Facing escalating public relations issues after it was announced two days ago that the Eagles had parted ways with Vice President of player personnel Tom Gamble, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie announced this afternoon that Howie Roseman will be elevated to the role of Executive Vice President of Football Operations and will continue directing contract negotiations, salary cap management, and NFL strategic matters, while overseeing the team’s medical staff, equipment staff and more.
In addition, Head coach Chip Kelly will now oversee the player personnel department. He will also lead efforts to hire a new personnel executive – a process that will begin immediately.

Various reports claim this move could affect the status and future of head coach Chip Kelly, not because of his performance but because Kelly wanted to work with Gamble. The 2014 draft has been a failure to date with only WR Jordan Matthews (second round) and DT Beau Allen (seventh round) making any kind of impact.

The Giants three-game winning streak ended and they finished the year 6-10, their first double-digit loss season since they had the same record in Tom Coughlin’s debut season in 2004.
The Eagles three-game losing streak came to an end.
The Giants finished 3-5 both at home and on the road. It was their first under .500 home record in five seasons in MetLife Stadium and their first since they were 3-5 in 2007 – a season in which they won the Super Bowl. The Giants’ regular-season home record in MetLife is 22-18 (plus 1-0 as visitors).

The final score confirms that. On Oct. 12, Philadelphia inflicted a 27-0 beating on the Giants, who suffered their worst loss of the season. Beckham made his first career start in that game and finished with season-low totals of two catches for 28 yards. He did not score a touchdown. The Giants gained only 253 yards, their second-lowest total of the season.

The National Football League announced that five Philadelphia Eagles were selected to the Pro Bowl, which will be played on Sunday, January 25, 2015, at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

For the Eagles, it was all hands on deck for the game against Washington at FedEx Field. Win and there was a realistic chance to grab the NFC East title and get a home game in the playoffs.
All those hands showed up, but unfortunately for Eagles fans, those palms all had a hand in the Birds stunning 27-24 loss to the Redskins.

The last Giants rookie to lead the team in rushing over a full season was Joe Montgomery in 1999 (with all of 348 yards). Andre Williams has an excellent opportunity to be the next.
Williams will again start and be the Giants’ primary back when the team takes on the St. Louis Rams Sunday in the Edward Jones Dome. Rashad Jennings, who is listed as the No. 1 running back on the depth chart, will not play because of the sprained ankle he suffered at Jacksonville three weeks ago. It will be the fifth game Jennings will miss this season. The last two weeks, he was limited to a total of three carries.

If Odell Beckham Jr. were to launch a campaign to try to win the Rookie of the Year Award, Antrel Rolle would be the perfect person to manage it. Rolle believes unequivocally that Beckham should be the honoree.

It is now or never for the 2014 Eagles. They must win out, get a little help from other NFC teams or face the possibility of winning 11 games and being out of the playoffs.

Chip Kelly talks at his regular press conference at the NovaCare Complex answering a myriad of questions from the gathered media.
