Coulda Saw That Coming

Coulda Saw That Coming

Another Saga

Another Saga

This journey, Chip and Ryan begin by talking Eagles heading into the postseason. Finishing with a loss against the Giants, the Eagles will head to Tampa Bay Monday night to play the Bucs. The defense still has glaring problems and the offense does not look alive. We elaborate on the past few weeks and acknowledge that any game will be tough with the way the team has been playing. We Shift the Lines and talk Flyers and the Cutter Gauthier saga. There have been so many rumors flying about this situation, but at the end of it all, he did not want to play for the Flyers.

Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Jan 10, 202401:02:47
Devastating Defeat

Devastating Defeat

This journey, Chip and Ryan talk about the Eagles' home loss to the Cardinals. At this point, the defense is entirely broken, the offensive play calling in key scenarios is abysmal, and the team appears to be in freefall. The talent to succeed exists on this roster, but with coordinators who have proven to be inefficient in every aspect since this rut began, and even before, how will the team even fare in the playoffs? Hop on board (and here's where we would usually say enjoy the ride.)

Jan 03, 202456:40
Downward Spiral

Downward Spiral

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the Eagles' loss to the Seahawks. This game was a must win and the game was given away. The offense and defense continued to play poorly. Jalen Hurts appears to be forcing throws and committing mental mistakes, the offensive play calling remained abysmal, and the defense got torched. Call it murphy's law, everything is going wrong. Here's where we would say, hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Dec 20, 202346:15

Run the Ball

This journey Chip and Ryan unfortunately travel down the dark road and discuss the Eagles' loss to the Cowboys in Dallas. 3 crucial fumbles by 3 offensive stars, a defense letting up anything in their direction, and a stagnant offensive gameplan. There are so many things going wrong, the team must right the ship Monday against Seattle.

Arrowhead W

The team currently sits at 10-4, with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey still playing very well. We talk bench scoring and rotations as well. Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Eagles Upcoming Schedule; Sixers So Far

Eagles Upcoming Schedule; Sixers So Far

This journey, Chip and Ryan breakdown the Eagles difficult schedule ahead. The Eagles matchup against the Chiefs Monday night is going to be a challenge, however, if they are able to limit the run and Mahomes' connections with Travis Kelce, they will put themselves in a great position to win. We move on to discuss the Sixers season so far. Tyrese Maxey has played phenomenally throughout the early part of this season, dropping 50 points against the Pacers and being named a Player of the Week. Joel Embiid remains in MVP form playing great ball, and you guessed it, also wins a Player of the Week. Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

The offense looks a lot different than last year, we talk about why that is. We move on to the Sixers signing Kelly Oubre Jr. We did not expect the move, but we are happy with it. To close out, we Walk it Off talking Phillies as they gear up for the wild card round. The Phillies must play well to retain that top wild card spot and keep home field advantage in this series.

We discuss the changes in the roster from last season and what to expect from this year's squad. We then Walk it Off talking Phillies. To retain home field advantage in the top Wild Card spot, the bats will need to remain hot and pitching will have to be solid down the line in order to ward of a scorching hot Cubs team.

Aug 09, 202343:47
Summertime Blues

Jul 26, 202340:01
All Star Break; Sixers Moves

All Star Break; Sixers Moves

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the recent Sixers signings. Mo Bamba and Pat Beverley join the Sixers bench. We both like these new additions. The team also matched the Jazz's offer sheet to Paul Reed, bringing him back to Philly for 3 years. Montrezl Harrell re-signs with the Sixers as well. The roster still needs to be entirely filled out... What moves could be coming? We move on to recap the Phillies season so far. The main theme remains inconsistency. When the lineup is performing, pitching is poor, when the pitching is on fire, the lineup is cold. What will the Phillies need to do at the deadline to address some of these issues?

Jul 12, 202334:28
The Rebuild Continues

The inconsistency and struggles with key players in the lineup is now catching up with the team. Although the Phillies have been able to maintain a winning record as of late, in order to remain in the hunt star players will need to wake up the bats. Will the Phillies make a trade to address the lineup concerns in the coming weeks? Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Jun 28, 202336:30
The Dog Days of Summer Return

The Dog Days of Summer Return

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the Phillies recent string of games. The Phillies have won 7 of their last 9 and the bats appear to be alive in June yet again. It is clearly obvious that the opener is not working for the team, will they make a move well before the deadline to address this? Jose Alvarado has returned to the bullpen, will guys like Gregory Soto and Seranthony Dominguez get in a groove as the summer approaches? We then talk a bit of Flyers. A new hire was made to the front office and the NHL Draft quickly approaches. Rumors are swirling around the Flyers as no player appears to be unavailable in this rebuild attempt. Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Jun 14, 202348:07
Let the Rebuild Begin

Let the Rebuild Begin

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss... THE FLYERS?! Danny Briere makes his first big trade as the team's GM. Ivan Provorov was sent to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a three team trade including LA. The Flyers recouped a first round pick, a second, a conditional second, a prospect in Helge Grans (D), and Sean Walker (D) and Cal Petersen (G) from the Kings. Rumors have been swirling about a Carter Hart trade, we have no further info but if he is moved a haul would be needed. We then Walk it Off talking Phillies. If the lineup is able to hit to its ability, we are certain the Phillies would be in a better position. The problem comes from both the lineup and pitching remaining inconsistent throughout this entire year. Will the Phillies look to add to the rotation, bullpen or first base as the deadline approaches? At the end of June, we will further evaluate the team, but this current streak could be exactly what the team needed to finally find a groove. Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Jun 07, 202336:34
Nick Nurse Hired; Phillies Recap

