Yeah, Cards are the pick for the neutral. I’m not.
Fournette’s out tomorrow - wet crummy field where TB’s best back is Vaughn.
I get that but Jerry Jones is as deplorable as it gets. Jeffrey Lurie is probably one of if not the most liberal owners in the NFL, he was behind the players protesting during the anthem. Jones doesn’t allow any of that.
Oh, you were anti-Cowboys too. Missed that. No beef with someone going NFC West, I guess.
A wet field favors the pass, actually. But it’s supposed to be pretty windy, too.
I’m surprised you can muster much dislike for AZ. They’re a borderline joke franchise.
It’s hard to find any NFC North fans that really root against the Lions (I think). Their opinion is mostly “LOL Lions”.
Cards aren’t that bad, but I figured it would be similar.
As a Bengals fan, I want to finally beat San Francisco in a Super Bowl. Can’t root for the Eagles because I like Santa Claus. When I have no obvious rooting interest, I like to root for whoever the networks don’t want.
I meant more in terms of fumble risk - Fournette’s been good at that and Vaughn’s gotta be an unknown.
It could work in TB’s favor - maybe they won’t do as many useless first down runs. Won’t affect their play action game as Leftwich and Arians don’t know what play action is.
I think people have just written the Eagles off as having no shot. Actually beat Bucs and Packers and they’ll get love.
Cardinals have more of a feel of “underdog, but with a shot”.
Only 5 losing seasons since 2007 with a Super Bowl appearance and another NFC championship game appearance in that time, so they’re not that bad in recent memory. Rivalry only dates back to 2002, so they were only really a joke that was relevant to me for 6 seasons.
My issue w eagles are they have beaten zero teams w a winning record this year. Not one.
That’s a problem in the playoffs.
Plus I hate the eagles.
Lol at all these front runners who only root for favorites. I’m personally pulling for the Pats. Love me a good underdog story.
Fair enough. I still think Eagles are a better team for you to pull for than the fucking Cowboys. Cuse makes the case pretty convincingly.
Does anyone really hate the Eagles? I thought people mainly root against Philadelphia sports fans.
He’s a Cowboys fan.
lots of team fanbases don’t like the eagles
NFC East is basically all hate each other.
Does anyone outside the division really hate the Eagles?
Stealer’s fans. And Lebowski fans.
Lots of people used to hate the Eagles because of Vick and the dogfighting. But I’d guess that specific cause of hatred has waned substantially.
So, Collingsworth nepotismed his kid into a sports broadcasting gig? How did I not know this?
Cuse, I assume this is pretty standard, right? @anon38180840
I’m a cowboys fan, I definitely hate the eagles.
I actually have issues with entire state of Pennsylvania.
