Impossible.

Those people there love that game. One of my vendors is right outside of DET and my biggest customer is from there and we were talking about making a mill visit trip around the game but no shot now that it's on Thanksgiving.

It is a pretty lousy road schedule though.

If they ever play in London would you go?

no....no desire to go to london

i have a lot to digest from a tv perspective nationally, but here goes the eagles

-3 of first 4 on the road because of the phils and the pope
-lack of sunday 100 games because its not 1975 anymore and national timeslots matter. also, the eagles are (predicted to be) good. if they werent, youd have plenty of 100 sunday games.
-3 really fun looking home games: dal (425 national), nyg (mnf), dc (sat night). the rest are sunday 100 jawns. cant complain.
-surprised the eagles maxed out on primetime games.
-very surprised they are on thanksgiving again. not complaining. cant remember a team doing it in back to back years on the road.
-carolina snf is going to be a total stinkbomb. how in the world did nbc get stuck with that?
-the eagles have a couple of matchups that COULD be moved to snf, but the only one, right now, i see has a possibility is arizona.

Was curious about this one and it only happened three other times since the merger:

Kansas City 1995 (DAL)-1996 (DET)
Minnesota 1987 (DAL)-1988 (DET)
Washington 1973 (DET)-1974 (DAL)

Buffalo would have also done it in 1975-1976, but '75 was the first of two seasons where they played the game in St. Louis instead of Dallas

kc was under the old strict rules of what was a cbs (or at that time nbc) game and what was a fox game

so its the first time in a very, very long time

Interesting how the NFL arrived at Pitt-NE. They almost made it Philly, but TV considerations made them go away from it.

from nfl spokesman peter king, who of course got the access for the schedule breakdown story

Remember when they played in London and the game was on at 10am? Wish they'd play that early weekly.

Move to Hawaii, 7 AM kickoffs are wonderful.

How in the hell did they get back to back Thanksgiving games?  Beautiful.

best part is that its the early game so it doesn't split up the day....get the game out of the way then be free to eat and do whatever

or lose the early game and be pissed off for family dinner

Didinger says the Eagles won't make the playoffs because of this schedule

We're the same kids playing on his lawn that were also on Rome's?

He basically said that he looks at this schedule and doesn't see many games that Bradford can win

beasley reece just said on wip that its "the best schedule ive ever seen"
