Eagles have a chance to all but bury the Cowboys on Sunday

by Jimmy Kempski

Back in Week 2 when the Cowboys came to Lincoln Financial Field, they were missing their most talented player (Dez Bryant), their best defensive back (Orlando Scandrick), their best pass rusher (Greg Hardy), another dynamic pass rusher (Randy Gregory), their starting middle linebacker (Rolando McClain), and their starting left guard (Ronald Leary). The Eagles could not take care of business then, but if they can even the series between themselves and the Cowboys in Dallas this Sunday, they can all but bury them for the season.

Taking a look at the rest of the NFC East teams' schedules

by Jimmy Kempski

The NFC East is trash. The Eagles can't catch the ball. Or throw. The Giants are on pace to give up the second most yards in NFL history. Dallas has lost five consecutive games and is beginning to look like a five-alarm tire fire. And the Redskins, are, you know, the Redskins.

by Jimmy Kempski

Uh oh. According to a report from Kyle McLorg, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been benched in favor of... wait for it... Blaine Gabbert.

Sam Bradford has a 'high' chance of being with a different team in 2016

by Jimmy Kempski

Remember the good old days when Donovan McNabb was a very good-but-frustrating quarterback, when Eagles fans could say, "We could certainly do worse?" Unfortunately the Birds, through seven games this season, that is no longer true.

Week 8 NFL picks

by Jimmy Kempski

For the gambling degenerates, here are my Week 8 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.

The Eagles' offense is their defense, unfortunately

by Jimmy Kempski

Last Sunday night in Carolina, the Eagles forced three turnovers. On one of those turnovers, the Eagles offense started at the Carolina 39 yard line. On another, they started deep inside the Panthers' end of the field, at the Carolina 18. However, the Eagles offense was only able to convert those three turnovers into six points. The unfortunate reality of this season has been that the Eagles offense is leaning heavily on the defense to generate points via turnovers.
