Unless that game is on TNF? Which would be even better. The game in Brazil is on Friday night right after the opening game on Thursday between Ravens and KC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has the potential to be a damaging sequence of games. Week 10: at Cowboys 4:25 Week 11: Commanders 8:15 (TNF) Week 12: at Rams (SNF) while that would suck, getting a mini-bye before the WC trip would be nice.

Week 17 matchup has the potential to be flexed into primetime though. Also, while I get Dallas vs Washington and Philly vs Giants are the primary rivalries, matching up again with the Giants on week 18 seems like such a waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) If true..... Week 13: at Baltimore Ravens, 4:25p - Week 14: vs. Carolina Panthers, 1:00p - Week 15: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, 4:25p - Week 16: at Washington Commanders, 1:00p - Week 17: vs. Dallas Cowboys, 4:25p - Week 18: vs. New York Giants Thats almost a 2 month stretch where the Eagles are home or taking a short flight/bus trip for a game. 👍 Edited May 15 by Nabbs4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main gripe is the Brazilian BS I guess a lot of players prefer a bye around week 5 or 6 since they've been working hard at training camp for a month leading up to the season already.

My main gripe is the Brazilian BS We have had pretty good bye weeks for the most part. Earliest we’ve had recently is week 7 in 2022. Before that was week 4 bye in 2016. And, I’m cool with Brazil, but glad they are getting it out of the way in week 1. We also get extra rest from Friday to MNF in week 2, so that’s kinda an advantage… albeit a lot less of one in the beginning of the year.

If we were ever going to Brazil for a game, you can not beat Week 1. Most Vets won't be playing in the last Preseason game so they will be rested. Getting the extra 2-3 days before a MNF game will help with a day wasted traveling, give them extra rest when back in Philly. Other then losing a Home Game to Brazil Week 1/2 couldn't of worked out better all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 We do have some advantages.. Also, that week 11 to 12 will be a mini bye week after TNF at home against Washington before playing SNF against the Rams in LA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their fans travel too. Not sure if they do it as well as Eagles fans or not, but yeah. Green Bay is the most popular team in Brazil, so they should have a good amount of locals too. I really wanna be able to start the season 2-0 with a win over prime time Kirk in week 2 like we have the past 2 seasons, but I'd be lying if I wasn't concerned with GB, especially with how Jordan Love was playing the last third of the season. Should be a pretty good game and we get it a little earlier which is cool. Edited May 16 by TheRealMcCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltman Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Lurie was like I’ll give up a home game for Brazil but ima need to not get screwed by teams coming off the bye, keep me off planes in December and make Dallas play like everyone else for once 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
