Philadelphia Eagles content, news, and analysis from Inside The Star.
Somewhere in the general area of Washington D.C., Dan Quinn is probably still smiling. Somehow, with a rebuilt offense and defense, a new coaching staff, and a rookie starting quarterback Quinn has the Washington Commanders at 2-1. They are also tied for first place in the NFC East. The cherry on top of the parfait is …
Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season has now come and gone after QB Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons spoiled the Philadelphia Eagles homecoming with an improbable touchdown drive with less than two minutes left in regulation. It was just one example of several surprising outcomes in week 2, and it is also another example …
It was a crazy week in the NFL’s second week of the 2024 season. It may take a few days to find a proper description for the NFC East’s second week of play. The Dallas Cowboys came into the week looking for a 2-0 start and got run out of their own building. The Philadelphia Eagles …
The race for the NFC East division champion has officially begun. Buckle up, it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride. It also looks like it’s going to be a two-horse race. The Cowboys trounced the Cleveland Browns – mostly due to their defense showing up, while the Browns’ vaunted defense looked like a …
Welcome to the final installment of my Dallas Cowboys season predictions series. Three quarters of the way through the season, the Cowboys will have the NFC East title and a top seed in the NFC in their sights. Big wins over the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, and Cincinnati Bengals put the league on notice after many …
We are one day away from the start of the 2024 NFL season in Kansas City. The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens on a special edition of Thursday Night Football. It’s the season of predictions, and today my predictions of how the Dallas Cowboys regular season will play out continues. If …
The NFC East’s season kicks off tonight when the Eagles host the Packers at 7:15 p.m. Fortunately for me, since I don’t have a Peacock subscription, I don’t have to watch it. But it does mean it’s time for my final prediction post for the upcoming NFC East season. The Cowboys (at Cleveland), the Giants (vs. …
The NFC East nearly went 0-4 in the final week of the 2024 preseason on Sunday. Ironically, it was a former Cowboys player who did it. And he was playing for one of the Cowboys’ division rivals. Martavis Bryant’s four-yard touchdown reception with three minutes left capped the Washington Commanders’ 20-10 win over the Patriots in …
After the first half of the Cowboys-Raiders preseason game on Saturday, it looked like the word of the week was going to be: Anemic. Because the NFC East was looking pretty anemic when it came to the scoreboard in the second week of preseason play. Philadelphia managed only 14 points in their win – needing to …
The first full week of the NFL preseason is in the books. The NFC East exited the week with a 2-2 record. With the lone exception of Washington, most of the expected starters at nearly all of the skill positions rode the bench. That trend is likely to continue into the second week. None of the …
I love NFL football. Specifically, I love Dallas Cowboys football. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to sit down five times a week to write about my favorite team. When I started playing tackle football in junior high, the coaches chose me to quarterback the defense as the free safety making the pre-snap calls. That …
This is the final weekend before the NFL season starts to roll around, and we can leave the non-football portion of our summer behind us. We can all look forward to seeing the Cowboys take the field for 2024 after yet another disappointing playoff exit. This time, it was an embarrassing 48-32 beat down at the …
This point in the NFL offseason is the season of lists and rankings. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the sports universe is using the absence of football for the impossible task of ranking players. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler is currently in the middle of a series where several NFL executives, coaches, and scouts are voting for …
When you step back and think about it, it’s really unfair how harshly NFL general managers are judged when it comes to team-building skills. There are so many variables that need to be taken into account. Some teams constantly make sure their offense maintains top-tier talent, i.e. the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles. Other teams prioritize …
There has not been a division in football that has had more turnover than the NFC East in the last 20 years. The talk of the summer has been how bad the Cowboys front office is, the contract situations with CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, followed by Micah Parsons’ comments on Twitter. I know I have …
The 2023 Dallas Cowboys schedule saw seven matchups with postseason teams, and to say they struggled in those seven critical games is an understatement. Dallas went 3-5 in total, including that embarrassing playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. This trend has stuck around for the Cowboys in recent years. The Cowboys beat up on the …
When it comes to coaching staffs in the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys have arguably the best overall among the top three positions. Mike McCarthy has won a Super Bowl and has led Dallas to three straight 12–5 seasons. Of the division’s head coaches, he’s the only one with a ring. Washington’s Dan Quinn led the …
Every team in the NFC East shares one thing in common — they will start the 2024 season with different offensive lines than those with which they ended the 2023 season. All four teams in the NFL’s NFC East division have large question marks hanging overhead as the season begins. How these changes, in particular, play …
For the most part, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles have the best rooms at every position in the NFC East. This fact is never more apparent than when the four teams’ receivers rooms are examined. And the difference between Dallas and Philadelphia in this case is razor-thin. At least it was through the 2023 season. …
The Dallas Cowboys will not encounter the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024 until the 10th week. They will meet again in Week 17. Last year they played in Week 9 and again in Week 14 and somehow the Cowboys overcame an early division lead by the Eagles. This year they might go into the first matchup fighting …
At the beginning of the month I wrote a pre-draft/free agency prediction post regarding the NFC East. For those of you not wanting to jump over and review it the gist of it was that the Eagles were predicted to win the division in 2024. The Cowboys were in second, just barely above .500. The Giants …
