The lesser of two evils...

Doomster : 1/22/2018 8:55 am
What say you BBI?

Do you want the Eagles to stop the Pats from winning a 6th?

Or will you cheer for BB/Tom Brady to stop the Eagles?

Or do you wake up this morning, thinking this was a terrible dream, that the Pats would be playing the Eagles in the SB?
Any giants fan..

Amen. There isn’t even a question about this.
I'd rather the Eagles win than read these types of threads

I concur with this assessment, as much as I dislike the Patriots I'd rather see the Eagles display case empty
There's only one evil.

The Eagles. This thread is bad.
Go Patriots  
PhilD : 1/22/2018 9:04 am : link
I enjoy watching a team that never quits. Plays to the last second. Does not make mistakes. Plays hard.

I rout for anyone that plays the eagles.
Why wouldn’t

Giants fans root for the coach who is a legend in NY and won two Super Bowls like they did Coughlin?
what is the big issue with the Pats  
LG in NYC : 1/22/2018 9:15 am : link
as a Giants fan??

I get being sick of them winning, but beyond that - they are in a different conference, have the beloved BB as their HC and quite frankly, it easy to respect their greatness.

oh yeah, and we beat them 2x in the SB.... so there's that too.

this is easy. Philly must lose.
It's a bannable offense  
Frank in Silver Spring : 1/22/2018 9:15 am : link
For anyone to even contemplate rooting for the Green Slime. I mean, how can anyone on this Web site even consider it?
GO PATS  
mikeinbloomfield : 1/22/2018 9:16 am : link
Keep the Eagles championship drought going. This should be a no-brainer.
Patriots and it isn't close  
Jay on the Island : 1/22/2018 9:20 am : link
I have always had a huge respect for Belichick and I have really only rooted against them in the SB when they were playing the Giants. Fuck Philadelphia and all their fans. They don't deserve a SB trophy.
Why is this a question..  
Sean : 1/22/2018 9:24 am : link
fucking embarrassing.
I don't get the Pats hate from Giants Fans  
chuckydee9 : 1/22/2018 9:27 am : link
If there are any fans who shouldn't have hate for the Pats, it should be us..

Anyhow I'd understand if someone rooted for the Saints or Vikings against the Pats.. but the Eagles? no way..
how is this even a question?  
GiantNatty : 1/22/2018 9:30 am : link
One franchise couldn't stop us from getting two rings, whereas the other has been the source of MANY of our most painful losses.

I don't care if Brady and the Patriots win 100 Super Bowls as long as the Eagles never win one.

Patriots all day long.
Every Superbowl the Patriots continue to win....  
Britt in VA : 1/22/2018 9:31 am : link
make our two wins all the more impressive.

Go Pats.
What?  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/22/2018 9:31 am : link
How can any true Giants fan root for the Eagles? Seriously.
Not for anything  
gidiefor : Mod : 1/22/2018 9:32 am : link
but Chris in Philly is never wrong!
Pats and it's simple...  
deeptoleft : 1/22/2018 9:34 am : link
No chance I could ever bring myself to root for the Eagles. I'd root for North Korea if they were playing the Eagles. A second reason is that it keeps the Giants as the only team to have beaten Brady, Belichick and those immortal Pats teams - Twice! And that really bothers Pats fans.

Go Pats!
I like the Eagles  
WideRight : 1/22/2018 9:37 am : link
I like them because they are good Divisional competition who has never won anything.

I would like it to stay that way....

I'd be glad to see the Patriots drop a Super Bowl  
Greg from LI : 1/22/2018 9:44 am : link

It's fucking crazy. There is no rational thought to rooting for Philly to win if you're a Giants fan..NONE
I live in the Philly area..

1000% Pats  
Breeze_94 : 1/22/2018 10:20 am : link
I could never root for the Eagles to win a Super Bowl. Just like I could never root for Dallas.

I would rather see the Pats get #6 than for the Eagles to be able to say they won a Super Bowl.

Let’s keep those empty trophy case jokes alive.

