Eagle fans calling into Philly radio

They beat who has been on the schedule.

I never get that argument. Like the team gets to choose who they play. Height of foolishness.

my god they are some dumb people.

"who have they beat?!"

completely ignoring that they beat jacksonville, washington, giants, colts (equal to seattle win for us), and rams.

guessing here, the point of most Eagles fans is not that the Eagles have had a tougher road, just that they are sick of the media slobbering all over the Cowboys when both teams have similar accomplishments thus far.

Iggles were trashing me today. "You guys haven't beat anyone lololz!" I pointed out that they beat those Powerhouse Rams, Skins and Jags and they didn't take to it. "We beat the Colts, who are way better than any team you've beat lololoz!"

Sure, let's ignore that Seattle destroyed Denver and Green Bay this season.

And who exactly has Philly beaten? The Colts? LOL

Seattle is .500 and will struggle to make the playoffs. Colts are looking more and more like an AFC Superbowl representative.

The Eagles have the most contemptible fan base in all of sports. I don't think it's close, really. Makes it hard for me to give a damn what they think.

Hear that a lot. Know what is also contemptible? Generalizing an entire fan base. you might want to come on down out of your glass house.

I'll worry about the Eagles when we get there. I still don't like Foles as an elite QB and think Chip Kelly's offense is feast or famine but I do think with no pressure, they can pick our D apart. The advantage we have is keeping them off the field.

Yea it will be interesting. I hope both teams are completely healthy and still fighting for HFA come Thanksgiving...will make for a great Turkey game.

I feel your pain OP, I live near the Philly area and I'm always listening to their talk radio. Their fans are just completely dumb and ignorant as hell. I've been hearing the same thing all day, how we haven't beaten anyone and completing the ignoring the fact they haven't beaten anyone either (sorry, but the refs gave them that Colts game). I can't wait until Thanksgiving and we beat them ... that following day will be complete bliss for me.

Your first mistake is listening to talk radio. Get Sirius, NFL Radio is sooo much better than any local talk trash.
 
Those FILTHY fans are so stupid it aint even funny. We beat SEATTLE! Need I say anything else?

The sorts of conduct that cause me to draw such a conclusion are well-documented incidents of mob misbehaviour that make it difficult to narrow the conclusion down to individual Eagles fans.

(Consider, btw, whether it's even possible to speak of a "fan base" except by way of generalizations.)

In any event, precisely because my generalization can't be narrowed down to particular individuals (which is, I think, just another way of putting your point) you needn't take personal offense.

If you're purporting instead to take offense on behalf of the Eagles fan base as a whole, I'd be interested in your defense of its collective honor.

The entire north east has passionate fans, with many viewing sporting events as a place to let off steam - often times this results in unfortunate events - i.e. Cop shooting college girl in eye and killing her during riot outside Fenway... I also see drunken fights in the stands at almost every RedSox/Yankee game I go to. but of course riots/fights in Boston get swept under the rug....and I am from Boston. Philly incidents get trumpeted - even some of the legendary ones are rooted in spin. For instance, the infamous booing Santa incident was entirely misrepresented. Eagles were terrible that year, which lead to short tempers...but even then Santa wasnt booed for being Santa, he was booed for being intoxicated....and the legend grew from that. Now we are to the point where a small number of fans seem to revel in the bad boy image - and it makes the rest of us look bad.

I dont condone any violence of any kind, but I just find it amusing that some are so judgemental.
Never been to the Vet, only been to the Linc a handful of times, and I have never witnessed anything that I would even remotely describe as rude....but generally I am in the more expensive seats. Maybe it is worse up in the cheaper areas.

Yes. It was an extra special hate Dallas day today on Philly sports radio.

Your team is looking good. But you look small. You want to play fast? That will only last so long. Physical play will be what wins this game.

I dont think Eagles are small at all? very big at CB, WR, average size everywhere else. OL isnt huge, but when healthy is right up there with Dallas in terms of ability.

Did you see the Wash/Philly game? That was about as physical a game as I can remember seeing.

It's not like the Colts have beat a bunch of great teams either. Their wins are against Baltimore (5-2), Cincy (3-2), Houston (3-3), Tennessee (2-5), Jacksonville (1-6). The only good team they have beaten is Baltimore. Cincy and Houston, are ok, nothing to write home about.
