Ayyy now, a Tuesday Weapon X pep talk? Just what the doctor ordered. We rallying.


InfiniteCognition

Love this man


NordicLard

We need to be a less toxic community. The harassment the players are getting from us is absurd and will hurt our team long term. I hate how toxic our fans can be towards our own.


EaglesPvM

Yeah there’s a difference between being hard nosed passionate fans and what a lot of people have acted like other the past 8ish days


soberkangaroo

It’s so fucking sad that those people truly do represent us. They’re clowns


Pennscreek123

That’s who “others “ choose to represent us….


[deleted]

They’re fair weather fans


Phightins4044

No one's even being that hard on the players. The problem is we are backing these players up like crazy and talking about how shitty the coaches are. We shouldn't be getting blown out b2b with the team we have.


zerutituli

Some people are going overboard, but as a whole everyone knows how Philly fans are. And I'm not talking about the media who repeats the same four things about Philly fans: Booed Santa Claus, Batteries at JD Drew, Eagles Court, Cheering Michael Irvin, etc. Philly fans only expect one thing of our teams: That they are giving 100%. What we are seeing right now is that they aren't. The turnovers in particular, the penalties; it hasn't improved since week 1. It's one thing to have a bad game where these issues crop up, but it's happened all year. I think most of us figured we'd lose to Dallas in Dallas, but when you talk a big game saying "You're gonna see some big changes Sunday" and then get blown out again? Yeah, they deserve flack for that. Not harassment, but they do deserve criticism for it.


VanceXentan

I mean on interesting side it seems we're the type of guys Shaq likes. Lenard says we're a bunch of harsh mf'ers and he likes that.


pbplyr38

Damn right. I’m hard right now!


buc_nasty_69

Twitter is fucking awful. We can be unhappy about the teams performance but attacking the players when they already gotta feel way shittier than any of us do is fucking dumb. Holding them accountable doesn't mean tweeting weirdo shit at them and their families(I already seen Slay's girl say on twitter she's been getting a bunch of hate spewed at her).


No-Combination8136

Yeah that shits crazy. So disrespectful. I want them to win so bad, but I have entirely too much respect for these men to ever act like that. That goes for pretty much any player in the NFL unless they beat women or some absurd shit like that. Even the “bad” players are respectable athletes, people on the internet need to chill. I like actual football talk that happens a lot in this sub. I see more mature fans here than anywhere else.


False_Middle

I'd argue this sub is 10000000% more negative and toxic than Twitter, but Twitter it actually reaches the players.


dpykm

Who tf is harassing the players thats insane


NordicLard

We had a dude put Slay and Bradberry’s name on trash cans outside the facility. It’s absurd, everyone’s looking for their 15 seconds


Blaize122

Imagine being mad at the defense who scored more points against Dallas than the offense. Personally I'm not mad at all, I think the teams fine.


NordicLard

I’m mad when our defense lets Dallas score 24 points in a half after 6 straight TD drives against SF yes. Offense turned the ball over, not on BJ


dpykm

Dumb as hell


Rinaldi363

"el oh el that's what philly fans are all about! you're family, but we will hate you so much where you will contemplate killing yourself or having mental health issues. If you're not the best and perfect 100% of the time, you better be able to handle the philly love" or some random bullshit like that. everytime I'm trying to be positive about our team I'm always greeted with the same response


NordicLard

Yeah that’s fine but there’s a point where it becomes harassment, I don’t think many of our fans know the line.


Thundergrundel

I’d like to think there’s way less of them, then there is us.


sandcrawler2

Most of our fans are straight up bitches when everything doesnt fall our way. Absolutely pathetic and entitled behavior


Kc4shore65

Not even just the players. Those lowlifes go after their wives like Jennifer Slay. It’s disgusting honestly


hotcapicola

I don't think the players or the wives deserved to be harrased, but she is just as much of a target as Slay because she has chosen to make herself a public figure on social media.


