2018 season opener has the Eagles...

[oldunclemark]

...hosting Minnesota...according reports that have not been confirmed.

 

I hope that's it.  That would be a big, big conference game in week one

Ya its going to be a fun game to watch. Carson Wentz comeback game vs the new and improved Vikings with Kirk Cousins. 2 dominant offenses, and 2 dominant defenses, both with good upgrades this offseason. Both will probably be preseason top 3 in the power rankings, maybe even top 2.

For me the NFC was second choice when it comes to choosing which game to watch. Not so this year with the Eagles, Viks, Rams, Saints, Falcons, Packers.

Maybe...there was video of him throwing already.....and yet we can't get any of Luck lol. That said I wouldn't be surprised if Foles starts the season...no reason to rush Carson along.

Sounds like a great way to start the season! I'm ready for week 1. I miss football!

And we get teased with 4 (almost) football games before the start..

Tough matchup for Cousins right off the bat.

Preseason games are a travesty. That said they will be important to a young team like the Colts to get them up to speed. Also Andrew may be really rusty.

Tough matchup for anyone, including Tom Brady. And the game is in Philly.

 

It is absurd for fans to say that someone on his new team "can't win the big one" after just one game. But ya never know.

Well it was like that with Peyton. The media and others write their stories...inaccurate and unfounded they don't care. Until Kirk does that he will have the same label as he had in Washington. Basically he is seen as the next Tony Romo.

Wentz wont be starting week 1, the Eagles are invested in him long term, they have 0 reasons to rush him back when you have Nick Foles who just won you a superbowl as a backup. Rumor is Foles might start the first 3 or 4 games.
