Cowboys | Schedule highlights
Thu, 6 Apr 2006 10:05:09 -0700
Todd Archer, of the Dallas Morning News, reports the Dallas Cowboys wil play the Philadelphia Eagles Christmas Day, but the game will be in Dallas and not in Philadelphia as previously reported. The team will have their BYE Week 3. The Cowboys will play Monday, Oct. 23, at home against the New York Giants. They will also play on the road against the Atlanta Falcons Saturday, Dec. 16. They close the season at home Sunday, Dec. 31, against the Detroit Lions.
i had to read that 7 times because i understood what you were saying.
gargano is the biggest ahole ever....hes talking all about it but wont give the games
'win loss win win loss'
'the end of the schedule is brutal'

Where did you get this?
The last six games are ridiculous.
They'd be lucky to make it out of that at 3-3.
unbelievably hard finish...but only two post nov home games which is a nice change
Need to be 6-2 with that schedule heading to the bye, because the last six games are brutal.
hey need to build a big division lead with their early schedule
4 out of 6 on the road to finish the season?
that is gonna suck.
they better lock the division up by week 11
3 division road games in a row in December. WTF
the one good thing about those 3 road games in a row is that they aren't far away games, except for the last one.
damn!! those far away games
I still smell 9-7.
I will never try to predict how a season will play out this early, schedules often look more difficult than they really are this time of year. As of right now though the end is definately difficult.
At San Francisco on 9/24 is nice. Perfect time to visit the Bay Area.
:yay
10-6 is what I'm praying for. 9-7 looks far more likely.
first impression is 10-6
10-6 is what I'm praying for. 9-7 looks far more likely.
ONE less win = FAR more likely
Yep. Glad you agree.

There it is. The Eagles will go 9-7 or 10-6, depending on the last game in Atlanta.
stop making season predictions
What is IGY's source for the sched? And why would the NFL put the Eagles AT their 3 division foes 3 weeks in a row like that. I don't buy it!
they aren't going to lose to the Giants at home, i don't think they will beat Carolina
Spadaro just announced it.

Well, I think they split with the Giants one way or another and coming off a loss in Indy, they will be fired up to beat Carolina in front of the home crowd. Of course, none of this matters if Donovan is on IR again.

We know.
Confidence was higher until that schedule popped up. Three away games is a little less brutal considering they can bus to two of them. But come on, putting a smiley face on the last month is unrealistic.

Saturday April 29th is the NFL draft and Sports Talk 950 will be broadcasting live from McFadden's at Citizen Bank Park from noon till 6pmam. This is a great opportunity for the station to be at a hot place for a huge event. Come on out for a few hours and support the station. We can't guarantee the Eagles make a great pick, but we'll guarantee you have a great time!
McFadden's on opening day on Monday was sickening. I don't know how many fire codes they broke but I'll bet they broke every one at least once.
I love the schedule. I got us at 12-4.
We'll take all 3 away games at the end of the schedule.
i wouldn't expect anything else from Philly Forever
I fully believe that the Eagles record vs. the division last year was HARDLY a credit to their teams but 100% the fact that the Eagles sucked with a QB like McMahon and the rest of the garbage they trotted out there weekly.
If they dont' take 2 of 3 of those away divisional games, I'd be shocked.
Not to mention, do we know what Indi will be like this year? Didn't they lose a ton of players?

It's not homertastic. All it means is I expect a lot different from the Eagles than you do.
Believe me though, if the Eagles piss me off and don't upgrade certain positions I want them to, that prediction will be altered significantly.
Quote from: PhillyGirl on April 06, 2006, 03:09:46 PM

Just James, Triplett and Thornton. Idiot kicker was replaced by Vinatieri so that's an upgrade. I'll be surprised if they're not in the hunt for home field advantage when we play them.
The way I see it though, I'd much rather have the tougher games at the end of the schedule, because you want to be battle tested going into the playoffs. You don't want to stroll in after beating teams like the Niners and the Packers.
I love the way the schedule is. All the games to look forward to are at the end of the year, exactly like I love them.
Plus I think the division will be highly overrated. I don't see anyone else besides the Eagles going over 9-7. Maybe Dallas will go 9-7, but thats the only team besides us I see finishing over .500. I'm not an Eli Manning fan, and I think the taterskins were a fluke last year.