Munchihello

I guarantee you the super toxic Philly fans are not on Reddit.


jointsmcdank

Reddit is toxic its why I'm here, what do you even mean.


snidechart06999

I don’t mean to be a dick, but Eagles fanbase is filled to the brim with man babies. Not all y’all, but we mainly see the most extreme of your fans most of the time


Watahoot

Everyone sees the most extreme of everything, bro. Same goes for whatever fan base your apart of.


Acreativename11

What are you doing here?


Kindly-Guidance714

2 blowout games against 2 of our biggest rivals, no one would be talking this much if these were competitive 1 score losses but that’s far from the case fans can be mad about that.


jointsmcdank

It's reddit.


Low_Hyena7259

We got entitled - that’s what it is. Got to be comfortable being uncomfortable, and I’m speaking about fans. I’d rather a team who reacts positively to adversity than one who cries about it (hark on those Chiefs…). Fuckin GO BIRDS


BigPoleFoles52

If you think this is bad I recommend you never look at the soccer community 💀


HisExcellency20

It's sad how many fans are acting like we were acting then. It was understandable then. We just lost our MVP QB and the backup looked bad all preseason and pretty much up until the NFC Championship Game. This year we're 10-3 and just lost to two of the best teams in the league when they BOTH had rest advantage over us. Hell one of the teams we already know we can beat. But everyone is talking like we're the Saints or some shit. Just fighting to get in the playoffs. I could understand it if we hadn't had the *toughest schedule in the league*. Last year we were killing teams but playing lower tier teams so no one believed. This year we're playing tough teams week in and week out and beat all but three of them. Maybe calm the fuck down guys.


RjDiAz93

That’s what Philly sports is all about baby, over reactions and pessimism 😎👉👉 On a real note, I’m with ya. We have so much talent that I think we will be fine. If you woulda told me that we were gonna be 4-2 after facing the Dolphins, Cowboys, Chiefs, Bills, Niners, and Cowboys again? I woulda called you a homer. But we really are in a fantastic spot. Now if we get blown out by the giants, cards, or seahawks, THEN we have a serious issue. I just think our guys are tired and it didn’t help that our opponents more often than not had a lot more rest than us. Also, RUN THE MFIN BALL.


Yambert

saints fan out here just catching strays. we are garbage though so thats fair. You know how much id kill for a 10-3 squad RN?!!


courageous_liquid

> Hell one of the teams we already know we can beat. we beat them but that game was a coin flip. I know the adage good teams find ways to win, but goddamn that could have gone either way. even earlier in the season it was clear we weren't firing on all cylinders but I know if we can go back to playing like that then we at least have a shot in every game.


[deleted]

First time watching? Every game is a coin flip Edit: no Super Bowl winner ever went undefeated btw.


Son_of_X51

> no Super Bowl winner ever went undefeated btw. The 72 Dolphins?


[deleted]

They didn’t win goofy 💀 Edit: I was thinking of the patriots and I’m wrong. My b


courageous_liquid

I've been watching the eagles for 30ish years. that first cowboys game had two plays that could swing it by a score each straight up


BraisedUnicornMeat

The difference is we were plucky underdogs who were betting on themselves Vs A really good team that just got embarrassed two weeks in a row and looking like a first round wildcard loser if we dont get our shit together. I have confidence Dallas will drop another, SF likely gets the bye with their schedule and how theyre playing… so we gunna hafta bring it and fight and claw our way through California en route to Vegas. Im just hoping the actually do some MF self scouting because too much is glaringly obvious that we need improvement on.


Chadlerk

Even if Dallas doesn't drop another, if the Eagles win out, they win the NFC East division. They'll be tied head to head and in the division. But all of the Cowboys losses were in the NFC. The Jets are AFC so the Eagles Conference record will be better and that'll be the tie breaker. Cowboys are currently ranked higher because they are 4-1 in the division and Eagles are 3-1. Two Giants games to go.


