ReclinerGM’s ‘Best Guess’ NFL Preview

September 2, 2008 By 6 Comments
Sheldon Brown Levels Reggie Bush

Aside from a couple elite teams, the NFL is generally a crapshoot. With only 16 games, unbalanced scheduling and a plethora of injuries, things hardly ever turn out like they should. All that being said, I'll give it my best shot based on how I think the teams should perform. These predictions are far more thought out and researched than the amount of text would indicate, but writing down everything I think about these teams would result in a far-too-long, far-too-boring post. (Note: I'm on … [Read more...]

Philly Ramblings

February 11, 2008 By 8 Comments

I've been working diligently on my 7-part baseball preview, so I've been a little lazy of late in terms of posting. But unless I want Dannie to take over the blog entirely - I figured I'd spend my 25th birthday with some quick hits on what's on my mind in the Philly and National sports scene. 1. The Big-5 is in trouble - Since the creation of the NCAA tournament, 1 team from the Big-5 + Drexel has made the tournament every single year. Right now, it looks like our best bet is St. Joes, and they … [Read more...]

Can the Eagles contend for a title in ’08? Yes. Maybe.

January 4, 2008 By 12 Comments

The 2007 Eagles team was better than their 8-8 record showed. They had a coach that was seriously distracted much of the year. They lost one game because they couldn't catch a punt. They lost another, because they let the Bears inexplicably drive 97 yards in 1:52. They lost two games on A.J. Feeley interceptions and lost a 5th game when David Akers clanked a 57-yard field goal that had the distance for 67 yards. And yes, they lost a 6th when the absence of William Thomas and Brian Westbrook … [Read more...]

Perfection for the New England Patriots – Not Just Yet!

December 30, 2007 By 2 Comments

After finishing off the New York Giants in similar fashion as they have finished off every other team this year - Brady to Moss - the New England Patriots complete a remarkable 16-0 regular season. Though most consider their achievement the greatest run in NFL history, I see it as the perfect backdrop for the biggest, most pressure-filled football games these players will ever experience. If you thought Saturday night's game was nerve-racking for the Patriots, consider the alternative … [Read more...]

What I Really Want for Christmas

December 23, 2007 By 8 Comments

1. Chad Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, or any other elite WR the Eagles can get their hands on- Plain and simple, Donovan deserves another chance with a quality wide-out. He toiled through Todd Pinkson, Charles Johnson, Torrence Small etc, etc and still led us to playoff wins. The ONE year he had an elite WR, he had 104.7 QB Rating and we went to the Super Bowl, only to lose to a truly great football team. He is better than the majority of NFL QB's and can be spectacular with a game breaking WR. … [Read more...]

Brian Westbrook – The smartest, most unselfish play ever

December 17, 2007 By 5 Comments

In a big win against the hated Dallas Cowboys today, the most spectacular play wasn't a gravity defying TD catch, 95 yard kick return or even an ankle breaking scamper to the end zone. It was the best running back in the 2007 NFL season intentionally falling down at the ½ yard line with no defender in sight to secure a desperately needed win for the Philadelphia Eagles. With just over 2 minutes left in the game and a 4 point lead for the Birds, Brian Westbrook found a crease in the Cowgirls … [Read more...]
