Was this the most “likable” Eagles team?

.

last week, yes.

" 'likable' Eagles team."

Each individual word means something, but together, they make no sense.

Funny, but at least they are not that team from Dallas.

I just didn’t despise them like teams in the past. And with our abortion of a season it made it easier to stomach. It’s not like they knocked us out in the process of winning it all.

Don’t get me wrong, unlike Stan I was absolutely rooting for the Patriots. And never wanted the Eagles to win it all. But they did and my reaction was “eh, ok guess they had to eventually I’m over it”. Had it been some of their teams in the past I’d be angry and bitter for a while.

Oh and we beat much better Patriots teams

Can go fuck itself.

many friends and acquaintances are Eagles fans. I am happy for these friends since the Giants were not in their path. The Buddy Ryan teams would have been unbearable if them had won.

or 1-15???? if so I pick that one.

the one that doesn't win the Super Bowl. What the fuck?

Yes.

It is not that I like them .... it is more like I don't mind them as much as previous teams.

Be a ban-able offense.


J/K. The answer is, there is no such thing.

and awful personalities. I never want the team to win but it was bound to happen and I didn’t find myself hating them as much as their 90s and 2000s rosters.

is one that performs the "blood eagle" on it's shitty fans.

is wrong with all of you

A 'likable' Eagles team? Again, WTF?

For some reason I've never really been too into the bragging rights or schadenfreude aspects of being a sports fan, unless I'm surrounded by obnoxious, arrogant fans of that particular team. I actually think they've handled this whole bullshit of the last week pretty well.

and their fans. What made this year less horrifying was the Giants season was over before Columbus Day and I seriously stopped caring about the NFL in general and just tortured myself watching the Giants season to see where they would draft.

If the Giants were competitive this year, I would be a hell of a lot more pissed about the Eagles winning it all.

Same, last time I bragged about sports I was in college. It really isn’t that fun to “talk shit”.

I would much rather Nick Foles be a champ than this guy.

I'd like them a LOT more if that guy on the Falcons had held onto that interception.

Did you root for them to win the Super Bowl too? Some of you got your wish and I hope you realize its a pit of misery. The stadium will be crawling with those idiots bragging forever about winning. Now you want to call them tolerable??


Fuck Them!!!!

Bingo, I don’t understand why this was such a hard concept to grasp for some.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. Watching McNabb (a guy that tortured the Giants many times) win would have made me sick!!! Oh Nick Foles won? Yawn

To rescuing dogs and other charitable causes. He’s an Eagle but impossible not to like him as a person

possibly my most hated team, but they do have some guys that are likable. I like Wentz and Foles actually.

.

In the past I would have not gotten over an Eagles winning the superbowl. I have two Eagles friends that are surprisingly not asses and I was able to be happy for them the same way there were nfl east fans that were happy for the giants when they won against the Patriots.

I do live in Massachusetts so a Patriots loss was not the worst thing.

I will say if I had to put it in an order of being ok with another NFC EAST team winning it would be Eagles, Redskins, Cowboys. With redskins and Dallas virtually tied because I cannot stand Jones and Synder. I actually like Laurie and the way the eagles are run. In the past I would have said I hated all three equally. I may not like the Eagles but I respected what they did as a team.

The way I have rationalized any team winning that I don't want to is by thinking there is probably some sick person in a hospital watching who had their life made better by their team winning.

but you know, I kinda like Wentz...

I "like" the eagles teams that lose

will ever be likable to me. Low class assholes, for my 50 years, as a Giant fan at our house or thiers.

No dirty players respect their humility and creativity.

Really?

The whole Donald Trump thing makes me like them as NFL Players and human beings, but I still can't stand the Eagles and hope they do terribly. They're the EAGLES and thanks to the Large Hadron Collider we're in this messed up Berenstain Bears timeline where Donald Trump is president, Geno Smith started a game for the Giants, and the Eagles have a Lombardi Trophy.

the Eagles, but glad it was this team and not the ones with McNabb, Cunningham, or Jaworski to get the Lombardi. All of those teams seemed dirty or unethical. That being said, Jim Schwartz having a SB ring kind of makes me nauseous.

should be traded to North Korea for a dung heap ... win win

What is that? I hope they and their idiot fans never have another win for all time. Eat more horse shit morons.

... this was a pretty good year for it. No Ryan, no Kelly, no Shady, no notorious cheap-shot artists. Really not much to hate about the 2017 Eagles except maybe their fans and their laundry.

The timing does kind of make this look like a back-door political thread.

or form. Foles was a terrific story. That’s all

Jerry Foley, the guy from Giants Insider.

by the Eagles having won a Super Bowl.

GO COWBOYS!!

up.
