Eagles: Reaping what they sew or did you feel sorry for them?

Any idea why Westbrook didn't play that much last night? I don't remember him going out hurt, but I was just listening to it in bed.

If you're feeling sorry for the Eagles right now, go curl up under a warm blanket with a cup of hot tea, cuddled up next to your little puppy, and hunker down for the winter, because I henceforth forbid you from watching football.

There is no WAY we should be feeling sorry for them. They owned us for so many years and had chance after chance after chance to win it all.

I was laughing when the score was 21-0, but seriously, can you imagine being Detmer when he came in? I'd be like, "Um, coach. I'm hurt."

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

I honestly felt sorry for their TEAM last night. It was possibly the saddest thing I've ever seen. Forget them upsetting the Giants, that effort was pitiful.

As far as their fans however, it couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch... ;)

I thought I was a better person than this. But I dont feel one bit bad. I love watching the Eagles lose...especially after hearing it through 4 years of college in Philly.

And on a personal note, I loved how empty their stadium was by midway through the THIRD quarter. I got into an argument with an Eagles fan at this years home game about just that topic. Normally I ignore annoying people while waiting in line to get into the stadium, but when he called Skins fans a bunch of fairweather fans who only come to the games when we are winning, I had to jump in. I hope that idiot was sitting there freezing his a$$ off wondering where all of his "diehard" fans had gone!

Moral of the story: Skins fans rule!

The Eagles organization had become a smug bunch of jerks over the last few years. Management felt they could handle players however they chose and reap no ill-will or public consternation. For a team with the success they had and a players coach like Reid you didn't see players taking below market value deals to play there like in NE. That should tell you how players felt about the Eagles. Now it is coming back to bite them in the ass. They have neglected to add depth at key positions. Their one major free agent aquisition was a complete disaster. They have an overrated QB, no running game to speak of, zippy WRs and the most hateful assholes for fans in general. In short, no I don't feel bad for them. I hope they never win another game. I'd love if they went 0-16 next year and lost every game 42-0. I have said it before, watching the Eagles lose ranks second to only watching the skins win.

oh,how fast the window of opportunity closes.as arrogant as the eagle fans have been the last 5 years,how could any non eagle football fan not enjoy their demise that started last night?i think its alwful fishy that as soon as the ship starts sinking,alot of the big name players start jumping.it seems like the whole team is ready to cash in this season

There's no reason to feel sorry for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Let's keep in mind how they stomped us (and danced in our end zone) several times while we were down in the past four years. Let's return the favor on New Year's Day.

AS for the fans I loved watching them leaving with their heads down as they left the stadium. For some of the players I did feel kind of sorry for them trying to win or just score some points only to have the Seahawks score again on D. Oh, but then I realized it was the Eagles and just started laughing. I only hope we can whip up on them the same way.

it is kind of strange seeing the eagles suck so much ass. but im glad because the fans deserve it since they are the biggest assholes in football. hopefully they will be down and out for a while.

I am glad the Eagles organization lost badly. I hope the Eagles organization continues to slide as it becomes clearer and clearer to players that it's all business, none of this "we are family" stuff. As FRPLG noted, nobody seems to offer the hometown discount to them and they are pretty merciless with older vets. (yes Trotter and Douglas came back, but they seem to be the exception not the rule). I hope they enjoy their wonderful cap numbers as they slip into mediocrity.

As for the fans - I hate them. Generally, I believe in sportsmanship and "sports karma", and so I don't like to wish ill upon other fans. For Philly, however, that goes out the window. These smug, loudmouthed, thugs deserve any bitter disappointments they receive. Now that they are losing, let's just see what kind of fans they really are. I hope every one of the 42 points caused them pain.

As for the athletes, for the most part they seem like class guys, and I will not wish injury or other ills upon them. I hope they lose but do not wish for the players themselves be embarrassed. It is, however, all part of the game. They play for the wrong team and I will always root against them.

Summary: dislike the smug organization, hate the fans, am ambivalent about the atheletes and, as long as the Eagles keep getting "L" 's, I am happy.
