2007 opponents

Sounds like havoc.  Someone might even swear!!

I'd invite you over for the game, but you might spontaneously combust in seeing eight bibles on the bookshelf and the Baptist minster in the living room.

Making NE the roadie is good since it's got good nightlife & easy to reach via car/train. The only thing that bites is that most people would have to make the trek up on gameday, since it's Thanksgiving the day before.

Well... that, and the little thing that the Eagles are going to get their asses whooped.

Oh, I'm very aware of that.

Games against NE = Games against Indy

So, where's the problem?

I'm surprised a lot of you penciled the Jets in as a win and the Bears as a loss. Right now I see it the other way. The Jets do come off of a NY game against the Giants the week before and the Eagles come off a bye, but an AFC game on the road against a playoff team worries me. Everyone knows how the Eagles fair against quality AFC playoff teams.

Also the Bears lost their best RB, could possibly be without their second best defensive player in Briggs, and are coming off a Superbowl loss. I don't know, I just don't see the Bears being as good this season.

History lesson Part 1-

In 1977, '78, and '03, the Eagles played the Jets and Giants back to back and in every one of those years, the Eagles swept the two games--and that includes under Reid, in the Miracle of the Meadowlands Pt2.  The '78 game was the original Miracle of the Meadowlands, after the Eagles beat the Jets the previous week 17-9 at the Vet.

History lesson Part 2-

In only one of those years were the games played either both away or both home--that would be 1977 when the Eagles beat the Giants 17-9 and then the Jets 27-0 to close out the year with both games being home games.


History lesson Part 3-

The Eagles are 7-0 against the Jets since the merger.



On another front, did anyone notice that on October 28, when the Eagles are in Minny, all the games are an hour earlier than usual, thanks to the Giants-Fins over here in London? All the early games that day are at 12 and the late games are at 3.05 or 3.15--and according to NFL.com, that's Eastern time. That would make the game over here in London at 5pm--to get to Wembley from where I live, it will take me two hours on the tubes, so I'll have to leave at 1pm, get there by 3pm, and have just enough time to browse around the upgraded stadium, before I take my seat at 4.30. My question for you guys--I wonder if the Philly area is going to get the Minny game, or is Fox going to show the Giants-Fins exclusively that day. I know here it will defintely be the Giants game--but we'll have an interactive choice to follow at least two other games. This will be the only Eagles game I'll miss as I'm planning on taking my nephew to the Fins and Giants--it'll be his first NFL game.

My favorite Jets/Eagles game was the one where they were 1-15 and their head coach was Kotite. It Hugh Douglas' rookie year and the Eagles were fighting for a playoff spot. It was on Saturday afternoon and the Eagles won by a point. Adrian Murrell was the running back for the Jets.

I win. Points.

Remember when Aaron Glenn grabbed Fryars hand warmer that was strapped around his waste, pulled it off as Fryar was running down field to score and threw it at him?  That game scared the crap out of me.  Murrell, Hawaii boy.

then they took keyshawn which was the last time a WR went #1 overall

Ah, the 1996 draft... where Ray Rhodes took a one-eyed guard from Nowhere A & I one spot ahead of Ray Lewis, the best linebacker (and sharpest shooter) of his generation.

Good times.

I'm whoring myself out this weekend for Eagles Tickets.  The guy i get my tickets from needs a baby sitter, every year my wife and i watch his 3 kids for a weekend just so i get 2 tickets guaranteed.  I feel dirty but very excited at the same time

[Diomedes]

Sounds more like your buddy is whoring his kids out and you're feeling dirty but excited for obvious reasons, sicko.

[Seabiscuit36]

You caught me    The guy is my connect for Flyers/Eagles/and Phils tickets.  I have to say to all the parents out there i have no idea how you guys do it.  3 days of 3 kids is enough for me

[BigEd76]

I wonder if the Philly area is going to get the Minny game, or is Fox going to show the Giants-Fins exclusively that day.

If FOX showed a Giants game instead of an Eagles game in the Philadelphia market, there'd be hell to pay...

Booze and narcotics.
