EaglesFanCast - Views on the Philadelphia Eagles

EaglesFanCast 73 - Dream Weaver

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 9 Dec 2009 04:00:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles roll into Atlanta and destroy a depleted Falcons team with the help of none other than Michael Vick, who scored his first two touchdowns of the season with the win. The Eagles also move into a tie for first place in the division after the New York Giants defeat the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles do not have time to reflect as they will be driving up the New Jersey Turnpike this Sunday where they will take on the Giants for another extremely important game. We talk about all of this, handle a few emails and talk about where this Eagles team is at this point in the season.

What we discussed:

Eagles crush the Atlanta Falcons 34-7 in Atlanta
Michael Vick scores a touchdown both on the ground and through the air
Leonard Weaver made some amazing plays and is another Eagles weapon
Decent play all around from all sides of the ball this week
Email from Craig in upstate NY
We talk about some of the other NFL teams and how the season is turning out
Voicemail from... Jerry Jones?
Email from AussieSteve
Do we bring back Brian Westbrook, even if he's ready?
Twitter topic from iconjohn... Vick as a non-factor, was it a good move by Lurie?
Eagles go to the New York Giants this week, big game as any Divisional game is.

EaglesFanCast 72 - Fourth Quarter Confidence

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 2 Dec 2009 05:25:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles post a second come from behind win in as many weeks, defeating the Washington Redskins at home. This places the Eagles with a 7-4 record, and hot in the race for the Wild Card.

The Eagles win over the Redskins and move to 7-4
Can the Eagles be starting to gel and make a serious run at the playoffs?
Eagles sign TE Brent Celek to a contract extension
The Eagles moved the ball against a good Redskins Defense
Asante Samuel making the picks, but still not the tackles, and that is ok with us
The New Orleans Saints and Drew Brees just look dominating
Email from Dr. Krug in Gettysburg
Email from Dennis in Gerrysburg
DeSean Jackson suffers a concussion in the game, and might not play against the Falcons
The Eagles activate WR Jordan Norwood from the practice squad today
A side story we expect to see more of as the week progresses is Michael Vickâs return to Atlanta

EaglesFanCast 70 - Eagles on Vacation

EaglesFanCast 69 - A Giant Win

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 4 Nov 2009 04:52:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles bounce back from two disappointing showings to trounce the New York Giants 40-17 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Eagles jumped out early, executed a very effective Offense, harassed the Giants weapons, and never looked back as they soared to the top of the NFC East. We break down what we saw, and listen to other fans talk in emails and a voicemail.

What we discussed:

Eagles win by 23 over the Giants and move to the top of the NFC East
It was complete domination from the beginning of the game
The Offense ran the ball a lot more, despite not having RB Brian Westbrook in the lineup
Voicemail from Brian in Panama City, FL
Coaching, QB Donovan McNabb, playcallingâ everything was ready for this Giants team
The Dallas Cowboys are coming to town and it cannot be a bigger game at this point in the season

Are we a new team, or do we still have the remnants of the Raiders game to worry about?

EaglesFanCast 68 - Eagles Offensive Woes

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:13:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles come off a win against the Washington ForeRedskins 27-17 on Monday Night Football, and we couldnât be moreâ apathetic. The Eagles Offense was disappointing, and the team did not play up to the caliber that we expected after the embarrassing loss to the Raiders last week. What makes matters worse is RB Brian Westbrook went down with a concussion and might miss the next game. Donovan McNabb was off again, the wildcat has mange, and the Eagles next play NFC East Division rivals, the New York Giants. If coach Andy Reid does not fix what is wrong, and quick, then the remainder of the 2009 season is going to be a very long one.

What we discussed:

Eagles win on Monday Night Football, 27-17 over the Washington Redskins
It was an unimpressive game except for a few standout plays
Brian Westbrook suffered a concussion in the game, and may not be able to play against the Giants
We talk DeSean Jacksonâs speed, Will Witherspoonâs play and Donovan McNabbâs troubles
Email from Evan
Todd calls a Loss for this game against the Giants
Email from Dennis in Gettysburg

EaglesFanCast 67 - Raiders Of The Lost Cause

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:38:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles lose to the horrible Oakland Raiders in a game that pretty much everyone thought was a lock for a Win. Almost every aspect of the team contributed to the embarrassment, from coaching, playcalling, tackling, passing, blocking and kicking. We try to express some of what transpired since the game, what went wrong, and our concerns for the future. Joining us this week is Cody Benjamin, from the Eagles fan blog, Bleed Green.

What we discussed:

Cody from Bleed Green joins us, and we ask him about his site
Who is to blame for this horrible loss? It might be easier to say who is not
Andy Reid shoulders the blame for this lossâ no adjustments, and he was completely outcoached
Eagles trade with Rams at the deadline, picked up LB Will Witherspoon and sent them rookie WR Brandon Gibson
Donovan McNabb was under pressure all game, and he was too jumpy as a result
Stacy Andrews still looking tender, and may not be 100% for a while yet
email from Evan
email from Aussie Steve
email saying farewell to Trotter
email from Dr. Krug in Gettysburg
We are angry about this loss, and why?
We touch on what to be nervous about moving forward

EaglesFanCast 66 - Welcome Back McNabb

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:14:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles take apart the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-14 in Philadelphia this week. Quarterback Donovan McNabb returns from his rib injury, Jeremiah Trotter returns to the team, and Jeremy Maclin has a phenomenal game playing for the injured Kevin Curtis. The win wasnât without some negativity, but the Offense put together a solid game and helped Head Coach Andy Reid move to 11-0 after the BYE week.