How do you figure? What divisions in the NFC will be significantly better? Do share, please.
The NFC South will be a whole lot better than the NFC East, and as bad as the NFC Norris was last year I think it will be a lot better this year. I think the Packers will be improved, because they had a ton of injuries. I think the Lions getting a new QB in there and Martz to spice up the offense will be better. I think the Vikings adding Hutchinson and Childress will be better, and the Bears are a team on the rise as well.
NFC east is 2nd or 3rd toughest division in the conference. I'd say it's probably tougher than the NFC North, but I don't think by much.

Very well thought out argument there. You provided a lot of good points to add to the argument.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/SamiB/nomoto.jpg)
Look, I was the one calling for calm at the start of free agency, especially after the Bentley thing.
But THREE away games vs. division rivals on tired legs? Immediately following a MNF game against a solid team, which comes on the heels of Indy at the racetrack. Ick. I still think playoffs are a likelihood with this team AS IS, but that is freaking horrible. As we saw last season, one or two minor mistakes can turn a win to a loss, and all those games are infinitely losable.
That is crazy though. 3 straight road games? When was the last time the Eagles had 3 straight road games, and not even division games?

First of all, stop it with the NFC Norris crap. You are not Chris Berman.
That said, you use absolutely no logic to back up your opinion that the NFC South will be better than the East. You simply say it as fact without feeling the need to explain. The South looks to be one of the top two divisions, along with the East, but how can you say it's better? The Saints have big problems, even aside from Drew Brees' shoulder. The Bucs were not able to really help their team in free agency at all, are aging on defense, and still have some major questions about their offensive line to answer. The Falcons are relying on defense and Mike Vick. So long as Vick doesn't play defense for the other team by getting himself hurt or tossing up incompletion after incompletion, that should work... against lesser teams. The Panthers look good right now, but what kind of running game will they have? They are still the best team in their division, it would appear.
However, it makes no sense that you would assume that division is any better overall than the NFC East,
especially since you believe the Eagles are the best team in the division.
As for the North... nice try. You really think the addition of Childress is going to make that team better in the first year? Sure. They have no receivers, questions in their secondary, and a team chemistry that's completely gone to shtein. There is NO reason to believe the Packers will be better than they were last year. What's your thinking on that? And the Lions? Please...
Just stop. Do you even watch football?

I'm shocked to think you think the Packers are going to be better with 1) a semi-retired QB who is on the downside of his career 2) no #1 reciever 3) 2 retarded CB's in Carroll and Harris who love to give up TD's. 4) Mike McCarthy
The Lions: 1) no QB who can carry the load and 2) 2 receivers right now in Williams (15lbs overweight and skipped workouts) and Rogers (a psychological mess and also skipped workouts--nice move) who doesnt even want to be there as well 3) no left corner
Ill give you the Vikings(but Brad Johnson worries me this year) and Bears are an the upside no doubt. The 2 teams you highlighted seem to be on the downside to me thats all with a lot of improvement needs
dont you get it....the nfc east has to suck or his prediction of 12 wins looks more retarded than it already is
The Packers, Lions and yes, even the Vikings will, IMO, be worse or the same.
I think the Vikings overachieved last year...I dont' think Brad Johnson will be as good next season.

