The Philadelphia Eagles' 2016 schedule has been revealed (click here) and everyone's had a chance to react to what they've seen. Bleeding Green Nation will have more reaction in the coming days but for now let's take a look at some quick observations.
Everyone's first reaction is that they hate the bye week being in Week 4. I agree. That's too early. The only good thing about it is that it comes before two straight road games.
Eagles will host all 3 of their NFC East rivals in the final 4 weeks of the season for the 1st time in franchise history.

Eagles set to travel 11,272 miles roundtrip in 2016 season.
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) April 15, 2016
Seattle = 4,758 miles
7 other away games combined = 6,514 miles
Eagles will leave the Eastern Time Zone just three times this season. They travel to Central Time Zone twice and Pacific Time Zone once.

In week 17, Eagles host Cowboys with extra rest (they play a Thursday game in Wk 16) while Cowboys have short rest after a MNF game

This will be the 10th straight year at least one of the Eagles-Cowboys games is played in prime-time.

Bad news: Seahawks-Packers Bengals trio Weeks 11-13 is nasty.
TEN 1:00 games!!!

QBs Eagles face in 2016: Rodgers, Big Ben, Wilson, Romo, Manning, Flacco, Ryan, Dalton & Stafford. Schwartz's D will be tested for sure.

With preseason opener on Aug. 11, veterans will report to training camp 15 days before -- so July 27.
