Are the Eagles whining about the schedule?

[Zordon]

Curious if there is a lot of whining coming out of Philly considering we last played on Thursday, and they played Monday night. Plus they have to travel to Dallas. It's almost a five day difference in preparation time. Seems a little unfair considering it's a division game.

Screw THAT... we played damn near back to back games with the Thanksgiving game, then the Saints. we went a Sunday, Thurs, Thurs.... they can whine all they want to, hell maybe the packers can send em some cheese to go with it!!!

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I'm not worried about it. It's the NFL. Either you're ready to play or you aren't. We played 3 games in 12 days. The last thing I'm worried about is Philly fans whining, which they are notorious for anyway.

They played us at home and had two weeks to prepare (they had a bye the week before we played). It's philly - they'll find anything to complain about.

I agree, Don't care how Philly feels about it. We have faced tough schedules and short time between games.

After the phrase, “Are the eagles whining about...?” you could fill in any blank with the word YES!

Indeed. I think we also traveled to Philly on a short week that week, though I'd have to look it up to be sure.
Edit: I looked it up and, indeed, we played on a Monday night before travelling to philly. They had 14 days off before that game, Our boys only have 10 for this one. If anybody wants to gripe about the schedule it shouldn't be them.

Turn in your Cowboy fan card for the offense of feeling pity for an NFCE opponent.

 

[Bullflop]

The way I see it is that we've put up with tough scheluling in the past and now, it's their turn. If they can't handle it, it's their problem.

NFC East vs. NFC East
Dec-Jan divisional games since 2014

Giants: home 8, road 3
Eagles: home 7, road 6
Commanders home 6, road 6
Cowboys: home 2, road 8

This is only our second divisional home game in Dec-Jan in the last 5 seasons.

 

[Little Jr]

Lol 3 games in 11 days and 4 in 18 days. Lol we played a whole month worth of games in 18 days. I'm really not worried about someone playing 1 with 6 day rest.

 

[Idgit]

It's intentional, since we played them on the back end of their bye and they're both divisional games. This was the league adapting to the unfair advantage Dallas gets having a home game on a short week every Thanksgiving.

That's crazy.

And reminds me of the stat thrown around up here that from 2000-2012 the Dolphins had to come to NE to play in December or Jan, 9 out of 13 times.

 

[percyhoward]

That's crazy.

It's outrageous.

 

[Cowboys22]

I hope they are. Who cares! We played them at their place when they were coming off a bye.

Difficult schedules come with winning the Super Bowl. I'd take that problem.

Who cares. The game in Philly they were coming off a bye.

That's a bad discrepancy.

The eagles whine about everything anyway:

If they get penalized 1 time and their opponent ten times, they cry about the refs hate em and are out to get em.

They've never lost a game........either the refs screwed them or they beat themselves.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Last night they played against a 3rd string QB who had only been with his team for 2 weeks. That pretty much counts as a bye .
