By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Staff Writer Former Eagles safety Brian Dawkins has announced his retirement from the NFL after 16 seasons. Shortly before 10 a.m. on Monday morning, Dawkins made his decision known via Twitter stating, The Lord has blessed me to play in the NFL for 16 years. I would like to thank the [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Staff Writer This Week: 2-0-0 Week 13: 9-6-0 Season: 90-76-9 GIANTS (-5.5) over Redskins The Eagles extremely slim playoff hopes now rely on Rex Grossman winning a road divisional game with two backup offensive tackles starting. It’s not going to happen. Packers (-11.5) over CHIEFS The Packers haven’t lost a game [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Staff Writer This Week: 0-1-0 Last Week: 8-5-1 Season: 81-70-9 We’re going with gut instincts this week. That didn’t work too well for Thursday night’s Eagles debacle. As always, home teams in capitals. BILLS (-1) over Titans Buffalo needs to win to save their season (for now) and always plays better [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Editor-at-Large This week: 0-1-0 Last Week: 9-6-1 Season: 73-65-8 My sincere apologies for the lack of detail regarding these quick picks. I’m going with gut feelings across the board this week. Home teams in CAPITALS. DOLPHINS (-3) over Bills It just seems like Buffalo’s season took a major turn for the [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Editor-at-Large Last Week: 6-7-0 Season: 57-52-7 I’ll look to bounce back from a sub .500 performance with a week highlighted by a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. Will the Colts or Dolphins pick up their first wins of the 2011 season? Can Drew Brees and the Saints bounce back from a [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Editor-at-Large Last Week: 8-4-1 Season: 51-45-7 The NFL rounds out the month of October with a strong week of matchups highlighted by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots traveling to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers, and the Eagles and Cowboys matching up in a critical NFC East showdown on [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Editor-at-Large Last Week: 5-6-2 Season: 43-41-6 The Eagles are on the bye and six different quarterbacks around the league are making their first starts for their respective teams. It’s another round of quick picks as I look to build on last week’s sub .500 performance. Home teams in CAPITALS. Buccaneers (+2) [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Editor-at-Large Undisciplined play, poor fundamentals, and questionable decision-making led the Eagles to a disappointing 31-24 loss to the Buffalo Bills. It’s the same story in a different week for the Eagles. They are now 1-4 on the season and continue to sit in the basement of the NFC East. The team [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Editor-at-Large Last Week: 8-5-0 Season: 38-35-4 It’s a critical week for the Philadelphia Eagles if they have any chance to salvage the remainder of the 2011 season. Week 6 presents several strong match-ups highlighted by Tom Brady and the Patriots taking on the Cowboys. We’re going to try something different this [...]
By Mike Lederer, PhilaPhans Editor-at-Large Last Week: 8-7-1 Season: 30-30-4 Through the first month of the season my picks have been nothing more than average. As we head into the month of October will I continue to sit at .500, go on a hot streak, or fall flat on my face? We’ll begin to find [...]