Picture this scene

Date: Thursday September 6, 2018

Location: Lincoln Financial Field

NFL opener and the Eagles are raising the Super Bowl Champions banner. The league puts them against the Giants (because NBC wants to save their good matchups for later), and anyone going to that game or watching on TV is going to be forced to witness all of that nonsense.

I prefer for us not to be a part of that in any way.
Partiots  
I Love Clams Casino : 1/22/2018 10:25 am : link
....and I hope the Patriots get caught blatantly cheating and it changes absolutely nothing about the game, after a big investigation takes us well into the 2018 season......


and when I say blatantly, I mean "no doubt about it", the Patriots cheated to win the Superbowl against the Eagles....
I'd rather see NKorea win gold in every event

at the Olympics than see an Eagles SB. I am beyond sick of the Pats but this is a no brainer.
Rootin' hard for the...  
M.S. : 1/22/2018 10:37 am : link
...Pats!

No question about it!!!
Dumbest question of the year  
Torrag : 1/22/2018 10:49 am : link
We own the Pats. I don't care how many they win. Anytime one of these idiots chirps at me it's a reflex response....SCOREBOARD DICKHEAD.

Have despised the Eagles since birth. I believe it is genetically encoded in all true Giants fans. DESPISE.
Tough one  
Bramton1 : 1/22/2018 11:11 am : link
Root for the team that can't beat us in the Super Bowl, root for the team that has ripped out spines from our bodies on multiple occasions. Hmm... tough one.

By the way, I'm very conflicted. I have the choice of two meals for dinner tonight? Lobster or raman noodles? Which should I choose? Tough one...
I know a Giants fan who is rooting for the Eagles  
Bramton1 : 1/22/2018 11:12 am : link
because his wife is an Eagles fan.

How the hell could you marry an Eagles' fan? That would be a disqualifier for me.
Who cares about the Pats? They don’t affect the Giants

and def not the cheatin pats
I'll root for Belichick and the Pats.  
Victor in CT : 1/22/2018 11:41 am : link
I hate the Eagles. And the Flyers.
I think the Pats “hate” is misunderstood by a lot of people  
mfsd : 1/22/2018 11:42 am : link
Speaking for myself, I don’t hate them...I’m a football fan, and admire the way they’ve built and sustained a Super Bowl contender every year.

The hate is caused by their fans...I know several who are lifelong Pats fans, and still have a Grogan or Hannah jersey in their closets, and I consider them good loyal fans.

But they’ve picked up a ton of insufferable bandwagon fans, obviously. How many chicks love the Pats bc they think Brady is so hot?

It’s the same with the Yankees of the late 90s...I can understand why Mets and Red Sox fans hate the Yankees, but the Yankees picked up a million bandwagon fans during their run. Plenty of chicks in Jeter jerseys who had no idea who Bobby Meacham or Andre Robertson or Andy Stankiewicz were.

Point being, aggravating bandwagon fans cause a lot of the hate.

Generally, I’ll root against the Pats bc I’ll usually root for an underdog like the Jags yesterday.

But the notion of rooting for the Eagles over the Pats in the Super Bowl is unconscionable. I question whether anyone doing so is a real Giants fan.

I hope the score is so lopsided that the only reasonable action is to contract the Eagles from the league afterwards.
No problem with this at all - go Pats!

Matt M. : 1/22/2018 12:28 pm : link
I am rooting for the Pats. Period. I love Belichick and there is no way I want the Eagles to win.

I may be in the minority here, but I don't despise the Patriots. Maybe it's Belichick's Giants ties, but I don't hate him. I don't root for them during the year, but in a game like this, I don't mind seeing him win.

me too. agree all the way.
As I've said.....  
Tom [Giants fan] : 1/22/2018 1:50 pm : link
the only positive that I can find from the Eagles winning is that the NFC East becomes the first division where every team has at least one Lombardi. But I am willing to sacrifice that to keep things status quo. No way I want the Eagles to win. I will be rooting as hard for the Patriots as I do for the Giants in any game.
