Brotherly Love Eagles Podcast

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 out awards for MVP and Biggest Disappointment. Plus striking parallels between the Eagles march to the playoffs and the real life Permian Panthers from "Friday Night Lights" (the movie not the show). Thanks for listening this year!

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.

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 from brother-in-law/husband Brian, our ongoing dermatological consult for Carson, and undeserving Academy Awards given to movies about women getting down with fish men.

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.

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 the Dallas Cowboys. The fate of the NFC East hangs in the balance, and the fortunes of an entire city wait furtively on the outcome. May the gods be with us.

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 known as the NFC East. Or will they do just enough to hang around this year and be poised for division victory, only lose heart and disappoint us all on the last game of the season. Plus, how the Eagles 2017-2018 stretch mirrors True Detective seasons 1 and 2 perfectly.

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.

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 disappointing season.

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 postgame London attire. (Apologies, this podcast was recorded before the Golden Tate news broke.)

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 celebrity look-a-like comparisons.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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?

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 brotherly love by leaving us a review!

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.

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 no further: https://breakingt.com/products/philly-dogs

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!

We bring back our Mom, the world’s most pessimistic Eagles fan, by popular demand to discuss why Eagles fans are so down and depressed about this team heading into the divisional around, and why we should still have some hope. Maybe. She also says why it’s our fault. Please rate us on iTunes with a little love of your own.

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.

After the Philadelphia Eagles lucky and pathetic 19-10 Christmas win against the Oakland Raiders, we break down why we have little confidence in this team to do much in the playoffs unless the defense somehow gets their mojo back.

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).

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?

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.

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 lose again (21:15).

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 (18:00). Please rate us on iTunes with a little love of your own.

A quick chat with our Mom to talk about the awesome Philadelphia Eagles season and the even more awesome Carson Wentz.

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).

The Philadelphia Eagles put a 50-spot on the Denver Broncos, 51-23. Amanda joins Matt to talk about Carson Wentz’s awesomeness (02:30) including an incredible “Ray Didinger Stat of the Game” (10:45). There were some slight negatives including one stat about Eagles WRs (13:20), but this is mostly a celebration of how great the Eagles were today and have been all season (17:15). Please rate us on iTunes with a little love of your own!

We break down the big Philadelphia Eagles trade for RB Jay Ajayi (00:30). Then we talk about who scares us most in the NFC (03:15). Who would you rather have- Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, or Carson Wentz (08:20)? And finally, are we confident that Halapoulivaati Vaitai will hold up at left tackle as we preview the game against the Denver Broncos (11:00). Please rate us on iTunes with a little love of your own!

The Philadelphia Eagles blew out the San Francisco 49ers 33-10 (apologies for saying it was 33-7), yet it didn’t feel like that. The Eagles looked bad, especially on the offensive line (00:30). And after Matt’s rant about NFL announcers, we do find some positives, most notably the defensive line/Derek Barnett, Jalen Mills, and Mychal Kendricks (9:15). Please rate us on iTunes with a little love of your own!

Brothers Graham react to the huge injury news coming off the high of the Monday night victory (00:20). Then we assess the Eagles compared to the rest of the NFC (03:00). And what would be the most compelling Super Bowl opponent (07:00). We also thank our lucky stars we have Carson Wentz and not Sam Bradford (08:00). Finally, we bring on our mom to talk about too much Super Bowl hype, the “magical” Carson Wentz, too much cursing, and whether Zach Ertz has dethroned Chris Long as cutest Eagle (10:00). If you like what you hear, please rate us in iTunes. And as always, thanks for listening!

After the Philadelphia Eagles 34-24 statement win against the Washington Redskins on Monday night, the Graham brothers are joined by sister Graham to discuss the Carson Wentz hype being in full gear now (00:30). Is time to start thinking this team should have Super Bowl aspirations (04:15)? We then talk about whether Zack Ertz now holds the title of “best looking Eagle” and disagree about the “Ray Didinger Impact Play of the Game” (13:00). Then we get into the positives from such a big win (18:45) and what are the things that still hold this team back from being true contenders (25:00). And finally for our ridiculously early season prediction, we debate how far the Eagles will go and which NFC team scares us the most (28:15). Note: This Podcast was recorded before the Jordan Hicks injury news. If you like what you hear, please rate us in iTunes. And as always, thanks for listening!

In this episode we discuss why the Philadelphia Eagles are being under-appreciated (00:35). What does makes us nervous is the the Carson Wentz hype machine (02:30). BUT, it’s time to believe in this team and no one in the NFC scares us (07:00). And we give you the no. 1 reason why the Eagles should make it to the Super Bowl that no one else is talking about (10:00). Then we welcome Jamie Mottram from the Mr. Irrelevant podcast to asses the matchup against the Redskins (11:00). And Jamie gives us every reason to believe in the Eagles and the greatest line about Kurt Cousins (13:10). And finally, we discuss with him why Wentz is so awesome (21:00).

What a game as the Philadelphia Eagles out-slug the Carolina Panthers 28-23. Matt brings on his sister to take the place of GT, who's still in an undisclosed international location. We start off with our infamous Donovan McNabb fight and my embarrassing run in with him (00:25). Then it's on to why Fletcher Cox was a dominant force tonight and was part of the "Ray Didinger Impact Play of the Game" (05:44). The defense in general stepped up when it mattered all game (08:50). We love Carson Wentz's moxie but also hate it at the same time (11:45). And we both admit why Tony Romo, who we hated as a player, is great in the booth (14:30). We then make fun of Cam Newton for his TD celebration and lack of respect for women (19:30). And then Amanda proves why Eagles fans can never be happy without a Super Bowl (21:10) while sharing her season-long pleasant surprise so far (22:15). And speaking of moxie, Doug Pederson has pushed all the right buttons with his aggressiveness (25:40). Finally, we b

Little bro GT joins us from an undisclosed international location, along with our mom as we dissect the power rankings, where the Eagles are as high as No. 2 and as low as No. 5 (01:20). We then assess the Eagles chances of an actual Super Bowl run... sort of (04:30). What makes us most nervous moving forward (07:59). Why Carson Wentz is so good this year (10:15). And finally, it doesn't matter if the Eagles win or lose against the Carolina Panthers (13:20). Please rate us on iTunes with a little love of your own!

