Sigh... life as an Eagle's fan. Year after year they are just never quite good enough to win anything.

Philadelphia fans are crazy, through and through. Sure, they have a voice to announce their displeasures with the Eagles, but look at what both Reid and McNabb have accomplished in just a decade together: 8 playoff appearances, 5 NFC championships, 1 Super Bowl appearance, and the third 'winningest' record in the entire NFL (behind both the Colts and Patriots, being only one game behind New England).
But, I do agree that there have been strings of bad luck in that Philly could never capitalize on their fortunes, on their superior ball-hawking defense, their better offenses, and so on.. it's a very weird and scary thing to be a fanatic in Philly. One of a kind, really, between tolerance and malevolent ire towards the second walrus (Andy Reid) and the horse he handpicked (McNabb).
