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles opted to postpone their game against the Minnesota Vikings because of a blizzard hitting the city.
The game was moved to Tuesday night, making it the first time an NFL game will be played on a Tuesday since 1946.
The decision was made out of concern for the safety of both fans traveling to the game and workers who would have to find a way to get home.
A lot of fans were disappointed in the decision, excited about the possibility of playing a game in the snow, which is a rarity for Philadelphia. (more…)

The Philadelphia Eagles overcame a shaky performance to get past the Houston Texans, 34-24.
Quarterback Michael Vick threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns and was also the team’s leading rusher.
The game got a little too close for comfort in the third quarter when Houston took the lead and seemed to grab some momentum.
While LeSean McCoy wasn’t much of a factor on the ground, he did finish as the team’s leading receiver. (more…)

The Philadelphia Eagles saw a second half lead erased in a hurry in a 37-19 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
The Eagles held a 16-7 lead in the third quarter but then saw their defense fall apart over the final 20 minutes of the game.
Philadelphia’s defense surprisingly shut down Chris Johnson, but the secondary had no answer for wideout Kenny Britt.
Britt torched the Eagles for 225 yards receiving and three touchdowns. The Titans only passed for a total of 276 yards. (more…)

It looks like Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson will miss at least the next game after suffering a concussion against Atlanta.
Meanwhile, it appears that head coach Andy Reid has backtracked again and will stick with quarterback Kevin Kolb as his starter.
Despite two consecutive strong outings from Kolb, Reid said after the Atlanta game that he would stick with Vick at quarterback.
Given how well Kolb is playing, Reid really has no choice but to stick with the hot hand and ride it until it cools off. (more…)

The other two touchdowns went to wideout Jeremy Maclin, who is developing a nice chemistry with Vick. (more…)
