Examining Washington Football Team’s Week 1 opponent: Philadelphia Eagles

As I sit down to write this, the return of NFL football is less than one week away and my own countdown clock to the season-opening kickoff between the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles has ticked down to 157 hours.
I know we’ve all been inundated with WFT roster moves and position battles, so I figured it was about time to look at the rest of the NFC East, and who better to begin with than those hated Eagles.
