Philadelphia Eagles content, news, and analysis from Inside The Star.
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 …
Eagles Nation, tell me, please: What’s it like to have a front office that actually seems to know what it’s doing? While the Cowboys appeared to be throwing darts at the wall and picking whoever the dart hit on the final day of the draft, the rest of the NFC East got a lot better. Six …
As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, pro days and 30 visits are in abundance while teams and draft prospects prepare for the big day. The Dallas Cowboys are the team that perhaps relies more on the NFL Draft than any other team for the development of their roster. Jerry Jones and the rest of the front …
It really galls me to say it – and there’s still a lot of things that can happen to change this – but when it comes to the NFC East in 2024 this appears to be true: The Philadelphia Eagles – if the season were to start today – will win the NFC East in 2024. …
The Dallas Cowboys are going to be seeing a familiar face twice a year next season. Kellen Moore was hired as the Eagles offensive coordinator Saturday night. Former Cowboys OC Kellen Moore is taking over the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense https://t.co/qBJr4M7iAl— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) January 28, 2024 Moore spent last season as the OC for the Los …
I’m sure I wasn’t the only person on the brink of being rushed off to the emergency room Saturday night. The Dallas Cowboys escaped – and no, there is no other term to use here – with a 20-19 win over Detroit. The Lions had three shots to win. Somehow, Dallas dodged all three bullets. Lions’ …
The Cowboys could have put an end to the “they can’t beat winning teams on the road” narrative on Sunday. They could have put a lot of pressure on the Eagles going into their Monday matchup with the Giants. But they did neither. Dallas let the Dolphins off the hook, losing 22-20 on a last-second field …
What a glorious Monday morning #CowboysNation woke up to yesterday. The sun was shining. The birds were chirping (not those; they were crying). Our Dallas Cowboys find themselves with a 10-3 record, leaders of the NFC East, and the second seed in the NFC. Yes, the Cowboys defended their home field, and what a way to …
