My sources tell me that the Eagles will host the Vikings for the 2018 opening night of the NFL

It seems the Vikings dont like the Eagles. What days are good for wearing purple by the way?

I won't lie, I'm not very thrilled about it, but Vikes @ Eagles NFC Championship rematch is easily the most marketable game to open the season with. Of course the NFL couldn't resist that after the Vegas favored Vikings got destroyed in Philly along with Cousins joining Minnesota and Foles likely starting week 1 for Philly.

I like the Vikings' chances much better in an early regular season game than a road playoff game in Philly, but I still can't even remember the last time Minnesota wasn't soundly beaten by Philly. It's likely to be a very big game for both teams with potential tie-breaker implications in the playoffs.

All kidding aside, I got a huge feeling the chip on the Vikings shoulder is gonna be huge for this game!

I guess the NFC Championship game rematch makes sense, but I thought 99% sure it would be an NFC East team and 90% sure it would be Dallas.

Here you go...

In 7 career games against the Eagles, Kirk Cousins is 4-3 with 17 touchdowns averaging 300 yards a game.

He might just be your savior.

Hope he sucks:suds:

There trying to boost ratings, that would've only lowered the standards even more.....

The Vikings will need that chip on their shoulder if they want to beat Philly. Just like last season, the NFC teams that scare me the most are Philly and New Orleans. I would add the Packers due strictly to Aaron Rodgers, but I think Green Bay is a season or two away from taking the NFC North back from the Vikings unless Mike Zimmer's defense totally implodes or Kirk Cousins plays below average.

Good Point. Plus we don't want to crush that Super Bowl high in week one. We'll play you a couple weeks later and let it linger a little longer...

Though it would've been cool if they had scheduled the Cowgirls to visit Philly opening night, and Uncle Jerry was to meet the commish at mid field to exchange the $2 million dollar fine levied by our beloved commish.....

And Lurie could give him the $10M for convincing all of the other teams to finally let the Eagles win. Come on, did you really think Nick Foles could win you a SB:noidea:

Well, you have to go on the road week 2. Your options are......
@NYG
@Was
@NO
@TB
@Ten
@LAR

If eagles@saints are TNF if Fox gets what they want putting game of the weeks on TNF, then eagles are probably not playing them week 2. Looks like if they have a game of the week it would have to be the rams.

Dallas is playing at home week 1 so they're not a option week 2.
