Iggles can't talk

PrintI have been quite sick of all of the Iggles fans thinking they're all that and keep bringing up our 13 year playoff win drought. Well, I just thought it was about time to let the cat out of the bag for everyone. Have a look at the site here.
Although it doesn't give the exact date of their next playoff appearance after 1960, after a little searching elsewhere you will notice something. That is that the Eagles not only didn't win a playoff game from 1960 - 1979 (that's 19 years folks), but they didn't even make a playoff appearance from 1960 all of the way to 1978. So forget teams not winning a playoff game in 13 years. The Eagles didn't even make it to the playoffs for 18 years, much less WIN a playoff game. Just thought that it was time to remind everyone who America's team is. Philadelphia Iggles are America's Wanna-be's, if anything.
I am excited for this year with the new team and new beat down we are going to deliver to not only the NFC East but the entire NFL. How 'bout dem cowboys!!

man, i hate the egrets.
to those of you from philly, an egret is a little white bird that eats ticks off of cows. i’d hate for the nickname to be incompletely understood.
but, as much as i dislike that team and its fans, there is great solace to be had in their pathetic history. i wouldn’t even hate them if it weren’t for non-football related things about them (bounty bowl, irvin applause, etc.), because they just haven’t been very noteworthy on the field over the years. thanks for the post!
Eagles were the laughing stock of the league in the 70s
The Cowboys crushed them all the time, its really no wonder why their fans hate us so much.
In Romo we Trust
And now?
they’re one of the favorites to in the NFC for the last 10 seasons. How’s that playoff streak going for yo guys?
Brian Dawkins for President
Wrong
Last ten years:
Your division lead only spans 4 consecutive years (2001 thru 2004)
Three times in the last 10 years you actually came in LAST PLACE
Eagles in the NFC East, finished:
2008 – 2nd
2007 – 4th
2006 – 1st
2005 – 4th
2004 – 1st
2003 – 1st
2002 – 1st
2001 – 1st
2000 – 2nd
1999 – 5th
That’s the Eagle’s problem – lack of consistency
and the Cowboys?
you should bring up the same the graph for the “Boys” only a cowboys fan would see that as a bad 10 years. 5 1st places, 2 2nd places and a super bowl appearance. Yah we suck.
Brian Dawkins for President
Yah i said..
A favorite…not THE favorite. 9 out of 10 of those years Philly was in the mix for the favorite in the NFC. Name another team in the NFC that was in the mix more than Philly for the last 10 years. Put up the playoff wins vs Dallas’ playoff wins from the last 10 yrs. I’ll give you Dallas’ playoff wins in the last 10 yrs. ZERO, ZILTCH, NADDA! I think they made it past the first round 1 year because of a first round bye…LOL
Brian Dawkins for President
People like you...
Are the reason we like to remind you guys about how many suberbowl rings you got…….
ZERO, ZILTCH, NADDA!
Well..
i guess the 49’ers are just as good as the Cowboys. They’re on the same level as you…Tell you what you can stay on that level, we’ll keep be dominant in the NFC..when you start being consistent and start winning a playoff game then you can talk. That should keep you quiet for the next 10-15 years.
Brian Dawkins for President
All arguments here are moot
The argument was taken here in a different light of super bowl trophies, the typical comeback for cowboys. You have had an 18 year playoff drought. I don’t think I need to remind you that means you didn’t even make the playoffs for 18 years. You say that our thing is current so it matters more. Past, Present, doesn’t matter. It still happened. Eventually our little streak of being winless in the playoffs will come to an end so it will be in the past, just like your 18 year playoff drought. So stop making excuses trying to make this sound worse than yours, because it isn’t. It still happened, and the fact that ours is happening now is irrelevant because it won’t last forever. So how about you just accept that you had a 18 year playoff drought, proving that we are on equal ground. Because no team will make the playoffs and win every year, plain and simple.

you include 1961 as one of the drought years… but you don’t count 1960 as a championship year. Hmmm….

Who said anything about the 49ers???
Eagles are a speedbump on a teams road to the superbowl……. Nothing more……
It's so funny
to see these eagles fans posting on Youtube and football forums “44-6 44-6 44-6” like it was the defining moment of their franchise. But when you have nothing to show for being a contender for the past decade…I guess you take what you can get. Like the poll by the way.
Why do you think I put all of them up
can’t pick them all but they are all things to be excited about and all legitamate reasons why we will be much better next year than so many people are predicting.

