In a thrilling week 2 showdown, the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the New England Patriots in a game that kept fans on the edge of their seats. The Eagles, determined to build on their season opener, clawed their way back to tie the game in the fourth quarter, only to suffer a heartbreaking loss in overtime. Despite the 47-41 defeat, several Eagles players showcased their talents and left a lasting impression.
QB Mark Sanchez: The Air Commander

He racked up a staggering 436 yards and threw 5 touchdown passes without a single interception, finishing with an impressive 141.7 QBR. Back-to-back standout performances from Sanchez prove that he is ready to lead this team to glory, even if luck wasn’t on their side this week.
WR Stefon Diggs: The Deep Threat
WR Stefon Diggs was a force of nature on the field, showing that he can be the driving force behind the Eagles' offense. Diggs hauled in 9 receptions for an astonishing 233 yards and 2 touchdowns. His longest catch, a jaw-dropping 71-yard touchdown, demonstrated his ability to make big plays and electrify the crowd. Diggs was the spark plug the Eagles needed, and his performance was nothing short of heroic.
TE Tyler Higbee: The Red Zone Titan
TE Tyler Higbee proved to be an essential weapon in the red zone, turning short receptions into crucial points. With 4 catches for 18 yards, Higbee might not have racked up the yards, but his 2 touchdowns were pivotal in keeping the Eagles in the game. Higbee’s knack for finding the end zone made him a reliable target when it mattered most.
K Eddie Pineiro: The Perfect Kicker
K Eddie Pineiro continued his flawless kicking streak, going 2 for 2 on field goals and 5 for 5 on extra points. Pineiro’s consistency is a bright spot for the Eagles, as he seamlessly converts his opportunities, solidifying his transformation into a top-tier professional kicker.
MLB Nick Kwiatkowski: The Tackling Machine
MLB Nick Kwiatkowski led the defensive charge with 9 tackles and 2 tackles for loss. Kwiatkowski’s relentless pursuit and hard-hitting style have made him the team’s tackle leader this season. His performance against the Patriots highlighted his critical role in the Eagles' defense and left fans excited for what’s to come.
Richard Sherman: The Secondary General
CB Richard Sherman once again anchored the Eagles' secondary, showcasing his veteran prowess. Sherman tallied 7 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 2 deflections, proving to be a formidable opponent for any receiver daring to enter his territory. Sherman’s leadership and playmaking ability were evident as he commanded the backfield.
Though the Eagles fell short in overtime, the fight and resilience they displayed give hope for the season ahead. With standout performances from Sanchez, Diggs, Higbee, Pineiro, Kwiatkowski, and Sherman, the Eagles have a strong foundation to build upon. Next week, they’ll be looking to turn their fortunes around and secure a victory. Fly, Eagles, Fly! |

IASIP Week 1 - Eagles Soar in Season Opener |
The Philadelphia Eagles took to the field with a lot to prove in their season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fresh off a disappointing 3-14 season, the team was eager to change the narrative and showcase their retooled roster in front of a home crowd. The energy at Lincoln Financial Field was electric as fans hoped for a glimpse of a brighter season ahead. And they were not disappointed. The Eagles secured a hard-fought 24-17 victory, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting season. Here’s a closer look at the heroes of the game who made this victory possible.
QB Mark Sanchez:
Sanchez stepped onto the field like a man on a mission, silencing doubters with an impressive performance. Completing 9 of 14 passes for a 64.3% completion rate, he racked up 188 yards and threw 2 touchdowns with zero interceptions, achieving a stellar 147.3 QBR. Sanchez’s leadership and precision were a perfect start to the season, hinting at his potential to lead the team to new heights.
HB Tony Pollard:
First-round rookie Tony Pollard burst onto the scene, giving the Eagles’ run game the spark it desperately needed. With 24 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown, Pollard averaged an impressive 5.38 yards per carry. This muscular performance not only electrified the fans but also showed what this young back is capable of in the NFL.
TE Tyler Higbee:
Higbee proved to be a reliable target for Sanchez, catching 5 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. Leading all Eagles receivers, Higbee demonstrated his potential to build upon last season’s success, where he finished with 8 touchdowns. His performance was a testament to his skill and readiness to be a key player in the Eagles' offense.
WR Michael Crabtree:
The renaissance of Michael Crabtree began with a bang. After an extended stint in Seattle, Crabtree’s first game as an Eagle was marked by a spectacular 53-yard reception that set the tone for his season. With 2 receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown, Crabtree showed that he still has the playmaking ability to make a significant impact.
Offensive Line:
Despite playing musical chairs with several veteran linemen, the Eagles’ offensive line held strong. LG D.J. Fluker, RG Clint Boling, and RT Nate Solder led the charge with 7 and 8 pancakes individually, protecting Sanchez and opening up lanes for Pollard. Their solid performance was crucial in maintaining the momentum of the offense.
K Eddie Pinerio:
Pinerio is a new man this season, and he proved it by delivering perfection on special teams. He was flawless, going 1/1 on field goals and 3/3 on extra points. Pinerio's newfound confidence and consistency are poised to be a significant asset for the Eagles this year.
