 | Once Again, Eagles Make Questionable Draft Decisions
This is the second straight year that the Philadelphia Eagles traded out of the first round and the fourth straight that they have failed to select a wide receiver higher the second round. Is there a trend here?

The Eagles were the lone team of the strong NFC East to not make the playoffs. What can they do to get back to the postseason?

Philadelphia not only made the first big splash of the NFL’s free agent period with the move but also fortified a defense that struggled mightily last season.

| Hey Philly, Go Get Chad
While some of his actions have created distractions in Cincinnati, Chad Johnson's an upstanding citizen and doesn’t possess to negative aura surrounding Terrell Owens.

| It's Not Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Donovan McNabb has seemingly had one foot out the door for a majority of the 2007 season. Philadelphians have grown tired of the constant injury woes that have followed him throughout his nine seasons as the Eagles' quarterback.

| History Agrees With McNabb
Despite the success of Doug Williams and Warren Moon, the NFL was slow to warm up to drafting blacks to lead offenses. After Williams in 1978, it took 12 years until another black man was selected in the first round.

| 2007 Season Preview: Philadelphia Eagles
Last year I was one of the few who thought the Eagles were going to win the NFC East. I believe the 2007 Eagles are superior to last year’s version, and neither the Giants nor Cowboys are as good as last year.

| Change?
The 2006 Eagles are either a really good team that has woefully underachieved or an average club that got off to rousing start because of the schedule.
|
| Frustration In Philly
The Eagles have done a lot right on both offense and defense, but mental mistakes have cost them three victories in this young season. Mistakes like the ones they made against New York, New Orleans and Tampa Bay will not earn them a playoff spot come winter, but if McNabb continues his torrid pace he'll give the Eagles a chance to win every game, no matter who the opponent. T.O. may be out of The City of Brotherly Love, but the drama continues.

| Optimisim Following The Stumble
As soon as Donovan McNabb hit Reggie Brown for a 23-yard touchdown, the Eagles looked like they were the class of the NFC East, if not the entire NFC. While the result was a stumble, the first three quarters cannot be discounted when analyzing the early returns of the 2006 Eagles.

| 2006 NFL Team Preview: Philadelphia Eagles
2005 was a fluke for the Eagles. They’re nearly as good as they were in 2004 when they won 13 games and went to the Super Bowl. But this Eagles team really reminds me of their 2003 version, which struggled a bit on defense but featured a strong ball control offense and great special teams and won 12 games.

| No T.O. Spells T.K.O. for Wing-Clipped Eagles in Washington
Terrell Owens has done it again. He's opened his mouth as wide as only Terrell can, let rip with more words of defensive antagonism, but this time Philadelphia ownership has opened theirs even wider. As a result of this most recent T.O. P.R. M.P.B.(Massive Public Blunder) the Eagles, whose offensive survival all season has literally depended on moving the ball through the air, have been grounded --no, emergency crash-landed-- as they prepare for a big road game against the Redskins Sunday night on national television.

| MCNABB PROVES SOMETIMES THE REAL EXPERTS ARE RIGHT
Donovan McNabb’s introduction to the city he would be playing in couldn’t have been worse. Luckily for the fans that booed him, McNabb showed the mental toughness it takes to play quarterback in the NFL.

With all the Owens bashing going on, perhaps it is time to take a closer look at the other players involved in this tragic comedy of affairs.

| T. O. The Best ever? Just Ask Him!
Terrell Owens seems to makes news no matter what he tries. Terrell's last antics is to play basketball in the NBA's development league. Sometimes I wonder what goes through this guys mind. Their is no doubt that Terell Owens is one of the best receivers in the NFL, but with T.O. you always have the excess baggage he brings.

| Eagles, Simon Remain at Loggerheads
While the Terrell Owens contract soap opera draws most of the attention, the Philadelphia Eagles are also at a contract stalemate with one of their key defensive players, defensive tackle Corey Simon.

Of all the Eagles veterans in the midst of contract disputes with the team, Brian Westbrook appears the most likely to reach a resolution in the near future.

| Contract Squabbles, Controversy Plague Eagles’ Offseason
It’s almost inevitable in modern professional sports that a trip to the championship game will be quickly followed by players lining up to demand big raises and long-term contract extensions.