What we discussed:

Eagles beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-14, but although satisfying, it wasnât fun to watch throughout
The game was frustrating because of the amount of penalties, poor officiating and just how bad Tampa Bay is
We talk about the play of McNabb, Westbrook, Maclin, Celek and more
Andy Reidâs rumored contract extension, and he is now 11-0 after the BYE
Email from Aussie Steve
Email from Alex
Steve from the UK put together 10 years of stats in a spreadsheet and has been analyzing the hell out of it showing how much Eagles fans love their football

We tried something new this week, as we incorporated a live chat during the show recording. We wanted to get a live chat going so people could interact and participate while we record. Then we realized that it would make more sense if you could hear what we were talking about. So we configured a channel over at ustream. We tested it out, and it was a success, and we had a bunch of people in the chat room checking out the scene and we only let people know a few minutes beforehand! Awesome time, thanks to everyone who came and visited.

Weâll be doing this each week when we record from now on since the live feedback was all positive. Bookmark our channel at http://ustream.tv/channel/EaglesFanCast, and register for an account, so you can join in the chat!

EaglesFanCast 65 - Always Bleeding Green

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 7 Oct 2009 03:58:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles take a BYE week, but we are still talking all about the Birds this week, and itâs an even bigger show as Jason from Bleeding Green Nation joins us again. All the usual suspects (McNabb, Vick, Kolb, Westbrook, Trotter) are the topics of our conversation as we sort out where the Eagles are at this early point in the season.

What we discussed:

We catch up with Jason of Bleeding Green Nation and whatâs been going on with his site
We talk about Jeremiah Trotter and try to figure out why heâs back
Eagles players coming off injury: McNabb, Westbrook and Curtis all practicing
The Wildcat Offense â our thoughts

EaglesFanCast 64 - Welcome Back Trotter

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 03:20:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles put together another impressive Offensive effort in beating the Kansas City Chiefs 34-14. Granted it was the Chiefs, but we were able to see a confident Kevin Kolb come out and run the Offense and effectively move the ball and make very few mistakes. It also marked the return of Michael Vick to the NFL where his role this week was more of a decoy than the much-hyped wildcat offense has led us to expect. Also big news today was the signing of former Eagle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, who left the team, lobbied to come back, then was cut in 2007. This Eagles organization is anything but boring since the Summer.

What we discussed:

Todd came to Philly and he gives his impressions of the updated tailgate
Eagles win big over the lousy Kansas City Chiefs
Kevin Kolb named NFC Player of the Week, and sets an NFL record for the first Quarterback to ever throw for over 300 yards in each of his first two starts
The young players stepped up and played great (McCoy, Kolb, Jackson)
Michael Vick makes his first regular season appearance since 2006
Eagles signed LB Jeremiah Trotter and released Jeff Garcia
What does the Trotter signing really mean to this Defense?
Email from Dan in England
Voicemail from "Cowboy" LOL

EaglesFanCast 63 - Kolb's Debut

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:47:00 GMT

This weekâs Philadelphia Eagles game was a big one. It was quarterback Kevin Kolbâs debut as a starter, filling in for the injured Donovan McNabb. It was the home opener. It was against a very tough NFC opponent in the New Orleans Saints. Well the Eagles rebounded off a great performance against the Panthers last week, and underachieved, made mistakes, and took themselves out of a game. We chat about how Kolb looked out there, what went wrong with the team to lose in such an embarrassing way, the wildcat offense, and field some emails from listeners that have concerns.

What we discussed:

Eagles lose to Saints 48-22
Kevin Kolb impressed, and we feel he finally earned his spot on the roster
Special Teams was just horrendous
Is Andy Reid losing control of the team?
The wildcat offense was used a lot in this game, is this the new Eagles Offense?
Brent Celek had a big game with 101 yards
Email from Dennis
Email from Holden
Email from Alex
We talk about the Kansas City Chiefs game this coming week

EaglesFanCast 62 - Panther Smackdown

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 04:49:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles crush the Carolina Panthers 38-10 in a bittersweet win as we also lose our quarterback Donovan McNabb to a broken rib on a late touchdown run. The Eagles make a lot of moves with some familiar names in the last day in response to McNabbâs injury. Jeff Garcia returns to the Birds, Michael Vick is activated so he can start practicing, and to make room, Guard Shawn Andrews is placed on the IR and Wide Receiver Hank Baskett is cut. An overwhelming news day, and we bring it all to you in typical Green style.

What we discussed:

Eagles rout the Panthers 38-10
New Defensive Coordinator Sean McDermott called a great game and alleviated any concerns that he can lead this Defense through the year
Trent Cole looked amazing
McNabbâs injury play is debated
Quarterback Kevin Kolb didnât impress (again) and he now has the opportunity of his young career this coming week against the New Orleans Saints
Email from Dennis from Gettysburg, PA
Brian Westbrookâs option was not signed by the Eagles today, leaving him a free agent in 2010
Jeff Garcia in, Hank Baskett out, Shawn Andrews out and Michael Vick activated
Sheldon Brown had two interceptions in a great performance

EaglesFanCast 61 - Expectations

Wed, 9 Sep 2009 02:17:00 GMT

The Eagles mercifully exit the preseason with a 1-3 record, and enter the official 2009-2010 season traveling to the Carolina Panthers this coming Sunday. This team seems to be a mystery to fans, yet sports analysts see good things from them. We talk about the moves of the last week, how things look going forward and talk about what fans have written to us.

What we discussed:

The Eagles visit the Carolina Panthers to start the NFL season this Sunday
We talk about the roster cuts, signings and starters

EaglesFanCast 60 - Preseason Continues

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 2 Sep 2009 03:46:00 GMT

The Eagles win their first preseason game, and Michael Vick debuts in Eagles green on the field. Most fans at The Linc give him a standing ovation as he trotted out on the field and the stage is set for a very interesting season. Itâs tough to watch and talk about the preseason games, because you donât know what will make it to the regular season, from players, to strategy, to expectations. Most of this weekâs show focuses on Quarterbacks and Defense.

