Karma and Philly Fans

[PhillyRam]

I am rooting for the asteroid....

Philly fans are pretty bad no denying that. Though this year made me dislike Vikings fans the most. Our guest Raptorman seems like a good guy. But that collection on reddit, granted that place is full of idiots, are the worst fans I've seen from any team anywhere.

Even I don't like the fans on Reddit. There are actually a couple of Viking forum I stopped visiting because the fans sucked.

As soon as I saw on twitter that busloads of Vikings fans showed up to have a pep rally on the art museum steps in philly (aka the Rocky steps) and then desecrated the Rocky statue by dressing it up in Vikings garb, I knew Vikings fans were going to catch hell for it at the game later. Few things are considered more sacred to Philly sports fans than those steps and the Rocky statue. Hell, last I heard, they still play Rocky music before each game. That little stunt was pretty much a big middle finger to Eagles fans just hours before the game. Not smart.

Every team has their deplorable's though. If you go by the number of arrests at the games, NFL fans in Cali are apparently the worst, with several others before you get to the Eagles at around #10 on the list.

If Rocky was a football player it would be one thing, but he's a fictional character from a movie. It's the equivalent of Eagles fans dressing up a statue of Paul Bunyan in Minnesota.

But then The Linc was the only new stadium built with 4 jail cells. (Since removed.)

Well, that's certainly one way of making sure your team keeps a home field advantage.

Most Seahawks fans don't even know what football is.

Haven’t posted here in awhile. Long time diehard Eagles fan. Was here in the weeks leading up to Rams vs Eagles. For those who don’t remember I made it clear that I was glad the team is back in LA and that they turned things around. I also said that Goff looks like he’s going to be a top QB for them.
Most here were pretty cool. A few were not with the usual “Philly fans are the worst” routine.
I did not post after the game at all. I also haven’t changed my view on the team and they they’ll be a rival for some time to come.
I’ll say it again, there are imbeciles in every fan base. There are indeed some morons in ours. That said, the vast majority of Eagles fans are good people who really love this team. Maybe the most loyal fans in the NFL. They’ve been packing their stadiums for 50+ years win or lose.
I do not condone the despicable behavior of these idiots. I also know that the image has become exaggerated to extremes. These things happen all over. There have been murders at stadiums and as far as I know not at ours.
I have rooted for this team since the late 60’s. I never miss a game. Good or bad and mostly bad. To say I don’t deserve to see my team win a Super Bowl because of a small group of idiots is ridiculous. And yes it IS a small %.

My direct ancestors settled Pennsyvania in the 1600's, coming over on the

Kalmar Nyckel. My great grandfather, Peter Gunnarson Rambo, was known as the father of New Sweden, PA. That said, screw both of these teams, but I'll give PA the nod, because my hate for New England is real. Peter also brought the Rambo apple into America, which interestingly enough the Rambo character was named after. For years people joked and asked if I was related to Rambo...I never knew I was. Gramps was friends with William Penn, and witnessed the signing of the document to buy PA.

I have definitely found that to be true in Tampa. Friendly fans who are willing to mix it up without it being obnoxious. They REALLY respect kids and even wearing Rams gear, I never for a second worried about my safety or that someone would pour beer all over me.

Not surprised about the Chargers. People think it's all Raider fans who are the problem, but San Diego fans (and now LA Charger fans) are insane and violent. Some Padre games are a mess as well.

I can't believe the Eagles aren't higher.

Giants/Jets def don't surprise me. There was a Real Sports special on Tailgating and the biggest complaints were the smell of vomit, open urination, broken glass and violent fans...ENTERING the stadium.

I mean... have some pride, people. Whatever happened to taking pride in being a good host?

As someone who lived in San Diego and attended plenty of Padre games.
They suffer from a well deserved inferiority complex.
Largely, losers supporting a loser organization in a way that losers would.

Not if Wentz continues to get hurt. Will say he's better than Goff right now prior to the injury but I question whether he's sustainably good or not considering he exposes himself to hard hits

It doesn't sound like Coach needy teams are looking at Shwartz. I think he is one of the best DC in he game and if the Eagles hang onto him with their defensive personnel they are set on D. I am impressed with Pederson and his staff, getting that kind of game from Foles against a tough Minnesota D in a playoff game. He has a good roster, especially his OLine.

Wentz seems to be a more mature and confident leader than Goff at the moment but he is two years older and has a full season more of playing time in the same system. However, one thing that I don't like about Wentz is he isn't very accurate on the deep ball.....and he needs to stop acting like a running back. Maybe if Pederson can get him to stand in the pocket longer and focus on footwork he can clean up the accuracy on the long ball. After seeing all the time Foles had and the targets he was finding it makes me wonder why Wentz ran as much as he did. Maybe he is too quick to run. That can be a hard habit to break.

Overall, watching the Eagles, Minnesota, and Patriots Olines in the playoffs makes me think the Rams line is good but needs to improve to match these teams. I don't know if that means an upgrade in personnel or that they just need more time together under Kromer.

I almost posted it here, but since there's a ton of swearing and violent words I didn't want to get myself in trouble, but if you've never seen comic Bill Burr completely lambaste a Philadelphia crowd, then check it out on youtube. First time watching it the other day (I know, I'm late to the game) but it's pretty funny.

 

[The Ramowl]

It's like my two least favorite teams getting together and no matter who wins, I lose.

Are you absolutely sure about that though ?

 

[RamsSince1969]

That was brutal, all those hawk fans at the last home game.

If the Eagles do win, I will smile for you. I get it, what you're saying. I do.

 

[Selassie I]

If it wasn't for Miami's... Philly's stupid ass (I really wanted to use a homophobic slur instead of stupid ass) "song" would be the worst of all time. That's really the only beef I have with them.

Hopefully those miserable bastards can finally win one. I root for everyone (except the whiners) who is playing against the cheaters.

 

[Soul Surfer]

You know damn well if Philly wins the Super Bowl, some fool is going to go try and ring the Liberty Bell.

LET LIBERTY RING !!!!

 

[So Ram]

Hold one damn minute Dave! Lol I didn’t say anything about rooting for the Cheats! I just said I’d prefer they win. Lol All sports media going to be licking their butts anyways.

Who give a F about the fans ??? That’s a crock of shit. Even if you hate them they came to LA in full force. I’m sure there are Ram fans that benefited from there passion from ticket sales.

Nick Foles deserves it more than Tom Brady. Just the way the Pats have cheated over the years.

Chris Long has a chance of winning his 2nd Super Bowl since leaving The Rams.

Rodney McLeod was a slid Ram along with Donnie Jones who at one point deserved to be a Pro Bowl punter.

When Snead came in letting Brown & Jones go & drafted Greg the Leg and diving J.Hekker as a udfa was huge cap relief to building for The Rams future.

Jake is the main stay between them all & playing in his 2nd straight pro bowl.

I don’t watch football because of the fans.I hated the fair weather Ram fans over the years , never stopped being a Rams fan when they moved to St. Louis.
I feel for that Rams fan base.I respect the St. Louis fab base that still supports the Rams.

I don’t know what or where that came from but okay?

I don’t understand any love for the Pats players or organization. Philly even with crap fans there are a few exTams to cheer for.

I don't know where the delusion of Pats love you speak of is since there is none but I'd rather the POS Eagle fans not have anything to brag over. Plain and simple.

Well if you don’t want the Eagles to win then what is the alternative ?
With all the exRams on the Eagles , why not cheer for them ?

Philly fans have always been jerks. I thinks Pats fan did some weird thing to the Eagles years past with setting off an alarm ? I’m sure I’m wrong , might have even been Celtic fans.
