The game doesn't count and by the time the first quarter is over, you probably won't know who any players are... but it's NFL football, Patriots @ Eagles.
- The Eagles' QB situation should be interesting to watch. Andy Reid said that Donovan McNabb will play maybe a quarter and a half, but if he plays more than 2 series I'll be shocked. With backup Kevin Kolb out with a sprain, the Eagles have only 3rd stringer A.J. Feeley and Adam DiMichele, who was just signed Wednesday. I'm not sure how much playing time DiMichele will actually get, but it should be an adventure watching him try to survive playing in his first NFL game after not even being in a training camp until yesterday.
- It should also be interesting to see the Eagles' two top picks LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin. Maclin missed about a week of camp, but seems to have picked things up quickly. With Brian Westbrook sitting out camp, LeSean McCoy got a lot of work and should get a lot of carries tonight. He's done a nice job in camp so far and fans are excited to see what he does against a live opponent.
- There are a few ex-Pats on the team. Most notably Asante Samuel, but also Dan Klecko and Ellis Hobbs.
If you have any questions about what you might see, just ask I'll do my best to answer.
