NFL
Philadelphia Eagles got off to a frustrating start of the football season. Jalen produced a few turn overs, and has been sacked quite a bit in the first few games. However, Saquon Barkley, has proved himself in his first season with Eagles. Welcome, Saquon!
Congratulations, Jalen, on your engagement! Just remember to keep the main thing, the main thing.
A. J. Brown out with hamstring injury, Lane Johnson and DeVonta Smith, both out on concussion protocol. We are already in week #5. The team has a record of two wins and two losses. Some fans are questioning if the Eagles coaching staff time is running out. There are thirteen games remaining in the regular season. Could management make an in-season change??? There are several qualified coaching prospects available!!!! Stay tuned………..
