EaglesFanCast 79 – Quarterback Hype

Our first real show of the offseason, and we go after the biggest thing right now, the Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback situation. With Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick and Kevin Kolb on the team, it is pretty unanimous across fans and media alike that something has to give. All three of these players, it is believed, can start and lead a team in the NFL. The media has been relentless since the Eagles playoff loss to the Cowboys in their attempt to stir the pot and create rumor and speculation regarding Donovan McNabb returning for the 2010 NFL season. The general Eagles fan feeling is one of anger and predominantly that McNabb has had his chance to win a Super Bowl, and now it is time to move on. In this show, we try to sort through all of this, bring a few emails and voicemails from our listeners, and give our opinions on where the team should go.

What we discussed:

  • Rumors and speculation are rampant and the media has been desperately trying to fuel a controversy one way or another since the end of the season
  • Why is the fans’ anger toward McNabb worse this year?
  • Our friend Tommy Lawlor from Scouts Notebook wrote an amazingly in-depth look at McNabb’s career in Philly, including the ups and downs, the whole Quarterback situation, and is a must read for all Eagles fans.
  • We share our viewpoints on what we think the Eagles should do with our three Quarterbacks this before the 2010 season starts
  • Emails from Aussie Steve and Dennis, voicemails from DQ in New York and Richard in Louisiana

EaglesFanCast 78 – In The Dirt

Our Philadelphia Eagles end their playoff run quickly, and fail in Dallas two weeks in a row, losing to the Dallas Cowboys 34-14, bringing a frustrating and roller coaster season to an end.  We talk about the aspects of the game, bring up some of the disappointment, anger, frustration, and questions that Eagles fans have after yet another playoff run comes up short.

What we discussed:

  • Eagles lose to Dallas Cowboys in the Wildcard round of the playoffs, 34-14
  • The lack of confidence in our QB contributed to the loss
  • Another major contributor to the loss was Andy Reid’s inability to adjust
  • Rumors abound that Brian Westbrook may retire from football altogether, because of his knee issues
  • Email from Evan
  • We address the Quarterback situation a bit
  • We also address what some Eagles fans are saying about why we lost: Brian Dawkins’ absense from the team
  • We close out the show with voicemails from some fans

Note:

  • Our next show we will dedicate to the major topic that Eagles fans are talking about: the Quarterback situation. So send in your (short) emails and voicemails for that topic. Thanks!

post EaglesFanCast 77 – Blanked

The Philadelphia Eagles finish their regular season with an embarrassing loss to the Dallas Cowboys, 24-0. At stake for the Eagles was the number two seed, a potential home game, the East Division title, and pride. The loss in this case was a huge disappointment due to what appeared as a total breakdown on all sides of the ball and in coaching. It shook fans, as this is not what we expected, nor wanted, from a dominant team entering the playoffs, and now instilled quite a bit of doubt approaching our first playoff game, against the Dallas Cowboys.  Jason from Bleeding Green Nation joins Todd and Chuck this week for all the fun talk.

What we discussed:

  • Eagles fall apart and lose to the Dallas Cowboys, 24-0
  • Donovan McNabb’s play was awful this week
  • We break down the many ways we lost
  • What happened to coaching?
  • We play against the Cowboys this week and hope all aspects of the team are prepared
  • Emails from Dennis in Gettysburg, and Reverand Jim in Australia
  • Todd is all about the conspiracy theories this week
  • Eagles GM Tom Heckert interviewing (again) with other teams

post Happy New Year!!

I just wanted to take a minute and send out a Happy New Year to everyone who has been involved in EaglesFanCast this last year. That includes Eric and Todd, and of course all of our listeners and subscribers, our guests, everyone who contributed to the show through comments, emails, voicemail and the chatroom, our fans on facebook and those that have supported us behind the scenes.

We have made a lot of new friends in 2009, and it’s part of what drives us to do this show. You’ve all helped spread the word, and we have more listeners now than ever before. We can’t thank you enough for being part of this little project, and we still have a blast doing it, and I hope that comes across.

So thank you again, have a very happy new year, and let’s start this new decade with an Eagles championship!!!

post EaglesFanCast 76 – One To Go

The Philadelphia Eagles had a big week, winning their sixth straight game by defeating the Denver Broncos in Philly, welcoming back Brian Dawkins and Correll Buckhalter, and seeing six of their players make it to the Pro Bowl.  But what is bigger than this week is what they have coming up next… the Dallas Cowboys, the NFC East, and a first-round BYE in the playoffs.  We do our best to break it all down from the fans’ point of view, and hear from other fans in the process as the 2009 NFL regular season comes to a close in the Eagles biggest game of the season.  Hold on tight, everyone, our playoffs start this week in Dallas!

What we discussed:

  • Eagles beat the Denver Broncos, 30-27, and have won their last six games
  • Eric reads an email from AussieMike from November, who mentioned that if the Eagles went 12-4 on the season, he would walk bare-assed down Bourke Street
  • Eric talks about how Lincoln Financial Field received Brian Dawkins back home
  • We talk about Jamaal Jackson’s season-ending injury, and what it means to this Offense
  • Aussie Steve calls in a voicemail
  • How huge is this game against Dallas this week?!
  • Playoff scenarios in the NFC
  • Where we are watching the game
  • Email from Dean in Birmingham, England
  • Email from Reverend Jim in Brisbane, Australia

Where are we?

post EaglesFanCast 75 – Playoff Bound

Our Philadelphia Eagles win their fifth straight game against the San Francisco 49ers at home in snowy Lincoln Financial Field.

What we discussed:

  • Eagles win over the 49ers 27-13
  • Eagles Offense driving better than they were, and are much improved at this juncture in the season
  • There is still a balanced pass/run offense, and it continues to work
  • The Denver Broncos are a concern because of the potential of the Eagles players looking forward to the Cowboys game
  • Email from Aussie Steve
  • The Great Snowball Fight of 2009

post EaglesFanCast 74 – Giant Sweep

The Philadelphia Eagles travel up the New Jersey Turnpike for their last regular season game at Giants Stadium, and in an epic Eagles-Giants battle, win 45-38.  Not only do the Eagles sweep the Giants this year, but with the Dallas Cowboys loss earlier in the day, the Eagles wind up alone in first place in the NFC East.  All aspects of the team contributed to the victory, and the team showed an enormous amount of character in the face of a tough Giants Offense.  Our confidence builds as the regular season approaches the last few weeks, and we can start to see the playoffs in our sights.

What we discussed:

  • Explosive Offense kept the Giants Defense guessing
  • If Brian Westbrook comes back, a fear is that Andy Reid will revert to an unbalanced Offense again
  • Michael Vick is getting more comfortable out there
  • Email from Steve asking about the Vick / McNabb change in Offense and how it can confuse Defenses
  • Email from KC in Gettysburg, which sparks a conversation of the playoffs are just not enough
  • Email from Dennis in Gettysburg, PA bringing up the point of the Eagles D having continued troubles tackling
  • Voicemail from DQ in NY, talking about Vick being traded for no better than a 5th round draft pick
  • Email from Alex with talk of DeSean Jackson
  • Eagles getting hot, gelling, showing balanced play calling… and we are getting sucked in
  • Watching the Cowboys self-destruct again is also worth it in December

Notes:

  • If you’re in South Jersey, stop into Swedesboro Stogies for a cigar!
  • Luis from Green Fans – The Movie called today and said that the DVD’s start shipping Wednesday morning!
  • Thanks to James in North Carolina for this week’s show name suggestion