Eagles fan here
Not trying to troll or anything, but I think the battle lines have been drawn for a while now between our two franchises. Eagles fans are going to mention notable games (like “44-6”) and Cowboys fans are going to mention winning five Super Bowls.
The great thing about these rivalries is that they never end. Fifty years from now our grandchildren will be fighting these same battles. Maybe by then the Eagles will also have five Super Bowls, or maybe the Cowboys will have ten, or both. Who knows?
Thanks for giving input WITHOUT acting like a jerk
Some eagles’ fans should read your post and follow suit.
If I was to leave remarks on the Eagles’ blog – this would be the right way to do it!
I'm a regular at one of the largest forums around
And I’ve met a few respectable fans from every team in the East, but the truth is that the most annoying ones in the whole East are the Iggles… But that comes with the territory… As they haven’t won what matters they have to live with the little that they accomplish…
Like winning another of those Draft trophies… That really don’t mean much.
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
Anyone ever notice that its all Eagles?
I have never seen a Giants or Redskins fan come on and blog on a Cowboys site and try to cause a rawkus.

i think the reason for that is....
the topic is “Iggles can’t talk.” If it said “Skins can’t talk” then you might be seeing some of them and very few of us. It’s like you overhearing someone calling you a bitch and expecting you to walk away. You would probably confront the person. The reason we came here is to defend ourselves where we would otherwise be defenseless.
When we post blogs about the cowboys, you can bet your ass we see some of you guys over there. I like it. I welcome other teams to come over. What good is a rivalry if you can’t have fun with it?

Nice to see an eagles fan on here not being a total jerk
I despise the eagles, but I will never go out of my way to rub it in anyone’s face when we lay down a beating. Good to see someone else with some decency on the other side of this rivalry.

This playoff drought riff started because..
we were tired of hearing about the rings. No doubt the Boys were good for alot of years while we were terrible. I for one have had many arguments with Dallas’ fans, and it always comes to an end with “how many rings do u have?” This is our rebuttle. Plain and simple.
Brian Dawkins for President
You make it sound as if we haven't been good for a very long time
we are only 2 years removed from going 13-3. That should be pretty good by anyone’s standards (even if we lost the playoff game that year.) The Eagles have only accomplished a 13-3 record once in their history (2004), the same year they lost the Super Bowl by 3 to NE. The very next year (2005) they only won 6 games all year and didn’t sniff the playoffs.
During the Landry years (which I know was a very long time ago) DAL had 20 consecutive winning seasons.
What is the longest streak of consecutive winning seasons for the Eagles? 7
And when was that? 1943 to 1949
Cowboys Fans have 2 “Aces in the hole” in any dialogue with Eagles Fans:
1) 5 Super Bowl Rings
2) Consistency Over The Long Haul
You can have your 13-3 record
I’ll take a playoff win and super bowl appearance any time. Thats what i love about Cowobys fans, they only like stats..kinda like TO, as long as he looks good he doesn’t care about the team. Have your 13-3 i’ll take 8-8 and a few playoff wins anytime. “and Romo drops the snap” OHHHHH
Brian Dawkins for President
After all your gibberish
Nothing changed……
Dallas still has:
1) 5 Super Bowl Rings
2) Consistency Over the Long Haul
Do I really need to spell out the consistency here?
Considering the cowboys have one the NFC East division 2 times less than the eagles have made the playoffs I’d call that consistency. Check it and you’ll find i’m right.

Eagles fans will never stop hearing about the Rings
until they tie or surpass our number of Super Bowl wins
How many years do you estimate it will take the Eagles to win a total of SIX Super Bowls, without the Cowboys winning another one during that span of time? Whatever that date is…..that’s when you’ll stop hearing about the Five Rings.
I’m not trying to be a smart-ellic, but that will probably not happen in the next 75 years or so.
Sorry, dude – you’re just gonna have to get used to it!
Because it's have you have
your like that old man that keeps fighting way after his prime. he used to be good, but just doesn’t have it anymore, and everyone is getting so tired of hearing him talk about his prime.
Brian Dawkins for President
Super Bowl wins are what people actually REMEMBER
the Boys have cemented themselves in football history with what they have done in their “prime”, what do the Eagles have to show for the “best” years of their franchise? Sure the Eagles have been good for the past decade; but I’m sure every Eagles fan would trade in those good years with deep playoff runs that amounted to nothing for one super bowl win and 9 years of going below .500.

You're saying the Cowboys are a "has been" team
I’m saying the Eagles are a “never been” team
You guys won 0.5 more games than us last year – big whup!
Ummm, winning games that matter....
What about Super Bowls?
Oh, I see, those Super Bowls are past history… Oh, yeah… And the game that you guys like to bring up and the domination of your team in this past decade is the present, right?
No, it’s also past history.
Duh! Your team has a history of not winning the games that matter. So, please, before you write another stooopid thing limit yourself to writing on your team blog, alright?

Don't be mad
We’re still making the playoffs and winning the division like we always have been and on a consistent basis. We won’t do it every year but like always, there won’t be a very long time that goes by that we don’t make the playoffs or win the division. But face it, Eagles are America’s Wanna-bes until you win a superbowl. And even when you win a Super Bowl you’ll still be a wanna be because you want to get the 5 that we have.