lost all three.
I watch a lot of football. The NFC East will be better than the Norris, but if you want to go record-wise, I think the two divisions will be very close. If you had to ask me which divisions had the better teams, I'd say the NFC East.
The NFC South has arguably the best team in the NFL, and not just the NFC in Carolina. They have an Atlanta team that is very good and added nice pieces with Milloy and Abraham on the defense. Tampa made the playoffs last year, and have a young QB who is only going to get better, and their defense was good last year, albeit overrated IMO. They have a young stud RB with Cadillac Williams, Galloway who had a great year, and Clayton who was disappointing last year. I expect him to bounce back, though. The Saints just stink, but will be improved with Brees and high draft picks in each round.
That is my case for the NFC South.
Looking at the NFC East this year, I see the division more like 2004 than 2005, because I think 2005 was a fluke season for the division. I don't expect next season to be a lot like 2005. There is no way Brunell is going to have a season like he did last year for Washington, and I see no way Santana Moss repeats what he did last year. I've watched a lot of Santana Moss in his career, and believe me, he played over his head last season. Washington's defense is still pretty good, but the offense sucks. I'm sorry, but the additions od Lloyd and Randle El are not going to prevent Brunell from having other 95 yard passing days. He can't play anymore, and broke down at the end of last season. Washington will hover around .500 with all things considered.
The Giants are a tough team to pick. Plexiglass Burress is as soft as they come, and Toomer is getting up there in age. I think their receiving corps is average at best, and Shockey is their best target in the offense. I think Eli Manning sucks, and is a scared baby, so the Giants don't scare me. They still have Tiki Barber who has been playing out of his mind, and he is a great player. Which is why I think the Giants will be a solid team, but not a great team. Around an 8-8 team next year. I think they played over their heads.
Dallas is probably the 2nd best team in the division, but how good can you be with a bad starting QB in Bledsoe? If he has time, he can play well, but that is a big if. They added some offensive lineman, but none that will blow you away, and lost Larry Allen who made the pro bowl and had a very good season. TO will help them, but only to a certain point. Their defense is young, but it still has a lot of problems. They have no running game either. Dallas is a 9-7 team.

That is crazy though. 3 straight road games? When was the last time the Eagles had 3 straight road games, and not even division games?
1999
lost all three.
Much different times. lol

The Packers, Lions and yes, even the Vikings will, IMO, be worse or the same.
I think the Vikings overachieved last year...I dont' think Brad Johnson will be as good next season.
The only reason why I gave him the Vikings was because I like the strides they made towards the end the year, with a team that looked like they should of been on the brink of suicide. The defensive has improved from previous years and I like the addition of Chester Taylor to the backfield, as well as T Williamson having a solid year at WR
the vikings will be better for no other reason than they dont have one of the three stooges coaching them anymore

I sort of agree with your Vikings comment that they overachieved. Brad Johnson played better than usual with the Vikings. His last season in Tampa was brutal.
But they added Taylor from Baltimore, and Hutchinson from Seattle. Their achilles heal was no running game, and I think they'll have one this season. All things considered, I think it all evens out and they are about as good as last season.
Id be surprised if Childress doesnt turn the Vikings into a threat. Even next season.

Hmmm, anyone else wonder if Childress will run the ball more than throw it?

with Hutchinson and an old QB? He'd better or that team's in trouble.
Childress probably has a lot of desire to run pent up inside him. I'd bet on a 78/22 run/pass mix this year for them.
77/23 is far more likely.
well this looks bad on paper and in april. but its pretty stupid to get worked up over a schedule. you get 8 road games and 8 home games unless youre the giants, so if win our home games, those roadies at the end arent killer. also, we have no clue how good or bad the other teams in the division will be in december. whining about it know is useless.
dont think this was mentioned, but there is some potential for snf games. the last like 8 weeks arent announced yet, and they will be selected around 2-3 weeks before the game is played.
i think it was phillygirl who bolded the sf game as a national game. its not. seattle/giants is. the game is at 415 cause all fox games are at 415 when they have the dh. the game will be in like 3 markets besides the home ones. no one wants to see the niners, they suck.

From Spew:
QuoteShould the Texans hold on to the first pick in the April 29-30 draft, the Eagles would then be in the unique position, for the third straight season, to potentially be the other team when the league's first pick makes his NFL debut. In 2004, Giants quarterback Eli Manning made his debut at Lincoln Financial Field (and received a rude welcome by Jerome McDougle) in Week 1 and last year San Francisco's Alex Smith played some mop-up time at quarterback in Week 2 at Lincoln Financial Field.
Interesting.
what a uselessly interesting little note.