What we talked about:

Michael Vick debuts in Eagles Green
Fans hard on Donovan McNabb, as usual
Does a Brady or Favre, in Eagles Green, get the same treatment?
The team still looks sloppy
Will the âwildcatâ offense with Vick really work?
Email from Sgt Anthony, stationed in Iraq

EaglesFanCast 59 - Big Fan Interview

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:43:00 GMT

A slight divergence from the normal EaglesFanCast podcast you all have come to expect. Hope you donât mind!

We had the opportunity to have a chat with Robert Siegel, the Writer and Director of the new movie Big Fan, which will be hitting theaters in limited release only in New York and Philadelphia on Friday, August 29th. In Philadelphia it will be playing at the Landmark Ritz at the Bourse, definitely go see it. Check the movie website for more cities and release dates.

Eric and I had a good time talking with Robert and learned more about this drama, his take on the characters, and how a New York sports bar was transformed into a Philly sports bar. Listen in, and if you go to see it, please let us know what you think!

Find out more about Big Fan at the movieâs official website.

We will be back again next week and talk about Michael Vickâs game debut for the Eagles after he plays in the preseason Jacksonville Jaguars game in Philly. Since he and Donovan McNabb are slated to play the first three quarters, we wonât have to wait for the regular season to find out how Coach Andy Reid plans to utilize Vickâs talents in our Offense.

EaglesFanCast 58 - Michael Vick?

fans@eaglesfancast.net — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:00:00 GMT

So the Philadelphia Eagles sign veteran quarterback and convicted felon Michael Vick last week. The news rips into fans in a huge way, making national news, segmenting the loyal fanbase, and pushing all of the emotions of fans and non-fans of the Eagles and the NFL in general. Anger, confusion, shock, disgust and acceptance flooded the print and online media. We share our thoughts, and a bunch of emails that came in. Thank you everyone!

What we talked about:

Michael Vick, yeah, thatâs just about it

EaglesFanCast 57 - RIP Jim Johnson

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:55:00 GMT

We've taken a few months off, and it was a slow Eagles news time anyway, but we are back.

Unfortunately, we record this episode with heavy hearts, as long-time Eagles Defensive Coordinator, Jim Johnson, passed away today. He had been battling cancer for a while, and was 68. We will never forget what he did for the players, coaches and fans of this organization, and we wish his family all the best during this very hard time.

The Philadelphia Eagles website has an amazing tribute to the best Defensive Coordinator the organization, and perhaps the NFL, has ever had.

What we talked about:

We remember Jim Johnson, who passed away today.
Sean McDermott, the new Eagles Defensive Coordinator named last week, is young and has to gain the respect of the players
WR Jeremy Maclin has not signed yet, but there are no worries
Training Camp talk: Brian Westbrook looks great, Stacy Andrews is a monster, Shawn Andrews looks like his old self, and Donovan McNabb is having fun
Eagles Flight Night is this Sunday - Chuck and Eric will be going, so say hi
We talk a little Phillies... we can't help it, it's a Philly thing
Email from Phil - he has the same thing most Eagles fans are feeling right now: is excited, but has reservations

One last thing, web aficionado and all-around good guy, Drew Olanoff, was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. Not one to sit back and do nothing, he turned his passion for life and the web on the cancer itself. If you are on twitter, chances are you have seen people blame Drew's cancer for many things in their own lives. Drew's created the "Blame Drew's Cancer" movement where he has partnered with Livestrong, and hopes to get sponsors to donate a dollar for every time someone blames Drew's cancer for something. If you're on twitter, go ahead.

We're back, so too should you be:

EaglesFanCast 53 - Eagles Offseason Yawns

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:04:00 GMT

Wow the Philadelphia Eagles offseason seems long this year, doesnât it? A bunch of heartfelt losses and nothing exciting on the signing front (with no offense meant to Stacy Andrews or the others). The Eagles did sign fullback Leonard Weaver, which fills a big hole on Offense and definitely helps the running game on a few levels. Other than that itâs been rumors, speculation and a few low-impact signings. This show, our friend Jason from Bleeding Green Nation stops in to chat with us about whatâs been going on with the Eagles for the last few weeks. We also hit on various players and address a few rumors about some big profile players.

What we discussed:

Eagles signings: FB Leonard Weaver, S Rashad Baker and S Sean Jones
Eagles still have a lot of holes to fill
The team is conservative with their money, but have gone out and spent big in the past
Email from Aussie Eagle re: the Eagles signing all of these players to one-year deals
Weaver is definitely the best acquisition so far this offseason
Eagles President Joe Banner talked with WIPâs Howard Eskin
Brian Dawkinsâ leadership role in Denver
Rumor prospects: Anquan Boldin and Braylon Edwards
Thanks to Todd, we get into a Donovan McNabb talk again

EaglesFanCast 52 - What's The Plan?

fans@eaglesfancast.net — Wed, 4 Mar 2009 05:10:00 GMT

Free Agency has started, and so far the Eagles have lost an enormous amount more than they have gained... at least that is the way it appears to Eagles fans. Losing both Brian Dawkins and Correll Buckhalter, as well as the eventual loss of Jon Runyan due to Stacy Andrews' signing, has left fans with a very bad taste in our mouths. It's painful to see 13-year veteran Dawkins go to another team, despite knowing what a ridiculously-sweet deal they gave him. Plus we have seen so many other teams be very aggressive in free agency, including division rival New York Giants, and seemingly get better in the process. We're left wondering what plans the Eagles organization has, and how they plan to fill the many holes that this team now has.

