Week 10: San Francisco (5-3) 3-27 Philadelphia (5-3)
Back to the Dr. Jekyll Eagles this week... The offence was solid and consistent, led by Hutchins (21/24-263-2-0) and the receivers (Samanta 8-71, Oskolkoff 4-70, Burgess 3-70-1), while DT Campbell (2.5 sacks) led the defence in terrorising the 49ers QB.

Week 11: Dallas (5-4) 26-20 Philadelphia (6-3) (OT)
The Cowboys have been our bogey team recently, but it looked like things were changing when we took a 20-3 lead into half-time. Dallas came back with 23 unanswered points, though, with QB Lee burning the Eagles secondary for 438 passing yards.

Backup RB Dominic Sweeney was lost for the year in this game with a serious knee injury. Veteran RB Shane Sample (9th year, 32/32) was signed to take Sweeney's place in the RB rotation.

Week 12: Cleveland (8-2) 24-27 Philadelphia (6-4)
A case of hanging on by our fingernails at the end, but a good win over a solid team, despite the secondary struggling for the second straight game. The Eagles offence was efficient rather than explosive, with Hutchins (20/26-158-2-0) doing his usual solid job, while starting safeties Wilcox and Lowe both had interceptions.

We need to go back out and sign another RB this week, as rookie RB Bo Prall is out for 6 weeks after pulling a calf muscle in this game, and goes on IR - the guy we sign isn't going to need much time to get used to the system, though, as we bring back RB Chad Burnett (5th year, 29/29).

Week 13: Detroit (4-7) 10-38 Philadelphia (7-4)
The Lions are definitely not the same team without their star QB Fiebelkorn, and it showed here. Hutchins (19/24-276-2-0) and Oskolkoff (7-171) had big days, while DT Toby Clayton (6 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 hurries, 3 knockdowns) was instrumental in chasing the Lions's starting QB.

Week 14: Philadelphia (8-4) 26-15 Baltimore (8-4)
A big road win against a very good team - the defence shut down one of the more prolific passing offences in the league, while the Eagles offence were able to move the ball with both pass (Hutchins 20/28-188-1-0) and run (Compton 20-86-1, Sample 17-114).

Week 15: Philadelphia (9-4) 24-27 Washington (2-11) (OT)
Another game where our opponent was able to burn our secondary, this time for the little matter of 380 yards. The Eagles offence put in a solid effort, with Hutchins (23/30-194-1-0, 1 rush TD) having another good game, but our pass rush was ineffective, giving our secondary too much to do.

Week 16: Pittsburgh (7-7) 24-38 Philadelphia (9-5)
A game of big plays, but the Eagles were able to make more of the plays that mattered. Hutchins (20/27-224-2-0) got good support from his receivers (Samanta 6-59-1, Burgess 4-68-1, Oskolkoff 4-90-1) and running game (Compton 20-82-1, Burnett 14-69-1), while the defence did enough to keep the Steelers offence in check.

This win came at a major cost, though, with QB Keith Hutchins suffering a broken leg late in the game. O.J. Hume will start in week 17, with Tyrus Monpoto as the #2 QB.

Our week 17 game against New York is very important, as both teams have a 10-5 record. The winner will get a first-round bye (and possibly home-field advantage), while the loser will end up as a wild card team. Not the ideal situation to have a QB making his first career start...

Week 17: New York (10-5) 37-10 Philadelphia (10-5)
The inexperience at the quarterback position really hurt us in this game - neither Hume or Monpoto were able to produce, despite good support from our running game (Compton 16-85-1, Burnett 11-72), and the Giants took full advantage.

In a very close NFC playoff race, the loss drops us to either 5th or 6th seed (depending on how the tiebreaker with Tampa Bay turns out) - we will travel to St. Louis for the wild card round. The Giants get the week off, and are seeded #2.
