It Begins With The Boys
Posted May 12th, 2025 | 3 Comments »The full NFL schedule will be released on Wednesday. The league is letting the various networks announce some key games before then. They want to build excitement and find another way to dominate the sports news.
We already know a few Eagles games.
We’ll be waiting all summer for this INCREDIBLE NFL Kickoff showdown.

Dallas at Philadelphia. The first game of the season. The Eagles get their Super Bowl rings. So many storylines, so much drama. Maybe. As Jimmy Bama pointed out, the Eagles outscored Dallas 75-13 in 2024. The Cowboys should be an improved team this season. Will they be good enough to compete with the Eagles and other top contenders?
The advantage for Dallas is that they will have a new coach and there won’t be tape to study. They can throw some interesting wrinkles at the Eagles. How will the Dallas offense look with George Pickens in the mix?
The advantage for the Eagles is that they have better players. That’s a good advantage to have.
It will be fun for the Eagles to be celebrating their Super Bowl in front of the fans at The Linc, and in front of the Cowboys. Dallas hasn’t celebrated like this since 1996. I’m sure watching the festivities will drive Jerry Jones a bit crazy. This could be a glorious start to the season. There is always the chance Dallas pulls a big upset, but they haven’t beaten Jalen Hurts on the road so this will be an uphill battle for them.
When was the last time Dallas-Philly was Week 1? You might remember the game.

That was one amazing day. Easily my favorite season opener of all time. Dallas was on the decline. We thought the Eagles were ascending, but needed some proof. Boy did we get it that day. Duce Staley ran for 201 yards. The defense knocked Troy Aikman out of the game.
The next game also features an NFC East battle.

This could be a huge game. Washington and Philly should be the two best teams in the NFC East. This game could be to win the division or at least control the race down the stretch. The Eagles lost at Washington last season. To be fair, Hurts missed most of that game and the Eagles had the lead when he went out. That was also the game where CJGJ got ejected. The Eagles didn’t lose after that so in a way it feels like the Eagles should say thank you. Blowing a game in December is much better than blowing one in January.

So the Eagles will definitely play on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this season. I’m not a fan of that, but my old man ways aren’t a good match for the new-fangled NFL. Let’s broadcast 24/7/365! Or more!!
The Bears could be one of the most improved teams in the league this season. They addressed the OL aggressively and hired a gifted offensive mind. If Caleb Williams doesn’t succeed, that’s on him. Will anything crazy happen in this game? Will there be fog? Will there be a double-doink? Make yourself a turkey sandwich and we’ll see what craziness the teams have in store for us this season.
