The Philly Bandwagon

This journey, The Bandwagon Duo celebrate the Eagles' Playoff Berth. What turned this season around? Jalen Hurts has solidified his game as the season progressed, the defense has stepped up, and the O-Line has been phenomenal. Did we mention the run game? Since the Flower Speech of 2021, the Nick Sirianni led team has gone 7-2. Maybe he was right, it just takes time... The Sixers continue to strug...

This journey, Ryan and Chip discuss the recent impact of COVID-19 on the professional sports leagues, and what may be to come if this spike isn't handled properly. The Eagles, Raiders, and Seahawks were bamboozled. The beginning of year policy says that those games should have been played or forfeited, but here we are recording before a game on a Tuesday. It's a peculiar situation in which the NFL...

This journey, Ryan and Chip discuss the Eagles' win against the Jets. Gardner Minshew stepping in for an injured Jalen Hurts played pretty well against a Jets team that the Eagles should always beat. Dallas Goedert had 2 TD's and was able to create separation. There were some injuries this game, thankfully we are heading into a bye week which should give time to recover. We breakdown the rumor mil...

This journey, Ryan and Chip discuss the painful loss to the Giants. Jalen Hurts had quite possibly the worst game of his career. Is this just a bad game, or did he fall into all of his old habits? Jalen Reagor had 2 drops in crucial moments of the game, will he be able to overcome this poor performance? Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris have returned to the lineup for the Sixers. In Jojo's first game...

This journey, Ryan and Chip discuss the Eagles' win against the Saints. Jalen Hurts really stepped up and proved that he is working on improving every aspect of his game. The offense has struck gold with their run game over the last 5 weeks. The defense played pretty well for the most part. Will the Eagles continue this trend in the right direction?

The defense played pretty well and was able to put pressure on Teddy Bridgewater, what will it take for this play to continue? Jalen Hurts had a pretty solid game besides his interception, DeVonta Smith had a fantastic game with two touchdowns. Through 10 weeks of football, is Jalen Hurts your guy? Does Jalen Reagor...

What will it take for this team to pull together and be a competitor week after week. Will Jonathan Gannon ever adjust his defensive scheme? We saw Nick Sirianni adjust, hopefully it will be the same here. Next we talk Sixers...

This journey, The Bandwagon Duo discuss the Eagles trouncing the Lions. THANK GOD. This doesn't convince us that they are good, but it does say that they aren't the worst. The run game was unstoppable and it just kept working. Jordan Howard and Boston Scott each had 2 touchdowns. Will they keep this up? We just can't seem to get into the Sixers just yet... We want to, but what is holding us up? Wh...

This journey, Ryan and Chip talk about the horrible game against the Raiders. Jalen Hurts still has a lot to improve upon this season. Nick Sirianni's play calling has once again made us question the game of football. Jonathan Gannon is essentially being called out by his own players. To top all of this off, Howie Roseman still remains the GM. This team has taken away our happiness from Sundays. W...

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the Eagles' week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers. With the passing defense able to keep Sam Darnold in check for most of the game, what can be done to prevent the run moving forward. Jalen Hurts lead the team to a comeback win, and the offense in the second half really seemed to take off. What of the run game though? We close out the show talking the new update...

This journey Ryan and Chip go a little off the rails. Everything in Philly Sports has been depressing lately. "Well, at least the Flyers start their season soon." Is an example of something we hear every time one of our sports teams fails to achieve. The Eagles were absolutely destroyed by the Chiefs. Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes had a field day, and made our defense look like a pack of pre sch...

This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the beatdown that took place against the Cowboys. The play calling was horrendous, Jalen Hurts looked lost out there, and for the love of God if they don't run the ball more... On top of this, injuries are beginning to plague the entire team, how will the coaching staff adjust? The Chiefs come to town next week, and boy are we nervous about that one. We talk mor...

This journey, Ryan and Chip discuss the Eagles first game against the Atlanta Falcons. Jalen Hurts looked promising, and Nick Sirianni called a very balanced game.

Do they have it in them to secure a wild card spot?...

This journey, The Bandwagon Duo discuss the finalized Eagles roster and what to expect in week one. Were there any surprising cuts that stood out to you? Where do you expect the team to end the season? We have faith in Jalen Hurts, but will you if he has one bad game? We know most of the media won't, be patient with the guy. Ben Simmons reportedly will not show up to camp this year. Do you, like u...

This journey, Ryan and Chip discuss Jalen Hurts and how much he will play in the upcoming preseason game. Is a quarter enough, or should he play longer to develop a rhythm with the offense? What are the strong points and weaknesses of the team heading into the regular season? The Flyers sign Travis Sanheim to a 2 year deal to avoid arbitration. Prayers and condolences out to the Hayes family, as h...

After seeing Jalen Hurts play a bit in this game, and hearing everything around the league, will he finally be named the guy? Sixers Summer League comes to an end. Tyrese Maxey, Paul Reed, and Isaiah Joe...

This journey, Ryan and Chip talk training camp and position battles. Who will come out the victor in these preseason games for several positions? Sixers Summer League kicked off today with the young squad taking on the Mavs. Tyrese Maxey looked dominant early, but who else stuck out from the crowd? We Walk it Off with a traditional Phillies superstition, and breakdown their potential rotation for...

This journey Ryan and Chip discuss Eagles training camp and recent injuries. Will DeVonta Smith's injury allow him to play at the beginning of the regular season? Carson Wentz somehow is still finding a way to haunt us from his Eagles grave, he will be out 5-12 weeks with a foot injury. This almost guarantees that the Eagles will not convert on that 1st round pick from Indy. NBA free agency has be...

This journey Ryan and Chip discuss the Eagles' newest acquisition, Steven Nelson, and how this significantly helps our secondary. We also talk about the potential of Jalen Hurts, first round pick Landon Dickerson, and Jordan Mailata. We move on to discuss the Sixers and the NBA Draft coming up this Thursday, who are the Sixers targeting and will anyone be moved? Speaking of trade moves, the Flyers...

Lane Johnson and Fletcher Cox said their piece, what do you think? We also discuss the Flyers, their recent trade for Ryan Ellis, and the protection list submitted for the Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft. Will this trade be the only move made by the Flyers or does...

This Journey Ryan and Chip discuss what it will take to move on from the Sixers loss. The city has not forgotten and hasn't moved on, will this be as active an offseason as we believe? With a trade offer already on the table for Ben Simmons that was rejected, what pieces will be necessary to put us over the top? The Phillies take two of three from the Padres, but the bullpen is still horrendous. I...

This journey, The Bandwagon Duo have finally accepted the position that the Sixers are in. Is it the right move to ship Ben Simmons off, or do we allow time for him to make adjustments to his game? The risk of this is waning away the remaining years of Joel Embiid's prime. Is it worth the risk, or should Daryl Morey make the win now move and trade for Dame Lillard? We Walk it Off talking Phillies...

Always has been... Ryan and Chip discuss the devastation of the Sixers losing Game 7 to Atlanta. There were so many factors that went into that horrible series, we don't even know where to begin. Ben Simmons has lost himself and the fanbase is rightfully upset. Do we see him in a Sixers Jersey next year? If that's even a possibility, the only way he stays with the team is if he begins to shoot the...

This journey, The Bandwagon Duo discuss the horrific second half against Atlanta in game 4. Joel Embiid went 0-12 in the second half and missed a potential game winning layup. The team played terribly as a unit, and the blame goes on everyone. We don't want excuses, we want the team to come out with a fire for game 5 and ride that into game 6. What will it take for the Sixers to prove to the fans...
