For Eagles, tempo = No Darren Sproles

by Jimmy Kempski

Of the Eagles skill position players, one of the few players not to appear on the injury report this season has been Darren Sproles. And yet, despite clearly being one of the more dangerous weapons in their offense, Sproles ranks ninth on the team among their skill position players in total snaps:

Chip Kelly thinks Eagles' offensive overhaul is 'overblown'

by Jimmy Kempski

This offseason, the Eagles' offense went through a significant overhaul when Chip Kelly tried to replace two starting guards on their offensive line, traded for a new quarterback, replaced their running back, and drafted a new starter at wide receiver. Unquestionably, in my opinion, their struggles this season can at least partially be attributed to a lack of continuity.

Eagles measure themselves on 'points per drive'

by Jimmy Kempski

Back in September, we pointed out that because of the fast-paced offense the Eagles run, their statistics are often skewed, both offensively and defensively. For example, in 2014, the Eagles were third in points per game and fifth in points per game. However, they were only 13th in points per drive, and 14th in yards per drive.

Recap: Eagles chat with Jimmy Kempski

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles can never just make life easy on their fans. After a huge win on Sunday Night Football in Dallas vs the Cowboys a week ago, the Birds lost to the wretched Dolphins in one of the more horribly played games I've ever seen from the Eagles. But... As always in this atrocious NFC East, the Eagles are still in the hunt, as they remain just a half-game out behind the division-leading New York Giants.

Riley Cooper and Miles Austin can't be gone soon enough

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Eagles signed Miles Austin this offseason, it made no sense whatsoever. He was an old, declining, injury prone receiver, who lacked special teams experience. I'll expand.

Philadelphia has the worst sports teams in North America

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Phillies are an abomination that won't be good for a long time, the Sixers are in year three of tank mode, the Flyers are a disappointment, and the Eagles just lost... at home... to one of the worst teams in the NFL. None of the four Philly teams have a winning record, and two of them are arguably the worst teams in their respective sports. Of the cities with at least three franchises in the four major sports, Philadelphia has the worst teams in America.

Eagles' long history of injured quarterbacks continues

by Jimmy Kempski

If Mark Sanchez starts in place of Sam Bradford next Sunday, as expected, it will mark the seventh consecutive year in which the Eagles' quarterback did not start all 16 regular season games.

Nick Foles benched

by Jimmy Kempski

After just nine starts with the St. Louis Rams, Nick Foles is no longer "the guy," as head coach Jeff Fisher announced that Case Keenum will be taking over as the starter.
