You guys are right when you talk about timing. Three straight division road games is a terrible hurdle to overcome. Of course the flipside of that is the Eagles have more home games earlier in the season, so they should look to jump out to a hot start and try to sustain it through that tough December stretch.

Sometimes you get to three straight road games and you're playing red hot. Sometimes you get to three straight home games against soft opponents and you're playing ice cold. Sometimes your opponents have great games, sometimes they have down games. The timing can mean the difference between 10-6 and 9-7 very easily.

Thing is nobody can complain about it. If you're executing well enough, you should be able to overcome the ups and downs.
