Doug Pederson (eventually) recognizes poor decision to use challenge vs. Packers

by Jimmy Kempski

Credit Pederson for eventually recognizing the error, however, it is alarming that he would deem that a reasonable time to use his final challenge in the heat of the game.

Lack of discipline (and not just drops) from Eagles receivers killing big plays

by Jimmy Kempski

Last week against the Seattle Seahawks, the Philadelphia Eagles had a 57-yard touchdown wiped off the board because Nelson Agholor did not line up correctly at the snap. It was the second time in as many years that an illegal formation penalty by Agholor cost the Eagles a touchdown. On Monday night against the Green Bay Packers, another gaffe by an Eagles wide receiver wiped out a huge play.

Fletcher Cox has cost the Eagles 15 points this year with bad penalties

by Jimmy Kempski

With a high priority placed on protecting quarterbacks (Cam Newton aside), being a pass rusher in the NFL isn't always easy. All game long, you fight through offensive linemen who are holding you, and if you're able to get a crack at the quarterback, you have to be precise with where you hit him while playing at a high speed, or you may just draw a devastating flag.

Handing out 10 awards from the Eagles-Packers game

by Jimmy Kempski

Well, that was ugly. Against a Green Bay Packers defense that has allowed 153 points (38.3 per game) over their last four games, the Philadelphia Eagles managed to score 13. After an extraordinarily promising 3-0 start, the Birds are now 5-6 and will probably have to run the table to qualify for a playoff berth. Which they won't. As always, win or lose, we hand out 10 awards.

Eagles-Packers inactives, with analysis

by Jimmy Kempski

The Green Bay Packers will head into Philadelphia to face the Eagles with eight players listed on their injury report, in addition to two key players on injured reserve. The Eagles list just two players on theirs. The big news, however, is that the Eagles have indeed decided to bench struggling wide receiver Nelson Agholor.

Re-grading the Eagles' offseason moves

by Jimmy Kempski

In case you missed it, Howie Roseman and the Eagles had themselves quite a busy offseason this year. They re-signed a bunch of their own players, traded some Chip Kelly guys, made a power move in the 2016 NFL Draft, and then traded their starting quarterback. Now that the Eagles have played 10 games, let's take a look back at their offseason moves and assign them arbitrary grades.
