Dallas Cowboys At Philly 1981

[Alexander]

I remember how annoyed I was when they started leaving graphics on the screen during game play. Seems like the stone ages now!

Yeah, back then "what's the score?" wasn't a stupid question.

 

[EaglesFan1]

Actually I did. I'm an idiot. I forgot they weren't in Arizona then.

Yes the were. They were the Phoenix Cardinal. You must be young. They were in our division not that long ago. Well 2001 was the last year they were in the NFC East

Whatever happened to the barefoot kicker phenomenon?

Tony Franklin. Had a pretty good career.

 

[lwehlers]

back then you had to pay attention to the game more to know what the down and distance was.

No, he is correct. They were the St. Louis Cardinals until 1987.

The vet had to be one of the worst places to play a football game, the place was a toilet....

It was perfect for that ****-hole city and its fans

Only trouble was that the seams in the turf didn’t discriminate between the Eagles and players from other teams when causing torn knee ligaments.

It's a great city with a great history, great neighborhoods and an incredible food scene. Has a ton of diversity, great night life museums and culture. That sure beats a city with no history, no culture, prefab houses and 10,000 strip malls. You're misinformed.

Yes, I thought he was saying he didn't know St. Louis/Phoenix/Arizona was in the NFC East.

To be fair it is a great city. Are you prepared to concede, however, that the Eagles have the most despicable fan base in football, if not all of sports? I’m prepared to exempt you, since you seem a reasonable guy, but there are numerous examples of Eagles fans behaving in ways that you don’t see anywhere else.

Pat Summerall was already old.

He was a legendary announcer.

Ten times better than the clowns they have today.

Absolutely. I gave up my season tickets in the 90's cause the old Vet just crossed the line
The Linc is much milder. I do think one of the reasons Philly has no rings is because of Karma. I have so many stories of just insanity from back then.

I appreciate the honesty. It gains you instant credibility.

I remember we were playing the old Browns back in the 90's. A big yellow school bus pulls into the tailgating area filled with Browns fans yelling "Go Browns". About 1000 people surround the bus and start rocking it to the point I thought it was going to tip over. One Eagle fan jumps up on the hood, then roof and removed the big Browns flag and lit it on fire and ran around the parking lot with a burning flag. Just insanity.

Who knew Browns fans travel. You’d think seeing them live 8 times a year would be punishment enough.

Amazing how an Eagles fan can gain cred on a Cowboys board.

Do you suppose I’m being too generous?

I don't think opposing team's fans have any place on a message board, but that is just me.

 

[EaglesFan1]

Why not? Don't you like different views, opposing takes. I never thought the Eagles boards were for Eagles fans only. It's to talk about the Eagles. Maybe we're different

Different views, opposing takes. From an Eagles fan?

If I wanted that, I would just go rouse some drunk degenerates on skid row.

Opposing teams fans go to other team's boards for one reason. To troll, not to get "different views" and "opposing takes".

Go eat a cheesesteak and bow and scrape to a fake boxing champion's statue.

And yes, I am being rude.

No more rude than your fan base was when Michael Irvin was laying on the field.

Get lost.
