Philadelphia Eagles look to end Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau winning streak

Can the Philadelphia Eagles put an end to Aaron Rodgers’ streak of perfection at home?

Can the Philadelphia Eagles put an end to Aaron Rodgers’ streak of perfection at home?

The Philadelphia Eagles face a massive test in playing the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field this Sunday. Can the Birds challenge the conventional wisdom that the Pack just doesn’t lose at home when Aaron Rodgers is under center?

It will be tough, to say the least. Rodgers is the picture of perfection at home. He has gone 286 consecutive passes without an interception at Lambeau. That means that the last time it occurred was in 2012, Week 13. And because of Rodgers’ flawless play in Green Bay, the team has a home winning streak of 15, which dates back to their 2012 season opener.

Then there is this nugget:

The Packers average just under 42 points per game at home, tops in the NFL, and they’ve outscored opponents at Lambeau by 101 points, also the NFL’s largest home win margin.

The Eagles are coming off of their incredible 45-21 defeat of the Panthers on Monday night. With the way Philadelphia is putting points on the board even with a backup QB leading the way, they’ve proven that they are one of the best in the league. And today, on the frozen ground of Lambeau Field, they will matchup against another one of the best.

The potent offenses of both Philadelphia and Green Bay are quite comparable on paper. They are fourth and fifth in the league, respectively, in points per game, with the Eagles averaging 31 to the Packers’ 30.8. Philly has 389.6 pass yards per game (5th), while the Pack has 256.4 (10th).

The Eagles D meant business and stole the show from Sanchez’ debut in the routing of the Panthers. Cam Newton didn’t stand a chance against the Philadelphia pass rush. The Eagles will bring the pressure to Rodgers,  but as he can do just about anything as well or better than any other QB in the league, including escape pressure, will it be enough?

Then there is the matter of Green Bay’s defense, who, with 18 takeaways, ranks second in the NFC. While Sanchez had a strong showing for his first full game as the Eagles’ signal caller, going 20 of 37 for 332 yards and two touchdowns, he has a history of turnovers. The Packers D has likely heard this as well, and will do everything in their power to force some takeaways. How will Sanchez fare?

All this considered, this is a perfect game for Philadelphia to try to get back on track with its ground attack. They certainly have the tools – LeSean McCoy, are you there? – but they rank just 20th in the league with the rushing game. With the Packers ranked 30th in the NFL against the run, giving up an average of 142.6 yards per game, you’ve got to get things going on the ground to increase your options.

The Eagles have the enviable ability to score points in a number of different ways. That will be important as it’s still too early to know what to expect from Sanchez. Even with that uncertainty, the fact remains that this battle between two of the best in the NFC will be a fight to the finish. A sure bet for Green Bay? Not really. But it’s going to be close.

It’s a beautiful day, let’s call for an Eagles defeat of the Pack in Lambeau to put an end to that home winning steak. Prediction: Eagles 31, Packers 28

WATCH: Darren Sproles’ punt return for touchdown against Panthers

Cam. Woah Cam. The turf at the Linc is what Cam Newton will remember most from his trip to Philadelphia for Monday Night Football.

Cam. Woah Cam. The turf at the Linc is what Cam Newton will remember most from his trip to Philadelphia for Monday Night Football.

It was a game with many, many Philadelphia Eagles highlights, as the team extended its record to 7-2 with the 45-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Monday night. Blowout games tend to serve as highlight reels for the team doing the blowing out.

The Panthers, on the other hand, were so bad that you felt for them. You knew how awful quarterback Cam Newton must have felt after suffering sack after sack after sack by Eagles defenders, particularly LB Connor Barwin, who played like a man possessed with 3.5 sacks on Newton. Cam was sacked a total of 9 times in the game. Ouch. But he kept getting up, only to receive more punishment.

So many highlights from the Birds this game that it’s hard to pick one – there were the multiple, steady, and productive Mark Sanchez-to-Jordan Matthew’s connections that resulted in two touchdowns. For his part, Sanchez, in his first full game leading the Eagles offense, finished the game with an impressive 20 of 37 for 332 yards and two touchdowns.

Let’s go to an old favorite this season. RB Darren Sproles, the man so foolishly given up by the New Orleans Saints. He just won’t quit, and he has always delivered for this Eagles team.

The Eagles scored in all phases on Monday night – on offense, on defense, and on special teams. Watch Sproles deliver a 65-yard punt return for a touchdown, his second TD of the game – all while still in the first quarter.