What we discussed:

Free agency has started
We lost Dawkins, Buckhalter, Considine and soon LJ Smith and Tra Thomas
Lito Sheppard was traded
Brian Dawkins received an offer from Denver that the Eagles wouldn't even think about offering him
The new NFL is all about business, and fans' attachments to players hurts when they are inevitably traded or released
TJ Houshmandzadeh apparently asked for more money from the Eagles than other teams
Dennis from Gettysburg asks us about Boldin and Gonzales
Eagles sign Stacy Andrews, who does have a knee injury concern
Eagles rumors have involved a ton of wide receivers, but we have signed none
What is the Eagles plan?
The waiting game is tough

The offseason is here, and so are we:

EaglesFanCast 51 - Offseason Begins

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Fri, 6 Feb 2009 04:55:00 GMT

We are a couple of weeks past the Philadelphia Eagles loss to the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship, and the Super Bowl is over. The offseason has begun, and hype has already started. Nothing major has happened yet, but Bengals free agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh has been making the rounds marketing himself. He was interviewed by 950 ESPNâs Mike Missanelli on Wednesday, where T.J. told how he would like to catch for McNabb, admires Andy Reidâs playcalling, and says Eagles fans are too critical. We have all that, plus touch on our offseason needs, some more disappointment in how the season ended and more great emails from listeners.

What we discussed:

Three players added to the roster: DT Amon Gordon, LB Charleston Hughes and S Byron Parker
Eagles QB Coach Pat Shurmer leaves, and there are other minor coaching moves
Super Bowl talk - plain and simple, the Steelers had a lot of time left on the clock, because of their QB
We touch a bit, again, on McNabb as a clutch quarterback
Email from Aussie Mike
Email from Ben in Chicago
Defense talk as well as champion quarterbacks
950 ESPN radioâs Mike Missanelli interviewed Bengals wide receiver, and free agent, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who talks about wanting to play in Philadelphia. Here is the link for the full interview.
Mike and his crew also created a Facebook group called âWe Want T.J.!â The direct link is here if you want to join.
Our needs that need to be addressed this offseason are at the Offensive Line, tailback, tackle, safety and fullback
Email from Mitch comparing the the disappointments of the four NFC Championship losses on his blog
Email from Vince in West Philly
A listener, Holden, created a group on Facebook called âDisplaced Philadelphia Eagles Fans Uniteâ. Search for it in Facebook, or just use this direct link and join up. Great job, Holden!

EaglesFanCast 50 - Heartbreak

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:49:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles come up short in a big way and lose to the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship. After a dismal first half where the Cardinals put up 24 points to the Eagles six, they fight back, scoring 19 unanswered points in the second half and actually take the lead in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately that appeared to be all that was left in the tank, and Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner led his team down the field and scored a touchdown and added a two-point conversion to lead 32-25 with just under three minutes to go. The Eagles Offense sputtered and died on the Cardinals side of the field, as well as their chances at another Super Bowl shot.

What we discussed:

Eagles lose the NFC Championship game, and are now 1-4 in that game under Andy Reid
Chuck calls for Reid to leave
Eric calls out Donovan McNabb and Brian Dawkins for having horrendous games
Todd, like all of us, is heartbroken, calls McNabb a great player, but heâs not a champion
All aspects of the team were flat in the first half
Kicker David Akers was off with a missed field goal, missed extra point and a kickoff out of bounds
The Defense tackling game was one of the worst we have seen this season
Email from Alex (first of two halves from Alex)
Email from Hollis
Thanks to Aussie Mike for the AFL official football he sent us!
Thanks to Nidice for letting us use his song, Eagles Game Face â08 last week
Email from Dennis
Email from Philip
Email from Aussie Steve

Eric and Chuck were interviewed by Rebecca Roberts from NPR at McGillinâs Olde Ale House in Center City Philadelphia. It aired this past Saturday evening on the show All Things Considered. You can hear it at this link. On the right side, scroll down to âSports - Eagles Fan Explains Reputation for Pessimismâ.

EaglesFanCast 48 - Viking Stomp

fans@eaglesfancast.net — Wed, 7 Jan 2009 04:58:00 GMT

The Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Minnesota Vikings in the opening weekend of the playoffs, 26-14. Our Eagles traveled to the Metrodome for the NFC Wild Card game on Sunday and handled Adrian Peterson, the Vikings Defense, and the very loud dome fans, emerging victorious. Next up, the Eagles head up the New Jersey Turnpike this Sunday to face their NFC East Division rivals, and defending Super Bowl Champions, New York Giants. We lay it all out there with how the surging Eagles team needs to handle the struggling Giants at the Meadowlands in front of another hostile crowd. Besides the team, we also hit on golf trips, playoff beards, and more Aussie enthusiasm.

Eagles take out the Minnesota Vikings with the help of the whole team
How all three of us watched the game, and how we felt during it

EaglesFanCast 47 - A Christmas Miracle

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:21:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 47 for December 30th, 2008

Playoffs!?!? Thatâs right, the Philadelphia Eagles clinched the last NFC Wildcard spot by defeating, nay, crushing the Dallas Cowboys 44-6 at Lincoln Financial Field. In front of a frenzied crowd in South Philly, the Eagles took care of things in dominating fashion on both sides of the ball. Our Offense played tight, and our Defense caused five turnovers, two of which were returned for spectacular touchdowns. They didnât let the Cowboys breathe the whole game, and embarrassed the team that most thought would easily take the NFC East this season. Instead the Cowboys flew back to Texas, and the Eagles are on their way to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in the NFC Wildcard Game.

