Heartbreaking playoff loss doesn't hurt so bad anymore

Usually a Philadelphia Eagles playoff loss like this to the heavily-favored New Orleans Saints would crush our spirits. But winning a Super Bowl dulls the pain, especially given we thought the season was over time after time. This also ends the great QB debate of St. Nick vs. Acne Red-neck Wentz. We discuss the rough loss to end the season, take credit for alerting the world to Carson's puberty affliction, reflect upon the wild season that was, remember Eagles that were lost to injury and give o...

Double Doinkin’ to New Orleans

The miracle ride of the Philadelphia Eagles continues after St. Nick delivers yet again in the playoffs in dramatic fashion - Matt and Amanda (minus little bro GT, who is gallivanting across Europe) dissect the Wentz vs. Foles debate, debate a fun would you rather, and continue to appreciate this very un-Philly good fortune.

Yet another Foles resurrection

Nick "Nicola" Foles shepherds another miracle as the Eagles upset the heavily favored Rams 30-23. At long last, everything breaks Doug Pederson's and the Eagles way. The siblings Graham debate if Eagles fans have been too hard on Dougie P., the outside lane the Eagles must master to sneak into the playoffs, the fate of Carson Wentz and Foles, and the slimmest of slim chances that St. Nicola pulls off another Eli Manning miracle to the Super Bowl. Plus an insider's take on offensive line play fro...

The great Carson debate of 2018

Forget the crushing defeat to the Dallas Cowboys. Matt goes on his usual rant about Carson Wentz's disappointing 2018 campaign after the news he's possibly out for the season. All siblings discuss who's to blame. Did he come back too soon? Is his knee still the issue and not the mystery back injury? Is he still elite? Plus, the best and worst of Christmas music and our typical musings on this season of Survivor.

Winning never felt so dirty

The Philadelphia Eagles put away the third-string Washington Redskins in underwhelming fashion 28-13, dispatching the timeless Mark Sanchez. All three Graham siblings return to express muted enthusiasm and re-open the evergreen debate of Carson Wentz's proficiency. GT debunks the fabled Reich hypothesis. And never immune to superficial criticism, we explore the psychological ramifications of chronic acne to on-field performance. Plus an early prognostication for the Eagles upcoming duel against ...

So you're saying there's a chance

Amanda and GT take the reins with Matt sidelined in New York. After meandering through discussions of NSYNC's Christmas Album and Father of the Bride: Part 2, we eventually circle back to the unimpressive Philadelphia Eagles and their unconvincing 25-22 victory against the New York Giants. Doug Pederson finally invokes the offensive gameplan of Ray Didinger and all old men in Philadelphia: Running the ball 100% of the time. But what does it all mean? Will the Eagles climb the dung hill erstwhile...

Patrick Mahomes > Donovan McNabb > Carson Wentz

All hope for the season is lost, right? In spirt yes...but mathematically no. The brothers Graham discuss the Eagles unending woes and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Frank Reich is the missing ingredient. Plus we reopen the great quarterback debate, measuring Carson Wentz against Donovan McNabb, Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes. We also explore the relationship between quarterback success and coaching and redefine success for the Eagles debacle of a season.

Goodbye playoffs

The Eagles all but squander their playoff hopes in a 27-20 loss to the chronically unimpressive Dallas Cowboys. We dig deep into their woeful offensive performance this season and wonder if Dougie P. has lost the edge without Frank Reich in his advisory council. Plus Matt blames Carson for everything... again... revealing a probable past encounter or blood feud that can't be explained. Amanda talks about baking shows, I talk about "Outlaw King" and we all talk about "Survivor" as therapy for a d...

Phights & Phun in foggy London

Ye olde Philadelphia Eagles journeyed to England and vanquished Sir Blake of Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-18. We reflect on Matt's journey to Britain where he tells the lamest fight story ever told, the Eagles fans taking over London and how they compare to their European NFL counterparts & handout midseason report cards. We then turn to the future, lay down predictions for the final 8 games and heatedly debate Carson Wentz's blame in the debacles of 2018, not to mention his postg...