All eyes on Mark Sanchez as Philadelphia Eagles face Carolina Panthers

Monday, November 10th, 2014

MS

As with any game, there are many important aspects of the Philadelphia Eagles on which to focus this Monday night. But who are we kidding?: Tonight’s game against the Carolina Panthers is all about Mark Sanchez.

Every step he takes, every move he makes, we’ll be watching him. Every throw. Every decision. Can Sanchez ably lead the Birds for the six to eight weeks that Nick Foles is expected to be out with a broken collarbone? If so, is he the quarterback on which we should hitch our trailers for an even longer stretch of time? If Sanchez can avoid the turnovers that became an all-too prevalent part of Foles’ performance this season and turn in a series of consistent performances, the answer could be yes. But those are big “ifs”. Sanchez has his own history of turning the ball over to overcome. Since entering the league in 2009, the former USC quarterback has thrown for more interceptions (71) than touchdowns (70) in his career.

Evan Mathis’will return to the o-line just as Todd Herremans exits for the season due to torn biceps. The Eagles have finally found some footing with their running game and would do well to take advantage of the 131.9 yards the Panthers have allowed on the ground each game. With a healthy Chris Polk added to the already powerful mix of LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles, the Birds could have a dynamic game on the ground tonight. The run needs to be a prevalent part of tonight’s game to allow Sanchez time to adjust to the role of signal caller for Philadelphia.

There is another important story to watch as the Eagles take the field at the Linc tonight and for the remainder of the season. How will Philadelphia fill in for the loss of DeMeco Ryans? Defensive coordinator Bill Davis plans for Casey Matthews and Emmanuel Acho to take over Ryans’ middle linebacker responsibility as far as making calls. On the field, the defense will use a combination of Acho, Matthews, and Mychal Kendricks to make up for the loss of Ryans. It’s a similar solution as to when Kendricks was sidelined for several weeks, Davis said last week.

“[Linebackers] Coach Rick Minter does a great job of teaching the concepts of both so we can move multiple guys to the MIKE or the WIL depending on what we need”, Davis said. “Whether we’re in dime or nickel or anything like that. Right now it’s the same rotation as when Mychal [Kendricks] was down. It’ll be [Emmanuel] Acho and Casey [Matthews] handling first and second down duties at the DeMeco spot instead of the Mychal spot. They’re cross-trained and they’ll be fine.”

While the Panthers defense features Luke Kuechly, last year’s Defensive Player of the Year at MLB, it is struggling this season. They have already given up 236 points this season. They gave up only 241 in all of 2013. They are missing Pro Bowl DE Greg Hardy. Their struggles will be a nice complement to an Eagles team adjusting to key losses on both sides of the ball.

Cam Newton and the Panthers’ offense aren’t doing well on any front this year, putting up just 19.7 points per game, 25th in the league. By comparison, the Eagles average 29.2 points per game (5th in the NFL). Newton is completing just 57% of his passes, and Carolina’s receiving corps’ top producers are Greg Olsen, Kelvin Benjamin and former Eagle Jason Avant. Love Avant as we do, that is hardly a stellar lineup. The Panthers are also putting together just 94.7 rushing yards per game, which leaves them with no clear answers for getting points on the board.

A Panthers team with significant issues facing an Eagles team adjusting to key losses on both sides of the ball may make for a more competitive Monday night matchup than we’d like to see. But the Eagles will still prevail.

Prediction: Eagles 24, Panthers 14

Mark Sanchez takes the keys of the Philadelphia Eagles offense for 6-8 weeks after Nick Foles injury

Significant injuries have unfortunately overshadowed the Philadelphia Eagles’ 31-21 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. The leaders of both the team’s offense and defense went down with injuries, with Nick Foles suffering a broken collarbone and DeMeco Ryans suffering a season-ending ruptured Achilles.

Foles will not require surgery for his broken left clavicle. However, he will be out of game action for an estimated 6-8 weeks. With his unsteady performance in the 2014 season, many are more than ready to hand over the keys of the Eagles offense to Mark Sanchez to see how he fares.

In his debut for the team, Sanchez went 15/22 for 202 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in three quarters of play. He already has Chip Kelly’s full confidence.

“I feel great about Mark. I thought he’s done a great job in our system. I thought he played outstanding in the preseason and showed no rust or anything when he got in there against Houston yesterday.”

Indeed, the Monday morning buzz around the NFL, both locally and nationally, was about how the Eagles may not be in the worst hands with the transition to Sanchez. Foles is tied with Geno Smith for the second-most interceptions in the NFL, at ten each.  Only rookie Blake Bortles has notched more INTs this season, with a league leading 13. Unfortunately, Foles’ play this season has been more of a liability than an asset to the Eagles offense much of the time.

