With the talks between the Jets and Aaron Rodgers becoming more serious AND that it appears Jets owner Woody Johnson wants Rodgers as the Jets quarterback, this could have a direct impact on when and were the Eagles open up:

Since the Eagles are very likely to be playing at least Week 1 (and possibly Week 2) in prime time, it presents a very interesting option if Rodgers indeed is traded to the Jets. Would the NFL have the Eagles open in The Meadowlands either on Sunday or Monday night football (MNF is on ESPN and ABC in Week 1) with the Eagles then playing their home opener in Week 2 again on either SNF or MNF (depending on which they play on in Week 1)? I suspect NBC would want to have Rodgers' Jets debut on SNF and that would mean the Eagles would likely open in The Meadowlands against the Jets, especially given doing that would eliminate the potential issues with the Eagles opening at home on SNF (Phillies play the Marlins at 1:05 on Sunday 9/10) or MNF (Phillies are off that day, however, it's in the middle of a homestand and MLB might very well request the NFL not schedule the Eagles for a home game that day in case the Phils have to make up a game that had been previously rained out that Monday) whereas the Phillies are on the road in Week 2. I do think if the Eagles did open with the Jets in The Meadowlands on MNF, they would play their home opener in Week 2 in an ABC-only MNF game (Week 2 has two MNF games, one on ESPN at 7:15 and the other on ABC at 8:30).
