Recap: Eagles chat with Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles came out of the bye week with an enormous win over the Dallas Cowboys, effectively ending any realistic playoff hopes they may have had.

Beginning at noon today, Jimmy will take your questions in his weekly Eagles chat. Be sure to join him here.

For the gambling degenerates, here are my Week 9 picks. To note, the helmets indicate who I think will win the game, not cover the spread. At the end of the picks, I'll note a few teams that I like based on the spread.

Chip Kelly drops a hint about Sam Bradford's future with the Eagles

There's a theory among the Sam Bradford-supporting faction of the Eagles' fan base that Bradford will get better if he's with the Eagles beyond his first season with the team.

Cowboys defense was gassed on the final drive against the Eagles

One of the benefits of running a fast-paced offense is that as long as you can get some first downs and stay on the field, you will eventually wear down opposing defenses. This is where the Philadelphia Eagles excelled in 2013, in Chip Kelly's first year with the team. Sunday night in Dallas, the fast pace did what it was partly designed to do.

Handing out 10 awards from the Eagles-Cowboys game

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 4-4 on the season after handling their business in Dallas Sunday night. In the process, they sent the Cowboys to 2-6, which is a hole that will nearly impossible for the dumpster fire Cowboys to climb out of. As always, win or lose, 10 awards!
