So, think the bye week might have hurt any momentum the Eagles had?

Now, look at the cumulative records of the Eagles upcoming opponents for the next month or so.

[Sect 236]

The good news is...the Eagles next 3 opponents all get a bye the week before playing the Eagles so hopefully (doubtful) their momentum will be slowed before they face the Birds?

Oh and the 4th opponent? The Falcons, who just so happen to play Thursday before they play the Birds, so they don't get a full week rest, but a couple extra days.

Job well done by the schedule makers.

This schedule sucks. I have to admit I didn't expect the team to start out 3-0. But in this case I think the timing of the bye hurt them.

Also... so many weeks between home games? There was a time (especially under Chump) when the Linc seemed to provide no home field advantage... but it seemed like we were starting to get one going this year.
