The Eagles open their season THIS WEEK down in Atlanta. It feels like just yesterday I was amping myself up for a 2020 Super Bowl run behind Carson Wentz. Hell, it feels like it was just a year or two ago that I was amping myself up for a 2015 Super Bowl run behind Sam Bradford (more on that in the bit).
For a non-NFC East team, Eagles fans have seen their share of big time matchups against the Falcons over the last handful of decades, including three Week 1 matchups this century. There’s a line of thinking among fans that going down to Atlanta is always a worrisome game.