The Philadelphia Eagles made it look easy with their 34-7 win against the Arizona Cardinals. Our Philly-diehard buddy Joe Horgan subs in for little bro GT as we discuss why this was Carson Wentz's best game as a pro (01:45). What's different about this Eagles team (05:15). The "Ray Didinger Impact Play of the Game" (07:45). Can we finally admit Doug Pederson is at least not a bad coach (10:00)? And we need to appreciate how good Jordan Hicks is (13:55). We then revisit if the Eagles are just as good as any team in the NFC with our ridiculously early season prediction (15:15), why Wentz is better than Donovan McNabb at the same point in their career (16:00), and what it will take for Philly to truly believe (18:15).

We got sacked by many listeners when Matt suggested the Eagles are just as good as any team in the NFC. So of course we break it down (00:50). Who specifically in the NFC is better? Then why Carson Wentz continues to show maturity, but how the experts were a little too impressed (11:30). Greg then eats crow when it comes to Doug Pederson (13:30). And finally, our mom joins us. She's still pessimistic (17:00). And speaking of slow your roll, we disprove Colin Cowherd's theory that Eagles fans ran Andy Reid out of town (21:00).

We were on location for the game! Eagles fans owned Carson, CA (00:33). What Ray Didinger got wrong (02:26). Bold prediction for the ridiculously early season prediction (04:56). Is Carson Wentz the second best QB in the NFC besides Aaron Rodgers (06:30)? And GT loses his smarter brother title when he says Matthew Stafford is better than Wentz. Why they're the best team in the NFC (09:18). Why this year's 3-1 feels different than last season. Who's the fan favorite other than Wentz (14:50)? Biggest winner- no Chris Maragos playing safety. Eagles fans were awesome (21:15). Wentz nailed the long ball (23:55). Why this was the most impressive win so far (25:15). Dak vs. Wentz- who ya got (26:30)

Our mom takes us through the drama of being the world's most pessimistic Eagles fan watching the crazy 4th quarter against the hated Giants (01:00). Are the Eagles still cursed after wins like that (04:15)? Is Doug Pederson a good couch (07:18)? Are we too hard on him (07:35)? Should Carson Wentz give Jake Elliott his game check after saying he would to a teammate (08:10)? Then minus mom we break down what we got right this week, starting with Carson Wentz's fatal flaw so far (09:30). Our ❤️ for Darren Sproles (12:55) and how it affects the Eagles moving forward. And finally, why we're nervous about the Chargers game (15:10).

Wow! Are you as emotionally wrecked as we are after the dramatic 27-24 last-second victory against the New York Giants? How did the Philadelphia Eagles not blow it (00:25)? Did Doug Pederson prove he's a good coach (03:30)? Every Eagles fan thought we were losing (05:09). Carson Wentz was not very good but showed a lot of ❤️❤️ (06:11). The Ray Didinger impact play of the game was NOT the 61-yard FG to win it (15:00). The defensive injuries are so bad, there was a dude we didn't recognize (19:00). The Eagles showed a ton of class during the national anthem (25:00). Wentz's one big fatal flaw (27:00). And as always, ridiculously early season record predictions and the Maragos barometer (32:00).

Just like the Eagles, we are flawed... The offensive line had some issues (00:30). Is the run/pass balance really that big of a deal (2:20)? Why do Eagles fans love the run game so much (5:45)? Blame Howie Roseman for the running game woes (9:05). Wentz's best play might have been a ball he didn't throw (11:15). Then we bring on our mom to talk how much she dislikes Doug Peterson (14:50), who's the cutest Eagle this year (16:30), her hatred of Andy Reid (17:40), and how she feels bad for Eli Manning (21:00).

The Philadelphia Eagles lost a tough game to the Kansas City Chiefs 27-20, but at least one Graham brother sees it as predominantly positive. Why so (3:10)? Carson Wentz is looking like a true franchise QB (12:00). In fact, one brother already ❤️s him (14:00). There is one thing NOT to like about Wentz's game (16:20). The Ray Didinger "Impact play of the game" was NOT the Wentz pick (22:40). One Graham brother calls out the Eagles fans in attendance (31:30). Our love/hate of Andy Reid (37:15). Rookies are the biggest pleasant surprise (38:15). The one injury we can't afford on defense (41:10). Why this year feels different than last year (41:45). And finally, ridiculously early predictions for the season (47:00).

In this first official instant and fun analysis of the Philadelphia Eagles, Matt Graham and his smarter brother Greg "GT" Graham break down the Eagles exciting 30-17 win against the Washington Redskins. Is Doug Peterson really that bad of a couch (1:00)? Should we be excited about Carson Wentz's performance (10:40)? We then breakdown the Ray Didinger impact play(s) of the game and Greg's crush on Jim Schwartz (16:20). And then it's on to Peterson and Schwartz's failed high five (20:30), pleasant surprises (25:00), disappoints other than the devastating Ronald Darby injury (30:00), and ridiculously early predictions for the rest of the season (38:40).
