Birds~69 Posted December 19, 2025 Share Posted December 19, 2025 On this date in the swirling snow of Shibe Park, the Philadelphia Eagles won their first NFL Championship, grinding out a 7–0 victory built on toughness, defense, and pure Philly grit. It wasn’t flashy, it wasn’t easy, but it was everything this city is made of. That frozen December afternoon became the foundation of Eagles football. A reminder that Philly has always earned its greatness the hard way. Fly Eagles Fly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we are the second seed and two home playoff games. Bears final two games: SF, DET Birds final two games: BUF, WASH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeybees show up at the bird feeders often during mild periods in winter. Must be a hint of pollen that draws them in.

Mikeymac5306 Posted December 29, 2025 Share Posted December 29, 2025 For the love of God. This will be a one and done team in the playoffs. How can you play a solid first half only to crawl through the second half and not help your defense? Got damn lucky at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted December 29, 2025 Share Posted December 29, 2025 I had more yards taking my trash to the curb than the Birds had in the second half. I’ll enjoy the win but have serious doubts about any sort of playoff run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't explain the second half and feel confident going into the playoffs. But here we are. Win against Washington next week which should be a given and Bears lose to the Lions.....then we have two home playoff games. (2nd seed) The table is set for them to succeed but man they are wishy-washy at times... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t turn the ball over they win 9 times out 10. It wouldn’t shock me if they repeated or went out in the first round though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Nick is going to hear shit if the eagles lose the second seed because he rested the starters. Bears losing 13-0 (good), Birds down 10-7 (bad). Both games at the half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not common practice. Nick probably thought he could rest the starters and still win w/the backups. Also, showcase McKee who they'll probably entertain trade talks in the offseason. Everything pretty much failed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymac5306 Posted Monday at 01:25 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:25 PM I was there yesterday. It was cold. Backups played like.... backups. No one was really into the game. I seriously hope they are done with Sidney Brown and Keelee Ringo. Two major busts. Another game where the Eagles beat the Eagles. Self-inflicted penalties and sloppy play calling. Gonna be a quick game next week if the play calling is the same. McKee is who he is. Probably would be better with the #1 team but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 49ers are last in the league at generating sacks so Hurts "should" have time. And their run D isn't all that stellar either so Barkley "should" get some yards. If they can't generate points Patullo needs to be canned and the offensive play calling revamped... Birds 3 point favorites... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiEaglesfan712 Posted Monday at 02:41 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:41 PM I'm not really mad about last night's loss. I'd much rather the loss yesterday than next week. If the Eagles had won last night and lost next week, it would have been all for nothing. At least if the Eagles win next week, then everything is forgiven. It's not like we had a perfect home season to defend. (I'm still a bit annoyed that we lost the last game of the 2017 season to the Cowboys before winning Super Bowl LII, but it's been forgiven.) Besides, we kept the 11-win regular season streak alive, and have a chance to tie 2000-04 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say to myself that should have been a home game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted Monday at 04:00 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:00 PM Simple solution, play the Eagles 2nd string offence in the playoffs--they score more than our first string. But play our first string defense. We'd be unstoppable!!! (I kid) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted Monday at 08:24 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:24 PM The 90s really had some historic stuff...perfect storm, march 93, winter 94, blizzard 96, Floyd. I feel like aside from 2016 jan storm what have we really had the past 12 years besides a renegade tornado or 2? Can probably go back to Sandy 2012? I know im drawing a blank and something super obvious but seriously, if im not recalling it then it wasnt memorable like those 90s events. Or im just old as dirt and my memory is shot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