"No matter where you go, you are what you are playa"-Jay Z
I don't think there is a question
about who has been the more successful franchise historically. That is clearly the Dallas Cowboys. Up until last year we were arguably the most successful franchise in league history (damn you Steelers).
Over the last decade though, the Eagles have owned us. Really the only success we’ve had has come in the form of hurting one of their key players. They are having Bill Polian-like success year in and year out, and always seem to be in the Super Bowl hunt, while we are left waiting for next year.
This could be our year though. We’ve got the QB. We’ve got the monster rushing attack. And we’ve got the best defensive player in the league. It’s time for us to step up and take back the NFC.
Ed Reed is Over rated....
Demarcus…… is the Shi#…..
I thank God everyday i wasnt born a Eagles fan!!!!!!
I think different.
Ive read numerous times the reason he gets so many picks is because he breaks from his coverages to go after somebody eles which results leaving players wide open… Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt…. And to Say the Ravens havebeen so good for so many years without and offense someone must not be overrated……Thats dumb rio because Ed Reed isnt the only player on that Defense ever hear of Ray lewis…. and Last couple years they’ve had the best linebacker trio in the leauge and one of the best DC’s in the leauge to.
Can't say if the roles were reversed
I wouldn’t be bringing up the playoff drought and the last game shellacking as well.
Eh..
If I was an Eagles fan, I’d be more upset that there was a 4-5 year span where they were the best team in the NFC BY FAR and they could only make it to one super bowl.
While I hate that Dallas was in a huge playoff drought, the truth of the matter is up until about 4 years ago, Dallas had a just a crappy to mediocre team. That year that Quincy Carter made it to the playoffs was an overachievement.
Plus, winning playoff games is nice, but 10 years from now nobody gives a crap who made it to the NFC Championship, they care about who has a Super Bowl ring.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
SO TRUE
I better watch out. I’m wearing a santa suit. I don’t want to get to close to an eagles fan. And cheering irvin’s injury- plain uncool. You didnt see that from us when we knocked out mcnabb.
or even when Roy Williams took out TO
I despise the Eagles more than any other sports team and you will never see me cheering when someone gets injured. For them when an opposing player goes down you’d think they just scored the game winning touchdown.
One other thing...
And this touches on KDP’s point above…
…Cowboys fans are always going to bring up the five Super Bowls (and you’re well within your rights to do so), but it’s important to recognize that the Eagles did win three NFL titles. There were championships before the Super Bowl era – we won it all in 1948, 1949 and 1960. Now we have a bad fifty year drought and we haven’t won in the Super Bowl era, but the NFL has existed longer than that. There are a lot of gridiron greats from the old era that deserve not to be forgotten.
Also, I’m glad we can be civil with one another. We can all agree we have two sweet match-ups coming our way this year!
Can't be counted here
As far as this argument goes we can’t count for anything that the eagles have done before the cowboys entered the league, and all of those championships happened before they had to cowboys to contend with. So not to say its nothing or it doesn’t count at all because they aren’t super bowl trophies. Its just that when talking about a rivalry, you can’t go back before one of those teams existed, so as far as cowboys and eagles go in this argument, Cowboys have 5 championships (8 NFC) while they have been in the league.

But...
…why should it matter whether or not we had you to “contend with”? We had other great teams to contend with, like the Vince Lombardi Packers in 1960. By this logic, you could also say that the Cowboys never played the Eagles in the Super Bowl so that makes it less legitimate. Championships are championships. You’ve won a lot more recently, but we got ours back in the day.
I think if the situation were reversed and the Cowboys had won the 1945 NFL Championship or something you wouldn’t hear many Cowboys fans saying, “Well we won’t count that one…”
And also
One last thing, because I understand what you mean about the rivalry – that you can’t count periods before one rival existed. My argument was more that the Eagles have won titles. A lot of Cowboys fans might not know that it happened in the pre-Super Bowl era. A lot of Eagles fans might not either.
give it a rest
it was a different era and different game.. its not even close to what football is today. In any argument it always begins 1967 or superbowl era anything before that is just crazy. This isnt baseball.
What the French?! Toast!
Football was different in the 1970s too
So your two Super Bowl rings from then – they don’t count either, right?
They were Super Bowl titles
won in the Super Bowl-era. Your point is moot.

I'll just drop it
You haven’t provided any rationale why it’s moot except for the arbitrary distinction between a “Super Bowl” and “pre-Super Bowl” era. Anyways, it’s all in the past anyways. Neither of us won last year. And we’ve got two good games coming up next year…
So
by your logic the Browns are the best franchise ever? They had like 10 AFL championships in a row.
Nothing before the merger counts in my book. That was a different game.
The Cowboys are one of the younger franchises in the NFL and we have been dominating since we came in to the league.
Yeah
I would say the Browns are one of the great NFL franchises, yes. They’re horrible now, but historically they have a lot of championships. The Packers, I believe, have the most.
There Were Like What?
Eight teams in the league when the Eagles last won something of value? In a one game playoff? Big difference when compared to winning in a 26 to 32 team league—much more competition, more playoff games, more chances to lose.
with that logic
What happens if they change the name from “superbowl” to “championship bowl” and start it at one. Does all five of your championships then become null and void because the name changed? What if they added 10 more teams to 10 cities around the country? would it nullify your championships? according to you and all other cowboys fans, the answer would be yes.
You all just stick to that senseless “logic” that because they werent SUPERBOWLS, they werent championships. You all just want so bad to say we have no rings that you ignore basic logic. It’s kind of sad.

