I have found myself rooting against the Eagles. Mostly because obviously we always root against the front runners right? But also because of our relationship with them.
Seems like Eagles fans are chirping the loudest I've ever seen a fan base do.
And of course, our boy Goff is inevitably being compared to an MVP candidate in Wentz.

Anyway... seems futile, they look like the class of the NFL, talented in every area. And I can't be too mad because a lot of people in that organization seem like really great dudes - Wentz included.

Here's hoping we meet in the playoffs and bounce their ass out.

Nah, my dislike of DAL far outweighs anything near that toward PHI.

I actually like PHI... used to go to a lot of games at the old Veterans Stadium. Of course, when they play the Rams, they are persona non grata!!

When the Rams lose, I always hope DAL loses (preferably big) so I can listen to the local media trash them for two days... takes the edge off any Rams loss.

Really enjoyed my drive into work this morning!
:LOL:

They'll go to the Super Bowl likely. Case Keenum going into Philly and winning in January is beyond laughable right now. Philly is a great team and they've caught all the breaks schedule wise as the rest of their division is a tire fire and their schedule has been quite soft overall.

Saints look great as well. I could definitely see NO-Philly NFCC

I do anyways since I live in the Philly area and you'd think they have the SB locked up! Gotta love the Philly fans, not!

One thing I noticed is our 3rd place schedule backfired as the saints and Vikings are now division leaders. Eagles play 4th place teams in Niners and bears who still suck.

Rams fans were doing plenty of "chirping" too before yesterday. And they'd be chirping just as loud (if not louder) than Eagles fans if the Rams had won yesterday. Can't hate a team because their fans are enjoying a good season. And other than jealousy, there's literally zero reason to hate on a guy like Wentz.

I hate the Eagles and their fans so its impossible to root for them.
When they play the Cowboys I want them both to lose and just laugh harder at who lost

Really? Zero reason to root against the NFC frontrunner? You can't think of a single one? :thinking:

Did you start watching sports yesterday? ;)

Eagles fans have been insufferable for years. Could you imagine them if they win a Superbowl?

I don't like Philly or their teams so it's easy to root against them. Add to it they're the competition for the playoffs and I absolutely root against them.

I have no problem with Philly or Minnesota or NO. I think their players and coaches handle themselves with class and not arrogance. Atlanta too. Fans are fans, don't really care what they say or do.

Hell this season reminds me of 2003, 2004 when these same 4 NFL teams were flying around the field, and tthose were some damn good times to watch football.

I root against the Eagles only when they play AFC teams. When playing NFC (other than Rams, obviously) I root FOR them since they are so far in front and we need them to bring other NFC teams back to the pack.

We need to get into playoffs. First round bye would have been great, but looking like a fantasy after the VIkes game. So I am a reluctant Eagles fan these days...

Keenum is throwing the ball pretty well and MN is nothing to sneeze at. IMO either the Saints, Vikings and Eagles are going to the SB. I don't think anyone else has a chance.
