Week 1: 9/9 Eagles @ Browns, 1 pm
Week 2: 9/16 Ravens @ Eagles, 1 pm
Week 3: 9/23 Eagles @ Cardinals, 4:05 pm
Week 4: 9/30 Giants @ Eagles, 8:30 pm (Sunday Night)
Week 5: 10/7 Eagles @ Steelers, 1 pm

Week 7: BYE
Week 8: 10/28 Falcons @ Eagles, 1 pm
Week 9: 11/5 Eagles @ Saints, 8:30 pm (Monday Night)
Week 10: 11/11 Cowboys @ Eagles, 4:15 pm
Week 11: 11/18 Eagles @ Redskins, 1 pm

Week 13: 12/2 Eagles @ Cowboys, 8:20 pm (Sunday Night)
Week 14: 12/9 Eagles @ Bucs, 1 pm
Week 15: 12/13 Bengals @ Eagles, 8:30 pm (Thursday Night)
Week 16: 12/23 Redskins @ Eagles, 1 pm
Week 17: 12/30 Eagles @ Giants, 1 pm

Note the Sunday Night games in Weeks 4 and 13, the Monday Night games Weeks 9 and 12 and the Thursday Night game in Week 15.

You can't tell anything about the strength of a schedule in April but the Eagles appear to have a tough road from Weeks 4 through 11 as they play divisional opponents and (presumably) good Steelers, Lions, Falcons and Saints teams.  The division will likely be decided from Week 10 and on as the Eagles play 5 of their 6 divisional games in that stretch.

Eagles 2011 schedule released

We already knew which teams they were going to face but now we know exactly who the Eagles will play each week in the 2011 season:

Week 2: 9/18 Eagles @ Falcons, 8:20 pm (Sunday Night)
Week 3: 9/25 Giants @ Eagles, 1 pm
Week 4: 10/2 Niners @ Eagles, 1 pm
Week 5: 10/9 Eagles @ Bills, 1 pm
Week 6: 10/16 Eagles @ Redskins, 1 pm
Week 7: BYE
Week 8: 10/30 Cowboys @ Eagles, 8:30 (Sunday Night)
Week 9: 11/7 Bears @ Eagles, 8:30 pm (Monday Night)
Week 10: 11/13 Cardinals @ Eagles, 1 pm

Week 13: 12/1 Eagles @ Seahawks, 8:20 pm (Thursday Night)
Week 14: 12/11 Eagles @ Dolphins, 1 pm
Week 15: 12/18 Jets @ Eagles, 4:15 pm
Week 16: 12/24 Eagles @ Cowboys, 4:15 pm (Saturday)
Week 17: 1/1 Redskins @ Eagles, 1 pm

Note the Sunday Night games in Weeks 2, 8, 11, the Monday Night game in Week 9 and the Thursday Night game in Week 13.

You can't tell anything about a schedule in April but things look pretty good for the Eagles. It starts off pretty easy with only one 2010 playoff team in the first eight weeks, though they do have to play 4 of their first 6 games on the road. The middle stretch with games against the Bears and Patriots gets a little tougher, though both of those games are at home. For the first time in a long time the Eagles don't end the season against the Cowboys, instead playing them in Week 16 while taking on the Redskins in Week 17.

Of course, the lockout has to be lifted for any of these games to actually be played.

Home games:
Cardinals
Niners
Bears
Patriots
Jets