And having nothing to show for it….
Ah, yes, you can find some comfort on the ass beating that your team gave ours last season, but that comes with the fact that you guys don’t know how it feels winning something that really matters.
BTW, right now the Football Championships are called Super Bowls, if in the future those receive a new name, there won’t be a team with one of those and the first winner will be the first. The rest is going to be in the past. There will still be differences on recent and ancient pasts…. And I guess that you’re catching my drift….

But...
they’re still world champions right? so either way whatever you call it…we’ve won championships.

From Pre-Cowboys era maybe youd like to be talking to fans who care? like the Cardinal Fans i bet they have a championship to….. so bye buddie.
Funny...
why would u hold the “girls” in such regard that just because they weren’t there that a championship doesnt count. God didn’t have a team either but i’m sure it still counts as a championship.
Brian Dawkins for President
Highly Questionable Analogy
Your argument of changing names of the Super Bowl is a red herring, as you well know, and has nothing to do with what I was originally saying. What I said was that the level of competition matters, that’s it’s much harder to win in a 32 team league with at least three playoff games, than in an eight team league with the champion just having to win once in the postseason. Huge difference, which is well understood by virtually everyone.
Adding 10 teams wouldn’t change things. Adding another 60 to 90 teams would—because now the field just got another three to four times harder to win. Just like it did from 1960 to 1970, when the league expanded and merged. That’s why modern history in the league is marked by the Super Bowl era: It’s when competition jumped by an order of magnitude, and winning really meant something.
And, the Eagles haven’t done so well in this era.
THey had an all native american team as well once in a blue moon
i thought that was funny when i saw that come up on Madden
Lets not dwell in the past guys
The question is…who is the better team now? Eagles or the Cowboys? That’s all that matters. You would be lying to yourself if you think the Cowboys are better than the Eagles. I love our rivalry. That’s one of the reasons we are the best division in sports not just football. We wouldn’t be Philly fans if we are too soft with our arguments. Its in our blood to be tough. We hate with passion and love with passion. That’s what make us the best fans in sports. Good luck next season. Thoughts and prayers go out to Joe DeCamillis, Greg Gaither and especially Rich Behm.
Taking Route 36 will bring you to Touchdown,PHI
Ugh
Eagles are good. Cowboys are good. You guys finished a half game ahead. Congratulations. Nobody knows yet which team is better. Every year is entirely different from the last in the NFL. I wouldn’t be lying to myself to say the Cowboys could potentially be vastly superior to the Eagles in the coming 09 season. I could be very wrong, but the assumption that since the Eagles trounced the Cowboys in the last game of the regular season(and no denying, they absolutely did) automatically makes them the better team is absurd. There’s absolutely nothing to base that opinion on. The 09 roster for both teams will be very different from their 08 counterparts.
Assumption. It’s made an ass of you. Period.

Best fans in sports eh?
The rest of the sporting world disagrees with you.
Yeah...
Being in the military , I’ve seen all kinds of different sports fans.
One common theme:
Everyone either hates or loves the Cowboys, they are by FAR the most hated team.
BUT anyone I’ve ever talked too, will come out and say that Eagle fans are by far the worst fans in football, possibly in sports.
I’m not saying that EVERY fan is like that, because I don’t think every fan is anything, but there is reason that the fans have a bad name there.
The cheering when players get really injured, the fact that they’ve been trying to push Donovan McNabb out of Philly for at least the past 5-6 years, despite the fact that he’s far and away the best QB the franchise has ever had, and the masses of things thrown at people… I think there is a clear reason why someone would think they are the worst.

you act like Philly had a 15-1 record and just swept the division.
They whipped Dallas, but they split games with them and was the sixth seeded wildcard.
Besides, at least Dallas is more known for its sports franchise than a fictional character.
Oh and newsflash, Brian Dawkins isn’t an Eagle anymore.
There’s 11 super bowls between the NFC East teams, and how many has Philly contributed?