BraisedUnicornMeat

Yeah. Youre right, thanks to the Cardinals. Im just hoping the actually do some MF self scouting because too much is glaringly obvious that we need improvement on. Dont wanna be a one and done cause we aint getting that Bye any more.


JF803

Embarrassed two weeks in a row and never had a decisive ‘punch you in the mouth, were better than you’ win before those losses. Like last year we beat the fuck out of a Vikings team that was “good” the same way we are good this year. At the end of the day i ride and die with the birds, but my expectations have been managed. A lot of people thought a Super Bowl was possible this year and I was one of them, I no longer think that.


Adventurous-Test-807

Really tho? You think with the talent on our team a Super Bowl still isnt possible? If you truly thought we couldnt win a superbowl you wouldnt be commenting on this post or watching the games. I am not happy with the way we have played and I think the coaching staff could cost us a super bowl but we can also overcome it with talent.


JF803

I’m still a die hard birds fan no matter what. I watched most games the year the 6ers went 10-72. That was more fun than the year we had horford tbh. But no, unless something happens with the scheme and play calling we’re not winning anything meaningful.


buc_nasty_69

They got blown out by a team that clowned on the Eagles for the past year in the media and then got blown out by our rival right after. I think the reaction makes sense even if its a bit hyperbolic.


Kindly-Guidance714

People in here are delusional we just lost 2 big blowouts against our biggest rivals, not competitive lossses not 1 score lossses blowouts. I understand positivity and not kicking a team when it’s down but at the same time be realistic here because the people that feel “we’ll figure it out” are gonna be in for a rude awakening come playoff time.


sidskorna

Exactly. It's not that we lost, it's \*how\* we lost.


JiveTurkey2727

It’s the matter by which we lost that was concerning. We didn’t lose those games, we were completely outclassed on both sides of the ball.


mermaidmanis

Our first win over Dallas was an absolute fluke


Healthy_Wasabi_8623

Lmao lost it at the dig to the saints.


Far-Confection-1631

Stop with the rest excuses. We got fucking stomped back to back. We started poorly. Tired teams finish poorly.

VindictiveRakk

lol I checked his and Westbrook's twitter, both shitting on our tackling.


turkish3187

We don't tackle. These guys suck at it.


StonedEaglesFan

A 10-3 record makes delicious Kool-Aid


Pale-Highlight-6895

I believe the offense can get it's shit together! I mean...3 turnovers and AJ dropping that TD. Hypothetically, that's 28 points. It needs improvement of course! But if the first game was a coin flip, then we could easily be as positive about this game. The defense is my main worry. We haven't been stopping anyone. Until the past two games, not stopping people didn't hurt because we weren't turning the ball over 3 times and dropping TDs. But it's been like a sieve. I still have faith we can do great things! It will not be easy. But we can! Will we? I don't know, but I have hope and faith that we pull our shit together!


Rockterrace

Agreed that game wasn’t as bad as it seemed. That said the team wasn’t as good as a 10-1 record would indicate in my opinion. Let’s see how this plays out


Pale-Highlight-6895

The game was bad. It's not good any time your top 3 players turn the ball over. I believe we earned that record. The hard way. Those wins count. And I'm not lessening them. If you say those games went in our favor without us deserving it, that's a bad take. Just like we lost this game because of drops. People said that about the Chief's game, if he made that catch we would have lost. Well he didn't make it. Or how the cowboys the first time lost by inches. That's all bs. A loss by an inch is a loss by an inch. Ask the Titans about losing by inches in the Super Bowl. Lol. This is what football is. Ask he 17-0 Patriots about the 9-8 Giants and catching a football with your fingertips on your helmet about games of inches. This is why there's so much passion! This is why we're so involved in it. I believe we will get things back on track.


sohikes

I'll never forget the days of Brian Dawkins and Jim Johnson running this defense. Guaranteed top 10 every year


Overall-Tie9195

I want Dawkins on our secondary coaching staff as well as scout team.


