Sports in Perspective
During his year end press conference, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie announced that Andy Reid will return next season as Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Lurie went on to say that this has been the most disappointing and frustrating year during the Reid era, which is an understatement given the lofty expectations this team had [...]
When the season started 17 weeks ago, Eagles fans saw this game as a potential meaningless match-up. However, it was thought that this game would be meaningless because the Eagles would have already clinched the division. Unfortunately, win or lose, this will be the final game for the Philadelphia Eagles this season. Eagles Offense vs. Redskins [...]
On Christmas morning, I saw a comic in the local newspaper showing the Grinch, wearing a Giants jersey, stealing an Eagles Christmas tree. On the floor was a broken ornament that said “Playoffs.” This comic, even though it hurt, made me chuckle. It also made me think. Yes, the Giants ended the Eagles playoff hopes [...]
It’s Dallas week! That alone should get Eagles fans pumped up for Saturday’s game. To add fuel to that fire, this game has serious playoff implications for the Eagles. At kickoff, we will know whether or not the Eagles are still alive for the NFC East crown. The Jets must beat the Giants at 1pm, [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles sit with a mediocre record of 6-8, yet somehow have a decent shot to win the NFC East. This 6-8 record can be a bit deceiving, however, because the Eagles have more talent than anybody else with a losing record in the NFL. There are many reasons why this team has underachieved this [...]
This was the most complete game the Philadelphia Eagles have played all year, beating the New York Jets 45-19. Honestly, I think I’m more frustrated than I am happy. Of course, I’m happy that the Eagles won, but it’s frustrating because if they would have played anything like this against Arizona, Buffalo etc, they would [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles will try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive yet again. This time, they face off against the 8-5 New York Jets. The game will unfortunately be played at home, where the Eagles are 1-8 in their last nine games. Maybe Eagles fans should do some Jets chants to help the Eagles’ players [...]

The Philadelphia Eagles stand with a disappointing 5-8 record. However, as amazing as it might sound, the Eagles still have a slim chance to win the NFC East. Granted, it’s about a 5% chance,but there is a chance. I will break down the scenarios: If the Eagles want a shot at the division, they must win [...]
In a game that felt like it lasted five hours, the Philadelphia Eagles snapped their two game losing streak in Miami, winning 26-10. The game itself wasn’t pretty, but hey, it’s a win, and I’ll take it. Offense: The offense played well in the second quarter, scoring 24 points, but fizzled in the second half. [...]
The Eagles have had some extra rest since their disaster at Seattle last Thursday night. Hopefully this has given the players time to soul search. The chance of making the playoffs are below 1% at this point, so it’s time to start playing for jobs. That means you too, Andy Reid and Juan Castillo. This [...]
