Eagles' 2009 Schedule Rotation

Now that the 2008 schedule has been announced, here is a look at the regular-season scheduling rotation for 2009 under the new realignment plan.

A key factor in deciding the initial schedules was the displacement of certain teams from their traditional divisions in the new alignment that was instituted in 2002 with the addition of the Houston Texans.

These season schedules will take each team through a cycle of games - home and away - against every other team in the league. In these seven seasons, every team will play every other team at least twice - once home and once away. After the 2009 season, a decision will be made on whether to continue with the same rotation or modify it. The following chart reflects the Eagles' upcoming opponents in three categories: IntraConference by Division; InterConference by Division; and IntraConference by Position.

Keep in mind, not taken account in the chart are the three division opponents -- Dallas, Washington and NY Giants.
