Normally when a team loses in the NFC championship game they don't make it make back. The 49ers is the only team in the NFC since 2009 to make it right back to the NFC Championship game after losing the previous season. The Eagles made it to the NFC championship 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and some fans still felt the need to complain.

The 49ers won 5 Super Bowls, the Eagles haven't won any. Give me a Super Bowl. You sound like a Lions or Browns fan.

Did you forget only one team can win a SB? It's very hard to win a SB so the main goal is to just get to the playoffs and see what happens.

No, the main goal is to build a dominant team.

My point is some teams never get to the playoffs so the fact that the eagles always have a shot you should be grateful

No thanks. Yeah, they've given us some fun seasons with good teams, some very good, but I'll be grateful when they get the job done ... I've only been rooting for them since 1977. And, they don't "always have a shot."


Although, I do think we have our men in Doug Pederson, Frank Reich, Jim Schwartz and Carson Wentz.

Let's just see what Wentz, Doug, Frank and Jim does in November and December


Remember Wentz didn't look all that good in the one road game during the first half vs the bears.

Yeah, gotcha ... I don't think anybody is expecting them to win the Super Bowl this year.

I was watching a video the other day and the person being interviewed said something along the lines of a young kid at Philadelphia game might know 5 words and 2 of them are Dallas sucks.

I was at a game at the Vet in the 700 level before they tore it down and that was less than tame. They were playing the Bucs and this is when the Bucs were competitive, think they met the Eagles in a few playoffs during that time period. A Bucs fan made the unfortunate choice of going into a port a potty and I swear they going to tip it over with him in it. There was a guy with a Giants jersey and for almost the entire game hundreds if not a thousand people were yelling ******* and pointing at him.

I was at the Pittsburgh game on Sunday with a Pittsburgh fan and it was much friendlier atmosphere. Lot of funny comments, nothing really rude. He was even laughing at them. The best one actually happened at the the Liberty Bell. He was having a conversation with the security guard unrelated to football and my friend says "I want to shake your hand". As he sticks his hand out in all seriousness the guard says "No"..... "How about fist bump?" my friend says.... "No" At this point I'm thinking that is pretty rude but then he breaks into a smile and and says "Not with that towel in your pocket." Then he shook. As we were going through the metal detectors he got the same treatment from the screeners, they told him he couldn't bring the towel into the building and he'd have to throw it into the garbage.

Keep in mind it's PA team and Pittsburgh lost. I'm not so sure I'd want to go there as Dallas or Giants fan especially in the upper levels.

One other thing, if you are a football player and doing well you don't want to be in any other stadium playing for any other team as far as the fans go. That stadium was half empty near the end and it was still loud.

Was this the game where Warren Sapp walked around during the pregame staring up into the stands and made wild gestures and as if on cue about a thousand people roared with outrage. The remainder of the game he was chided by various groups of fans yelling "Waaaaren.. Waaaaaren". Fans would go through the exit doors into the restrooms and **** in the sink because the lines were too long...and there was always a sideshow of someone getting extricated from their seat by the Police after violating the "Don't be a jerk" policy...those were the days.....
