Home: Dallas, N.Y. Giants, Washington, Atlanta, Carolina, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Green Bay
Away: Dallas, N.Y. Giants, Washington, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Houston, Indianapolis, San Francisco
5 of the top 7 teams picking in the draft are on our schedule (Houston, New Orleans, Tennessee, Green Bay, San Francisco)... :yay
Hopefully the Eagles will be back up to speed by the time they are scheduled to play at RCA. :-\
i can't believe that Eagles get the Packers at home again
How many MNF/Nat TV are we gonna see? I figure 3 night games and a few scheduled 4:15 games, but its probably too early to consider such things.

And no Favre to throw up gift after gift. That sucks.
If they aren't in the playoffs next season with that schedule, Reid should be fired. Actually he should be fired now.
If they aren't in the playoffs next season with that schedule, Reid should be fired. Actually he should be fired now
when reid gets fired he will immediately throw the red flag on luries desk
Finally we get Jacksonville at home! 0-3 in Jacksonville.
i'd like to say the schedule is relatively easy. who fargin knows at this point. is it july yet? :-D
Eagles play some cream puffs from this year but also have 8 games against playoff teams (2 Giants, 2 Washington, Indy, Bucs, Jax, Tampa) and 2 more against an improved Dallas. Doesnt look like a cake walk.
can we focus in on the important stuff...like the roadie to new orleans...holla!

you planning it?

Let me know. I got a buddy down there who runs a bar not too far from the Dome so we're taken care of in that respect.
They say the SuperDome will be ready for games in 2006... I guess it's just a matter of if all 8 games are there or not. Anyway, I've heard from a few Saints fans that the NFL is putting their schedule out this month... so if that's the case, we'll know ahead of time.
oh their schedule is due to be released earlier than everyone elses??
if not new orleans then probably not at all...i dont fly and none of those cities are worth a drive or train to...except for sf which is to far for either
in your experience, when it's all said and done, how much do you drop on a roadie like this?

Depends if you drive or fly, I'd say between $600 to $900.
maybe another hurricaine will wallop new orleans and the birds will get 9 home games next season
three nites in NO with airfare and a hotel room based on a four person occupancy would be approx. $450
tickets in NO are dirt cheap...a friend of mine went there on business two years ago and went to the bears game and got a ticket from the box office for 15 bucks
then of course spending money
600-900 sounds right
so if you don't fly, you would drive down there or train it?

For me... I'd first guess at about $400 - $500. I'd be driving from ATL so that cuts my rate down a little bit from airfare. And that's without checking out any hotel rates or anything.
Edit: Check that. I'm taking that as if I'd be going alone which I'm not so there you'd split up gas/hotel and all that. Make that about $200-$275 w/ticket.
i cant imagine anyone not flying...tho weve discussed renting a van or something and driving down

You mean as a bar tab right? Sorry, I do hail from Wisconsin...
Depends how expensive game tix are...plus plane fares.
Some of the cheaper airlines are flying dirt cheap right now...we flew to Atlanta out of BWI, and home from TB...AirTran was around $100 each down, but we got our tix $49 apiece home.
If you're renting a car, that f's it all up, too...our car rental for a week was over $600.

Any CF'ers considering a San Fran trip? I can supply some great wine from Napa! (Or Humboldt! ;))
Hopefully we'll get the same results as our last visit...minus Neckbeard getting his body parts separated even if it was his best game as an Eagle. (His schlong whipping dance in Green Bay excepted.)
SanFran?! Wine?! Body Parts!?!?!? I think you all know where this is headed.

Good balance of weak teams to rack up wins against and tough teams to give the Eagles good tests as a measuring stick.

Other than the usual rivals in the NFC East, the rest of the competition is weak like a mofo. WE play four of the weakest teams in football, and three mediocre ones :boo . The only serious competition outside of the NFC East is Indy, Jax, and Carolina. Biased as usual.
The Eagles finished in last, bro.
Their schedule is reflective of that.
Personally, I'm going to enjoy watching a healthy Eagles team stomp the guts out of the weakened competition next year.
i hate when people say "we"
its even worse when you capitalize it

Just throw him off the Golden Gate. >:D
I was thinking of either the NO or TB games as the roadie next year. Indy is only 4 hours away from where me and Phanatic live, but I don't look forward to a weekend in Indy like the others. Phanatic and I went out to Indy a couple years ago for a KISS concert. I have to say -- on a per capita basis, Indianapolis has the ugliest people I've ever met.
NO -- lot's of topless chicks and lots of bars.
TB -- fun in the sun, with a good bar scene. And probably topless chicks, too.
Indy -- ugly people you don't want to see topless.