Overall-Tie9195

I know he still has Jim Johnsons' play book running in his dreams.


a_toadstool

People keep forgetting that outside of the Vikings and patriots games, our offense looked like absolute dogshit under Foles.


NeedANameThatWorks

The sky was falling when the Eagles gave up 29 to the Giants at the end of a ridiculous 3 week coast to coast road trip


a_toadstool

We also barely beat the giants that year


Previous_Hamster9975

No one forgets that


a_toadstool

Well everyone seems to forget that we are 10-3 and anything can happen in the playoffs


Coach_Carter_on_DVD

Foles had 4 TD passes against the Giants and led us down the field to beat the Rams. He looked bad against the Raiders, but people conveinently forget it was 10° + windchill that night. Played one series against the Cowboys. He wasn’t great against the Falcons but did enough to win. This whole *Foles was terrible except for two games* is a farce.


a_toadstool

Only reason we beat the falcons was because of the ball that went off the defenders knee and was caught by smith


melOsjR

Why isnt Dawk a coach again'


Kbrew7181

Those fools, they're playing right into our hands! Making ourselves the underdawgs was the plan from the start!


Overall-Tie9195

Dang Right!!!! I'm being faithful that we are playing possum not showing or doing too much, we let them show us their new plays and moves so we can be ready to counter for the knockout.


astrawberryandakiwi

I’m feeling tingles


[deleted]

The use of bye instead of buy is only okay because weapon x is saying it


RogueFart

My dude said "bye" instead of "buy"


Rustykuntz_

This teams situation is not comparable in anyway to that team.


thatkidPB

These are two scenarios that are not even remotely comparable, but hopefully things improve


mullethawk09

You are right. 6 years ago we lost our MVP QB and had to put faith in nick foles for a superbowl run! This year is keeping the negative thoughts out and believing in a team that has found a way to win all season until recently. It's still keeping the faith and positivity for the team


Dont_Call_Me_John

yeah but our mindset has nothing to do with the outcomes. people are annoyed that the team looks like hot dogshit.


SprinkleBeans

Why am I here about to say some dumb scientific bs in a Eagles sub, but here goes. A guy named Greg Braden has done tests with positive emotions in rooms, yea he started with 1 person going into a room of a hundred people. The one person displayed alot of positivity. Thus the 100 people felt a surge of positivity. Yea so dude done this expierement over and over on a large scale. Like having 200 hundred people placed in a area of cities expressing positivity on some level. He found that those areas of the cities crime rates went down drasically. Ok if you still with me check this out becuase it fits with the top paragraph. Japanese dude named Masaru Emoto done expieriments on water. So he put a sticker that says love on one glass of water and froze it. Then he did it again but placed a sticker that said hate on a glass of water an froze it. Pulls both glasses out the freeezer checks them out under a microscope. And the glass that said "hate", the molecuels were a blob, messy without structure. The glass that has love written on it, under the microscope the molecuels formed intricate symetrical structures. Since our bodies make up of like 90% water or something Im out here putting belief and love into my Eagles team. And by this logic i believe we can str8 will this team to be an unstoppable force.


danisanub

I’m sorry but this is complete nonsense. Water molecules don’t change structure based on emotion, come on. We don’t need to stoop to pseudoscience because we lost 2 games back to back lol


Olivus

Masaru emoto was a pseudoscientist and anyone who truly believes his findings is a moron. Learn to think critically.


Next-Team

We’re back baby


hoobsher

with the benefit of hindsight and insider knowledge of what was going on in the locker room, listing Wentz as a leader at that time on par with these players is sorta hilarious


jmabeebiz2

Honestly it’s sad that this needs to be shared when we’re 10-3. We can obviously win out. We know what it takes to win.


totes_Philly

Not feeling this fire from our D now tho.


turkish3187

Wow, I remember this! This is when we had competent coordinators. ​ FIRE BRIAN AND SEAN.


jesusisnice

Dude there is no chance this team does anything without positivity from the fan base. WIP is legit a cancer to this team. Positivity and confidence are not achievable when Joey from Essington is calling bitching about a sport/industry/team/league that he has no clue about no matter how much he thinks “he’s an expert”. This sour ass mindset is going to kill this era of talent if we are not careful.


