This thread is dedicated to the last 49 years of misery for the Philadelphia Eagles in honor of Draft Day and the start of the 2010 NFL season. They have not won a championship since 1960 and there is reason to believe that this will mark the 50th anniversary of that banner year.
What a franchise, huh?
We have seen many notable droughts for sports teams throughout the years, but I think this is a significant one.
The question is:
Will the Birds make it 50 straight years without a championship???
I would bet $1 Million dollars on YES if I had the money.
Now, let's hear your thoughts...

You are only at 42 years! Not as bad as the Birds. Keep your head up, you got a nice TE in the draft.
i was going more for NEVER than time I guess.
Yeah, I'm pumped about our first pick !!

During WWII, because a lot of players were called to duty, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles combined to become The Steagles.
Q: How many Eagles does it take to win a Superbowl? A: The world may never know
Q: How do you keep an Eagle out of your back yard? A: Put up a goal post
Q: What is the difference between a dollar and the Eagles? A: You can at least get 4 quarters out of a dollar
Q: What do tele-evangelists and the Eagles have in common? A: They can both get people watching at home to stand up and shout "JESUS CHRIST!"
Q: What do you call an Eagle with a Superbowl ring? A: Thief
Q: Why doesn't Allentown get an NFL team? A: Because then Philly would want one too
That sounds like a safe bet
This thread will be a gazillion pages long by the time Philly hoists a Lombardi trophy. The funny thing is that every year Eagles fan talk smack and think that THIS year is their year. Too funny...
Let me get this straight. I am NOT an Eagles fan. I am a Cowboys fan who is offering up some payback for a thread started last year pertaining to the Cowboys playoff drought.
Don't ever insult my intelligence by suggesting that I like the Birds. JK
Wow, I was just reading some things...
At least your Eagles let you root into the post season!!
Eagles (last 42 years) Playoff appearances: 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009 (18)
Bengals (42 years) Playoff appearances: 1970, 1973, 1975, 1981, 1982, 1988, 1990, 2005, 2009 (9)
With McNabb (who is mostly responsible for those 2000's appearances) gone in Philly, the Bengals will start to catch up.
Playoff appearances (28)
1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009
It's awful quiet over in that Eagles thread...
hopefully
btw, the eagles have sucked since joe walsh started using heroin.

How about I add my biggest disappointments in the Eagles over the past - oh - 25 years...
1- 2002 - biggest choke ever against TAMPA BAY in last game at the Vet (Blaine Bishop is still chasing Joe Jurevicius in vain)
2- 1991 - best defense of the 90s, but a grotesque list of QB's after Randall's knee is blown out in 2nd quarter of first game (at least we have the House of Pain game in the Astrodome to look back on)
3- 1992 - Jerome kills himself in car accident in offseason, then Eagles can't stop Emmitt Smith in Dallas
4- 2004 - stupid turnovers in first half let Patriots stay close, take over Super Bowl in 3rd quarter
5- 2008 - Birds somehow win two playoff games on the road, and have a gift matchup with Cardinals in Champ. Game - and Chunky Chokeman #5 blows it again with an atrocius first half. Dramatic comeback falls short in the end. Yeah, the Redskins are gonna be better this year, but they will be disappointed in the end, just as we always have been.

I agree. They will have their fun until the big game pressure hits, then they will be disappointed.