Nick Nurse Hired; Phillies Recap

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the Sixers hiring of Nick Nurse. We both love the move. What can the fanbase expect from Nurse as the Sixers head coach? It is a nice change of pace to have an X's and O's guy at the helm. We then Walk it Off discussing the Phillies season so far. What do the Phillies need in order to continue climbing in the wild card hunt? Will a starting pitcher or a first baseman be on the Phillies radar as the trade deadline approaches? We have seen a lot of inconsistency from the bullpen, perhaps another arm to strengthen that wouldn't hurt. The Phillies are currently in a similar situation to last year, will there be a point where everything seems to click? Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

May 30, 202345:57
Game 7 Consequences

Game 7 Consequences

This journey, the title speaks for itself. Chip and Ryan discuss the disastrous Sixers Game 7 against the Celtics. It was a beatdown. The team did not show up, and that includes the 2 stars of the organization. Once again, Sixers fans are left feeling empty inside. Due to this loss, the organization has moved on from Doc Rivers as the Head Coach. With that in mind, there are several high caliber names available to bring in as the new coach including coaches who have championships under their belt. In which direction will the Sixers go for this position? Rumors are already spreading about Mike D'Antoni, but with coaches like Nick Nurse, Monty Williams, and Mike Budenholzer available, we would hope that this is only a rumor. We move on to discuss the Phillies and the benches clearing against the Rockies, and other news from around the sports world. Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

This journey, Chip and Ryan briefly talk Sixers game 5 against the Celtics. One of the biggest wins of our lifetimes, game six at home will be electric. We move on to discuss the Phillies season so far. The lineup has been shuffled, some guys are hitting well, some are slumping. As the season progresses, will the pitching be able to maintain a solid pace if the lineup is streaky? Will the lineup even be streaky or are players still getting settled in? It's only May so keep an eye out as the team enters the dog days of summer. We then shift the lines and talk a bit of Flyers for the first time in a while. The Flyers reportedly are down to two candidates for their President of Hockey Operations role, Keith Jones and Eddie Olczyck.

MVPiid; Bird-Dawgs

MVPiid; Bird-Dawgs

This journey, Chip and Ryan talk Joel Embiid finally winning a well deserved MVP. Congratulations to Joel, awesome to see him finally win. We then discuss the game 1 win against Boston on the road without Embiid playing. James Harden went off for 45 points, and the team played cohesively on the offensive side of the ball. With game two quickly approaching, is it best to rest Joel Embiid and return him game 3 at home? We then talk Eagles Draft. This was an absolute masterclass by Howie Roseman. Chip reviews each pick and gives a sold rundown of what to expect from each player. The Eagles also traded for D'Andre Swift from the Lions for a 4th in 2025.

Will Embiid be healthy enough to go in this series with the knee sprain? Will the Sixers finally be able to get over the hump in the second round? We Walk it Off talking Phillies. The team is starting to play better, coming off a 3 game sweep of the Rockies at home. Although the bats appear to be alive, we would like to see more pitching consistency. With the likelihood of Bryce Harper returning sooner than later, will we see him primarily at 1st base or continue to see a rotation with him at DH? Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Apr 26, 202355:57
Hurts Got the Bag; Sixers Playoffs

Hurts Got the Bag; Sixers Playoffs

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss Jalen Hurts' huge contract extension and how awesome it is for the Eagles. Not only does it make Jalen Hurts the highest paid player in NFL history, but the contract itself allows the Eagles to keep talent around him throughout the 5 years.

Free Agency; Fletcher Fired

Free Agency; Fletcher Fired

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the storm that has been NFL Free Agency. The Eagles were able to re-sign James Bradberry in a surprising move where he took less money to remain an Eagle. The Eagles also re-signed Jason Kelce, Boston Scott, and added RB Rashaad Penny from Free Agency. With the moves to sign these two backs, it appears Miles Sanders' time in Philly is over... Thank you for everything, we wish you all the best in your future! CJ Gardner-Johnson has yet to be signed by anyone, and if the Eagles are able to re-sign him, that would be huge. The Sixers have been playing at a great level, Joel Embiid has been consistently at an MVP level this year, and the top of the East is a very tight race. Will the Sixers be able to maintain this level of play during the upcoming west coast trip? The Flyers finally fired Chuck Fletcher, Danny Briere takes over as Interim GM.

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the Eagles' new hires at Offensive & Defensive coordinator. We then shift into briefly talking free agency and the draft as it is almost that time of year again. We briefly talk Phillies Spring Training before moving into the Sixers. The Sixers have a roster that has the ability to win, but they have come up short against the Celtics and Heat back to back. What do the Sixers need to do to get into a rhythm and consistently play to the best of their abilities? We conclude talking Flyers and how far the team has fallen. Chuck Fletcher somehow still has a job, which neither of us can wrap our heads around. The team needs change, make it happen before it's too late. Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

The Longest Week of Our Lives

The Longest Week of Our Lives

This journey, Chip and Ryan preview Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles take on a potent Kansas City offense, will the defense be able to limit Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce? Will the run be something to look out for with Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon both playing well? Who will be the most impactful on the defensive side of the ball? Keeping Patrick Mahomes' abilities in mind, the Eagles will need to work their best to keep the pressure on. Offensively, the Eagles have many options: AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Miles Sanders... All listed have the potential for a big game. The team hasn't had to unveil their entire playbook so far, will we see another iconic play? Will we see Jalen Hurts culminate this fantastic season with the crowning achievement in Football?  The longest week of our lives is halfway through, hop on board and enjoy the ride! GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!
