Is anyone else enjoying the Eagles implosion?

The Eagles are hyped up every year, it's not really a surprise to me anymore.

I hate Eagles fans more than any other fan base by a very very large margin. I would much rather beat Philly than Dallas and I hate Dallas.

i hate both the eagles and their fans. but McNabb wasn't cheering for Kolb's int. it just so happened a chunky soup commercial was playing on the jumbo tron, featuring his mom

Yup. They're currently the "best .500 team in football." Sigh. They are given the benefit of the doubt SO often it's gross. Andy Reid and Donovan McBench (or McTie?) need to go away.

Eagles Owe Philly $8M? cant these guys do anything right?

It is the air that I breath..........sweeet

While it's true that McNabb has perhaps been overrated - in that he is probably not a hall of famer - one need only glance at some of the other starting qb's in the league to see that McNabb remains an asset to that team. And Reid has been a consistently excellent coach. It is so fitting that those foaming at the mouth moronic bird people are myopically chasing two legends out of their organization without a second thought towards what that will mean for the team long term.

I love that this is happening because it allows me to reconcile my deep respect for McNabb and Reid as competitors and genuinely decent people with my loathing for everything Philly sports related (hell, I even rooted against Smarty Jones!) When McNabb is 6-3 for the Vikings next year and Kolb has already thrown 20 int's one might hope that the Philly fans will realize what boobs they 've been - although it's much more likely they'll just throw batteries at Kolb and the new coach. Rot in sports hell Philly.

When Mike Irvin is on the strecther injured and fans cheer then you know they're jerks..Mcnabb and Reid is what broght them within reach of a Championship. if those two are gone which will happen..then they'll be in the cellar

Watch at the 30-second mark!

I'm going to guess that you're just joking...otherwise, you must be out your g'damn mind!

Regardless of karma, dharma, etc. I always delight in seeing the Eagles struggling. They just don't belong with the Redskins, Giants, and Cowboys until they win a Super Bowl (or more). It's great when those three are battling for division and league supremacy. But the Eagles? They're just Ringo Starr

Could it be that maybe they just aren't that good? McNabb has been a .500 QB since 2004, and their lack of a running game despite having Brian friggin Westbrook is just despicable.

How about in the tie with Cincy, they threw the ball 58 times and Westbrook only got 14 touches? WTF??? Or how about the fact that in the 2nd half of that game they failed to convert three different 3rd and 1s on three incomplete PASSES? The playcalling stinks, the coaching is bad right now, and the fans are worse. This team is in the gutter and I love it.

I highlighted the best line I've come across in this entire thread. The Eagles are what their record says they are - a .500 team since the 2004 Super Bowl that has been living on their prior reputation. For whatever reason, the media overrates them EVERY year since then, and they flat out just aren't that good.

I hate this thread. It seems everytime we have one of these threads we loose to that team. This is one time I perfer to be wrong. When we play them they will be playing the spoiler game and its allot easier to play spoiler with nothing to loose then when everything is on the line.

[The Goat]

Don't look know but the Eagles have the same # of wins and few losses than our B & G. I actually would bet Philly has a better record by the end i.e. we will finish dead last in the east as the experts/analysts predicted. Philly is going to come into Fed-Ex in a couple of weeks looking to f us up bigtime. SanFran is playing better football than us. Maybe we get a W against Cinci but i wouldn't bet on it at this point.

Goat:

You beat me to it. I went looking for this thread to bump it up to the top and found that you had already noted the team records for the Eagles and the Redskins as of 12/7/08.


All those dumb Philly fans who want to dumb McNabb and run Andy Reid out of town on a rail are so much less sophisiticated than the Redskins' fans who:

1. want to bench Jason Campbell in order to play "whoever".

2. line-up like sheep to vote more than a dozen Redskins to the Pro Bowl - - as if more than 2 actually deserve to go.

3. routinely seek to run the GM out of town on a rail.


Fact is that neither the Skins nor the Eagles are all that good and neither will probably make the playoffs.

Well, this thread sucks now.
