Good thing we live in the good USA and not N. Korea. Mannix has his thoughts and you have your thoughts, we don’t have to agree on the same thing here in the USA like over there.
Until someone wants to cancel someone else because they don't agree on the same thing. Then it's as North Korean as apple pie.

I hear you but could see Mannix point and your point. From his point, being a Heels fan and dook being our arch rival, say in college basketball we play the same 3 out of conference opponents Kentucky, Kansas and UConn. The heels have to go to all 3 for away games and dook gets to play all 3 in Durham. That would be totally unfair but get it. So I get it but let’s move on. Peace and One Love!!!!

And at the end of the season, when some of these teams are below .500. Some on here will say, we played a weak schedule.
True, but all that matters is of that team was above .500 at the time they played them.

There's nothing unfair about a schedule that gets pre-determined years in advance. 4 years ago we had all those teams at home and Philly had them on the road. In 4 years, we'll get them all at home and Philly will have them all on the road. Not unfair, pre-determined rules. Just like the NFL rulebook itself that many around here struggle with. All teams agree to abide by them before the season starts.

Yes, I know this and can see both sides but all people can see if different, regardless and I respect all posts regardless of the point of view.

Of the 13 remaining regular season games, only 2 are against teams currently below .500.

Weeks 10 and 11, Giants and Panthers.

Given our lacklustre, mailed in performance against Arizona, I like the fact that we are going to get tested on a very regular basis prior to any potential play off games.
There have only been four games so far. Good lord.

10 teams are under 500. We have played four of them and are the reason several are under 500.

Please don't cite statistics without context -- otherwise you just say meaningless stuff.

That's Philly's upcoming schedule. Only the Jets have a losing record and they lost to Dallas and KC (barely). Their next game against a bad team is Christmas at home against NY.
They end the season against the Giants/Cardinals/Giants. Those two will be playing for early draft picks by then. 10 games left to get far enough in front of Philly to win the division.

I’m glad only two teams are currently below 500. That leaves only two possibilities of not showing up and laying another egg.

I can’t see us getting the 1 seed with that schedule. Most likely gonna have to go on the road in January.

The 'context' is that 8 of our remaining games are against teams widely expected to make the play offs and 3 are against teams on the cusp of being play off teams. It's a schedule that forces us to be at our most focused, which I am pleased about.

I will say this Seattle looks really good. Young and talented. Thank goodness we get them in Dallas.
Yeah, but the Giants were awful. Prior to last night's game, their D had given up 300+ passing yards in each of their first three games.

This really is a brutal schedule. Its good in that it will prepare us well for the playoffs. But fans are going to have to expect losses. 12 wins would be incredible with this schedule.

To be clear, I wasn't saying there was some conspiracy with the SF, Buffalo and Miami games, im just saying it's a huge advantage for the eagles. Because we have to win the division.

We gotta really earn it this year to get it and rightfully so.

@sf @buffalo @miami

eagles get them all at home
But, but, but, there is no conspiracy....everything is worked out years in advance who we play. TRUE, but my problem is WHERE we play them....something is crooked....especially given that we are supposed to have an easier schedule than Philly....its as if there is ZERO thought to WHERE the games are played.
