Week 13. Black Out.

Bears are banged up on defense and have built their 8-3 record against a soft schedule. I have the Eagles by two scores … @oliviareiner.bsky.social does not. Our biggest score disagreement of the year, I reckon: www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagle...

DeVonta Smith is good to go, and the rest of the Eagles-Bears injury report: www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagle...

Wrote about football. And people. And the wonderfully weird world of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Happy Thanksgiving. www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

No DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest) as the doors swing open for Eagles practice.

Stacked box percentage, negative yards over expected: Saquon Barkley’s 2025 drop-off in number form www.inquirer.com/eagles/saquo...

Vic Fangio says he expects to have Reed Blankenship available Friday.

Here’s Nick Sirianni on not changing play callers, the five-man front thing, and the penalties: www.inquirer.com/eagles/siria...

Worth noting, given the Drew Mukuba news, that Marcus Epps was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury on Nov. 1. The Eagles have only played three games since then, meaning Epps, even if he were healthy, would not be an option to play Friday.

Saquon Barkley said he’s “in a little funk.” The Eagles lost for a lot of reasons Sunday, but their inability to run certainly showed up again: www.inquirer.com/eagles/saquo...

Drew Mukuba was helped into the Eagles’ locker room by Dom DiSandro and a team trainer. Had his right foot shoeless and didn’t put any pressure on it.

You just can't field a punt that deep.

Eagles failed to score there, but that was a brutal missed call on the DeVonta Smith OPI. Totally killed the drive. Would've been second-and-2 from Dallas' 35-yard line.

That's Michael Carter II in the slot and Cooper DeJean outside. There's your answer on the outside corner depth chart. It's Adoree' Jackson and then Cooper DeJean.

DeVonta Smith is being looked at by trainers on the bench.

“I feel like I am one of the best guys at 50-50 balls,” DeVonta Smith said in Green Bay. “My quarterback says he’s going to give me a chance. I take pride in that, to go make that play for him.” www.inquirer.com/eagles/devon...

CeeDee can hold his liquor, but not always the football.

“I guess Saquon ain’t the same player either then,” A.J. Brown responded Thursday with a laugh when asked what he’d say to the people who think he is declining. Here’s Brown on the offense, the latest drama, and more: www.inquirer.com/eagles/aj-br...

Hello, A.J. Brown. Eagles march 49 yards in seven plays. Brown had three catches for 31 yards and a score.

Jameis forever.

Week 12. @oliviareiner.bsky.social’s birthday party.

Jalyx Hunt was a zero-star recruit out of HS who DoorDashed and took up other jobs to pay for training as he eyed his NFL dream. "If I have to do this, is it really that feasible?" How the former Ivy League safety became an ascending Eagles edge rusher: www.inquirer.com/eagles/jalyx...

The NCAA announced its infractions against Temple related to the gambling investigation. It found that Hysier Miller placed 42 total bets involving Temple basketball (all in parlays), at an average of $11.26 per wager: www.ncaa.org/news/2025/11...

Cam Jurgens took the next step in the concussion protocol by returning to practice. What's waiting for him if he clears? Quinnen Williams: www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagle...

Matt Hodge’s offense is showing, but what about his defense? “Oh, it’s horrible,” Kevin Willard said. Matt? “Work to do.” Like anything else in November, it’s a work in progress, but Wednesday again showed Villanova’s front court versatility: www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

“Lane Johnson is cemented in stone as one of the greats,” Fred Johnson said. “Fred Johnson is still trying to make a name for himself.” Didn’t he do that last year? Fred doesn’t think so, and he wants to make sure he doesn’t leave any meat on the bone: www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagle...

Villanova 70, La Salle 55. The Wildcats are 4-1 and have Old Dominion next Tuesday.

Matt Hodge bookends the first half with threes. He's at 11 points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting performance from the field. Villanova struggled a little with La Salle's zone, but the Wildcats have a 37-28 lead at the break.

No Cam Jurgens (and obviously no Lane Johnson) as the doors open to practice for the first time this week.

High school teammates, friends, and family were in town to watch Quinyon Mitchell's shutout. Good stuff from @inkstainedretch.bsky.social: www.inquirer.com/sports/eagle...

Talked to Jihaad Campbell last week about his lesser role and how he’s handling it. “The opportunity is going to present itself whether I get less snaps or not. It doesn’t matter. What matters is us winning…” he said. The 21-year-old is taking it well: www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagle...

Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin was a surgeon and gynecologist who during the Napoleonic Wars was brought in to help France, which was dealing with a physician shortage. Don't get your foot stuck in the stirrups: www.inquirer.com/eagles/lane-...

The Eagles saw something in Jared Goff’s arm angle. They spent extra time this week working on batting balls. “It just shows you things that we do, things that we practice, it’s not for nothing,” Jordan Davis said. The defensive front wrecked the game: www.inquirer.com/eagles/jorda...

Xzavier Gregory was shot and killed Oct. 11 near Northeast Philadelphia High. His parents want the city to know the vibrant teen behind the headline. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/crime/xzavie...

Light snow is falling here.

Dan Campbell:

Asked Adoree’ Jackson a few weeks ago about the sort of career crossroads he was at. He pointed to his past, how far he has come, and quoted Mike Epps and J. Cole. “Whatever happens this season or going forward, I’m going to be all right.” www.inquirer.com/eagles/adore...

"Go read your fucking book, A.J." -- a fan in front of the press box just now.

Good pressure from Jaelan Phillips, good coverage by Adoree' Jackson, who sort of made up for earlier. From earlier this week on Jackson: www.inquirer.com/eagles/adore...

Yikes. That's gotta be caught by Jameson Williams.

Not going for that is surprising. Dan Campbell is usually pretty aggressive.

Best home anthem of the season.

Week 11. The game everyone wanted in late January.

With the context that that competition has been Queens, Sacred Heart, and Duquesne… Points per possession the last three games for Villanova: 1.343 1.492 1.313 (thru 37min) Kevin Willard is right in that there are some things to clean up defensively, but the offense is cooking.

Co-pilot Cam Jurgens is back in the captain’s chair: www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagle...

I’ve never understood the latte art in an obvious to-go situation. You don’t want to do it, and I’m not going to adequately appreciate it. Let’s stop the charade. Thx.
