And they got in that position because they were a lousy team that got good draft picks and made good trades. Making the playoffs every year puts you in a position where you can't improve and the Eagles showed that. I just don't see how you can be happy with the best winning percentage and no championship. I don't usually root for my teams to come in 2nd place.

I am comparing winning a championship to not winning a championship!! What I am saying is I would rather have a team make it to the playoffs every year and come up short then have a team the the last time they won the whole this was 1986 and the last time they made the playoffs was 10yrs ago!! I went though that with the Phillies and is sucked!! I was 1 month old when they won the WS back in 1980 and since then have only been in the playoffs 5 times!! 5 times out of 28 years!! So for 23 yrs they were as you put it in rebuilding years and that is fine with you!! Well that wasnt fine with me!! I am not like you were instead of not rooting for teams that come in 2nd, you root for teams to come in 16th or worse because they won a championship 5 years ago or a WS 23 yrs ago!!
