The Eagles won 10 games for a second straight season under the guidance of Chip Kelly in 2014. Big whoop! What went wrong and what should the Eagles brass learn from a December crash and burn that saw them tumble from 9-3 to a disappointing 10-6? Malcolm Jenkins, Darren Sproles, Casey Matthews, and Mark Sanchez […]
The Philadelphia Eagles named Cory Undlin defensive backs coach and Justin Peelle tight ends coach. Peelle spent the last two years as the Eagles assistant tight ends coach. John Lovett, the team’s defensive backs coach since 2013, and Ted Williams, the Eagles tight ends coach for the last two years, will both now work in the team’s pro scouting department.
Pittsburgh – The Baltimore Ravens go on the road in the NFL Playoffs and win – it’s their specialty under head coach John Harbaugh – and Saturday night was no different as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-17 at Heinz Field. Quarterback Joe Flacco was an efficient 18-of-29 passing for 259 yards and two touchdowns […]
Despite losing their starting quarterback, Nick Foles eight games into the season plus the services of linebacker DeMeco Ryans, the heart and soul of the Birds defense, in the same game against Houston, and despite losing five starting-level offensive linemen for significant time, including two (Allen Barbre and Todd Herremans) for the season, the Eagles still looked like they would take the NFC East and host a playoff game.
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.