What we discussed:

Eagles are in the Playoffs!
Eric and Chuck sold their tickets to the game, and feel like idiots
Andy Reid looked relaxed, happy and definitely appeared he knew something the Cowboys didnât
Brian Dawkins was an animal and played out of his mind
Email from Alex, who called us out on last weekâs show
Is it hard for teams to now prepare for our schizophrenic Offensive Scheme this season?
Andy Reidâs game plan definitely dictates the outcome of the game; if itâs good, the team is great, if bad, he canât adjust and the team looks horrible
We were all big Oakland Raiders fans this week
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell talked about the tie against Cincinnati and how Reidâs controversial call in that game actually saved our playoff hopes
Email from Aussie Eagle, who talks about how this game saved Reid for the team, which ultimately heâs not happy about
Eric is certain about the Eagles victory in Minnesota this week
We trash the Cowboys some more
Email from Phil in England, who praises the Eagles win, and wonders which team will show up against the Vikings
Email from Corey in Baltimore, with renewed enthusiasm
Aussie Mike writes in about the game, and us visiting Australia, which we would love to do
What we are doing this week for the Eagles-Vikings game
Great email from Thomas in El Paso, Texas
Email from Stephen in Melbourne, Australia who talks about the Sav Rocca Effect for Aussie Eagles fans, and Reidâs hopeful New Yearâs Resolution: RUN THE BALL
Email from Jimmy Craichead in Philly, who found his youthful optimism and put Scrooge to sleep
An article on Monday by Minneapolis CBS Affiliate WCCO talked about how there were 20,000 seats still available for the Eagles-Vikings game, and the team is srambling to sell tickets so it is not locally blocked outâ itâs unbelievable to us
Jerry Jones says Wade Philips is still the coach moving forward, and we wholeheartedly applaud his decision, and hope Wade stays for years to come

Thanks!

â to Thomas in Texas for this weekâs Title suggestion
â to Fred for the customized new Cowboys Stadium paver image (anyone want to chip in?)
â to all of you for making all of this worth it. Hereâs to a great 2009, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

EaglesFanCast 46 - The Blame Game

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:55:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 46 for December 23rd, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles lose to the Washington Redskins 10-3. Despite the Playoff hopes increasing dramatically in a few of the other NFL games, this loss essentially knocks the Eagles out of contention. The Eagles Offense failed to score a touchdown on a horrible outing plagued with inaccurate passing, dropped balls, unbalanced play calling and poor clock management. After seeing three impressive wins, the Eagles fans have now turned against Head Coach Andy Reid with renewed vigor, and concensus is that his tenure in Philadelphia should come to an end.

What we discussed:

The Eagles loss to the Redskins is especially painful after two gifts in other games (Cowboys loss to Baltimore and the Buccaneers loss to the Chargers)
The blame game is back in full effect after that horrendous display on Offense
Some blame Donovan McNabb for his bad passing but most blame Andy Reid
Email from Holden in Louisiana blaming Reid
Email from Mitch in San Francisco with even more Reid impatience
What scenarios have to happen for the Eagles to make it into the playoffs
Email from Jason, talking clock management, Desean Jackson drops and play calling woes
We touch on the heartache of what this team has done
Email from Buz in South Jersey, who talks about many questions of âWhy?â
Third down yardage contributed to the Offense struggles again this week
Voicemail from Jimmy Craichead in Philly, talking about how Reid must go and how far back his Philly team woes go
Email from Stephen in Melbourne, Australia

EaglesFanCast 45 - Take Care Of Business

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 04:10:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 45 for Tuesday, December 16, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles win their third game in a row, defeating the Cleveland Browns 30-10 in Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. With the warm December temperatures and late rains moving in, the Eagles finished off with Kevin Kolb at quarterback, but for a different reason this time. Donovan McNabb had 290 yards passing and two touchdowns, and Coach Andy Reid decided to protect his starting QB. Despite some mishaps in the game, the Eagles looked solid and defeated the struggling Browns like they should have. Now with two games left in the season and a playoff spot on the line, the Eagles need to win their last two games of the season against the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys. Besides that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Atlanta Falcons have to lose a game. The momentum is definitely on the green side, as the team has gelled into an efficient Offense and dominating Defense. Our playoffs have already arrived in Philadelphia.

What we discussed:

Monday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field
Some Fantasy Football talk as both Eric and Todd are in their respective playoffs
Brian Dawkins sets a franchise record with 181 games playedâ we so wished he had made an interception to set that record as well
The Browns coaches seemed to try to keep their QB Dorsey from passing the ball
Both Brian Dawkins and Asante Samuel have made it to the Pro Bowl
We have an email from Aussie Mike
We go into the last two weeks of the season, and talk about what the Eagles need to do, and what other teams need to do for us to hit that playoff spot
Voicemail from Paul out of Caffination
Stewart Bradley is definitely impressing us this season
The Andy Reid controversy continues
Eric feels the Cowboys game might be moved up to at least a 4:00 game with how much weight it may have
Kolb as the new franchise, or bust? We briefly touch on it

EaglesFanCast 44 - The Westbrook Show

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 03:16:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 44 for Tuesday, December 9, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles march up the New Jersey Turnpike, then Brian Westbrook marches all over the New York Giants. The men in Green take their new confidence and beat the Giants 20-14 in a game where our running game ruled and Eli Manningâs passes were dropped. Despite the win, we try to find optimism as this was the Eagles dominant team that should be in the playoffs, not struggling (and hoping) to make a Wildcard spot.

What we discussed:

Brian Westbrook lit up the Giants, again, with 203 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns
B West looked amazing and Eric has a lt of stats to back it
We arenât as excited as we normally should be, and we discuss why
The confidence in Andy Reid still is not there, as weâre not sure how he will handle the game plans for the remaining games
Email from Alex, who was psyched about the Eagles big win over the Giants
Email from Steve, who caught the game at the airport
There were three blocked Field Goals in this game, one returned for a Giants TD
Contest Winners announced for the DirecTV Eagles-branded remote controlsâ congrats to both Dave from California and Steve from San Francisco!!
We talked about the Plaxico Burress effect on the Giants team, or was there one?
Early Eagles playoff scenarios
The talk shifts to the Dallas Cowboys, and their impending demise

EaglesFanCast 43 - A Glimmer Of Hope

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 3 Dec 2008 04:45:00 GMT

We found out about this after we recorded our show, but we want to send out big congratulations to Donovan McNabb and his wife Racquel on the birth of their twins, a boy and a girl. This news comes thanks to Bleeding Green Nation. All our best goes out to Donovan and his family.