I'll just go by what he said after they signed Taylor: "With Chester, he's a back that you can line up and run 30 times a game...."
That final 6 looks brutal now. But I will say the same thing now as I say every year at this time - we don't know who is going to do what and who will be zesty by the time those games roll around. So for those of you trippin out, grab your sack and make sure you have testicles and quit the cryin.
Why did they change the Christmas game? Anyone know? I heard Eskin on with Gargano when I went out to run errands today but only caught the end of it.
I like the fact that New Orleans isn't too early. I also like that we have the bye in week 9.
Eagles 6-10 , best 7-9 .
Please. :-D
Ugh, Eckel is a joke.

A few things about the schedule: As I type this, it's 6.05am over here in England. A quick check of this morning's Inquirer shows that the Dallas Xmas game is on NBC--NOT on ESPN. However, when I went to sportsline.com to confirm that, it has--TBD next to it. So that could be a Christmas special on NBC.
The three straight division road games are balanced by the fact that 3 out of their opening 5, including games against the Cowboys and Giants, are at home, and that prior to that three game stretch they have 3 straight and 4 out of 5 at home--
10/29--Jax
11/5--BYE
11/12--WASH
11/19--TN
11/26--@INDY
12/4--CAR

we will get 3 games locally every week expect week 2. if the schedule holds with the eagles at 1, there are a few weeks where we are stuck with ninerd/lions esque matchups in the 400 game (opposite the 415 big game). but as madden says, football....is football.
I always thought it was norse, not norris. It's not the roundhouse kick to the face division ...

and whys that?
three straight at home with the bye week mixed in the middle of those games easily cancels out the three road games in december
for over a month (oct 23 to nov 24) the eagles will sleep in their own beds...it doesnt get any better than that

Quote from: FFatPatt on April 06, 2006, 02:12:02 PM
The problem is that this schedule doesn't play well into the Eagles' usual modus operandi under Reid. They usually start off weak for the first 4 games or so, then play better for the middle 8, then leave some lingering questions (either due to sitting players or just because) the last 4.
I still say no more than 11 wins from this schedule, and that would be amazing.
First 4
2005: 3-1
2004: 4-0
2003: 2-2
2002: 3-1
2001: 2-2
2000: 2-2
Middle 8
2005: 2-8
2004: 7-1
2003: 7-1
2002: 6-2
2001: 6-2
2000: 6-2
Final 4
2005: 1-3
2004: 2-2
2003: 3-1
2002: 3-1
2001: 3-1
2000: 3-1
you analysis is mostly based on perception, not the reality of the record, minus the 2005 season. the record doesnt indicate the lingering questions at the end. most of the time, any lingering questions were surrounding injury...not the overall quality of play. McNabb in 2002, Westbrook in 2003, and Owens in 2004.
besides, everyone loves to moan about the hard schedule and never look to see where the eagles fall on the opponents sched.
eagles face the giants week 2. giants play the colts at home the week 1, and then go on the road to seattle in week 3. the eagles are a trap game for the giants there.
eagles play the packers in week 4. it's the 2nd roadie in a row for the packers.
eagles play the cowboys in week 5. again, it's the 2nd road game in a row for the cowboys
week 6 at the saints. saints are 3-4 before their bye in the last 7 years, one of their losses was to the birds. the saints, since 2002, are 8-12 in games immediately following division games (which week 6 is)
week 8 vs the jags. it's before the bye for the birds, that is always a dangerous spot of the birds. but this is sandwiched between 3 division games for the jags
week 10 vs the skins. right after the bye which is historically good for the eagles, and is right in the middle of a tough sched for the skins.
wk 9:vs Dallas
wk10:@philly
wk11: @tampa
wk12:vs Carolina
same thing with vs the giants in week 15
wk13: vs dallas
wk14: @ carolina
wk 15: vs philly
most of the time regardless of circumstances the better team wins the game
which is why when the schedule comes out i anaylize it as it pertains to ME...which mondays do i have off....what road game am i going to...what tuesdays do i have to take off...what are gonna be the good bar games...ect...
someone yesterday told me that week 1 was a trap game.
i almost spit in their stupid face.

