I went to one Eagles game in Philly and one Flyers game. Those fans are just plain ANGRY no matter how their team is doing! In both cases, their team won!! Never seen anything like it, and I've been to a lot of different sports events in many cities.

I consider this the year of our Missing Ring.

That year was the year without Payton...

And why are we doing this to ourselves? We're better than the Falcons and other kids...

I've been a Flyers fan since the 70's and can concur. Their fans are pretty embarrassing, and their forums are awful.

no, the league decides who wins. Eagles were winning no matter who was on the other side.

2011 is certainly the year of the missing ring.

Of course we could have. That is the thing with parity in the NFL. The teams are so much closer in talent level than one might think that the old adage "any given sunday" really is true.
