John McMullen: A ‘calm’ culture changer has Eagles back in postseason

The Eagles are heading to the playoffs, and Jalen Hurts is a big reason why.

Opinion

John McMullen: Giants provide an easy win and a teachable moment

Because there wasn't a lot to learn from an easy 34-10 win against a professional football team actually starting Jake Fromm at quarterback, Sunday was a good opportunity to get into the classroom and both Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts offered up some advanced classes on the quarterback position.

Opinion

John McMullen: The NFL didn't derail the Eagles' season, it saved it

The Eagles were understandably upset Friday when the NFL decided to make a U-turn at their expense (and the Raiders’ and Seahawks’) to postpone games for the first, and likely, last time in the 2021 season. But it might turn out to be for the best.

Opinion

Opinion

John McMullen: Accountability is great for Eagles, production would be better

A funny thing about 5-6 teams who may be starting to think they are a little more than that: reality has a way of punching you squarely in the face.

Opinion

John McMullen: Slow-and-steady Eagles are starting to tick all the playoff boxes

November 15, 2021

Opinion

John McMullen: Things are starting to play out for Eagles QB Jalen Hurts

One week the Eagles can’t possibly move forward with Jalen Hurts as their quarterback and the next Howie Roseman contributed an atrocity that may one day be tried in The Hague by daring to cross the state to kickstart the due diligence on Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett.

Opinion

John McMullen: Justin Herbert shows the Eagles exactly what they're missing

You saw Jalen Hurts at his best during a 27-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. And it wasn't enough.

Opinion

John McMullen: Eagles' rout of Lions was successful but hardly revealing

As far as business trips go, Sunday’s sojourn to Ford Field was as successful as it gets for the Eagles, a 44-6 drubbing of the hapless Detroit Lions.