So it is Sanchez’ time to try to lead a team for the first time since being released by the New York Jets. While no one expects miracles, if he can solidly utilize the many assets in the Eagles’ offensive toolbelt to their best ability, we may, once again, have a quarterback controversy in the city of Philadelphia.

DeMeco Ryans is done for the season

Tuesday, November 4th, 2014

DR

Linebacker DeMeco Ryans, leader of the Philadelphia Eagles defense and all-around team leader, has been placed on injured reserve. He is done for the season.

Ryans ruptured his Achilles during Sunday’s 31-21 win over the Houston Texans. Since the injury, a number of Eagles players have commented on the poor condition of the field at NRG Stadium, with LeSean McCoy saying it’s the worst on which he’s ever played.

While Ryans was a stout player for the Birds’ D and will be difficult to replace in that respect, it is his leadership that will be irreplaceable. Said safety Malcolm Jenkins,

“You can see the respect that not only the guys on our team have for him but from the other team. It’s a big blow. A lot of people care about DeMeco and it just shows you the type of person he is and the type of impact he has on the room and the team. That’s a big blow.”

Chip Kelly called Ryans the Eagles’ “Mufasa”. Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly noted on Twitter that the entire Eagles sideline emptied as Ryans was carted off the field from Sunday’s game. Some players noted that they saw tears in the eyes of their teammates after seeing their leader go down. The experience was particularly hard for Connor Barwin, who was there in 2010 when Ryans also suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, on the very same field, when the two were teammates on the Texans.

Casey Matthews will “fill in” for Ryans at middle linebacker, but trying to replace Ryans’ on-field efforts will require every member of the Eagles defense to step up and play harder for their fallen leader. As injuries in the NFL are inevitable, it’s got to be next man up for the Birds as they continue their push to the playoffs. But the downing of this particular man will be a hard reality to overcome.

In a corresponding roster move, safety Chris Prosinski was added to the team, who worked out for the Eagles in October. He was originally a fourth-round pick of the Jaguars in 2011 and was released by Jacksonville on September 23.

Philadelphia Eagles bye week survival guide

Saturday, October 18th, 2014

It’s Sunday and there is no Eagles football. What oh what is a fan to do?

It’s Sunday and there is no Eagles football. What oh what is a fan to do?

This post is an adaptation of a column by Philly Sports Muse for the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2013 season. 

Nine months of waiting for football season to arrive, followed by several weeks of the ups and downs that mark being a fan of Philadelphia Eagles football. It’s what Fall’s all about, but once a season it comes to a screeching halt: The bye week.

In theory, getting an extra three hours back into your week should be a good thing. There’s never enough time to get everything done, right? The bye represents the only Sunday in 17 weeks where you can do extra chores, sleep longer, visit family – whatever your heart desires. But somehow, it never feels like a carefree addition of hours into your day. Instead, it feels like a desert, a long, dry stretch before once again quenching the thirst for more football. What’s an Eagles fan to do?

In fairness, we shouldn’t be selfish. Though it’s a short season compared to the other major sports, the bye week is a much needed period of rest for players. Football is a grueling game, and it offers an opportunity to rest their bodies and minds from the otherwise relentless season. It’s also an important chance to prepare for the challenging second stretch of the season, which features matchups with the Cardinals, Texans, Panthers and Packers just in the month following the bye.

This year, the week off comes at a time when the Birds are riding particularly high. They are 5-1, and rolled into their break with a resoundingly glorious a**-whopping of the New York Giants, shutting out Big Blue 27-0. And to top it all off, the Eagles are sitting pretty atop the NFC East. Finally, in that thorough trouncing of New York,  all aspects of the game came together to show just how dangerous this Eagles squad can be when firing on all cylinders.

Like it or not, we’re all forced to take a pause from our Sunday routines this week. Eagles players, coaches and personnel probably welcome the brief respite. The fans don’t really need a break. In fact, we don’t even want one. Sure, some of us have intense tailgating schedules, but eating, drinking and cheering is fun. Who wants to take a pause from that?

We’ll find a way to deal. What that looks like will vary from fan to fan, from household to household. Your bye week coping strategy may look something like one of the following methods:

Keep It Going. While there is no Eagles football, there is still lots of football to watch. You still adhere to your game-watching traditions and settle in for a long day on the couch watching how other teams in the league fare. It’s football season, baby, and nothing’s gonna slow you down!

