According to Philly.com, the soon to be Free Agent and 2011 starting left guard for the Philadelphia Eagles, Evan Mathis, has said he would like to remain a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. Based on the comments that were reported, such as his interest in staying for some cheap food and a small payment (as an obvious joke), it doesn’t look like he is joking about being willing to stay with the Eagles for a discount. However, Mathis played last season on a one-year veterans minimum deal, so even if he says he would be willing to stay with the Eagles for less, the lure of more money often makes NFL players forget what they said, and who can blame them?
Mathis made some quality contributions for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, but given his age and the need for the Eagles to add a true anchor to the offensive line, it’s possible that both Mathis and the Eagles choose to go in different directions when Free Agency starts on March 13th.
With Michael Vick locked up to a rather large contract that isn’t easy for the Eagles to get out of, and with the Eagles still confident in his ability to be their star QB, it is surprising that the Eagles met with Robert Griffin III the other day. With a huge need at linebacker and Vontaze Burfict looking like an ideal fit for the Eagles when they are on the board with the 15th pick, the fact that they even had the desire to meet with Griffin is somewhat puzzling.
Perhaps the Eagles just don’t want to leave any stone unturned, or perhaps something big is going on behind the scenes and Vick may be on his way out after struggling to make it through a season two years in a row, or perhaps they Eagles were just spying on Griffin because they think the Redskins may get him. Whatever motivated the Eagles to talk with Griffin, it has to make you ask the question, what was the Eagles interest in Robert Griffin III?

The Eagles are still alive. McCoy and Vick led the Eagles to a win at home vs. the NY Jets. The jets were on a 3 game winning streak but that was stopped thanks to a dominant performance all around from the Eagles. The Eagles got off to a quick start and never really looked back.
After getting a big lead early the Jets did show a little rally but they never really got fully into this one. Holmes had a TD for the Jets but didn’t really have a great game. It was just a flat performance from the Jets who now are going to have a lot of pressure to win the last 2 games. Ironically enough the Eagles will actually be rooting for the Jets next week.
The Jets will play the Giants on Christmas Eve. The Eagles need help. They need the Giants and Cowboys to lose. But this win keeps them in the hunt. We can start talking more specific scenarios next week if everything falls into place and the Eagles are still alive going into the Finale.
The Eagles kept their very slim playoff hopes alive Sunday by beating the Dolphins. The Eagles D played like most people thought they would all year. They forced 3 turnovers and shut down the Fins. Vick had a strong game back after missing the last 3 with the rib injury. The Eagles are now 5-8 with the win.
With the loss the Dolphins now drop to 4-9. They finally fired head Coach Tony Sparano, who had been on the hot seat much of the season. Next week the Eagles will host the NY Jets. The Jets have been playing good lately and will also be fighting for a playoff spot. It should be a good game and one both teams desperately will need. The Eagles are now 5-8 with the win.
Mashawn Lynch had a huge game for the Seahawks as they beat the Eagles. The final from Seattle was 31-14. The Eagles just had no answer for lynch, he ran all over Philly’s D.
Vince young did not help the eagles much. He had 4 picks. Hawthorne returned 1 for a TD. McCoy had both TDs for the Eagles. The Eagles now drop to 4-8. The best the dream team can do now is finish .500 but that’s not going to happen. The Dream team will have a losing season.
On what was basically the Eagles last chance to save their season, things couldn’t have gone much worse. The Eagles lost at home again to the Pats in what was a rematch from the 200 super bowl. The Eagles were without Michael Vick again who is also expected to miss next week’s game also.
The eagles got off to a quick start and took an early lead but the Patriots quickly regained control and cruised to a 38-20 Victory. Vince young stepped in for Vick and wasn’t terrible but he just wasn’t enough. The Eagles have been terrible at home and they let Andy Reid know they were not happy. Chants of “Fire Andy” could be heard from the stands.