I’m saying it doesn’t take a tough guy to make personal insults over the internet.
I never attacked you personally, because I’m not a cowardly little bitch.
If you want to go out and attack teams and fans on something you know, then have at it, but being condescending towards me and insinuating that I’m a moron, isn’t cool.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
what happened to my post?
'he nails an open three from the corner....just like you and me, this one was made by penetration' - Truthaboutit - Round 1 Game 5 Recap
Coming out of the woodwork
Funny how any of the other posts generate a few eagles fans on here just trying to bash the boys. Then I make a post FOR COWBOYS FANS so that they can rest easy that the Eagles and other teams have had their fair share of ups and downs and here come a flock of eagles fans to post their opinion. This wasn’t an attack, I use you team as an example because you are the only fans on OUR site actively attacking the organization. This was for Cowboys fans that didn’t know a lot about their history (besides the numbers 5, 8, 19 & 29, which refer to superbowl wins, Conference championships, division championships and playoff appearances over the past 50 years almost), so they could rest easy knowing that every team goes through this and sometimes much worse. If I wanted to ATTACK THE EAGLES then i would post something on your site, but to me its pointless. Obviously you won’t ever leave the site so we have to deal with the likes of you, but hey I look on the bright side. If it wasn’t for you Eagles fans, I would have less football talk and involvement at this time. This time of year personally for me is the most agonizing because there is no football. So thank you eagles fans for keeping football alive for us Cowboys in the off-season. I would prefer that you not be on our site, but there is a little positive in it.
Tony Romo off in dat hole, Watch roll and watch him throw, Watch him lead dem cowboys to the super bowl, now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys, Now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys, Now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys, Now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys!
Basic Belief Systems
Eagles fans are focused on beating the Cowboys—it’s their obsession.
Dallas fans are focused on collecting more Lombardi Trophies—it’s our obsession.
Because that’s all that matters.
and..
what a job you’ve done, you kind of have to win a playoff game first.
Brian Dawkins for President
After a Playoff game.....
Theres A championship…. You gotta WIN THOSE TO….. and if you squeak one out there this game called a superbowl…. then after you win the superbowl you get a lombardi trophey….. they mean you were the best team in the NFL that year… and everybody eles might as well of finished last because it doesnt count for shit coming in 4th or 3rd or even 2nd so whatever you guys can cook up in your little heads to make you sleep at night, More power to you guys…..
And With Your Team
You’ll never win one.
And with all your prior teams, you’ve never won one.
We’ve won five.
wow the 5 comment again..
i’m beginning to think it’s really all the cowboys fans have.
Brian Dawkins for President
If he IS 12...
What’s worse? The kid that was born when he was born (which is out of his control), or the guy that’s arguing with a 12 year old?
LOL
you can tell when you’re getting at someone when they throw the “are you seriously that immature, or how f’n old are you” It’s usually when they have nothing to comeback at you with.

Isn't what you guys like to brag about....
…. The past, too?
What happened last season, is the past.
What has happened in this past decade? Past.
Is it for certain that your team will be good just because your team was good in the recent past? No, it isn’t, we could see McNabb going down with a season injury early and Kolb starting… We may see the disruption that being favorites and media darlings can cause… Injuries may cripple your team… I can think of many things…
But you just don’t see things this way, that’s what homers tend to do, homers that visit other teams websites to see how much noise tehy can make…
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
No it's the present still..
we have the same corps of guys here. The same coaching staff, QB, RB, WR corps, defense (almost). So it’s considered the past until this is all past. I know you Cowboys’ fans would like to say that your still the championship caliber team you were in the mid 90’s, but you aren’t and Philadelphia is a much better team since then.
Brian Dawkins for President
Uh, just like the eagles were good in 2005, no?
I mean, at that time, that was the present too, right? And in the recent past your team went all the way to the Super Bowl (to lose, BTW). What happened the next season? You probably have those memories blocked or you’re one of those that are happy to bring Owens as the scapegoat for your team collapse…
But of course, such a thing can’t happen again…. Can’t…. Can’t…. Can’t…. (Shivering)…. (Shivering)…. (Shivering)….
;D
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
...
yah and we’ve rebounded quite well since then. You guys, well you’ve just stayed the same shitty team that can’t win a playoff game.
Brian Dawkins for President
Expected type of answer....
The hidden message of my comment is this: “just because your team was good in a season doesn’t mean that your team will be good in the next. The same thing happens with average or bad teams, you shouldn’t expect them to be at the same level.”
But yeah, what can I expect from an Iggle fan…
;D
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
Yep
We’ve won like 32 of them, including eight Championship games, and five Super Bowls.
We haven’t won a playoff game since 1996. Yeah. I get it.
Doesn’t matter. Eagles haven’t ever won a Lombardi Trophy.
That matters.
The Eagles can beat Dallas 52-0 every time they meet for the next century…and unless they eventually get to slip a Super Bowl ring on their fingers…it doesn’t matter.
oh we realize...
we realize how many rings you have, people from texas only talk about how hot their sisters are and 200 years ago when they won 5 rings. They don’t speak much of their present state of the team tho, well i wouldn’t either if i was a fan of a team that can’t win a playoff game in what 13 seasons? So keep up talking about how many rings you’ve won because you know its probably the last one you’ll ever win. Funny that i never ever hear the 49’ers fans brag as much as you Dallas fans do about ancient history. They know they suck now and maybe some day you will too. But until then talk about the past like its today. Hey i heard Aikman threw really well in his mini camp, and Dorsett is looking good too, good thing they drafted that awesome new wideout Michael Irvin. Oh and about the comment of us beating you 52-0 every year and it doesn’t matter. Thats the exact comment i would expect from a stupid Cowboys fan. Think about what you’ve said, we can beat you every game 52-0 but because you have 5 rings from the past you’ll be happy. WOW amazing comment.