Wentz chokes like McNabb in his choking prime

Sure the defense collapsed after being up 17-0 in the 4th quarter for a crushing 21-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers. But Wentz had them on the doorstep and choked. The siblings Graham get into a heated argument on who's to blame more, and whether our savior Carson Wentz is truly elite. Plus does Jim Schwartz need an intervention? Are the Eagles screwed for the playoffs? How can Dougie P turn this god-forsaken ship around? And is Jesus mad at Carson too? Also, a strange interlude about terrible ...

Wentz vs. Mahomes - who you got?

Carson Wentz looked like his elite old self after trouncing the New York Giants. We get into what the Eagles must do to truly be contenders, how they can pretty much only lose one more game starting with back-to-back Cat-themed teams, and debate if we would give up our savior Wentz for the dreamy Patrick Mahomes. In fact, this might turn into a weekly segment along with "Advanced Stats Corner."

Oct 17, 201826 min

Carson and Doug, why have you forsaken us?

The hapless Philadelphia Eagles harken back to the days of Andy Reid with another 23-21 loss at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings. Squandered opportunities. Senseless self destruction. Who shoulders the blame? Is this the end? Is Zack Ertz the best looking tight end of all time? Plus where the Eagles stack up according to stats nerds after week 5, the sorry state of the NFC East and Thursday night predictions against the New York Giants.

How bad is the Eagles 2-2 start?

The Siblings Graham return in week 4 to mourn the Philadelphia Eagles crushing 26-23 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans and their pedestrian 2-2 start. Plus perspective on the Eagles homebody defense, the regression in offense , Wentz’s performance so far, 1st quarter report cards, advanced metrics, and the return of our mother's wrath.

Oct 04, 201827 min

Even our savior Carson can't solve the ugly

The Philadelphia Eagles eek out a 20-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the slop. And Carson Wentz conjures up the spirit of Houdini (as every sportscaster nauseatingly tells us), and looks rusty all at the same time. We break it all down, then The Siblings Graham get to the good stuff - each quarterback's facial features, the need for a dermatology consult, some football here and there, prospects in Tennessee and the dangerous coffee shops of Santa Monica.

Ugly Tampa Bay loss but beautiful Wentz return

Apologies for technical difficulties, but better late than never, right?! What in tarnation happened in Tampa after the Philadelphia Eagles' disappointing loss to the Buccaneers, 27-21? Plus the return of Nick Foles' brother in the Lord Carson Wentz, thoughts on the Indianapolis Colts game and ridiculously early season predictions. Also, a strange interlude where we discuss the Emmys. And more! (Apologies, this was recorded before the Jordan Matthews.)

Eagles win ugly in week 1... and that’s OK!

The siblings Graham discuss the Philadelphia Eagles ugly 18-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Topics include - SB bliss lasted less than one game, do Eagles fans have a right to boo so early, is the “Philly Special” Bud Light statue tacky, do we have any sense of this team’s identify yet, and what does a successful season look like?

The Curse is Over- Super Bowl Champs!

Mom joins us to bask in the glory of the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl victory. Matt was at the game. Mom freaked out. And GT brings his comedic insights throughout. We go through our roller coaster of emotions in the 4th quarter (07:18), why we were so wrong about Doug Pederson and Nick Foles (15:15), why being an underdog was truly an advantage (18:10), what do we do with Philly hero and SB MVP Nick Foles (20:00), and final thoughts from a magical season (26:00). And please show your brotherl...

Mom + Eagles SB = CTR Gold

Mom comes on to talk about crying throughout the NFC Championship game, why we should hate Tom Brady because of his luscious hair, why this is our favorite Eagles team, and why she thinks the Eagles will win! Show us some brotherly love by leaving us a review.

