We’ve made it.

Another year of Eagles football begins this afternoon, as the Birds are kinda in Washington, D.C. (Landover) to take on the Redskins in an NFC East battle.

Doug Pederson has said everyone on the active roster is healthy for today’s game. Meanwhile for the Redskins, linebacker Ryan Anderson (stinger/neck), center Spencer Long (knee), and wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hip) are listed as questionable for today’s matchup. Crowder and Long are expected to play. Meanwhile, Ian Rapoport is reporting tight end Jordan Reed is dealing with a fractured big toe.

We’ll continually update this post as the game goes along. And check out our predictions to see how good (or probably bad) we guessed this game.

4:10 – The Eagles win. They’re 1-0.

Final stats for the Eagles:

Carson Wentz: 26 of 39 for 307 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT
LeGarrette Blount: 14 carries for 46 yards, 1 receiving TD
Zach Ertz: 8 receptions for 93 yards
Nelson Agholor: 6 receptions for 86 yards, 1 TD
Fletcher Cox: 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery, 1 TD
Brandon Graham: 2 sacks
Jalen Mills: 1 INT
Eagles recovered three total fumbles

Final Redskins stats:

Kirk Cousins: 23 of 40 for 240 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 4 rushes for 30 yards
Rob Kelley: 10 carries for 30 yards
Chris Thompson: 3 carries for 4 yards, 4 receptions for 52 yards, 1 TD
Terrelle Pryor: 6 receptions for 66 yards
Ryan Kerrigan: 1 INT, 1 TD

4:00 – Brandon Graham forces Kirk Cousins to fumble and Fletcher Cox scoops and scores. Somehow, it looked like it would be an incomplete forward pass, but a call went our way for once.

Wentz finds Jeffery for the two-point conversion and the Eagles lead 30-17. Reason for that is because Sturgis hobbled off the field after the previous kickoff.

3:53 – After flirting with the idea of going for it on 4th and 1 deep in Washington territory, Doug Pederson calls a timeout and kicks a field goal (even if the math says to go for it). Sturgis nails it from 27 and the Eagles lead 22-17. 1:59 left.

3:32 – Kirk Cousins throws too high for Crowder and Jalen Mills picks it off. Wag that finger young man, that’s his first career interception.

3:30 – Hoping it’s just a bathroom break.

Probably was. He got out there shortly after.

3:23 – After three quarters, the Eagles somehow have a 19-17 lead.

3:16 – Dustin Hopkins makes a 33-yard field goal to trim the Eagles lead to 19-17. 2:06 left in the third quarter.

3:12 – Destiny Vaeao is questionable to return.

2:57 – Sturgis makes a 42-yard field goal. Eagles up 19-14.

2:55 – This was not call.

2:50 – Second half underway. Jason Peters is back in. And now he’s not. Big V back in.

2:40 – Halftime stats for the Eagles:

Carson Wentz: 15 of 22, 180 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT

LeGarrette Blount: 8 carries for 32 yards, 1 receiving TD

Terrelle Pryor: 2 receptions for 24 yards on four targets

2:35 – Caleb Sturgis nails a 50-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 16-14 lead at the half. They’ll also have the ball to start the third.

2:34 – Let’s make things worse!

Stefen Wisniewski is in for Peters.

2:23 – Touchdown Redskins. Cousins finds Chris Thompson, who gets by three broken tackles for the 29-yard score. 14-13 Washington with 1:17 left in the first half.

2:04 – Eagles officially say Darby is done for the game with a right ankle injury.

2:01 – More bad things for the Eagles: Wentz throws a pick-six to Ryan Kerrigan for 24-yards. Stacy McGee tipped the pass. Eagles lead 13-7.

1:52 – Ronald Darby down on the field after covering Jordan Reed. Something with his ankle in a weird way.

Yikes. He’s being carted off now with the team looking on.

1:49 – Wentz finds LeGarrette Blount for a one-yard touchdown pass. It’s his second career receiving touchdown. Caleb Sturgis misses the extra point. 13-0 Birds.

1:42 – We’ve made it through one quarter. Eagles lead 7-0. Carson Wentz is 6 of 7 with 96 yards and a touchdown. Cousins is 2 of 8 with 41 yards.

1:39 – After a weird 3rd and 1 call to run the ball in shotgun formation, the Eagles punt, Crowder muffs the punt, and Trey Burton recovers. Just how Doug drew it up! Dave Fipp is back.

1:32 – Terrelle Pryor dropped an easy touchdown pass right after the fumble recovery. Beat Ronald Darby.

1:28 – I have no clue what the Eagles just did, but Wentz overthrew a screen pass to Agholor and the Redskins recovered the ball. Why? Could Michael Lombardi be right after all?

1:22 – The Eagles’ defense continues to shine. Fletcher Cox forces a Cousins fumble and Jordan Hicks recovers.

1:15 – Wentz getting out of pressure on third down and finds Nelson Agholor (!) for a 58-yard touchdown. Eagles lead 7-0. My god.

1:08 – Good start for the Eagles on defense. Nigel Bradham nearly had an interception off of Cousins. Pryor already targeted three times on six total plays. Also on the kickoff, Corey Clement made the tackle. Eagles with the ball at their own 44.

1:03 – Eagles win the coin toss, but defer to the second half. Redskins will start with the ball. The Eagles are back.

12:50 – The Eagles are ready.

11:40 – Howard Eskin has an update on the Jon Dorenbos trade. Draft pick going back to the Saints:

11:30 – The Eagles have announced inactives for today’s game:
