As soon as someone figures out how to take Beckham out of the equation, and they will, that won't be a big threat.

These divisional games can always go either way regardless of records, so we will see what happens. I'm looking forward to the BLACKOUT!!!

In other news......will Chip stay or go?

He's not going anywhere in the near future.

Another quiet week on the board over here.

Four players are out for the Eagles: wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle), linebacker Kiko Alonso (knee), defensive end Brandon Bair (groin) and linebacker Mychal Kendricks (hamstring).

Mathews is questionable.

I bowl tonight - so I can't fully watch until well into the second half.

Here's to hoping that the football gods smile on our beloved Eagles tonight!

Glad the Eagles won but that was certainly an ugly win. 3 Interceptions, Sam Bradford was horrible!!!

My thoughts exactly. I had to be in bed so I only watched up until mid-3rd quarter. Although we were leading, I wasn't impressed. Bradford looks terrible, especially compared to an efficient quarterback like Manning. I think a lot of us wouldn't mind seeing Sanchez take some snaps at this point. I'm glad DeMarco finally broke out of the haze, and Sturgis was able to connect all of his kicks.

EDIT: Oh, and that defense last night! The Eagles would've been put to bed early, had it not been for the defense stepping up and making big plays!

Let's see - Eli Manning had TWO picks, including a pick six and TWO intentional groundings. I wouldn't exactly call that "efficient". If you take away that opening drive, he was terrible.

He wasn't horrible - he could have been better. 1 INT was Cooper's fault for cutting off his route.

It seemed like he was aiming his passes more than just letting it go.

It's game #6 for him in a new offense after being out for a long time. He will probably not live up to the high expectations... but he ain't Brian Hoyer or Ryan Mallett either.


I was happy for Murray finally getting 100+ yds. and a TD. He needed that. Hopefully it's a sign of Kelly figuring some things out.

Yes.....ugly, but I'll take the "w". I'm not sure how much longer I can stand these awful games.

Tell me again how Sam Bradford ended up as the Eagles QB.....
