OT - Pats vs Eagles Who Do You Root For?

Lol I really don’t.i used to and I know my NFL history. I watched maybe 3 regular season games tops. But I watch the post season because the CFB postseason is incredibly anticlimactic.
Nah. Giants beat NE twice. I’m secure enough to root for them. Would be pretty sweet if the only 2 major blemishes on Brady/Belichek dynasty were SB losses to Big Blue.
Eagles fans...who would you root for if Cowboys were playing NE?
The Pats defense is clearly vulnerable. The Eagles OL is underrated and will control the LOS. As long as Foles doesn’t have a bad game and their are no big plays on specials that go the Pats way, the Eagles will win.
28-17 Birds.
You seem to be a little younger and missed out on the last Cowboys dynasty so I will take your word for it.
I think Philly vs NE is guaranteed to be a good game. The last meeting in the SB was. I honestly think this one can go either way.
I’ll always root against the cowboys, however, if it were the giants vs the patriots, I would root for the giants. After going to school at Rutgers, my dislike for New York teams went down, which is partly why I think it’s so funny how much hate the eagles fans get on this board, saying how we’re all scumbags, since there are a lot of Rutgers fans who are also Eagle fans
You are right. I know a lot of Eagles fans from college and otherwise and they aren't scumbag fans at all. And a part of me wants to see them win because I know how much it means to their fanbase. I guess the two teams I will ALWAYS root against are the Cowboys for obvious reasons and the 49ers because of the NY vs. SF rivalry when I was a kid and their obnoxious fair weather fans. I can't say that about the Eagles who have as loyal and passionate fanbase as any team in sports. Selfishly I want the Pats to win so the NYG would be the only team to have defeated the Belichek/Brady dynasty in the big game but I wouldn't mind if the Eagles won either.
Don't let them bully you, just admit it that you are rooting for the Pats.
Ha, not being bullied. Anyone who follows the NFL closely and long enough knows their fanbase can get out of control beyond reasonable measures. Why some of their fans just won't admit that is curious to me but whatever. Usually the Eagles have players I hate who are easy to root against (Andre Waters, Seth Joyner, Brian Dawkins,Terrell Owens, Desean Jackson) but this team doesn't have any such players so I'm really ambivalent about the game. I just think it would make the Giants 2 wins vs. the Pats look better if Bill and Tom go 6-2 in the SB with their two losses against Eli and the Giants. But if it doesn't turn out that way I'll live lol.
is this 3d....does the beak actually stick outMight need to get this one for the SB.
Hey cool, I have one too! I have never ever run into another person wearing one.
POSITIVELY NE. They are OUR guys Forever. If the Eagles had RU guys I would be in Neutral mode and just watch the game.
Tough one for me. Usually root for Rutgers-North, as I have no strong rooting interest in the NFL (only care deeply about RU), but I did grow up rooting for the Eagles, so I wouldn't mind seeing them win either. Will just enjoy the game no matter who wins. Think it's going to be close.
As a Jets fan it's easy. My second favorite team is whoever is playing the Patriots.
I've bought a few other shirts from them. They make really nice shirts and mine are three or four years old- they have held up well with pretty regular wear.Might need to get this one for the SB.
I understand Jets fans hating NE, since the Pats have been beating them like a drum for forever, but have no idea why Giants fans would hate the Patriots, having beaten them twice in the Super Bowl. I would think all Giants fans would root for NE over the hated Eagles.
Pats easily. Rutgers players and a coach that promotes Rutgers football whenever he can toss it in there.
The Pats. I admire excellence.
For whatever reason, when I was pretty young, my dad would frequently repeat the joke: "first prize in a contest is a week in Philly, second prize is two weeks". I have always enjoyed my visits to Philly and like the area and the people just fine, so I never really understood his criticism.
But I suppose that, sub-consciously at least, it's tough to be exposed to that kind of early-childhood indoctrination and get it entirely out of one's system. :)