Denial. You’ve known all season that this week means no Eagles football, but you just can’t fully wrap your mind around this fact. You envy fans of other teams who play this Sunday. You stare at your television screen blankly, neither taking in other games nor moving forward with your usual game watching routine. In a word, you are lost, sad and withdrawn. Week 13 can’t come soon enough.

Walking Dead. You want to do something very badly to make use of this “free” Sunday, but just can’t bring yourself to do anything. You just laze around and stare at a dark TV screen all day. Come Monday, you wonder where all of your time went.

Productivity City. The Bye Week is a fact of football season and you make the most of it. Cleaning, cooking, bill paying, shopping, and everything in between, you are a whirling dervish of activity. The team may be resting, but you are not. Gotta make this time count!

Whatever your coping strategy and however forced this break from Eagles football is for you, one thing is clear: It’s going to be an exciting stretch to the finish line.

Philadelphia Museum of Art has fun with Chip Kelly, features Eagles’ team photo

Thursday, October 16th, 2014

by Brandyn Campbell

Brandyn Blog

 

 

 

 

Like anything Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly does, the Birds’ team photo caused a stir. The speed and efficiency with which the project was undertaken, much like his offense, was a masterpiece to behold. All clocking in under five minutes. A mere four minutes and 40 seconds, to be exact.

The photo wasn’t just the team itself, which is quite an undertaking. It was the players, the coaches, and the training staff. The final result was a group that looked the size of a small army, all covered in green and white.

Eagles

Were there hiccups? There wasn’t time for many, but as Kelly recalls, one of the photographers had to take his role as an artist down a few notches.

“One of the guys thought he was Ansel Adams. Let’s get this thing taken and let’s go. You know what I mean? It’s not like it’s gonna be hanging in the Philadelphia Museum of Art or anything, it’s just gonna be in someone’s office somewhere, so let’s get it done.”

Not in the Philadelphia Museum of Art? Think again, Chip. The museum sent out a picture via Twitter on Wednesday of the team photo standing alongside a classic masterpiece, including the hashtag #FlyEaglesFly.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art, showing that class, culture and football fandom can happily coexist.

Philadelphia Eagles flying high after total shutout of New York Giants

Monday, October 13th, 2014

BSThe Philadelphia Eagles head into their bye week flying on the highest note possible: On the heels of total shutout of those New York football Giants 27-0. 27-zip. 27-to-nada.

However you say it, the score is beautiful.

This is the game when LeSean McCoy finally got going, notching 149 rushing yards. The tight ends got into the act, with Zach Ertz and James Casey both getting in the endzone. Nick Foles finished the game with 21 for 34 with 248 yards for 2 touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions.

The Eagles defense showed up big time, completely stifling an offense that had averaged 35 points its last few games. But the streaking Giants simply had no answers for the Eagles, who got eight sacks (6 on Eli Manning and 2 on backup Ryan Nassib), limiting the two-time Super Bowl MVP to 13 for 23, 154 yards for exactly 0 touchdowns.

Connor Barwin was an absolute beast, getting to Manning for three sacks. Vinny Curry had a blast getting to the quarterback and sacking the Giants’ QB twice. Brandon Graham, Trent Cole and Brandon Blair also got into the each, notching a sack each.  Much as the New York media wanting to claim dismay at the portrayal of “Lil Eli Manning” in the Eagles cartoons, that’s exactly what he looked like on the field Sunday night.

It’s the first shutout for the Birds since 1996, and the first at Lincoln Financial Field.  Oh, the previous shutout, which took place in December of ’96. Against the Giants. In that game the Eagles won 24-0.

Darren Sproles, who added to the team’s touchdowns on Sunday night, left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. We’ll wait for news and hope that everything is okay with the most dynamic Eagles player this season.

It was the most complete win the Eagles have put together all season. The victory becomes all the more important as the Dallas Cowboys improved to 5 -1 earlier in the day, beating the Seattle Seahawks. Philadelphia retains its lead in the NFC East and has shown just how good–and dangerous–they can look when everyone is on their game. It’s a wonderful sight to behold for Eagles fans, and something that hopefully makes their next several opponents very nervous as they study the Birds’ Week 6 game film.

Cary Williams is a talker, but his line following the game was great:

“Who said we were a soft 4-1? We’re 5-1 now. Is that soft, too?”

