EaglesFanCast 43 - A Glimmer Of Hope
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
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
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
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.
Be a part, show us you care:

EaglesFanCast 39 - Big Week
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
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?
- The Eagles are 4-3 on the season, but weâre still not satisfied
- The game Referees were horrendous yet again, and it seems to be the case this whole season
- Lito Sheppard stepped up this game, and made his presence known in a few ways
- The Eagles travel to Seattle this Sunday to take on the troubled Seahawks
- L.J. Smith was almost killed by Lawyer Malloy
- Reggie Brown was out again this week, despite practicing during the week

EaglesFanCast 36 - Back In It
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.

him back on to share his thoughts on all things Eagles.

EaglesFanCast 35 - Time For Change
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
