Why do YOU support this team? Because I am a crazy-person. Also I am from Eastern PA and I like green and wanted to rebel against a family of Steelers fans. What are their best and worst aspects? Pros: Insanely loyal fanbase, generally pretty good, will score lots of points Cons: Insanely insane fanbase, will flame out spectacularly in the first round of the playoffs, will allow lots of points What is your teams Front Office/Owner like? What sets them apart from the rest of the league? No one can get off Mr. Kelly's Wild Ride. I have learned to love it after a 1984-like experience. Also our owner is great. He won an Oscar! Who is your teams biggest rival? Cowboys. Alternatively any team who beat us when we were Real Good in the Andy Reid Era so that'd be: Buccaneers Panthers Patriots (  spygate!)Saints Cardinals Packers (not really though) Or any team who have won a Super Bowl so about two-thirds of the league. Who is your teams star player? What makes them worth watching? Good news! We have no star players left from last year, they're all new. Unless you think Jordan Matthews or Riley Cooper is a star player in which case uh...we have those guys. On a more serious note, on offense it's probably Sam Bradford (please don't suck...), DeMarco Murray (betrayed the Cowboys) and uh, Zach Ertz? On defense it's Connor Barwin. At least he seems to be everyone's consensus pick for best Eagles defender. Fletcher Cox too if you like big d-linemen. Who is your favorite player on the team? Why? Jon Dorenbos. Because no one ever trades/cuts long-snappers and over the last 3 years every time I've bought or received a jersey we cut/trade that player. Non-joke answer: Connor Barwin or Sam Bradford or DeMarco Murray depending on how all 3 do this year. Joke answer: TIM TEBOWWWWWWW Who is your teams worst player? Non-joke answer: Riley "The Racist" Cooper Joke answer: TIM TEBOWWWWWWW Who is your teams most promising player? Nelson Agholar. He's a rookie but he seems pretty cool? Which opposing player am I honor bound to wish death upon as a fan of this franchise? All of them. See The Body Bag game, November 1990: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_Bag_Game Alternatively, you can be Real Mad that Eli Manning is going to the Hall of Fame despite being crappy and having worse numbers than  If you could sum up your team in any one photo, what would it be?  quote:The Philadelphia Eagles are merely a series of booms and busts; the long run trend of the franchise is positive. In case you can't tell that's our TE Who Is Not Zach Ertz, aka Brent Celek hurdling Ray Lewis. Ray Lewis was a really, really good linebacker for the Ravens and stuff like that doesn't happen. The other frame is a football hitting him in the face during warmups. It encapsulates the "sometimes we do really awesome things" and "sometimes we do really dumb things" aspect of the franchise. Alternatively, chip_kellys_wild_ride.png. What am I likely to see over the next season if I follow your side? Chip Kelly's Wild Ride 2 - Electric Boogaloo Also maybe a Super Bowl run. axeil fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Jul 20, 2015 |

Also the Eagles had one of, if not the, greatest comebacks ever against the Giants in 2010. Down by 21 points with 8 minutes left, the team went on to win by 7 after a dramatic punt return by DeSean Jackson. That play was rated the greatest play ever by fans a few years back. It is one of the best football highlights ever, not just one of the best Eagles highlights, and if this video won't make you a fan, nothing will. crap quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItL4YPnOaUc official NFL highlight version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PufejLOdzs Non-YouTube Version (aka the best one because it has the Eagles Radio guy calling it) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x17idft_eagles-miracle-new-meadowlands_sport The Wikipedia article can explain some of the context around it if you want more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_at_the_New_Meadowlands axeil fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jul 20, 2015 |

El Seano posted:My top 5 favorite aspects in rough order Well the good news is regardless of whether you become an Eagles or Giants fan, the Miracle at the New Meadowlands will have a place of either love or hatred in your heart. Also, I will say that our WRs tend to make good YAC (yards after catch). Kelly does a lot of designed QB runs too. Nothing is funnier than the QB taking the ball on an option play, running 7 yards and  And if you like the flashy stuff, nothing will top WE NEED MORE POINTS 1999 for its absurdity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ83nnODDjs axeil fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jul 20, 2015 |

GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:If we add that you I'd argue the Giants are a potential playoff team assuming the rest of the team doesn't decide to play with fireworks or do the Tom Coughlin approved workout of breaking rocks with your skull. Obviously the Eagles are the best choice though because you'd get to join the Eagles Nest (a name I literally just thought up for all the TFF Eagles posters). Maybe we can get gang tags. Plus the offseason can be more fun than the regular season. Would any of the other teams make something like this?  El Seano posted:So do Giants fans still have to find Eli lovable when he somehow throws 5 picks in a single game or that when we throw him under the bus? I didn't think it'd be possible to throw 5 interceptions in a game, surely by the 3rd one they'd just go with the back up QB? I just saw this so I'll try and do a little blurb for each team. It's probably not going to do them justice. Falcons - Solid QB and WR but a horrific defense and now have a new coach. Could potentially become really good if the new coach can figure out how to get the Falcons back to where they were in 2012 or so. NY Jets - Basically just swapped coaches with the Bills. There's...not too much in the way of excitement there, but Revis is back. And he's really good at generating turnovers. Texans - A Pro Tier pick for a new team. They've got JJ Watt, who's one of the best players around, a relatively young team and if they can ever figure out how to beat Andrew Luck they'll have good chances for a deep playoff run. Buccs - Do you like starting over from scratch? Because the Buccs sure do! They're on their 3rd coach in 5? 6? years and haven't had any real sustained success since they won the Super Bowl after the Raiders forgot to change the playcalls when they traded their coach to the Buccs. No one will accuse you of being a bandwagoner. On the downside, Jameis Winston is kind of a lovely human being. Panthers - Somehow made the playoffs last year and their game against the Cardinals was either the funniest or saddest game I've ever seen. Between them and the Falcons it's a question of if you want a team that has generally shown some flashes of brilliance but have yet to really put it all together or do you want a team that was good a few years back but has fallen on hard times? Also Cam Newton really is good at the whole QBing thing, he's more fun that Matt Ryan. axeil fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Jul 20, 2015 |

Febreeze posted:Eli won us two super bowls. Eli will receive nothing but love for the rest of his Giants tenure, and we will go out of our way to blame everything else instead of Eli. This is a good flowchart.

El Seano posted:At the moment it's more Giants than Packers. Yeah he probably won't be doing that this season because he suffered a horrifying leg injury in the game against the Eagles last year. Just playing this year would be awesome for him. ODB should probably do some nuts stuff though.

Rogue Elephant posted:Cruz is expected to be in training camp from what I've heard. He didn't participate with the team in mini camp but he's running routes and all that. He's probably going to be a shell of his former self though Oh awesome, I'm glad to hear his leg's healed up. Watching him writing on the ground like that was probably one of the worst things I've ever seen during a game.

El Seano posted:So it's down to the Packers and Giants. I'm just reading up on both of their histories lately to try and help me separate them. Both of them tick a lot of the boxes I'm after: Even though I'm an Eagles fan the Packer fanbase is so monolithic and annoying I cannot in good faith recommend picking them. Go with the Giants, you'll have fun watching ODB. Plus there will be more primetime games so the GDTs will hopefully be more fun for you.