An epic week in Eagles-Giants trash talk

Saturday, October 11th, 2014

by Brandyn Campbell

The hatred between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants runs deep, and the lead up to Sunday night’s matchup between the

Trent Cole will not be the only Eagles player going Eli hunting on Sunday night.

Trent Cole will not be the only Eagles player going Eli hunting on Sunday night.

NFC East rivals has done everything to demonstrate this truth. Play on the field doesn’t get underway until 8:30 Sunday evening, but the mouths of the players on both teams have been going and going and going all week.

The barbs have been flying back and forth all week, so I’ll pick up with Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul showing his dislike for the Birds, as well as basic arithmetic:

“They’re 4-1, but they could easily be 0-4.”

Eagles center Jason Kelce shot right back at JPP and then some, including Big Blue’s head coach in his counter attack, issued on the 94WIP Morning Show:

“I don’t think Jason Pierre-Paul is smart enough to come up with that statement on his own. I think he’s the type of guy that just reiterates what his coaches have been telling him. So, I’m a little worried about Tom Coughlin’s math ’cause I feel like maybe that’s where it was screwed up. Maybe it was just relayed to him.”

*Snap* *snap* *snap* “Men on Film” would need an entirely new snap formation to appropriately characterize Kelce’s words.

What has made this particular Eagles-Giants week unprecedented is how much the Eagles organization has gotten into the act. First, actor Bradley Cooper joined forces with the team to put out this trash-talking masterpiece, proclaiming, “You want to know the best way to shut a loud mouth up? Shut it for them.”

 

And then, they put out a Halloween-themed cartoon featuring lil’ Eli Manning scared of all of the members of the Eagles defense in their all-black err’thing:  


But our friends in New York couldn’t handle the heat. The New York Daily News, always an arbiter of taste, got in the act, responding to Cooper’s Eagles video with this backpage with the headline “Silver Whinings Playbook”:

Clever. Did they come up with that all by themselves?

It’s been a crazy week, even as Eagles-Giants weeks go. But talk is cheap, as has been said many times as a counter-point to the madness. What matters most is what happens between the white lines. The Eagles are top of the division and look to extend that lead with the outcome of Sunday’s game. Once that happens, we can all rest a little easier heading into the Bye. And you think we’re trash talking now?

Philadelphia Eagles survive heart attack-inducing late comeback by St. Louis Rams

Monday, October 6th, 2014

by Brandyn Campbell

Brandyn Blog

 

 

 

 

Everygamecartoon

The Eagles turned a game that should have put the St. Louis Rams away early into a contest that went down to the wire. Once holding a commanding 34-7 lead, the Rams went on a 21-0 run in the second half to come to an uncomfortably close 34-28. All this while St. Louis was led by Austin Davis, a quarterback making only his fourth start.

The cartoon above perfectly illustrates the experience of every single Philadelphia Eagles fan, every game this year, courtesy of Rob Tornoe of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Seriously, though. There has to be an easier way.

The Birds now have a 4-1 record and must be one of the luckiest teams in the league this season, as their play and stats reveal a team that does not match its wins. But, as Chip Kelly correctly stated, “tough 4‑1, soft 4‑1, doesn’t matter, you’re 4‑1, and it’s the same thing.”

While the talk surrounding Kelly always involves his high-octane offense, this season it should be about special teams. It is the only unit that has performed consistently well through five games and at this stage is saving the offense and defense from their many flaws. For the second straight week, special teams scored a touchdown off of a blocked punt. The Eagles have four special teams touchdowns so far this season, including one in each of the last three games, which is a first in team history.

While special teams makes history, the offense and defense continue to make us scratch our heads. Or come close to heart attacks. On offense, LeSean McCoy finally got a little something going on the ground, getting 81 yards on 24 carries. But, concerns surrounding the offensive line and McCoy’s own ability to find a way to get it done under less-than-stellar conditions remain. Nick Foles finished the game 24/37 for 207 yards with two touchdowns, an interception and a fumble. Foles’ decision-making is a cause for concern at times, and he had a few near-misses that the stats don’t reveal.

The Eagles defense let an unseasoned QB put up elite numbers in their home. Davis finished the game with three touchdowns and no interceptions for 375 yards. The D simply couldn’t stop the Rams in the second half of the game, particularly the last quarter, which does not bode well for upcoming opponents, like next week’s prime-time matchup with the Giants.

But the game was won, no matter how ugly, and that’s what matters. The Eagles are a team of two halves, and perhaps we’ll be treated to a complete game played well in the coming weeks. But, more likely, you probably need to continue to keep those Tums nearby.

Happy Victory Monday, Eagles fans.
