Phoenix-Talon said:You are thinking correctly. It's not easy to root for a team that beat you. I Believe it takes a special type of fan to step up and support a rival within your own division when your primary team cannot represent you in the playoffs.
Hence, "good sportsmanship" lives!
I could care less about the giants, they are nothing more than a media love-fest with a pouty faced QB that got to choose which team he wanted to go to just like TO.JuliusCaesar said:The difference between me and you is you have a primary team, I have a favorite team I have no secondary teams, nothing. The division pride means nothing to me if the Cowboys aren't representing the division. I absolutely hope that the Skins and Giants get blown out in the first round of the playoffs and embarassed. I hope Eli throws 5 picks and they get shut out. At this point my hatred for the Giants has surpassed my hatred for either the Eagles or the Commanders. I would NEVER root for any division rival to win unless it had a positive impact on the Dallas Cowboys playoff chances etc. thats it.
Phoenix-Talon said:First, congratulations to the Commanders fans (e.g., SaT), and condolences to th Cowboys. We had those Commanders sweating for a little while. This Eagles fan realizes that neither team hates us any more or less than before, but to me, it didn't look like the Eagles "rolled-over" for the Skins.
It's tough playing half of the regular season without playmakers or even your 1st team! It will be interesting in 2006 when a healthy Eagles team steps onto the filed (e.g., D-Nabb, Westbrook, Pinkston, Buckhaulter/Parry, Fraley, and Sheppard) and the rest of our first string players return.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm also an NFCE fan! I'd like to see either the G-men or the Skins take it all! I realize that scenario may not unflold, but it won't be because of my not wishing that it will happen.
Good Hunting in 2006!

I will be surprised if either of those teams make it very far.