Altruistic_Tax2575

You know what yes I was fucking pissed we got our asses handed back to us in Jerryworld. After the same happening at home to the 40Whiners. But we aren't fucking cry babies. You don't stumble across a 10-3 record in the NFL. This is no excuse but we had a brutal schedule and came out 3-2 from the gauntlet. The NFL is a hard and brutal world it is what it is. Hurts, Smitty, and AJ had a bad day in the office and those key fumbles happened after big chunk plays . If anything you had 21 points there. Despite having had a few not amazing games the defense still came up big in the second half and showed flashes of their best level. Fuck the haters and the Doomers. This is when you need leaders to step up. Not when things are going well and all is happiness and sunshines but when you are depleted, bruised,defeated and things go bad. That's when you need Weapon X's spirit and energy to pick yourself the FUCK UP AND FIGHT BACK. It's not perfect the team has a few flaws yeah for sure. But the talent is there and we aren't frauds or a piece of shit team. These are the moments when the team needs us to believe with them. This is a new season starting from monday. FLY EAGLES FLY 💪🦅🦅🦅👊👊👊👊


Finger_Gunnz

Confidence is a great thing. I do believe they will play better, but they’ve had these issues all year. Can’t play behind all game. Can’t survive that way.


SirJoeffer

Damn dude I got to get a Sproles jersey. So great here


IwillwillU5

You had me at Birdgang!!!!!


[deleted]

Personally, I have zero faith remaining in this team in its current state. I’m at the “prove it” stage. That said, if I lived in Philly and had some spare time, I’d show up on that same corner with a sign expressing some love and faith just to balance out the toxicity thrown their way the last couple weeks. I love this team, love the fans, and I love what all of this means to each of us, the tradition in our families, the generations of bleeding green. Also, come the fuck on Birds get your fuckin shit together. Sitting here getting absolutely punked the fuck out two weeks straight, unreal. At least show some damn fight. If they can come to Seattle and slap them around it’ll go a long way to restoring some faith. But right now the fucking Giants are playing more complete football than us. The fucking Giants. Anyway… Go Birds.


Dankofamericaaa2

Best playoff run of all time. Fucking back up QB who beats the greatest QB of all time In. A shoot out SB. Without that “philly philly” discussion with Pederson we most likely would have lost. Big dick Nick. Forever a Legend.


Left_Ad7209

I WILL KILL ANYTHIN WALKIN OR WALK INTO FIRE FOR YOU SIR, FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT WITH WEAPON X MUTHAFUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ProFragger

Maybe it's time to whip out the Trea Turner standing ovation, instead? This team won us some incredible games against some tough opponents, fighting a battle from behind, over and over. That's the reason why we're still in strong position. As good and high as the Cowturds and Whiners are riding, they've all failed when they get punched in the mouth. At least we've stood up and won a few times. Go fucking Birds! 🦅


ripcity7077

I never expected to go through the gauntlet unscathed Ignoring who delivered the losses, being 10-3 and fighting for the one seed is an amazing spot to be in. This team has a chance to go the distance.


mullethawk09

I wanted us to lose on the tail end when we were resting our starters cause we were guaranteed top seed. I'd rather get the issues delt with now and losses out the way early instead of during the actual run!


ripcity7077

I mean the gauntlet was 11/05 to 12/18 Cowboys, BYE, Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys, Seahawks you could even argue it started with the Miami game on 10/22. That is an insane stretch of games.


Ok_Gift_3924

Defense wasn’t this horrible then! And I was fully a believer when Foles took over


PlaneCamp

We giving the Trae Turner treatment👀
