Whatever helps your argument.

If it's any consolation I passed out in my recliner watching the 1st half. I MUST be a bandwagon!!!

There's a difference between being a bandwagon and being stupid. To actually invest my time and emotion in this team at this point would do nothing but piss me off. I like having some sanity. If you actually root for this team the same you would if they were a contender, then that's idiotic. Going into this season I felt great about this team - I was sorely mistaken.

so saying if they win the next 3 in a row (which i dont think they will but if they do) and get back into contention for a playoff spot you will then re-invest your time into cheering for them again? again see previous link number 5 - saying you will only cheer when they are winning is clearly a bandwagon fan. i can't spell it out any more clearly - you even admit to it without actually calling yourself a bandwagon fan. i am dumbfounded by you saying you will only watch if they win yet argue against being labeled a bandwagon fan.

See end of Rich Kotite and Ray Rhodes era. Sadly the end of the Andy Reid era is heading that way and we have two more years of it because Lurie will not let a coach go before his contract is up - see Ray Rhodes.

THANK YOU.

Who reads and follows some schlep's attempt at a "guide" of what a bandwagon fan is anyway?

Dude, you really are ridiculous on this topic. Of course I'm watching the games, but I'm not going to get pissed and cheer either way like a psycho when I have more knowledge than that when it comes to the game.

This dude doesn't even know me and he's calling me a bandwagon fan. Yet, I've traveled acoss this country over 5 times to see this team play. I can say and do whatever I want, especially when I've invested thousands of dollars in this team.

ok i think we are getting each other confused - the person I called a bandwagon fan was the guy (i think it was Petrocs) who said he wouldn't watch any more games until Reid and McNabb are gone. I never intended to call anyone a bandwagon fan other than the person who said that.

Either way - I think you're off-base on the topic. As he made the statement in frustration and how he feels that this team is raping us all. There's nothing wrong with that.

oh christ dude come off it..the only bandwagon fans out there are Cowboys, Yankees, and Red Sox fans and you know it..as for your assessment and your "guide" to bandwagon fans I say this..What I said was I am not watching this team break my heart again this year...I am on too much of a high from the Phillies that I will NOT have the "gold standard" remind me that my first love (the Eagles) are a mediocre / below average team that was "supposedly" a Super Bowl contender according to this organization. They lied...AGAIN. The coach is a moron and the QB has seen better days. Its time to move on. Dude I sat through the 3-13 season and went to EVERY FUCKING GAME..i will not have my allegiance questioned by you and or anyone else. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars rooting for this team. I am fed up watching subpar effort.

Luckily my friends and I making up rules for a drinking game to keep the Eagles games fun to watch over the next few years of this. Have a drink for every badly over/under thrown pass, have a drink for every play call that makes no logical sense, drink a shot for every wasted time out or bad challenge, etc. If the Eagles are inept, it shouldn't take away from my enjoyment.

You guys must be blotto before halftime on a regular basis.

my final comment - not watching because they are losing equals bandwagon fan whicih you admit you are going to do - regardless of previous commitment you are freely admitting you are quitting on the team. see you in 7 or 8 years when they are good again.

and you can keep sitting there Sunday after Sunday watching the same effort from the same coach and the same QB who havent been able to get it done for you in 10 years..funny how you think for some reason I wont come back if Kolb and some other coach come in next year or in 2 years and stink up the joint for 5 years...I'll still be right there in section 203 watching each game pal..win or lose I bleed green...I'm just done with the Reid and McNabb era...like I stated...but you seem to have overlooked that statement to what YOU interpreted as. My frustration runs with the coach, QB and head office..not the name symbol on the jersey

The Juggler

this is quite possibly the dumbest argument i have read on here. the only bandwagon fans in the philadelphia area are cowboys fans. as fans, we deserve better than that slop we saw yesterday. we deserve better than a coach who runs the ball 22 times in 5 QUARTERS OF FOOTBALL AGAINST A 1-8 TEAM. we deserve better than a quarterback who has been in the leage a full decade NOT KNOWING HOW OVERTIME WORKS (and then him thinking a game could end in a tie in the playoffs??? is he retarded or making an alltime worst attempt at a joke? i honestly dont know). we deserve better than 1-11-1 in games decided by 6 points or less.

this team is garbage. there is a cancer on this team and his name is andy reid. this cancer has officially spread through the whole team. you can see it by how they play and their comments afterwards. this team reminds me of the last couple of kotite years. a good team gone bad. and everyone knows its because the coach has lost control and doesnt know how to right the ship. when the team loses respect for its coach---game set match.

but back to the bandwagon comment---i dont agree with people saying they wont watch the team till reid and mcnabb are gone. but that does not make them a bandwagon fan. that is their way of protesting the team. if they were bandwagoners they would find another team to root for and i dont htink that is the case. hell i am now trying to unload my browns and cowboys tickets (but still watching the game at home). does that make me a bandwagon fan? i have been a season ticket holder for 7 years and intend to be one for the rest of my life but i refuse to subject myself to this slop that the gold standard passes off as football.

sooooo.....if you're interested in going to the browns or cowboys game, pm me!

GO PHILS!

The Juggler

in other news one of my friends who is irish (and whose name is incidentally ryan fitzpatrick!--the one enjoyable part of the game yesterday was hearing the announcers talk about how much ryan fitzpatrick sucks whilst sitting next to one, ryan fitzpatrick. that was pretty damn funny.) has offically taken the "Mc" out of Donovan's last name. we decided to just call him dononvan nabb

---

NAY-we later took the "ovan" out of his first name. so the eagles quarterback is officially known as "DON NABB" to me and my friends now..

I will not watch another game until Reid is fired and McNabb is somewhere else

I love how this little comment has caused so much controversy. Now that being said I'm sure come sunday when the game is about to start I'll put my McNabb jersey on and sit in front of the TV and watch...but that still doesnt mean its not time to get rid of Reid, McNabb and Banner.

damn so you didn't really mean what you said to start with? so we could have avoided 3 pages of calling each other out? you're killing me Petrocs. and I understand your frustration with this franchise, I just don't understand the sentiment of the original comment. but whatever, what's done is done.