CB Richard Sherman:
Leading the defense, Sherman was a force to be reckoned with. He racked up 9 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and a deflection, showing his experience and leadership. Sherman’s ability to lock down receivers and make critical stops was evident throughout the game, reinforcing the strength of the Eagles' rebuilt secondary.
MLB Nick Kwiatkoski:
Kwiatkoski, entering his second year as the starting middle linebacker, made a statement. He recorded 6 tackles, 1 deflection, and an interception, proving that he is back and better than ever after last year’s injury. His interception was a game-changer, showcasing his ability to make crucial plays when it matters most.
CB Joe Haden:
Another veteran addition to the defense, Haden showed he still has plenty left in the tank. With 4 tackles, 3 deflections, and an interception, Haden’s savvy and experience were on full display. His performance was a key factor in shutting down Tampa Bay’s passing attack.
OLB Ryan Connelly:
Rookie starter Ryan Connelly made his presence known with 2 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 2 deflections. Going up against Tampa Bay’s powerful running backs, Connelly showed he’s ready to step up and fill a critical role in the Eagles’ defense.
In a thrilling season opener, the Eagles not only claimed victory but also laid the groundwork for a season filled with promise and potential. With standout performances from both seasoned veterans and promising rookies, Philadelphia is poised to make a significant impact this year. Fly Eagles Fly! |

9 Players to Redeem the Eagles in 2019 |
Get ready, Eagles fans! The 2019 season is set to be an electrifying ride as we showcase a roster brimming with talent and untapped potential. From the unstoppable force of tight end Tyler Higbee, who's eyeing his best season yet, to the explosive rookie HB Tony Pollard, ready to light up the NFC East, we've got players who are destined to leave a mark. Veteran QB Mark Sanchez is geared up for a comeback, determined to lead us beyond last year's challenges, while sophomore kicker Eddy Pineiro is set to kick his way to redemption. On defense, DE Preston Smith is ready to prove his mettle, and FS Jordan Whitehead is poised to build on his impressive rookie year. The dynamic duo of CBs Richard Sherman and Joe Haden will bring veteran prowess to our secondary, while MLB Devin White is the young powerhouse set to anchor our new defensive scheme. With a mix of seasoned veterans and rising stars, the Philadelphia Eagles are primed for a season of thrilling games and unforgettable moments. Let’s soar to new heights in 2019!
TE Tyler Higbee
Tyler Higbee isn’t just a tight end; he’s a touchdown magnet with a nose for the end zone, pulling down 8 touchdowns and racking up 883 yards last season. In the final year of his rookie contract, Higbee is primed for his breakout performance. One might say he’s in the zone like a hot knife through butter, ready to slice through defenses and snag those crucial catches. A stellar season this year will mean a big payday next offseason, so watch him light up the field like the holiday lights at City Hall in Philadelphia. This is the year Higbee goes from good to "get that man a contract extension!"
HB Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard, our top pick in the 2019 draft, is like a firecracker waiting to explode in the NFC East. This rookie HB is a bundle of elite skills and untapped potential, falling deep in the draft like a diamond in the rough. With the hype train already at full speed, Pollard is ready to make his mark. Expect him to dazzle defenders with moves that make highlight reels blush. This is the season Pollard turns rookie dreams into NFL nightmares for opposing defenses. Keep your eyes peeled – this kid’s about to make waves!
QB Mark Sanchez
Mark Sanchez is done looking in the rearview mirror at 2018 – it’s time to hit the gas pedal. The 32-year-old veteran is gearing up with a roster that’s more stable than a three-legged stool. With Peter Fenger entering his second year as GM, and familiar faces mingling with fresh talent, Sanchez is set to shatter his previous stats. The bar is low, but Sanchez is ready to clear it like an Olympic hurdler. This season, Sanchez isn’t just aiming for wins; he’s gunning for a comeback story that’ll have us cheering from the bleachers. Here’s to more than three wins – here’s to a resurgence!
K Eddy Pineiro
Eddy Pineiro, the sophomore kicker, has got a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove. After finishing last season as the worst starting kicker in the league with a dismal 58% field goal average, Pineiro’s ready to kick those woes to the curb. With another year in training camp and a boost in progression points, we’re eyeing a 90% KAC this season – a leap from last year’s 83%. Pineiro’s about to turn those missed kicks into a distant memory. Here’s to a season where every field goal is a slam dunk!
DE Preston Smith
Preston Smith, the once-promising first-round pick, is ready to bounce back from a single-sack season. We didn’t trade and restructure him for mediocrity, and now with a revamped defense and some fresh talent, Smith is poised to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. With a new scheme and a chip on his shoulder, Smith is about to show the league why he was a first-round pick. Get ready for a season where Smith is not just on the field, but making offenses tremble. It’s time for Preston Smith to get back in the sack game!