Is everyone over the whole New Orleans 'Katrina killed thousands and many are still homeless and farged' or is that thing still going on?
They're still drying out the superdome carpet, also a few houses are ruined, a lot of previously dead bodies were washed up and have started eating the flesh of the living, but other than that it's a party town again.
Zombie chicks who put out are hot.
Don't ask for oral, you won't be happy with the results.
Unless you're into that sort of thing.

I think I can squeeze all three of those into one trip and she seems like the kind of girl who would be into each stop along the way...
As I understand it, if you can track her down she'll throw you up against a wall and have her way with you before you can say a word. She's a crazy-ass version of Where's Nypho-Waldo.
Outstanding.
QuoteSuperdome to host Saints home games

NEW ORLEANS -- NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue expects the New Orleans Saints to play all of their home games at the Superdome next season.
Tagliabue also sought to reassure the community during a visit to the city Wednesday that the NFL is not moving the Saints back for a single season to make the league appear sympathetic to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The commissioner said it was clear to him that Saints owner Tom Benson plans to remain in New Orleans beyond 2006. He added that the NFL was even beginning discussions with local leaders about when New Orleans might be ready to host its next Super Bowl, which would be the city's 10th.
"Mr. Benson already has committed beyond 2006. He's made it clear this is not just for one season. It's a multiyear effort," Tagliabue said as Benson stood alongside him. "The commitment is unequivocal."
The Superdome is not expected to be ready to host football until mid-September, but Benson said he is intent on playing both of the Saints' home preseason games at other venues in Louisiana.
Tagliabue, making his fourth visit to the state since Hurricane Katrina, called the progress he has seen in the metro area "palpable."
"This is in many ways a real turning point in the recovery and the rebuilding effort and the Saints' contribution to all that," said Tagliabue, who met with Convention & Visitor's Bureau officials and dined with business leaders at the French Quarter landmark Galatoire's on Tuesday night. "We've been reading about other restaurants, other things opening up, energy coming back, and talking to other real estate people. ... It's very clear we're gaining momentum."
Those were encouraging words for a community that had been all but convinced it was about to lose its affiliation with the NFL since Katrina struck.
Local anxiety over the team's future was present even before Katrina, when Benson started criticizing New Orleans for being a small market and calling the Superdome an outdated NFL facility. Shortly after the storm forced the team to temporarily relocate to San Antonio, leaders there said they were working with Benson to keep the team in Texas permanently. Benson then fired an executive who favored returning to Louisiana and briefly sought to cancel the lease at his training headquarters in suburban New Orleans, which was used by federal agencies as a relief base.
Benson never said publicly that he wanted to move the team permanently out of New Orleans, saying only that the storm damage to the city made his team's future there uncertain. He remained noncommittal for about four months until he returned shortly before New Year's Eve to announce the team was coming back to its headquarters this month. Some players already have returned to area homes and have begun working out. The Saints also have conducted interviews with prospective new coaches in New Orleans.
Many local leaders have said Benson should have committed to New Orleans much sooner, but Tagliabue defended the Saints owner.
"There are a heck of a lot of other businesses still in the process of trying to reach conclusions on many of the same subjects that (Benson) has reached conclusions on, including availability of housing for employees and availability of services for their families, so I don't accept the idea it was very long," Tagliabue said. "To me it was a tight timeline."
Benson said he is committed to New Orleans "forever, as long as the community commits to me."
"I've lived here a long time," Benson continued, alluding to threats of the Saints moving out of Louisiana before he bought the team two decades ago. "When I bought the club ... it wasn't that I was in love with football. It was the fact that I was in love with New Orleans, Louisiana. (That was) the reason I bought this team in 1985 and that's true today."
Meanwhile, the NFL is working on plans to further promote the league's involvement in the rebuilding of New Orleans next season. Ideas include a kickoff concert in New Orleans leading up to the prime-time season-opening game at the home of this season's eventual Super Bowl champion. The NFL also is looking at a New Year's Eve Saints home game on the last weekend of the regular season.

Back to the topic:
From the inqy:
"5: Number of the Eagles' 10 out-of-division opponents next season who won four or fewer games this season."
To make a wild guess about something that could change profoundly over the next 8 months, I think we're looking at 10-6 next year. Maybe 11-5 if we can go 4-2 in the division.
deciphering schedules in january = worthless

I'd make a trip to NO for the game. Anywhere you can booze on the street and grab titties is my kind of place, I'm kind of ashamed that I've only been there once. I actually have a place to stay with some old broad I used to work with, her next door neighbor is Fred Thomas, she tutored his wife, and Aaron Brooks lives a few doors down.