Show Notes: Episode 43 for Tuesday, December 2, 2008

We have a really good show this week as we enjoy leftover turkey and a great Eagles win in Philly over the Arizona Cardinals. The Offense lit up the night at Lincoln Financial Field to the massive cheers of all in attendance. Andy Reid went against his own game plans of late and went for a balanced Offense attack. Our QB Donovan McNabb, as well as RB Brian Westbrook, looked great and controlled their drives the whole game and totaled six touchdowns. The Defense also continued to do very well. In all, despite recent games, there were very few negatives taken away from this game. Also on this show, we talk to author Jeff Fekete, an Eagles fan whoâs book titled Making the Big Game - Tales of an Accidental Spectator will be coming out next month. Weâre also having a contest where we are giving away two Eagles logo DirecTV remote controls!

What we discussed:

Philadelphia Eagles beat the Arizona Cardinals at The Linc 48-20
The balanced Offense looked amazing, relaxed and efficient
Max Jean-Gilles fractured his ankle and is now out for the season, and rehabilitation could take up to nine months
Brian Dawkins had an interception which tied the franchise recordâ can you say âHall of Fame?â
Email from Susan, who was happy she was wrong about Reid and McNabb
Eric and Chuck talk to Jeff Fekete about his upcoming book, Making the Big Game
Contest announcement for a DirecTV Eagles remote control, details on our main site
We talk about the New York Giants game this Sunday
Giants WR Plaxico Burress shoots himself in the leg, is suspended by the Giants, and might go to jail

EaglesFanCast 42 - Dark Times

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 04:55:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 42 for Tuesday, November 25, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles lose in bad fashion to the Baltimore Ravens, 36-7 in Baltimore. The only Eagles touchdown came on a kickoff return by Quintin Demps, going 100 yards. Quarterback Donovan McNabb continued to struggle and turned the ball over three times and was inaccurate again, going 8 for 18 for 59 yards at the Half. In a controversial move in both decision and execution, Head Coach Andy Reid benched McNabb and put in 2nd year QB Kevin Kolb. Kolb also struggled against a stellar secondary and threw two interceptions of his own. On the day, the Eagles quarterbacks had a combined 12.5 Quarterback Rating. Again the focus after the game was Andy Reidâs coaching, preparation and play calling, and it has reached a fevered pitch among Eagles fans. Most are calling for a change in the organization, either in quarterback or coach, some want both. We try to make sense of things, discuss what is going on, and our listeners weigh in on the issues this week.

What we discussed:

Email from Mitch in San Francisco
We address McNabbâs confidence level and how he has been talking to the media
Email from Holden in Louisiana
Email from Phil in England
Why did the Eagles go long again on 3rd and short yardage? How is this making sense to Reid at this point, when it has not been working, and anticipated by Defenses?
Bad coaching decisions yet again, just awful
Did Lurie make the call on benching McNabb? Was it Reid? In either truth, both are out of character for the respective people
Email from Alistair in Australia
In a blog comment, Susan calls out the players and the coaches, both todayâs and in the past
Reid, McNabb, Reid, McNabbâ we just go back and forth about the mess we witnessed this week
Eric and Todd both feel that Reid is done with McNabb for the season, despite McNabbâs call to start against the Arizona Cardinals on Thanksgiving
Eric calls for the win against Arizona in big fashion, 38-17

EaglesFanCast 41 - Predictability

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:07:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 41 for Tuesday, November 18, 2008

The hapless Philadelphia Eagles lose to tie the Cincinnati Bengals on the road. We start off raging against Andy Reid, and manage to keep that same tone towards him through the whole show. We also are amazed at McNabbâs lack of knowledge of the gameâs rules, and simply cannot understand how this team with so much talent can now be in this situation with a coach who seems to have lost his ability. Itâs a rough show, but as this show is by Eagles fans, what else can we do but be honest? It is about this team, and itâs hurting right now.

What we discussed:

Eagles tie the Cincinnati Bengals 13-13, and this is as bad as any loss
The team had no energy at all on Offense
There were 58 passing attempts, and 15 rushing attemptsâ when your quarterback was again struggling and eventually turned it over four times
A post over on Bleeding Green Nation talks stats about the unbalanced play calling in the last two weeks against the Giants and the Bengals
Eric talks about how Bengals cornerback Johnathan Joseph talks about how predictable the Eagles Offense has become, and he was ready for it
Andy Reid has become predictable and continues to show his inability to adjust
We have an angry email from Chris Brown railing against Reid and this Offense
McNabbâs comments following the game were ludicrous, especially with not knowing the rules of the game he has played for so long
We get a âtiredâ email from Aussie Mike
We have an email from Holden Fulco with his reaction to the Giants game, yet the same comments apply eerily to this Bengals game
We talk about how the Reid - McNabb team is now 4-14 in the Division since the Super Bowl (thanks to Hollis for this in the comments section from last weekâs post)

Vent and rage, youâll feel better (no guarantees):

EaglesFanCast 40 - Anything Can Happen

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:31:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 40 for Wednesday, November 12, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles lose to the New York Giants 36-31 at home. The Lincoln Financial Field crowd was stunned after a series of missteps, predominantly from the coaching staff, cost them the game. A lot of questions have arisen in this latest loss to yet another NFC East Division rival. Confidence in the coaching has been lost, and the fans wonder what can change when your Executive VP of Football Operations and Head Coach are the same person. At just over the halfway point for the season, and with the Division being so tough, hopes are already starting to wane for our playoff chances.