Cursed Franchises Collide

Our mom joins the podcast to tell us how she almost killed our dad watching the dramatic final stop against the Falcons. Then we debate which teams is more cursed, the Philadelphia Eagles or the Minnesota Vikings. (Thanks to @RandBall for the great numbers: http://m.startribune.com/is-it-possible-eagles-fans-have-suffered-more-than-vikings-fans/469723003/). And finally, we give our humorous predictions. And if you want the Eagles “Underdogs” @breakingtco that we reference in this podcast , look ...

A Playoff Win for the Ages

Philadelphia Eagles fans have to be euphoric after the dramatic 4th down stop to beat the Atlanta Falcons 15-10. We’re still coming down from the high as we discuss all of the highs and lows with our sister. Nick Foles stepping up. Doug Pederson’s masterful play calling. Fletcher Cox’s dominating performance. Next up... the NFC Championship game!

Does Any Eagles Fan Believe?

13-3 Never Felt So Wrong

Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles looked pathetic again in the 6-0 defeat to the listless Dallas Cowboys in the bitter cold at the Linc. We discuss whether the Eagles should start Nate Sudfeld (aka Studfeld) and why it could be a good thing that there are now no expectations that the Eagles can make the Super Bowl.

This is a No. 1 Seed?

Nick Foles Delivers, Defense Does Not

The Philadelphia Eagles survive to beat the New York Giants 34-29. The defense stunk (00:30). Nick Foles was great (02:50). Doug Peterson continues to prove he’s a good coach (06:00). We then get into “The Ray Didinger Impact Play of the Game (10:00)”, the negatives (umm, the defense-11:40), the positives (Foles of course, but there were others-18:15). And then we close it out to commend the resiliency of this team and discuss who scares us most in the NFC (25:00).

Carson Wentz Nightmare Injury

Of course we talk about the most likely season-ending injury to Carson Wentz. Simply put, it’s devastating. How will we cope? And is there any hope for this season now?

Pathetic Loss Out West

The Philadelphia Eagles forgot to show up against the Seattle Seahawks and deserved to lose 24-10. We talk about why it was pathetic (00:15). Then we get into the two crazy “Ray Didinger Impact Plays of the game”- the Wentz fumble and the Pederson non-challenge, all the negatives from the loss (08:00), leading with Pederson and Wentz, and any possible silver linings (20:15) moving forward.

Bring On the Seahawks and Prince Harry

We bring on diehard Seattle Seahawk fan Dr. Mason Oltman to discuss this week’s big matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Topics include: whether the “12th Man” is overrated (01:30), Russell “Hustle and Bustle” Wilson (05:00), why the defense is more than the “Legion of Boom” (09:00), and the crazy Vegas line for this game (11:00). Then we bring on our mom to discuss who’s better looking- Carson Wentz or Prince Harry (15:00), the Eagles’ dancing (18:45), and she predicts when the Eagles will los...

Shut Up and Tote the Ball!

We get right into it with the Ray Didinger and Jay Ajayi controversy. Then we get into how the Philadelphia Eagles are winning so boringly easily, the latest victim being the Chicago Bears, 31-3 (03:00). And it’s insane to think Carson Wentz is ahead of Tom Brady for most TDs (05:00). Then we discuss some concerns (07:00) and whether the TD celebrations/Electric Slide are over the line (14:00) or are just plain fun. Finally, it’s our new weekly segment, who could ruin our Super Bowl dreams (18:0...

A Tale of Two Halves

The Philadelphia Eagles scored 30 unanswered in the second half to crush the Dallas Cowboys 37-9. We get into Carson Wentz’s mediocre performance and why that’s a silver lining (02:00), his concussion scare (03:45), and whether he’s better than Dak Prescott (11:00). Then we get into the “Ray Didinger Impact Play of the Game” (12:00), our pleasant surprises (14:45), and the biggest threats to our Super Bowl dream (22:10).