Inadventent Humor
Is always the best, and we can always count on Eekgirls fans to come through.
From 1980 to 1983 Dallas had the best record in the NFL, and were in three straight Championship games. You think anybody cared about that? Of course not, because they won zero Super Bowls. That’s all that matters:, Winning Super Bowls. You think they play the games to see who has the best regular season record? Who shows up in the most conference championships in ten years? Nope. They play to collect rings. That’s all that matters.
You are in fact proving my point that Eekgirls fans are obsessed to a childish degree over beating Dallas. And until the Eekgirls finally put on a ring, they’re nothing but pretenders. Your appearance in last year’s Championship game counted as much towards the ultimate hardware as Detroit going 0-16.
There’s multiple layers of irony that you venture into a Cowboys site and trash talk with posts rife with misspellings, missing punctuation, and logic hole ten miles wide, then declare I’m the one who’s a braggart and stupid. I mean, I’ve got a good sense of humor, but I can’t dream up stuff this hilarious.
Eekgirl fans throwing cognitive dissonance-inspired temper tantrums are the most priceless displays anywhere. Thanks for sharing.
Keep publishing posts about us...
and we’ll show up, and i wasn’t aware that this I was being graded on this. Great to know that out of all the post you picked mine for having bad punctuation and bad grammar. That means alot from a Cowboys fan. It means i’m getting under your skin and that was the whole point. Thanks for reassuring me of this. I WIN
Brian Dawkins for President
Getting a Little Defensive?
I mean, even beyond your established levels of behavior? It’s usually small children who scream “I win” when they’re trying to convince themselves in the face of evidence to the contrary. You’ll “win” when your team can hoist a Lombardi trophy. Until then, you’re just kidding yourself.
you can’t begin a sentence with the word “and”
you can’t follow a colon with a comma
Brian Dawkins for President
Of Course I Can
I just did. Or do you not yet know how to read?
Now, you tell me who’s gotten under whose skin.
At first it was cute,
but now I hate this thread. Rivalries are only fun when they remain civil. The occasional jabs, light trash talking, etc. Now it’s just getting redundant, and in more than one case becoming personal. C’mon guys…

I don't know BDawk was scoring in the early rounds....
but he’s dropping his hands to cover up those bodyshots. I think this one will go the distance, we probably won’t know the winner until we see the corecards.
Just throwing it out there
No team historically has won more playoff games than the dallas cowboys, so don’t take our recent woes for null. I think it speaks pretty highly of a team that hasn’t won a playoff game for 13 years now and still leading the pack in total playoff wins.

LOL
as a Giants fan, this might be my favorite thread ever. I feel like Henry Kissinger during the Iran-Iraq War.
Anyway though, I actually have to say (as dirty as this makes me feel) that I come down on the Cowboys side in this. Eagles fans are absolutely delusional when they say things like they wouldn’t trade their recent “success” for the Cowboys overall history. It would be one thing if they were in like the AFC North or NFC East and just had to compare themselves to the Steelers or the Niners, but consider this: to date, the NFC has won 22 Super Bowls. 11 of those have come from teams currently in the NFC East (by far the most of any division, the next closest is the AFC North with 7, mostly b/c of the Steelers). Of those 11, exactly 0% have come from Philadelphia. Six times a season they are going up against 3 of the most storied franchises in NFL history, and their biggest claim to fame is Vince Papali (ok, slight exaggeration, but still). Talk about an inferiority complex.
::waits for Eagles fans to say that them beating the Giants in the playoffs last year was somehow more gratifying than the Giants winning the Super Bowl two years ago::
For what it’s worth, I’d rather see the Cowboys win 5 more Super Bowls than the Eagles win a single one, and the Cowboys were always my least favorite team growing up. Going to college near Philly changed my perspective.
d'oh
“It would be one thing if they were in like the AFC North or NFC West”
Wanted to add one more thing, to solidify a point regaberto said above: no Giants fan was satisfied with the way last season ended. Ending up with the best record in the NFC meant absolutely nothing except a crappier draft pick b/c they didn’t win the big one. I’m sure Cowboys fans felt the same way two years ago, and I’m sure Redskins fans felt the same way in back in ’99 (last time they won the NFC East). Yet Eagles fans brag when they have seasons like that, as if they actually accomplished something.
AWWW...
how cute the Cowobys’ fans have a new friend…Look at them play together, its so cute. Giants and Cowboys fans are just about the cutest thing ever.
I’d hate the Eagles if i were a Giants or a Cowboys fan too. It only makes it sweeter when we hand you your asses in the playoffs. Or at the end of the season, last game of the regular season to be exact. So to see you 2 ganging up on us is just priceless.
Brian Dawkins for President
Are you seriously?
That immature?

isn’t it obvious, I mean the dickwad is here stirring a stink. Of course he’s that childish, it’s sad when someone without a dog in this fight knows we’re right. Now the Green Retard has to bash this and impugn motive. He has no logical basis to refute what cjmulrain said, so he must insult, and smear intent. It is a classic example of emotion based socialized behavior.