I seriously think the Eagles are about 2:1 favorites to win in Houston on opening Sunday.
That means Houston has a 33.3% chance to win.
Quote from: FFatPatt on April 07, 2006, 10:14:33 AM
I don't care how weak their opponent... week 1 is ALWAYS a trap game for these Eagles.
every week 1 game is a "trap" game for any team cause you dont know what the hell the other is going to do regardless
Quote from: FFatPatt on April 07, 2006, 10:11:45 AMBTW, if this team loses in week 1 to Houston, I don't want to hear anyone say that it's only the first game and blah blah. If they lose to that crap-ass team, write "season over" in your notebook a la TMQ and root for a good 2007 pick.
Get Adrian Peterson! :D

No. Shut up with your ridiculously overblown opinions. You admittedly don't even really watch much of the NFL outside the Eagles, right? Right. And if people want to use buzz-phrases like "trap game" and "point of attack", we're going to farging use them. Hell, we put up with your butter joints and johnsons and penis butters and whatnot, so the way I see it, you have no right to even come close to telling people what terminology to use.

You admittedly don't even really watch much of the NFL outside the Eagles, right?
correct...but then neither do you....at most each week you could watch a game or two more than me...thats if i watch no games other than eagles...if i happen to watch the sunday nite monday nite or an additonal sunday game then we are essentially even...but again what does this have to do with anything...do they teach terms like trap game reach and point of attack on nfl broadcasts
all i'm saying is that it's a reach to assume that week 1 is a trap game. the eagles will be fine because of cash over cap and their strong point of attack. i can't wait to cook a golden goose for that game. yummy.

do they teach terms like trap game reach and point of attack on nfl broadcasts
No, but if you hear them enough on games and watching analysis of games on ESPN/NFLN, you should know the correct context in which to use them... and people use them in correct context most of the time.
ie:
Week 1 at Houston this year is a trap game for the Eagles, because the perceived weakness of the Houston team could lead the players to underestimate what they're up against.
The Eagles got dominated at the point of attack in 2005 on both sides of the ball.
Both are true, and both make a ton more sense than most of the garbage English you speak. So shut it.
it should only be used in college sports. These are professional athletes that really do take one game at a time because its almost the same level playing field and you cant take any team for granted. Trap games are for bookies to sway the public
Well, color me convinced.
normal human being/fan: "if the eagles lose to the texans its because they suck not because they were trapped"
geeked out super scout fan: "trap game?...hmmmmm maybe...in reality tho i cant see a 6-10 team getting trapped"
I guess that depends on whether or not you think the 2006 Eagles are really any better than the record of the 2005 Eagles. Personally, I think both the players and the fans think this team should be an improvement.
I also think using terms like "trap game" is retarded.
However, week 1 against Houston is definitely a trap game, so ha!
basically if you are playing a team you should beat its a 'trap' game....the whole notion is just nonsense
i mean do people have stats on trap games...what % of the time do teams get 'trapped'
what if you win a trap game game was it still a trap...did the trap not go off properly?
what if in the week prior to a trap game the coach tells the team at practice 'boys what we have here is a trap game be careful'...wouldnt it then cease to become a trap game since by definition a trap is something you dont see coming
ff sees the houston trap on april 7....can the eagles be so dumb so to not see on sept 10
trap this
What I really need is someone to give me a game-by-game breakdown of how in the hell the Eagles are to do any better than 10-6 this year. I just can't find any more than 10 wins on this schedule.

I dont know how much this scheduling is going to affect the Eagles draft and stance on getting a WR but it should. Mediocracy at the skill positions will not win them those last 8 games. There's no way they were expecting a schedule like that, especially at the end of the season.
So lets go FO....pull a 4-leaf clover from your ass and get somebody. Surprise me--did McPhearson say something?
i'm not reading this entire thread but i think they originally had the cowboys game on christmas scheduled in philly...then decided to swap them out because they didn't want eagles' fans throwing snowballs at TO on christmas.
that's how they wound up with 3 roadies in a row.
and dats da real butta johnson, ya heard.
To win those last 8 games, they're going to need to keep the score low. They need D (front seven) help way more then wideout help. Besides, any WR they bring in from this draft won't help much this season.

