Film breakdown: Eagles-Lions officials could have called five different penalties on 'No. 98'

by Jimmy Kempski

Remember when the officials called #98 for being illegally downfield near the end of the second quarter of the Eagles-Lions game on Sunday, and then they just didn't enforce it, without making any sort of announcement? Yeah, there was a good reason for that.

Eagles-Lions Week 5 inactives, with analysis

by Jimmy Kempski

As we noted earlier this week, with the Philadelphia Eagles coming off their super-early bye week, the Birds enter their Week 5 game in Detroit against the Lions with just one injury to report. That was Bennie Logan, who will play with a calf injury. The Lions, on the other hand, come into this matchup very banged up.

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Lions in Detroit today, where they were absolutely obliterated last year on Thanksgiving. The Birds are playing far better than they were this time last year, and will face a Lions team that has been ravaged by injuries to key players.

Doug Pederson views Chase Daniel as something of an extra assistant coach

by Jimmy Kempski

Chase Daniel's shaky preseason performances didn't do much to lower the eyebrows of skeptics who wondered why the Eagles paid him the way they did. If the Eagles paid Daniel essentially like the best backup quarterback in the league because they though he was the best backup quarterback, skill-wise, that was a mistake. However, the intangibles that Daniel brings to the table may make him worth the investment, solely for his influence on rookie Carson Wentz.
