You Stay Classy Philly

I totally disagree, the eagles played with total class and respect. It's the offense's job to score points and the defenses job to keep us from scoring points.

Bingo. To borrow an old phase from Andy Griffith, "what it was was football".

You are supposed to play as hard as you can till the last second ticks off the clock. It's the other teams job to save their dignity. If they can't, too bad. You're gonna hold an ass whoopin. If you don't like it, play better.

There should be no better lesson to the team than a good ass whuppin'. I would've thought last year's playoff loss would've taught them something.

Are fights like that common at games? I've yet to go to one in person so I'm quite curious about that.

I've been to several games and have never witnessed an out and out fight. I have witnessed verbal assault, but never physical. Hopefully men and women act more mature than that. When you get my age any physical altercation means you want to do serious harm to me. I will expect someone is trying to kill me and will react in an appropriate manner.

I have no ill will toward Reid punishing our team by scoring as much as they can. Period.

But I will say that Philly fans are some of the worst people on the planet. Go to any Carolina Hurricanes game against the Flyers and you'll some of the worst individuals you'd ever want to meet.

Panthers deserved a beating like that...and John Fox needs to take a page out of how to beat a team and not try to hold a lead.

lol, well put... Being 25, I think once you get out of high school, fights are a threat on one's life... We're too old for that stuff.

That being said, the fighting depends on alcohol for the most part. There is always some jaw-jacking going on between opposing fans, but I think the alcohol is usually what takes it over the top.

Cool, I'm glad they don't seem to be a regular sorta thing.

Fights are not that common. I think it really depends on the fans of the opposing team. Most are respectable. Philly and Skins fans are not. Its a shame we play them in back to back home games.

FWIW I believe in the "holding back" policy in every level of football, except professional. College, high school, middle school, yeah, if you go for it on fourth down while up forty points in the fourth quarter, you deserve a punch in the face. But in professional? No. They're getting paid millions, I'm not going to feel sorry for them if they put get destroyed by fifty and can't stop a team that passes for a touchdown at the end of the game.

Anyone else feel Andy Reid acted and coached with total disregard for sportsmanship and class today? I'm all for a team putting your foot on someone's throat when you're up and crushing them, but he went way overboard. I felt like he had a personal dislike for us. I don't know if it's that he's still bitter about '03 or what. But I was pissed.

WTF was up with going for 2 different 4th downs in the 4th quarter when they were already up 28 points? WTF was up with bringing back in the first unit on their defense to stop us from scoring a sympathy TD? That was a total lack of class, and I don't ever remember seeing a team do sh*t like that other than Belichick and the Pats (which usually happens at least once a year). I usually pull for McNabb too as long as it's not detrimental to us, but I honestly feel he deserved the broken rib. That sh*t was ridiculous.

After the way they acted, I don't know how Fox even shook his hand. But, then again, I don't know why Fox has done a lot of things that he's done. Anyone else noticed this?

I see no problem with the way they played.

I didnt read more than half the first post on this thread, but it is gay. Would you rather have Reid kick field goals and run up the score? He actually wanted to get his backup QB some work, he obviously needs it and may have to play next week. Not his fault we sucked fuging ass and couldnt keep the game close. Stop bitching crybabies, you suck as bad as Jake did yesterday.