that's quite common.
last season...packers, seahawks, giants
2001...raiders, cardinals, vikings
1997...steelers, bengals (the bobby hoying shootout), giants.
i didnt say it wasnt common
they also went three in row on the road in 98 and 99
my point is its not that big a deal and their home stretch of three in a row is more of a positive than the three road games is a negative...yet people (on here and in the media) arent even commenting on that...its like the three road games in a row is so unfair and just the most brutal stretch of all-time

Sure. I think the Eagles last six games are brutal.
Wait. I already said that.
Okay - how's this... I'm thinking of attending the San Fran and Tampa games and might have some interest in the NOLA game as well. They seem to be the best candidates for roadies this year.
Also - I think the first six games or so of the season provide a really good opportunity for the Eagles to establish a decent lead in the division.
I'm also fairly confident that the Eagles record will be better than last year's.
How's that? Does that about cover it?
Alrighty then.
Well, I do have more to offer but I'm kinda busy today and I'm not terribly thrilled with your pompous, self-important, snotty tone at the moment, so I'll kindly keep my opinions to myself for now.

hold on...let me get the rope and stool. Ice, your telling me you you dont like to see this at all? The publics perception is so jaded that predictions, power rankings, etc that are made pre-season almost NEVER turn correct and it ends up opposite. You seriously act like we are so dead in the water....cracks me up.
the day i care about what espn online voters think of the eagles is the day i put a bullet in my head...but worse than that is you droppin "under the radar's"...."baby's" and "love it's"

didnt we go thru this in the morning with FFPatt? Harping on silly little words gets you nowhere brother...especially since you use the most, but thats besides the point. I understand its the online voting and I wasnt going to start the parade down Broad St because of it either--just thought it was baffling noone (public-not experts) is giving them a chance. All I was saying is that I'd rather the Eagles be "under the radar". If those words arent up to your standards, then peace. Did you eat a bad taco at that restaurant tonight?
dont EVER call me brother again
hahahaa...cmon IGY..cheer up man. Better?

Hey, I'm not a Moderator nor did I ever once complain about you. So you're crying to the wrong person...which isn't a shock. Can't stand up to the Mods so instead you'd rather single me out as the person who ruined your fun. That would be like taking your anger out on your co-workers when your boss tells you to stop goofing off.
The impression I get is that the occassional joke in the Eagles Talk section is fine, they just want the pages of stuff that's way off topic to stop. Its not a hard concept to grasp and you can stop crying to me if you don't like it, because I can't do nuthin for ya man.
You can either all shut up about this and take up your gripes with me, or you can find somewhere else to post. It's very simple.
go Eagles.

Good article from Ray D (who Im not the biggest fan of) but offers some legit insight on the schedule.
Summary:
The Eagles need a good start more than anything coming off of last season, and that's what they should get with this schedule.
Man, we're in April and you guys are already picking W's and L's for next season. Pretty brutal.
I will say though that the first half the season seems like cake, so if the Eagles start off strong those three consecutive division road games become much more easier. One thing that this Eagle team lacked last season (besides talent due to injuries) was confidence. They looked like they didn't want to compete.
With everyone healthy and a good win streak to start the season I don't see why the Eagles can return to dominance again. It's not being homerish, it's just being realistic about the division and the NFC. There are no real juggernauts.
The key, obviously, is early on though. I look at the first 4-6 games and see no reason why the Eagles can't win most/all of them. It's not a given, but they definitely look within reach.
I'm excited for this season, because, really, it's so hard to predict at this junction.
Man, we're in April and you guys are already picking W's and L's for next season. Pretty brutal.
no worse than predicting every single one of the eagles drafts picks