FS Jordan Whitehead
Jordan Whitehead turned heads with his rookie season, leading rookie safeties in tackles and performance. Now, we’re giving him the spotlight with a mentor in John Welding, ready to boost his awareness and skills. Whitehead’s already proven he can hang with the big dogs, and this season, he’s got the opportunity to shine alongside some legendary DBs. Watch as Whitehead’s rookie brilliance evolves into defensive mastery, making him a name that quarterbacks will dread. This season, Whitehead’s set to turn the secondary into a fortress.
CB Richard Sherman & CB Joe Haden
Richard Sherman and Joe Haden are the veterans we need to transform our defense from mediocre to menacing. With Sherman’s 6’3” frame and Haden’s sharp skills, these seasoned pros are here to remind quarterbacks why they’re feared. Haden’s history with GM Fenger could reignite some old magic, while Sherman’s shutdown prowess will be the special ingredient to stifling offenses. As they step into their 30s, expect these DBs to turn back the clock and make QBs quake in their cleats. This year, Sherman and Haden are here to rewrite the script on defensive dominance.
MLB Devin White
Devin White, our late first-round pick, is the linebacker to watch. At just 24, White is set to build on his already impressive skill set, stepping onto the field with a tackle tally of 93. Partnering with MLB Kwiatkoski, White will be the heartbeat of our defense in a scheme that values linebackers more than ever. We’re pumped to see how this young MLB will grow and dominate alongside the team’s seasoned vets. White’s about to show the league that he’s not just another rookie – he’s the linebacker of the future. Get ready for a season of tackles, turnovers, and tackles for loss!
So buckle up, folks. The 2019 season is here, and these players are ready to make it unforgettable. Let’s get this show on the road! |

Iggles Update - Six Game-Changing Players in 2019 |
In a move that has the entire football world buzzing, the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in and drafted six absolute beasts in the 2019 SFL Draft. These new additions aren't just expected to make an impact – they're predicted to leave a trail of destruction in their wake, wreaking havoc on the SFL football league as we know it.
With a wink and a nod to their fans, the Eagles front office declared, "We're here to play, and we're here to win." And win they will, with a roster now bolstered by the likes of these six gridiron gladiators:
1.23 HB Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard join the team as this year’s top HB in the draft. We were really fortunate for this bulldozer to fall so deep in the first round, it was an obvious pick for an obvious need for our roster. Pollard barrels through defensive lines like a freight train. Tackling him is like trying to stop a bulldozer with a paper clip. Starting his career at OVR 83, with 92 SPD, 83 STR, 91 ACC, and 84 BTK we think Pollard is elite talent and an obvious starter in week 1.
1.26 MLB Devin White
With our second selection we took MLB Devin White, our top MLB in the draft this year. This guy hits harder than a Philly cheesesteak and has the speed to match. Opposing quarterbacks? Start trembling now. Starting at 81 OVR with 85 SPD, 85 ACC, and an incredible 93 TAK, we weighted the options of age vs progression and felt that the 24 year old, starting at 93 TAK, will be a top MLB in only a few short seasons. We’re fortunate for White to fall so far in the 26th pick of the first round and we look forward to pairing him with MLB Nick Kwiatkoshi in week 1.
3.08 LOLB Ryan Connelly
After a bit of a break we rejoined the draft in the 3rd round. Ryan Connelly was our first pick of the 3rd round. This guy's so badass, even his shadow gets out of the way when he steps on the field. Known for his bone-crushing tackles and lightning-fast speed, Connelly is here to send a message: the Eagles' defense just got a serious upgrade. He has potential starting with 80 SPD, 86 STR, 84 ACC, and 77 TAK. We weighed our options at this starting OLB position with our next pick at 3.16
3.16 ROLB Andrew Van Ginkle
Andrew Van Ginkle was our insurance play. We have a need at OLB and both players will have a role as starter or backup. When Van Ginkle hits, it’s like Thor's hammer coming down. SFL quarterbacks will have nightmares about this guy. Van Ginkle has a respectable 77 SPD, 76 STR, 86 ACC, and 75 TAK. Both OLBs in the 3rd round will need work, but I think we have the start of something serviceable and an opportunity for next season for improvement.
6.02 C Austin Cutting
This guy's built like a brick wall and moves like a ballerina (well, a really big, tough ballerina). Tank's here to create a no-fly zone for defenders and pave the way for our running game. Cutting will be our backup Center for the following season. His best qualities are 90 STR, and 82 RBK.
7.05 LT Dennis Daley
As immovable as the Rocky statue, Daley will be protecting our QB like Fort Knox. Good luck getting past this human wall. Daley will be our backup option at OT. His best stats are 97 STR, 71 ACC, 81 PBK.
Philadelphia, brace yourselves. These six rookies aren't just coming to play – they're coming to dominate. Fans can look forward to a season of explosive plays, bone-crushing tackles, and victory celebrations that will make the Rocky Steps look like a Sunday stroll.
To the rest of the SFL: consider this your fair warning. The Eagles' new recruits are taking no prisoners. We've got a new breed of Eagles, and they’re hungry. It’s going to be a season filled with excitement, entertainment, and a whole lot of Philly pride. Buckle up, football fans – the 2019 season is going to be one for the history books.