What we discussed:

We talk about the Giants game, and some of the frustrations
Giants ran all over the Eagles, and we couldnât stop them
The Eagles running was flacid, and it appears that Brian Westbrook is not 100%
Donovan McNabb was tired at the end of the game, and we wonder how this can still be happening
Andy Reid cost them this game; his play-calling, lack of adjustment, and what we feel may be stubbornness, has now made this team mediocre
âCaffinationâ (Paul) on twitter made a great comment that he wants a âGruden factorâ, meaning Dungy built the team and Gruden won the Super Bowl
We find it hard to find a positive from the game, other than Chris Gocongâs huge hit on Brandon Jacobs
A poll on Bleeding Green Nation shows that Andy Reidâs approval rating is 19%
Playoff-wise, this team is in a very deep hole nowâ losing three Division games
We go over the remaining schedule for the Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys, and look at a few other NFC teams
DirecTV is searching for the ultimate displaced fan. The winner goes to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa. Most of our out-of-town listeners (sorry, AussieMike) are eligible for the contest, and we want one of you to win it! It ends November 30th.

EaglesFanCast 39 - Big Week

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Thu, 6 Nov 2008 04:45:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 39 for Wednesday, November 5, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles get off to a slow start against the Seattle Seahawks this week, but regroup in a huge way ultimately defeating the Seahawks 26-7. McNabb struggled early then went on a 20 for 21 streak and ultimately wound up with 349 passing yards and two TDâs. Those went to returning Receiver Reggie Brown and Offensive Lineman Todd Herremans (WHAT!?). The Eagles Defense also stifled the hapless Seahawks Offense after the 1st Quarter, 90-yard play and made them punt eleven times. This coming week the Eagles welcome the New York Giants to town for a Sunday night NFC East street fight at a very unwelcoming Lincoln Financial Field.

What we discussed:

The Philadelphia Phillies win the World Series, and throw the biggest parade in the cityâs history.
Chuck and Eric went to the Phillies parade and talk about their experiences
Donovan McNabb was horrible in the first quarter of the game
Andy Reid refused, again, to deviate from hist scripted plays, and thus didnât help McNabbâs rusty play by running the ball early
Brent Celek has a breakout game because L.J. Smith was out hurt. Smith has been named the starter for the Giants game
Trick play to Todd Herremans for a receiving touchdown
David Akers hit four field goals to finish out the scoring in the third and fourth quarters, and it definitely looked like Akers regained his confidence
We have an email from Aussie Mike
The New York Giants come to Philly Sunday night
The fans have to be loud for this game
The Offense has to be fast, because the Giants will do everything to get to McNabb. Discipline in play and coaching is needed
Lito Sheppard did not practice today (Wednesday), so he is most likely out for the Giants game
After the Phillies championship, we think the Philadelphia fans will expect even more from the Eagles

EaglesFanCast 38 - The Westbrook Theorem

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 02:58:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 38 for Tuesday, October 28, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Philadelphia, 27-14. The team welcomes back Brian Westbrook and Kevin Curtis from injuries, with this being Curtisâs first game of the season. With this back to back win, the Eagles are now 4-3 on the season, and also 10-0 after a BYE week under Head Coach Andy Reid.

What we discussed:

Is Philly cursed? We start off talking about the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series, and how Game 5 is suspended because of two days of bad weather
Donovan McNabbâs play early was bad, but he relaxed and excelled the rest of the game
Brian Westbrook was a rushing machine, and had 22 rushes. We talk about the stat that says when he touches the ball over 20 times, the Eagles donât lose
Jagged play by the Offense. Was it rust by players coming off injuries, or the play calling?

EaglesFanCast 36 - Back In It

fans@eaglesfancast.net — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:28:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 36 for Tuesday, October 14, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the San Francisco 49ers in a 4th Quarter Defensive victory on Sunday at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Despite the Eagles moving the football effectively for three quarters, there was never a time when the game was well in hand. A blocked field goal returned for a TD left the Eagles with a 1-point lead going into the half, and the Eagles struggled for the entire third Quarter before dominating and putting it away late in the fourth. With the Eagles win, and losses by the Giants, Cowboys and Redskins, the Eagles are back in the race as they go into their BYE week.

What we discussed:

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the San Francisco 49ers 40-26 a must-win Away game
We debate the play of the team and coaches during the game and try to make some sense of how effective the team handled their opponent
The Eagles signed LB Tracy White and cut RB Tony Hunt
The Detroit Lions traded WR Roy Williams to the Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys CB Adam âPacmanâ Jones was suspended four games, possibly indefinitely, after his latest off the field shenanigansâ the world feigns surprise
We talk about Cowboysâ owner Jerry Jones and his comments on ESPN about the âagingâ Terrell Owensâ and the world snickers knowingly
The Cowboys have lost five players since Sunday, including their QB, Tony Romo
NFC East Division outlook and standings
Todd talks about attending the Phillies - Dodgers NLCS Game 4 in L.A.
Andy Reidâs 3rd & Long playcalling scares us because he has no plan
We have an email from Aussie Mike
The site, OneCrazyFan.com is now embedding our shows on his tailgate recap pages, very cool!

Next week on our BYE week show, we welcome back Jason from Bleeding Green Nation. Jason joined us in the BYE week last year, and weâre very happy to have him back on to share his thoughts on all things Eagles.

EaglesFanCast 35 - Time For Change

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 8 Oct 2008 03:33:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 35 for Thursday, October 7, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles self-destructed in another game they should have won. This past Sunday, the Eagles lost at home to the Washington Redskins after opening up a 14-0 lead. Now the team is 2-3, lost two games in the division and three games in the conference. We address the loss with a lot of expected frustration and anger, and hope this team, and the coaches, can make the changes necessary to put the Eagles back on top where they should be.

