Eytan Shander: Philadelphia fans must acknowledge and thank Union for recent success

by Eytan Shander

This truly is a football town. No, not a Futbol town, but a fully immersed NFL city. It’s our identity. No matter how much pub Ben Simmons and his large friend Joel Embiid gets, we always come back to one thing. The Flyers go on a playoff run and it captures the city... for a week or two.

Eytan Shander: The tank is on for the Cowboys; should Eagles fans be concerned?

by Eytan Shander

Jerry Jones is a disgrace. Mike McCarthy should have stayed out of football. Mike Nolan is a con artist who stole the defensive coordinator job away from many more qualified candidates. The team we love to hate is in one of the worst tailspins we’ve seen in professional sports. The abomination that is the Dallas Cowboys couldn’t have come at a better time as we hit the “Bye-Week Blues” this week.

Eytan Shander: Eagles might be bad, but this team is full of guys worth rooting for

by Eytan Shander

The Eagles are not a good team. They aren’t fun to watch. It’s been difficult this season to understand some of the coaching decisions, as well as some of the throws from the QB. This is not a typical season in a typical year with a typical sense of home field advantage. Nothing is truly normal about anything in our world right now, and the Eagles are far from any exception.

Eytan Shander: Forget being deadline sellers, Eagles must go for division title

by Eytan Shander

Here we are, Eagles fans. Locked in a miserable division and facing a quick turnaround on a short week. It seems like even with Andy Dalton showing his true colors, there is a sense of giving up that’s permeated some of the fanbase. That will not be me. I see no value in tanking – mainly because you can’t tank in the NFL – to improve draft status. Not with this team and certainly not with this current division.

Eytan Shander: If the Eagles can't win the NFC East this year, it's time to pack it in

by Eytan Shander

Let’s stop firing everyone after every loss. I know it’s a huge ask from us, we shoot first and field questions after the fact. Like something out of one of those car insurance commercials, “it’s what we do.” But let’s be fair to the situation at hand, and truly add all of the facts in evidence.

Eytan Shander: Are the Eagles bad, or just injured?

by Eytan Shander

Nobody has any idea what identity the Eagles have, nor what the future holds for this season. Not a single person, including the people responsible for making this machine work.

Eytan Shander: Did we trade an Eagles Super Bowl for every team sucking for years after?

by Eytan Shander

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Phillies signed Bryce Harper to a mega deal, the Philadelphia Flyers finally found their goalie, and the Philadelphia 76ers were set to make multiple deep runs.

Eytan Shander: Face it, Eagles fans: Carson Wentz is a one-hit wonder

by Eytan Shander

The immediate connotation of the phrase "one-hit wonder" is negative. Clearly anyone with only one hit – as amazing as that song may sound – was never talented enough to really do anything with it. While that may be true for the majority of artists who wear that unfortunate title, there are a couple of exceptions who break through, creating a new category – the two- or three-hit wonder.

Eytan Shander: Carson Wentz lacks feel, Doug Pederson outsmarts himself

by Eytan Shander

The Philadelphia Eagles blew a 17-point lead against the Washington Football Team. That’s it. That’s the column. What more do you want me to write? What else is there to really discuss about how brutal of a loss it was? It was the most embarrassing loss of the first week around the entire NFL. Even the Jaguars won!

Eytan Shander: Eagles need Miles Sanders and Jalen Reagor to live up to the hype

by Eytan Shander

There is really no other way to put this — and please know that I get just how absurd it might sound if you say it out loud — but there is a ridiculous amount of pressure on two young Eagles players this season. Yes, ridiculous, and it comes with the threat of a rather large domino effect if one or both can’t live up to the hype. You may think it rather strange to put so much pressure on a rookie wide receiver or a second-year running back, but this is the situation the Eagles have set up, for better or worse.
