Dallas improved more so then the Eagles. Then N.O.,Sea,SF,Balt, and probably GB.  We will be lucky to win 2 of those games.  

Optimistic 10-6

Realistic  9-7

Possible trainwreck 8 or 9 losses

Based on the schedule, here's my possible schedule of Eagles games I'll attend:

Week 1 (09/13): at Redskins, 1 PM - definitely (live in DC area)

Week 2 (09/20): vs Rams, 1 PM - possibly (Fox can only televise one game, Redskins play at 4:05 PM on Fox, but Rams/Eagles will probably be televised in Baltimore)

Week 3 (09/27): vs Bengals, 1 PM - very likely (Eagles game on CBS, Fox has doubleheader, Redskins play at 1 PM on Fox, Channel 9/CBS in DC will probably televise 4:05 PM game, Channel 13/CBS in Baltimore most likely will televise Texans/Steelers at 1 PM)

Week 4 (10/04): at 49ers, 8:20 PM - no

Week 5 (10/11): at Steelers, 1 PM - unlikely (probably will visit parents in Lehigh Valley that weekend; if I don't attending this game becomes very likely due to Redskins game at 1 PM on Fox)

Week 6 (10/18): vs Ravens, 1 PM - almost definitely no (Channel 9/CBS in DC will almost definitely televise this game)

Week 7 (10/22): vs Giants, 8:20 PM - no

Week 8 (11/01): vs Cowboys, 8:20 PM - no

Week 9 (11/08): bye

Week 10 (11/15): at Giants, 1 PM - very likely (Redskins on Fox at 1 PM; only way I wouldn't attend, assuming Eagles and Redskins games both stay at 1 PM, is if Redskins game is cross-flexed to CBS and Eagles game stays on Fox)

Week 11 (11/22): at Browns, 1 PM - unlikely (probably will visit the parents that weekend; if I don't attending this game becomes very likely due to Redskins and Ravens both playing at home on CBS at 1 PM, blacking out Fox at 1 PM in both DC and Baltimore)

Week 12 (11/30): vs Seahawks, 8:15 PM - no

Week 13 (12/06): at Packers, 4:25 PM - very unlikely

Week 14 (12/13): vs Saints, 4:25 PM - very likely (Redskins on Fox at 4:25 PM; only way I wouldn't attend is if Eagles game shifted to 1 PM or Sunday night)

Week 15: (12/20): at Cardinals, 4:05 PM - possibly (Fox can only televise one game per market, Redskins on Fox at 1 PM, but Eagles/Cardinals will probably be televised in Baltimore)

Week 16 (12/27): at Cowboys, 4:25 PM - no

Week 17 (01/03): vs Redskins, time TBA - no

To sum up, it looks like I'll most likely attend the home games against Cincinnati (Week 3) and New Orleans (Week 14) and the road games against Washington (Week 1) and the Giants (Week 10).

There's a couple of them brah. Early in the season I'm going to say Balt. If they can shut Lamar down in the run game and make him throw outside the numbers at my guy big play Slay, we be poppin Hennessy and slayin sloots after that game

We improved more then GB. Feel like we will finally beat NO or Seattle this year

Give me a break with 7-9/8-8 garbage.

They were 9-7 last year and they have a tougher schedule, so one less win is capable of happening.

We finally got Rodgers and GB  off our back.

Next up is Seattle. We have played them enough that I think Doug has figured out what he needs to do to stop Wilson, because that's literally the main thing standing between us and a W vs. Seattle. We came really close in the playoffs.

I'm sick of facing the cowboys late every season. Everytime they play the Eagles are missing like 10 starters.

Makes the victory even sweeter, like last year

With the possibility at least one if not more games are shifted to Saturday if there is no college football this fall with if so possibly three games every Saturday (1:00, 4:30 and 8:15 split up between FOX, CBS and NFL Network), I can see Week 2 vs. the Rams shifted to an 8:15 Saturday game on FOX, Week 3 vs. the Bengals shifted to a 1:00 PM Saturday game on NFL Network, Week 6 vs. the Ravens shifted to an 8:15 Saturday game on CBS and/or Week 11 at the Browns shifted to a Saturday 1:00 or 4:30 PM ET game on FOX.   I suspect college football will be delayed until January or February because if some states are not able to have their schools field teams in September, I can see the Attorney Generals of such states threaten lawsuits unless ALL of the conferences and/or the NCAA kowtows and delays CFB until such schools, particularly in most likely California can go.

All I know is... if the NFL intends to have fans in the stands they are damn fools. Hopefully states are smart enough to continue the large gatherings ban. Sorry folks... we're doing this for the rest of the year unless we want a spread like wild fire.

If Eagles start of 4-0 the Super Bowl talk is going to get out of hand. Even though 4-0 won’t be that impressive considering the first 3 games are versus Haskins, Tyrod Taylor, and Joe Burrow.

Tyrod Taylor?   

Whoops I thought it was the LA Chargers. Disregard

I think the Eagles could very well be 3-0 going into SF on prime time. I think that's the true test if this will be a big year or not. 

They should be 3-0.  No excuses.

Packers at Green Bay for the second year in a row....WTF!!!!

Close friend from college loves in Wisconsin and family has had Packers season tickets since the 90s. I want to say it was 3 consecutive years the eagles played a game at Green Bay, as I went to every one of them (last one meeting @Dawkins 20 at a pre-game party). 
 

two years in a row is LIGHT WORK n00b!

As long as they take care of business the previous 14 games, it wont matter.

10-6

Can we have one year where we don't have to play the sea chickens?

We had half our team injured. That isn't happening again.

Yeah that doesn't make sense. Why do we have to go to them 2 years in a row?

Yeah I thought it was based on strength of schedule and given they finished ranked higher than us surely they should be on the road to Philly.

This is a big reason why I think college football will be delayed until January or February.  

8-8

It’s decided years in advance. Last year, we played the entire north division in the opposite location we played them in 2016. This coming year, we were scheduled to play the common finishing NFCN winner on the road regardless of who that was. It just happened to be GB. 
 

The schedule is all based on a rotation, and aside from knowing two common finishing teams, the locations of the games will be known well in advance. 

It is a tough schedule.  Many play-off teams and much-improved teams.  Doug and his coaches have some challenges.

3 of the last 4 years we open vs the Redskins
