In Philadelphia every offseason is about Donovan McNabb.

Only this time, Philadelphia is not alone.

ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio says that the drama around McNabb is the story off the offseason. Bellow is an excerpt:

Philadelphia is the only team in the NFL with all three quarterbacks on its roster going into the final year of their contracts. Teams are calling, wondering who’s available, who’s not and what the Eagles would want in any potential trade.

The Eagles’ front office is listening. But here’s the [...]

Not even the Super Bowl can be free of Donovan McNabb trade rumors.

Les Bowen issued a piece in today’s issue of the Daily News talking about the latest speculation in on trades involving McNabb, as well as Vick and Kolb. He also stressed that as of now nothing is close to happening.

Bellow is Bowen’s article.

If there is one day in the NFL year when we ought to be free of worrying about Donovan McNabb and the Eagles , it should be [...]

Over the past few days phillysportsblogs has made a case for Michael Vick, Kevin Kolb and Donovan McNabb to be named the starter in 2010 for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Now it’s time to get serious.

Before I unveil the rightful choice for the job, it is time to look at one of the major factors in the decision that not yet been discused.

The last two weeks have been hard on Eagles fans young and old. Entering the final week of the season [...]

In 1995 after feeling underappreciated by the Philadelphia Eagles organization, Randall Cunningham retired from football.

For the next five years the Eagles would be led by the likes of Rodney Pete, Ty Detmer, Bobby Hoying, Koy Detmer and Doug Peterson.

Boy did that group of quarterbacks make Cunningham’s achievements that much grander.

As the Eagles enter an offseason filled with questions about the quarterback position it is hard not to think back the Birds’ 1995 decision to got with Pete and relegate Cunningham [...]

Though his sample size was small (two games) and the defenses he faced weren’t the greatest (Chiefs and Saints), Kevin Kolb’s two performances as the starting quarterback for the Eagles this season should not be overlooked.

In that limited sample he became the first quarterback to pass for 300 yards or more in his first two NFL starts. That’s right, he did something that not even Peyton Manning, Joe Montana or Dan Marino can lay claim to.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying [...]

Michael Vick is a weapon, plain and simple. He can run, pass and he is capable of the big play at any time.

When the Eagles signed Vick last offseason they did so to give an athlete with a troubled past a chance to rebuild his reputation in the community and show that he could also still get the job done on the field.

I think most would agree that he went 2-for-2.

It is almost a certainty that the Eagles will not [...]

The late Albert Einstein is known for many great pieces of knowledge. In the sports world there is one phrase he coined that seems to trump all else:

“The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result.”

That phrase has been used by fans over the last few seasons to persuade  the Eagles front office breaking up the duo of Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid. Of course the front office has not taken that route, [...]

Westbrook hits our list at #8.  He would be much higher but for one thing.  The guy can not stay healthy.  He was born in 1979 and came from one of my favorite local colleges, the Villanova Wildcats.   He still owns 37 school records at Villanova.

Early on in his career he got the reputation for being injury prone.  He has lived into this reputation.  In his 8 NFL seasons, he has NEVER started every game for the team.  McNabb got [...]

Andy Reid got his extension and will now be at the helm of the Philadelphia Eagles through the 2013 season.   In his ten seasons, Reid has led the Eagles to the playoffs five times, with four NFC East championships and 1 superbowl appearance.  BUT, still no elusive superbowl victory.  He is the winningest coach in Eagles history.

When he arrived the team was 3-13 the year before and somewhat of a laughingstock in the perennially tough NFC East.  His first [...]

The Eagles finally broke out of their fall doldrums and thoroughly dominated todays opponent.  They only led 13-0 at halftime, largely in part to penalties that called back several scores, and their own inability to finish drives.   Only a determined goal-line stand to close out the first half and keep it from being a one score game provided them with needed momentum as they came out in the second half with the first possession.

Michael Vick was welcomed back to [...]

Whenever talk surfaces about this era of Eagles football, the attention immediately goes to Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb – the duo that has spent the last decade together as coach and quarterback.

However there is another piece which has been vital to the teams’ success. A piece, which like Reid and McNabb, has had big success, while also drawling the ire of fans at times.

And right now, this piece is as responsible for the Eagles’ place in the standings as [...]

The Eagles dominated every single offensive and defensive category in todays game and in the process managed to just barely win.  They had more total plays of offense, more yards passing, more yards rushing, had better yards per pass and rush attempt, had more time of possession, better 4th down efficiency, allowed fewer turnovers, and barely escaped with a win !!

Yes they were not as good on third down, thanks to the Redskins being unnaturally good at that, but they [...]

The Eagles avoided what would’ve been a disastrous three game losing streak last week against the Bears as they hung on for a 24-20 victory.   The win put them at 6-4 just a game behind the Cowboys in the NFC East and in the drivers seat for the top wild card spot in the NFC.    A loss to the Redskins on Sunday could change all that in a hurry so the Eagles need to focus on their opponent and not [...]

Vai Sikahema did something very few players-turned athletes ever do — he turned on his former employer.

Boy was that refreshing.

Sikahema, who was a return man in the 80s-90s, including a stint with the Eagles in 92-93, was a guest on the Mike Missinelli’s show on 97.5 fm this afternoon and openly said that he believed it was time for the Andy Reid-Donovan McNabb era to end. He was tough on both the coach and player, ultimately saying that their tenure [...]

For the second straight week the Eagles suffered a defeat, this time to the San Diego Chargers, 31-23. There were a few positives from the game, mainly Jason Avant’s breakout eight-catch, 156 yards. However, the bad once again outweighed the good. Here is a brief look at what went wrong on Sunday.

-      Brian Westbrook’s season and career may be over. A second concussion in a month knocked Westbrook out of Sunday’s game. His season is almost certainly over and you [...]
