Eagles - Team History
Philadelphia Eagles, professional football team and one of five teams
in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC)
of the National Football League (NFL). The Eagles play at Veterans
Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and wear uniforms of green,
silver, black, and white. The team began play in 1924 as the Frankford
(Pennsylvania) Yellow Jackets. Owners Bert Bell and Lud Wray moved
the team to Philadelphia in 1933 and changed its name to the Eagles
after the symbol of the National Recovery Administration, which had
been created as part of the New Deal.
The Eagles captured
three NFL titles from 1948 to 1960, earning consecutive crowns in
1948 and 1949 under head coach Earle “Greasy” Neale.
His potent offensive squad starred future Hall of Fame members end
Pete Pihos, halfback Steve Van Buren, and center Chuck Bednarik,
who also played linebacker for the defensive unit.
Led by wide
receiver Harold Carmichael and quarterback Ron Jaworski, Philadelphia
played in Super Bowl XV in 1981 but lost to the Oakland Raiders.
The club qualified for the playoffs six times from 1988 to 1996,
with lineups starring wide receiver Fred Barnett, quarterback Randall
Cunningham, running backs Herschel Walker and Ricky Watters, and
defensive end Reggie White.
In 1933 Bert
Bell and Lud Wray bought the NFL’s Frankford Yellow Jackets
and moved the team to Philadelphia. Renamed the Eagles, the club
struggled, posting losing records in each of its first ten seasons.
By the mid-1940s,
however, the Eagles had improved. From 1947 to 1949, Greasy Neale
piloted the club to three consecutive Eastern Division crowns and
two league titles. Steve Van Buren, a mainstay of these teams, captured
three of his four NFL rushing titles from 1947 to 1949. Pete Pihos
led the league in receptions three times during his career and in
receiving yards twice. Chuck Bednarik missed just three games in
14 seasons in Philadelphia.
After posting
five losing records in the 1950s, the Eagles won their third NFL
crown in 1960. Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, playing his final
season, was named the league’s most valuable player (MVP)
after passing for nearly 2500 yards. Van Brocklin’s favorite
targets, wide receivers Tommy McDonald and Pete Retzlaff, helped
Philadelphia rally to defeat the Green Bay Packers in the championship
game.
In 1961 Van
Brocklin was replaced at quarterback by another eventual Hall of
Fame member, Sonny Jurgensen. In his first full season Jurgensen
threw for a league-record 3723 yards, breaking the previous mark
by more than 600 yards. (The record is now held by Dan Marino of
the Miami Dolphins, who threw for 5084 yards in 1984.) Nearly a
third of Jurgensen’s yards went to McDonald, who led the league
in yardage (1144) and touchdowns (13).
From 1962 through
1977 Philadelphia employed six different head coaches, but the team
could not remain an NFL force. Although the Eagles boasted individual
stars in running back Timmy Brown, wide receiver Harold Jackson,
quarterback Roman Gabriel, and linebacker Bill Bergey, the Eagles
did not reach the playoffs until 1978, Dick Vermeil’s second
year as head coach.
From 1978 to
1981 Vermeil guided the Eagles to four consecutive playoff appearances.
In 1981 the team advanced to the Super Bowl, where they lost to
the Oakland Raiders 27-10.
After a six-year
playoff drought, Philadelphia qualified for the postseason four
times from 1988 to 1992. Guided by former Chicago Bears defensive
coordinator Buddy Ryan, the Eagles developed a slashing offense
centered around Randall Cunningham, who became a skilled passer
and also emerged as one of the greatest running quarterbacks in
NFL history. Cunningham was the Eagles’ top rusher each year
from 1987 to 1990; in 1990 he threw for 30 touchdowns and rushed
for more than 1000 yards. Under head coach Ray Rhodes, Philadelphia
earned Wild Card berths in the playoffs in 1995 and 1996.

XV Lost to Oakland Raiders, 27-10

The Arizona Cardinals have traded starting guard Reggie Wells to the Philadelphia Eagles for an undisclosed draft pick. Wells had started the last 90 games for Arizona, dating to the 2003 season, as well as the team's six postseason games, but was moved from left guard to right guard this year following the signing of free agent Alan Faneca.
<p>Somebody asked Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott the other day whether his defense has looked better this summer than it did last year.</p>
<p>"At which point last year?" McDermott asked with a laugh. "You know, there's a number of new faces, and it's one thing to look good in preseason, and it's another to look good throughout each and every week of a 16-game schedule. So we still have a lot of work to do. And the players know that more than anybody."</p> <p>Beset by injuries and the departure of seven-time Pro Bowl free safety Brian Dawkins, McDermott's unit struggled last season, giving up 27 touchdown passes and holding just two of their final 12 opponents to less than 20 points.</p> <p>But head coach Andy Reid and general manager Howie Roseman made some key offseason...
First, no Ben Roethlisberger. Now, maybe no Byron Leftwich for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dennis Dixon, you're up next. Leftwich, expected to be the fill-in starter for the suspended Roethlisberger at quarterback for the Steelers, sprained his left knee in the second quarter as Pittsburgh (3-1) beat the starter-less Carolina Panthers 19-3 in the preseason finale Thursday night.
A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the NFC East: Dallas Cowboys 1. Lack of touchdowns. The first-string offense has scored only one offensive TD in 12 possessions — an 8-yard drive set up by a turnover — and has shown little production rushing or passing. Obviously, they don't do much game-planning or sophisticated play-calling in preseason, but they didn't do it last year, either, but were a lot more productive in preseason.
With the controversy swirling ahead of him on the Arizona quarterback depth chart, Max Hall wrapped up his preseason with a big night. The undrafted rookie from BYU completed 7 of 9 passes for 126 yards and scored on a 6-yard run in the Cardinals' 20-10 victory Thursday night over Washington. Hall directed Arizona to two TDs and a field goal in his three possessions.
Michael Vick has reached the point in his comeback where he doesn't have to prove himself anymore. The New York Jets beat Philadelphia 21-17 in their preseason finale Thursday night, while Vick led the Eagles to a field goal in two series and Kurt Coleman scored on two fumble returns. Making his first start in four years, Vick played just one quarter before heading to the bench.
While the Green Bay Packers try to do their best New Orleans Saints impersonation, here are six more potential doppelgangers to watch: ... Miles Austin? Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers. Now a starter, he has the hands, speed and big-play ability to have a Pro Bowl breakthrough in his second year. "With Hines Ward working the other side, he steps into the role that Santonio Holmes had, stretching the field as a deep threat," former Steelers coach Bill Cowher said.
WASHINGTON - The NFL players' union is looking into whether trades made by four teams this week are attempts to avoid paying money into a rookie pool.
The NFL players' union is looking into whether trades made by four teams this week are attempts to avoid paying money into a rookie pool, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the union has not made the probes public, said the NFL Players Association is reviewing trades made by the Washington...
What Sporting News' NFC East correspondents learned during training camp and the preseason about the teams they cover: DALLAS COWBOYS 1. LT Doug Free has answered the call. All indications are he will be able to handle the spot Flozell Adams filled for nearly a decade. Free is tough and athletic, which means the coaches can use him to pull and open up their perimeter running game. They couldn’t do that last season because Adams wasn’t athletic enough anymore.
PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed defensive end Pannel Egboh off waivers from Houston and placed rookie defensive Ricky Sapp on injured reserve.
The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed defensive end Pannel Egboh off waivers from Houston and placed rookie defensive Ricky Sapp on injured reserve. Egboh signed with San Francisco as a rookie free agent last year after playing four seasons at Stanford, but was cut by the 49ers in September. He spent the final four weeks of last season on Houston's practice squad.