But..
doesn’t it make you worse arguing with someone with that behavior? I mean would you argue with someone that has downs syndrome or has a mental retardation? I mean if you’re gonna say that i have a behavioral problem and your arguing with me, doesn’t that just reflect what kind of person you are? I wouldn’t argue with someone like that.
And to tell everyone in the room that i have this behavior and to call me a dickwad, just not cool man. Not cool. I mean let’s talk about personal attacks here.
Also if you’re gonna start a post that is trying to stir the pot with Eagles fan’s, Don’t bitch and moan about it. Don’t keep coming back to the post, argue your point with someone, and then call them childish. Only to come back the next day and do it all over again. MY GOD, ARE YOU CRAZY? I am…I mean I have behavioral problems so i have an excuse. The rest of you are just cruel.
Brian Dawkins for President
Valid comeback...
see this is the usual comeback when you have nothing. I took the 12 year old thing in stride, but you give it back and they give you. “Are you seriously that immature?” WOW this from the guy that thought i was personally attacking him..Called me a tough guy, said i was an idiot because I don’t use my real name on a forum, and called me a cowardly bitch (when he said he doesn’t do this because its immature). YOU ROCK
Brian Dawkins for President
I find it hilarious that cowboys fans can only talk about the past
Although it doesn’t give the exact date of their next playoff appearance after 1960, after a little searching elsewhere you will notice something. That is that the Eagles not only didn’t win a playoff game from 1960 – 1979 (that’s 19 years folks), but they didn’t even make a playoff appearance from 1960 all of the way to 1978. So forget teams not winning a playoff game in 13 years. The Eagles didn’t even make it to the playoffs for 18 years, much less WIN a playoff game.
No team historically has won more playoff games than the dallas cowboys, so don’t take our recent woes for null. I think it speaks pretty highly of a team that hasn’t won a playoff game for 13 years now and still leading the pack in total playoff wins.
We’ve won like 32 of them, including eight Championship games, and five Super Bowls.

