To all NFL fans! why does everyone dislike the Eagles? football?

Question

Im a huge fan but the only people that should hate the Eagles are Cowboys, Redskins, and Giants fans... and don't give me an answer like "Becuase they suck" or like "mcnabb gets hurt too much" becuase if they suck blame the coach if Mcnabb gets hurt that's on him, don't hate the whole team... I think they will go 10-6 this year which is wild card worthy... and the Eagles have the best secondary (Dawkins, Samuel, Sheppard, and Brown) and their offense isn't as high powered as the Colts or Patriots but it isn't bad they just need to have receivers that consistently catch the ball... its not Mcnabbs fault when he throws 3 incomlete passes when they were all drops...

Answer 1

Why do you care? Let people think what they want. People are going to say things about other teams and their players. Don't worry about it. Just root for your team and let it be.

Answer 2

How do I hate the Eagles...let me count the ways.

1. Michael Irvin

2. Buddy Ryan's bounty

3. Duhnovan McNabb's constant race-baiting. He constantly blames HIS failures on people being unfair to him because he's black.

4. The free pass the coach gets from the press on his family's drug problems. If he coached the Cowboys the headhunt would be on.

5. Santa Claus

My hatred runs so deep I was forced to pull for the Patriots in 2005. That REALLY ticked me off.

Need anymore reasons?

Answer 3

I like Mcnabb and their defense.

defense is the beauty of the NFL.

Answer 4

If people do hate the Eagles, it is probably because of their fans. Let's face it, Eagles fans are the most obnoxious in the league. These are people who threw snowballs at Santa Clause, for crying out loud! In the NFL, a franchise is often judged by the fans, since the two usually go hand-in-hand.  

Answer 5

Im an eagles fan aswell, and I know exactly what you mean. I have Bronco fans, Colts fans, and even Raven fans coming up and flacking me for wearing an Eagles jersey. I have no clue why people hate Philadelphia so badly. Mabey it's because they know we are going to rise this year and spank em' all :]

Answer 6

I dislike the Eagles because I live in PA and I am a Steelers fan. All PA media, etc. is centered around the Eagles. It gets hideously annoying. I have never been a fan of decisions their coaching staff has made over the years, and I got tired of hearing about Andy Reid's drug addicted children being in and out of police custody.

McNabb is probably one of the most overrated qb's to ever play the game (I know that always sparks debates) and I get so sick of everyone in PA falling all over him because he plays for the Eagles.

I guess for me it is a case of having something you're totally not interested in being shoved in your face constantly until you can't stand it anymore.

Answer 7

I don t hate the Eagles, but I do get tired of hearing how great Mcnabb is as long as he doesen t get hurt, h**l he is always hurt. I do love the Eagle fans, there is none crazier in the NFL, BAR NONE.

Answer 8

Here is part of your answer:

Of course, Michael Irvin rose above the abuse and said he could understand why "Philly Fan" would cheer when he was motionless on the turf.....he said something to the effect that (they're thinking) "...this brother has been KILLING us for the last 10 years so we're glad he's now out of the game..."

Answer 9

Because they SUCK!!!!!  Go REDSKINS!!!!

Answer 10

I wasn't aware that everyone hated the Eagles. I enjoy watching Brian Westbrook and I'm a Browns fan. The Eagles will probably make the playoffs this year.  

Answer 11

The problem with the Eagles is their management.  Sorry to tell you this but they are in it for the money.  Some owners will do anything to win, some do anything for a profit. Eagles = Profit  They do a good job af putting a decent team on the field.  My team the Saints were a For Profit team for years. Why should they put a winner on the field when the stands are full. We finally smartened up and stopped filling the stands and the team has begun to show signs of life. Imagine that?

Answer 12

I don't hate the Eagles.  They're just blahh to me.  They seem to get the job done but when you watch an Eagle's game you wonder how.  There's no fireworks.  When you watch them you know they're good but they just never seem impressive.

Answer 13

I don't hate the Eagles, though SOME of their fans can be quite obnoxious.  

Answer 14

i didn't know everyone hated the eagles...

Answer 15

im a cowboys fan so yes.. i think a lot of people hate the eagles cause their fans are D1cks !
