Season Opener - Eagles host Cowboys 9/4

[Hbomb]

redskin fans, "What the hell"

Cowboys are always a good draw but Skins or Lions would be the best opponent for Eagles opener.

this might be the best time to play the world champs.

It might also be a good time to play the Eagles.

I don’t think there will be a Tush Push allowed next year. The Eagles have gotten too good at it and the league won’t have it anymore that one team is essentially an auto convert on 3rd or 4th and 1.

They’re going to ban a play because one team perfects it and turned it into a cheat code.

I know. I took that into account. I don't think it gets banned yet. Mainly because it is not an exclusive Eagles trademark. Buffalo and Josh Allen are using it as well although not as often. I agree that it will ultimately get banned but probably not in time to banning in the 2025-2026 season.

If you are an elite offensive lineman, you got to love it. it only increases their value.

The opener is Cowboys @ Eagles. What a revelation!. The next big disclosure...it'll be on television. Boom!

I hope Seattle opens against Washington or Jacksonville. Let's get flying to one of the states at the ass end of the Country out of the way in week 1.

I'd like to see them get all of their East Coast time zone games done before the bye week. And I'd rather the tough part of the schedule be before the bye rather than after the bye.

Oh I'm sure the the NFL will kick off the season and make us play a Monday night game in Washington, then a Sunday game in Jacksonville, and then a Thursday game against a division rival...

Seems about par for the course.

Eagles 34
Cowboys 13
Three more tush-push TDs. Dak leaves field in third quarter with ruptured labia.

Sounds about right, and the Joe Milton era begins.

I dunno, I think most of America will enjoy seeing Dallas beaten up on national TV to start the season, even if it's Philly doing the damage. Not a bad game for the defending champs to start the season IMO.

you follow football?

He is very popular and has the number one rookie selling jersey. I definitely can see him starting game 1 if the Browns owner had anything to say sbout it.

You mean Rams

Better matchup but still third.

Division rival is the best unless you have the possibility of SuperBowl rematch.

Battle not everything has to be about your team..

 

[Iggloo]

I would say the Rams were definitely the toughest matchup Philly faced last year in the playoffs. But they could not stop Saquon in either the playoffs or the regular season, and I see little reason to expect that to change now given that Philly returns 10 of 11 offensive starters. I ain't worried about no Rams!

Commanders? A little bit, if I am being honest.

The eagles don't play the Browns.

Yeah...

But....

The trash talk between now and then will surely be entertaining.

Not talking about the Eagles. I'm talking about putting the Browns on that TNF game instead of the Eagles game.

That'd be one of the dumbest decisions ever. Plus the SB Champs have opened on Thursday for like 2 decades now.

Over? We winning it all tgis year.

Wasn't this the beginning of the Dave Campo era?

Worst era in Cowboys history.