This whole post is just annoying.
If you dont want to talk about the past then were on a equal playing field. And the 44-6 didnt happen but im sure that still counts right? Only because its benificial to your guys sad franchise….
LOL
that’s about all you can say, but if you had beaten us that bad. You would be all over it saying how much that win meant to you. How it was worth not making the super bowl just to have that over us. The satisfaction is: we kicked KICKED your ass that day, went to the playoffs and had a chance at a super bowl. Which is a hell of a lot more than you can say about your team.
“YAH BUT WE GOT 5 RINGS” blah blah blah
Brian Dawkins for President
That's the mindset of a fan that has seen his team continuously fall short....
In November 4th 2007 our team beat to shreds your team, in the end the score was 38-17 and the last score came with a Baskett TD in a time consuming drive (our defense gave up anything short).
What did we took out of that game? Some bragging rights? And what was received as your response? Come to me when your team really wins something.
Right now, things reversed. But our team has actually won the whole thing, so it’s interesting to us seeing how your brethren’s enthusiasm out of such a victory rivals our enthusiasm when our team won those trophies… That’s your team Super Bowl, without the trophy.
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
Yah..
We’ve fallen short, but we haven’t fallen as short as the Cowboys. We make the playoffs and win playoff games. We lost the Super Bowl, but we made it which is a HELL of a lot more than you can say.
Dude do u understand that we have 3 championships? Do u know that? WE HAVE 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS look it up ‘48, ’49, & ’60. Just because they started calling it the Super Bowl after we won ours doesn’t make them less important. If you believe it does then: if they start calling the championship game ‘NFL OMEGA BOWL’ yours won’t count either.
I don’t care if Dallas wasn’t in the league. Thats like saying that the Boston Celtics Championships don’t count because the Toronto Raptors weren’t in the league in the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s.
Brian Dawkins for President
Were you alive when your team won those championships?
The you really don’t know how it feels cheering for a champion.
It’s way different than cheering a beating that really isn’t worthy of much.
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
OHHH
so now you have to be alive for them to count? I see, well i’ll tell everyone in here that has kids. THEY CAN NEVER EVER say WE HAVE 5 RINGS!!! We won championships, they can never say that because they weren’t alive at that time.
Very valid point, very valid. Hey you can’t believe in cars, television, computers, dinosaurs, the earth, the galaxy either….because you weren’t there. IDIOT.
I’ll assume that you’re done posting because you weren’t alive when the alphabet was conceived therefore you mustn’t believe in it. again IDIOT = genius cowboys fans.
Hey wait were u alive when the Cowboys were founded? I hope you were because otherwise they don’t count.
Brian Dawkins for President
Go ahead and count your championships
and everybody eles in the world will measure them selves on superbowls…. your like a lil kid who’s got to get the last word in.. No body cares about your dam eagles and there 49 years of not winning anything……. and overall the worst franchise in the NFC East….
And..you're an idiot.
If you think that we have the worst franchise in the NFC East then you’re an idiot but i already knew that about you. You can’t say “you need to get the last word in” when you had the last word in. It doesn’t make sense. I now have the last word in but remember I didn’t make the stupid comment you did about getting the last word in. Now we’ll see who the child is if you make another comment and make yourself out to be a hypocrite.
AND..
what a ignorant comment to make about us counting our championships when this whole Fanpost was about you guys counting yours. My God man make some sense. It’s all the Cowboys fans talk about “LOOK AT OUR 5 RINGS, HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE?” and i say we have 3 championships and you say, “GO AHEAD AND COUNT YOUR CHAMPIONSHIPS.” wow it’s like arguing with a wall but i’m not surprised by your comments or any other Dallas fan’s comments. I’ve heard it all.
Brian Dawkins for President
This artical was about your guys 19 years of Playoff droughts
Are you a lil kid… C’mon seriously Grow the eff up….. if you want to make vaild arguements and actually make sense then do it but dont call me an idiot on a blog…….. caz ya that makes you tough..
Second are you clueless? were have you lived all your life? In your moms basement getting fed great stuff about the Eagles because the last time i checked the eagles havent done anything in the last 49 years…. Your the only team in the NFC East without a Superbowl…. and the only team thats overall record is under .500. .479 to be exact…… thats down there with Tampa and Arizona!
And before you start calling me a idiot you need to look at what your writing down then erase it so you dont make yourself look like any more of a child then you are…. If you want to have logical discussions then by all means have them but continue acting like a child in your Eagles Blog not hear.
DUDE..
you called me a little kid because i had to have the last word. You said it, now here you are AGAIN proving how ignorant you are. You call people names, and then you do the exact same thing. I’m defending myself and all you have for me is..“Are you a lil kid” You’re telling me to grow up because i’m absolutely destroying you and you can’t come back with anything valid. Until you can defend yourself stop calling people children when you’re doing the same thing your calling people out for. You’re telling me to have a logical discussion, when all I get is grief when i try to defend myself. Yes you’re an idiot, and a hypocrite. You bring up these lame comments about me being a child, a lil kid, me living in my mom’s basement and you want me to have a logical discussion? First i need someone to have it with.
Brian Dawkins for President
Grow up.....
And idk replying to being called a idiot is hipicritical but if it is oh well ill give you that….. I think the thing that bothers me the most is you might be the stupidist person ive ever even talked to in my life and your calling me names……. Really how cool and tough are you man i mean calling people names on a blog, Your badass… I bet all the girls in the 5th grade are after you.
Calm down, friend, I haven't insulted you
If you want to continue your rounds of insults, I’ll be contacting this blog mods and the eagles blog mods in order to have you kicked out of here. Alright?
What I’m saying isn’t that those championship doesn’t count, but by not being alive when your team won those chamionship you guys don’t know how it feels to win the whole thing, because you haven’t lived through it and that’s the main reason behind how sweet for you was the beating that your team gave ours on December. In just the previous year our team gave yours a beating and that’s how things change from one year to the next.
It just doesn’t mean much, but for you guys, it just feels as if your team rules the world!
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
LOL
so you’re gonna have me kicked off of here? LAME dude LAME. The same type of person that would punch someone then go get his dad to fight his battles. I’m so done with you, you’ve really let me down with that comment. You try to bring some rivalry in here and instead ’I’ve found a narc’. Weak…uh oh don’t go tell on me, coward.
Brian Dawkins for President
Your a JOKE!!!
Instead of calling Chandus a coward…. think……………mmmmmmmmmmmmmm he wants to get me kicked off so there for i must be super annoying and attack people because i cant support my arguements with actual facts so i do what any 12 year old boy would do and attack him… Think buddy
There's something called rules
Maybe for an Eagle fan that’s hard to understand, in the end the only team that has jail cells on their stadiums… In this blog of SBN those rules include being politically correct, if someone insults you, you will either retaliate, which is against the rules, or you won’t degrade yourself to the other guy level.
You’re one of those guys that likes to degrade himself, I don’t.
We’re different and I already believed that we were.
Good luck, sir.
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
WOW
the child comments are pretty weak, are gonna go tell the admins now? LOL ;(
Do your facts include calling people children? Saying that they still live in their mom’s basement? Saying that the 5th grade girls are attracted to me? Again comparing me to a 12 year old boy? You’ve completely lost the argument. You’ve sunk to a whole new level. I’ve supported every argument, everyone of them.
I’m done burning you because all you have is invalid insults that are so lame that I don’t even want to deal with you anymore. Your “fact based” arguments aren’t even on my level. You haven’t given me anything except that you’re willing to back up a guy that wants to go cry to the admins because he can’t handle an online argument? WHAT? REALLY?
The fact is, you called me a child because I always need the last word, however everytime i come on here YOU HAVE THE LAST WORD!!! LMAO and yes you’re both cowards, and no i won’t be bullied into thinking that you can have me kicked off of here because i’m retaliating against you. Both of you might wanna read some of the above posts and see who’s attacking who here. OK BUDDY?!?!
