Denny Basens 06:26 am | Tweet Week 1 vs Atlanta I’m shocked that the season opener didn’t turn out to be against the Minnesota Vikings or Dallas Cowboys. On paper, I’d think those would make for much more compelling season-opening matchups. But instead the Eagles will take on Falcons in a rematch of the Divisional Round playoff…

GarryCobb 01:12 pm | Tweet Yesterday the Eagles lost two starters from their Super Bowl Championship squad.  They released veteran defensive end Vinny Curry after trying to restructure and reduce his deal.  The Birds biggest and most physical running back from a year ago, LeGarrette Blount, was in Detroit on Friday and he signed a…

GarryCobb 10:52 am | Tweet Yesterday Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham signed a five-year $40 million dollar deal with the Birds.  I think this was a great move by the Birds because I thought Bradham was surely headed elsewhere.  He said two other teams had shown a serious desire to acquire his services.   and he…

GarryCobb 09:33 am | Tweet It’s amazing how the sports atmosphere in Philadelphia has changed so much since the Eagles won the Super Bowl.  The players for the Sixers, Flyers and Phillies have been inspired to step up and take the challenge.  Both the Sixers and Flyers went on winning streaks.  In addition, the front…

GarryCobb 08:20 am | Tweet I know many of you probably refuse to take the possibility of LeBron James coming here seriously, but I think there’s a good chance he could come to Philadelphia to play with the 76ers.  Ben Simmons is like a little brother to LeBron.  He mentors Simmons and owns the company…

Denny Basens 07:06 pm | Tweet Nick Foles This is really the million dollar question. The only thing I’m 100% certain of is that Nick Foles has earned another opportunity to be the starting quarterback for a team in this league. There should be a strong market for Foles. Teams are always desperate for quarterbacks, and when looking at…

Denny Basens 06:51 pm | Tweet On Losing Frank Reich, John DeFillipo A successful NFL team is going to have their coaching staffs poached by the rest of the league. Unfortunately for the Eagles, they’ve already lost two key assistants from Doug Pederson’s staff. Frank Reich accepted the head coaching job in Indianapolis, and quarterbacks coach John DeFillipo has…

Denny Basens 03:24 pm | Tweet Victory! A Championship Worth Waiting For You certainly couldn’t ask for a Super Bowl Championship in a grander fashion than what the Eagles delivered on Sunday night. A shootout with five-time Super Bowl Champ Tom Brady? A game that went back and worth and went right down to the wire? A fourth…

GarryCobb 02:03 pm | Tweet I’m convinced that the key to the Birds defensive success against the Pats starts in the middle of their defensive line with Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and his partner Tim Jernigan.   The Eagles desperately need Cox to take over this game in much the same way he…
