And last week's game is history so you really need to learn how to decide which side of an argument you're going to take. You say the past is history, but you keep latching onto it. Heck, the Eagles haven't even reached Buffalo Bills status yet so you need to let all your past "winning" seasons go and hope your team figures out how to win a championship. The Phils did, the Sixers did, the Flyers did and I witnessed them.

Oh I understand what it means to be a fan..

When you are in the Military stationed overseas and the only NFL Football you get to watch are the NFC championship game, AFC Championship game, and Superbowl then you will understand my point of view as well. I got to see my Eagles play in 4 NFC Championship games and 1 superbowl all while being stationed on Aircraft Carriers in the middle of the Persian Gulf and Atlantic Oceans. They gave me a sense of being home for the 4hrs each game was and I was just happy to watch them. Was I upset that they didnt win? Of course. But to watch 3 NFC championship games in a row in a shop on the boat with my fellow Shipmates who were NYG, CHI and other teams and they were not able to watch a single game of there teams season all year was special to me and the other Eagles fans out there. I dont care if they are not Bill status or that they havent won a Superbowl. What I care and remember about those games was how it felt like I was back home instead of in the 120 degree Gulf.

And the Flyers won there Cups in the 1st decade of their existence. Since then they havent won a cup.. I havent witnessed a Cup winning Flyers team, I was to young to witness a Sixers Championship team as well.


Back on the topic of this thread after watching the horrible performance of the Giants tonight does everyone think its The coachs fault? I mean Eli threw almost 5 pics today, There recievers were dropping alot of balls, Both your RB's had bad fumbles, and your punter still sucks.. Did the Giants defense even have a sack today? The Giants played good in the 1st half but the 2nd half they looked like a totally different team. They are going to have a hard time in DC next week with the Skins beating the Jags today in Jacksonville.