What we discussed:

The Philadelphia Eagles lose to the Redskins 23-17 at The Linc
The first Offensive drive and the punt return were amazing, but that's where the fun ended
Brian Westbrook fractured two ribs, and is now considered day-to-day
Andy Reid's lack of adjustments cost them this game
The Redskins adjusted constantly and were able to counter everything the Eagles tried
Akers misses another field goal
Zorn outcoached Reid
NFC East Division outlook
The Eagles go to San Francisco to play the 49ers in a game we must win
We have a voicemail from IconJohn
We switch gears and talk about the Phillies for a bit

Show Notes: Episode 34 for Thursday, October 2, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles traveled to Chicago to take on the Bears and lose a heartbreaker 24-20. With a number of key players still out with injuries and way too many mistakes by players and coaches, the Eagles fall short. We talk about this game, some injury updates and look forward to the Washington Redskins coming to town this Sunday.

What we discussed:

The Philadelphia Eagles fall to the Chicago Bears 24-20.
Many mistakes added up to this loss, and we detail some of them
The Offensive Goal Line epic fail and ends with no touchdown
Lito Sheppardâs name isnât spoken that often during the games
Email from Aussie Mike
David Akers performance and missing two long field goals, but weâre not worried
We talk about our next four games, and how we travel to the west coast twice
Washington Redskins come to Lincoln Financial Field here in Philly this week for a 1:00 game

Show Notes: Episode 33 for Tuesday, September 23, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles took on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field and smother the Steeler Offense for a 15-6 victory. The Eagles Defense was the side to step up big this game, swarming the confused Steeler quarterbacks and getting nine sacks in the process. Our Eagles are now 2-1 and are playing at a very high level as they travel up to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears this coming Sunday for a prime time game. We are really enjoying what weâre seeing at this point from this team.

What we discussed:

Thanks to all of our new listeners to the podcast and followers on twitterâ Welcome!
The Eagles of Philadelphia beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Philly, 15-6
Brian Dawkins did NOT look old and slow, looking more like Superman with something to prove
Eagles Defense, looking amazing, swarmed Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, sacking him eight times and backup QB Byron Leftwich one time

Show Notes: Episode 32 for Wednesday, September 17, 2008

The Philadelphia Eagles lose a heartbreaker in Irving Texas to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. In one of the best NFL games Iâve ever watched, critical mistakes cost the Eagles the game, and they fall 41-37. In this show we try to put perspective on the game, how early in the season it is, what went wrong, and what can be done to fix things. Despite the loss, we recognize that the Eagles are truly one of the best teams in the NFL this season, and it will be a fun ride to the end.

What we discussed:

Philadelphia Eagles lose to the Dallas Cowboys, 41-37
We address Donovan McNabbâs fumbled handoff to Brian Westbrook and his inability to run the 2-minute Offense
Sean Considine got burned badly in the Terrell Owens TD reception
Brian Dawkins looked old and slow and definitely not on his game, and itâs both sad and worrisome
Three teams from the NFC East are in the Top 5 for the ESPN NFL Power Rankings
We talk about coaching on both sides of the ball
We have an email from Jason who talks about how he feels the day after the loss
The Eagles play the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field this coming Sunday
One of the things the Defense has to do this week is get to Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger

We have a big tailgate planned this week, BIG!

EaglesFanCast 31 - Opening Day Blowout

eaglesfancast@gmail.com — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 02:40:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 31 for Tuesday, September 9, 2008

Our Philadelphia Eagles start the NFL 2008 season with a blowout win at home in Lincoln Financial Field against the St. Louis Rams. The Eagles played great on all sides of the ball, including Special Teams, and our QB Donovan McNabb looked confident and back to 100% as we all hoped. There were few, if any, negative aspects of the game, and there was never a time when the Rams were in the game. This show had a lot of energy and we couldnât help but get excited for the season, and we all anticipate the next game against our NFC East rivals, Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

What we discussed:

Philadelphia Eagles win over the St. Louis Rams, 38-3
Eric and Chuck were at The Linc and Todd watched the game from his couch at home
We question Toddâs sanity with some of his comments
We have a voicemail from Aussie Mike, who warns us not to get too excited about one win
Eric supplies a bunch of impressive stats from the game
Sheldon Brownâs big hit, Brian Dawkins and Asante Samuelâs defensive influence, Donovan McNabbâs passing game, Hank Baskett and DeSean Jackson as very capable receivers
We had a twitter question from âcaffinationâ who asked if whether our Offense was that good or the Rams team was that bad. We say, both!
We talk about the Dallas Cowboys game on Monday Night Football this coming week, and what it means for the rest of the season with a victory in Dallas

Episode 10 - Bleeding Green FanCast

cstanleynj@gmail.com — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 03:26:00 GMT

Show Notes: Episode 10 for Tuesday, October 9, 2007

We record this episode through a thunderstorm
Jason from Bleeding Green Nation blog and podcast is with us tonight
No Eagles news, so we talk about the Bills / Cowboys game last night
Round-table question time:
- Based on the offseason and preseason, what Eagles player has been your biggest surprise/disappointment so far?
- Questions and rumors surround Coach Andy Reid's effectiveness for this season. If his sons were not involved in legal issues, and the Eagles were still 1-3, do you think Reid's performance would still be a huge issue?
- Are you concerned about the number of injuries that the Eagles have suffered so far, or is it just a simple part of the game that happens every year?
- As McNabb's scrambling abilities diminish, does a pocket passer still fit into this offensive scheme, or do you feel the scheme has changed accordingly?
- How would you evaluate the entire coaching staff of the Eagles through the first four games?
- With Dallas dominant and putting up impressive numbers, how crucial are the next few weeks for the Eagles before meeting them for the first time in November?
- The Eagles have been criticized for not pursuing a big-name receiver to compliment McNabb and Westbrook, despite being so far under the salary cap... what are your thoughts?
We discuss expectations for the Eagles - Jets game at the Meadowlands this coming Sunday.

Originally, Ian from Inside the Iggles blog was also supposed to be a guest on the show. Unfortunately, he had some serious computer problems, which prevented him from sitting in with us.