Yeah, but draft picks are fun to speculate on and they add to the talent of the team and subsequently the team's success. Plus, the draft is right around the corner, the beginning of the season is months away and this team isn't complete in the sense that there final roster isn't determined and you won't know what level they'll be playing at until they step on the field.
no worse that letting everyone know how many hot dogs they ate at a philths game
Yeah, but draft picks are fun to speculate on and they add to the talent of the team and subsequently the team's success
other than maybe the first rounder its fun to do that on the day of the draft right before the eagles are about to pick...why would anyone sit down a month before the draft and try to predict who the eagles will take in the 5th round...
how to guide for the eagles to make the playoffs: BEAT THE SKINS IN WEEK NINE AND THEY GET IN
the eagles have a big advantage early with three of their first five against hou gb and sf
three of their first five at home with hou and sf the road games
one tough road game in the first eight then the bye set perfectly at the mid point of the season
the skins game at home in week nine coming out of the bye is the eagles make or break game imo...they win that game and they get into the playoffs...
they shouldnt be less than 6-2 into the bye week...coming out of the bye week is two home games one being against a weak tenn team the other the aforementioned skins game...win against the skins and they could easily be 8-2...and they almost have to be because they have an unreal sked coming down the stretch
i still cant get over how ridiculously hard the final six strecth is:
at indy
car
at was
at nyg
at dal
atl
holla
So if that's what it comes down to... you're thinking ahead to 2007, huh? Since the Skins are on their way to winning the division and all.
btw... I agree with you on the schedule part.

didnt say it would happen i said thats the path they have to take
hence the HOW TO GUIDE
You missed me. That's the part I told you I agree with. That game could very well end up being a pretty big one towards winning the division or even getting at a WC.
My point was... you must think its a lost cause since, in your mind, we're so inferior to the skins.
Three straight divisional games on the road in December is laughable.
I mean, it's so brutal that not even the NFL could be that intentionally sadistic.
My point was... you must think its a lost cause since, in your mind, we're so inferior to the skins.
never said they were 'so inferior'
as usual people here yeast the things that i dont say positive about the birds...im on record as saying any of the four teams can win the division this year but that i believe the taterskins have the best team and will win it
Well, that's retarded.
That's our igy.
stupid is as stupid does
Birds-Colts may be ready for prime time
Officially, the NFL won't announce which games will be moved to a later time as part of the new flex scheduling for another couple of weeks.
But some hints in a Los Angeles Times story yesterday suggested at least one Eagles game will be switched to prime time.
The unofficial list of what the Times referred to as NBC's earmarked games included the Birds' Week 12 trip to Indianapolis on Nov. 26. That's listed as a 1 p.m. start, but don't be surprised to see that game switched to 8:15.
Two more Eagles road games, at Washington on Dec. 10 and at the New York Giants on Dec. 17, showed up in the Times story on Fox' projected list. Those games, scheduled as 1 p.m. starts, could be moved only to 4:15.
Flex scheduling will affect the starting time of games starting in Week 10. The NFL will announce the changes 12 days ahead of time, so those Week 10 changes would come out on Oct. 31 and every Tuesday thereafter through Dec. 19.
One Eagles home game that won't move is Monday, Dec. 4, vs. Carolina. Two November home games, vs. Washington on Nov. 12 and vs. Tennessee on Nov. 19, are scheduled for 1 p.m. starts.
The final Eagles home game is set for 1 p.m. on New Year's Eve vs. Atlanta. NBC and Fox won't have to announce time changes for Week 17 until 6 days beforehand, meaning that fans holding tickets won't know until Dec. 25 whether they'll attend a game that starts at 1, 4:15 or 8 o'clock.
That final weekend will feature Giants-taterskins at 8 p.m. Dec. 30 on the NFL Network, and a doubleheader on Fox and CBS on Dec. 31, in addition to the 8:15 game on NBC.
i can't think of anything worse than an Eagles/Falcons sunday night, new year's eve game
I'm going to the Eagles Giants game and a 8:15 start with the possiblity of having a 8:30 final the next day is awsome.
I read through this thread and was pretty shocked at some of the predictions. Some of you were spookily accurate.
On the other hand, some of you were retarded as hell. Well done!
:yay

everyone
No. Shut up with your ridiculously overblown opinions. You admittedly don't even really watch much of the NFL outside the Eagles, right? Right. And if people want to use buzz-phrases like "trap game" and "point of attack", we're going to farging use them. Hell, we put up with your butter joints and johnsons and penis butters and whatnot, so the way I see it, you have no right to even come close to telling people what terminology to use.
Penis butters :-D
