Eagle Fans Complaints

Jacksorbetter+ · Feb 7, 2005

The Eagle fans are always fun to listen to on sports radio after a loss. The mood of the town is obviously very depressed. Their biggest complaints this morning are:
1. Clock management- saying the team wasn't prepared as they didn't have to play from behind this year.
2. Andy Reid- tired of him being outcoached in a big game.
3. Donovan McNabb- didn't like him smiling after throwing INT's, also saying he chokes in the big game.
4. Freddy Mitchell- talked too much crap and got Rodney Harrison fired up. Also Harrison caught more of McNabb's passes than Freddy.

Not one person I heard gave credit to NE. Typical Eagle fans.

I would have to agree with #4 above ...........

it was funny that on Freddie Mitchell's only catch of the game, he jumps up and looked as though he's getting ready to do a dance or the 1st down signal, but decides to jog back to the huddle.

All 4 points are accurate. And I would have to agree with many, that if it were not the Pats, I would have been rooting for the EAGLES, and I am an anti NFC EAST fan minus the Cowboys.

I know Philly well as you do MB, and this town will not forgive your 4 points above, but the FACT is this PHILADELPHIA had more HEART in that GAME then the Patriots, but when it was crunch time, they reacted like a minor league team, with minor league coaching. I guess what I am saying is that they acted like what you would expect from a team from PHILADELPHIA.

For that I feel bad for the town, but maybe this whole montra that they live in, is their martyr passion that will eventually bring them a championship

Mitchell was just worried about getting his head "Fred Exed" to him.

He will be on a new team next year, and he will stink there as well

We squandered a lot of opportunities...I don't think Freddie was going to be a factor anyways with TO back (and TO was a monster). Pats are the better team but we were the better team for a lot of that game. I think it's safe to say the Eagles are the 2nd best team in the NFL now after we gave NE a much better game than Pittsburgh or Indy.

The definitley win the SUPER BOWL for HEART over all the other teams, I will give you that, and TO showed he is one of the most dominant figures in the NFL. Look for Colts Eagles next year

Very tough for a big fan of a team like Sportsbet to get close and have to deal with defeat.

I think we have all been there. Red Sox fans certainly have.
