Have The Cardinals Over Paid for Kolb.

Filed under New York Jets Twitter, NFC West, NFL Free Agency, Philadelphia Eagles by on July 31, 2011 at 3:43 pm {no comments}

When the Cardinals drafted Patrick Peterson they potentially ad the best Cornerback pairing in the NFL, however fast forward to free agency and that potentially offence shutting down combination has gone via the trading of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for the so far unproven ex Eagle QB Kevin Kolb. Not only that but they gave away their 2012 second round draft pick too!!

 

We have yet to be convinced that Kolb is a starting QB and giving away a top 10 Corner and a probable top 50 draft pick for him looks like a bad decision; unless you are an eagles fan that is. Still Kolb will never get a better chance to shine than this starting in the weak NFC West and with a fairly easy schedule to boot. Plus with Larry Fitzgerald to throw to, he could rack up respectable numbers in 2011.

 

Kevin Kolb Talks About Becoming a Cardinal

 

Overall we feel that the Eagles will be the happier of the two teams when the dust settles on this trade and Philadelphia have jumped into our top 6 for 2011 thanks to their free agency moves.

The other side of the Kevin Kolb trade

I am not ready to call this a bad move, but I will say it is a move the reeks of desperation. The simple fact here is bad teams do bad things that paint.

More Top Players get the Franchise Tag

Filed under Admin, AFC North, AFC South, Baltimore Ravens, NFC East, Philadelphia Eagles by on February 16, 2011 at 11:04 am {no comments}

The uncertainty surrounding the current NFL collective bargaining agreement seems to be having a major effect on the decision making of the teams, with several high profile players being tagged this week.

The latest additions to what is fast becoming a who’s who of top talent includes Baltimores DT Haloti Ngata, Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick, and most surprisingly Colts Star QB Peyton Manning. Admittedly both Vick and Manning have received the “exclusive” designation preventing them from entering talks with other teams, however if the Collective Bargaining agreement does end in a lock out then a free for all could erupt in the NFL and deep pocketed franchises such as Washington could make a move.

Our view is that none of the franchise tagged players mentioned will be allowed to go and they will all be in their respective teams in 2011, still its a funny game football especially where money is involved.

Vick Keeps The Eagles On Schedule For Playoffs

Michael Vick Gets Taken Down By Brian Cushing

Michael Vick  engineered a nice come from behind win against The Houston Texans as the Eagles consolidated their place at the top of the NFC East. Trailing 24-20 going into the 4th Quarter and looking a bit the worse for wear having taken some heavy Vick led his team by example shrugging off his obvious bruising to run for the go ahead TD and then with just over 4 minutes left he threw another to put the game beyond Houston’s reach.

This was a mighty impressive performance against a good Texans side, who battled hard knowing that their playoff chances would be severely dented by a loss. As things now stand the Eagles have their destiny in their own hands and will take the NFC East if they win out. Their only real challengers the NY Giants will now have the pressure on them and will need to beat the Redskins to stay in touch half a game down.

As for the Houston Texans, well its hard to see where they go from here this season with their only chance of the post season likely to be winning the AFC South, which looks highly improbable given they would need a big slip up by both Indy and the Jags. Still they are continuing to improve and although they are the only NFL team not to make the post season this should change soon.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins NFL Week 10

Filed under Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins by on November 15, 2010 at 11:57 am {no comments}

The Monday night game pits two bitter NFC East rivals in a game which will have major ramifications regarding their play off chances. The Redskins beat the Eagles in their earlier meeting, however they have been a model of inconsistency and one can only surmise about the behind the scenes shenanigans which has seen some strange coaching decisions including pulling McNabb inside the last 2 minutes against Detroit.

The Eagles are playing better than expected this year however their QB situation is still a concern and of course Donovan McNabb assuming he starts will be fired up for this one.

Its a tough one to call however we will weigh in with the Redskins and expect a narrow 3-7 point win.

Happy Return To Philly For Donovan McNabb

Filed under NFL 2010 Season, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins by on October 4, 2010 at 10:16 am {no comments}

Sunday Nights 17-12 win at the Eagles must be one of the sweetest wins in Donovan McNabb’s already impressive career, and the Philadelphia hierarchy must already be regretting their somewhat hasty decision to show him the door, especially given he ended up at a fierce divisional rival.

To be fair he hardly set the pitch alight, playing pretty conservatively, however with only one interception and some good fortune with penalties the Redskins generally looked comfortable and were good value for their win.

Leading 17-6 at half time thanks to TDs from the impressive Ryan Torain and Cris Cooley they stayed with the run in the second half and despite a late Philadelphia rally managed to wind out the clock when De Angelo Hall picked the ball off in the end zone with just over a minute to play.

So the Redskins are now 2-0 in the division and are currently top at 2-2, they have Green Bay and Indianapolis to come in their next two games, so we will know if they are for real or not pretty soon.

Philadelphia are playing better than we expected but with doubts at QB with Vick sustaining a nasty injury and Kolb still leaving too many questions unanswered we will stick with our view that they will finish out of the playoffs. However we were pleased that the notoriously fickle home fans gave McNabb a warm and friendly welcome on his return. The city of brotherly love lived up to its name last night.
