    QUESTION, will Philly fans be on their best behavior? Talk around Boston recalls ugly stuff down in Jacksonville years ago?!? hearing that full cans/bottles tossed at Minn. fans not a good start.

    It is nice to see that there is still one fanbase that behaves worse than Bills fans!

    No way would I go to a NFL game, people are crazy and get carried away, maybe if they sold weed instead of beer at the games people would mellow out.:p

    I am a Vikings fan (Iowa close to Minn.) but congrats to the Eagles and good luck in the super bowl.

    Seriously though, I would pull for Minnesota if w
    Well, I obviously can't speak for my fellow fans and I obviously had nothing to do with the aforementioned incident. That said, we have no real rivalry with Minnesota. We just wanted to win the game. Prior to the game a good sized group of Vikings fans thought it was a good idea to do the skoal chant on our art museum steps and then put Vikings gear on the Rocky statue, and post it on social media...not vandalism per se but, both of these things are sacrosanct to us. They might've thought it was playful. They should've checked. So, whether anything would've happened without this variable, I don't know. It sure doesn't help. Also, no one reports about however many Eagles fans might've been just generally cool.

    ALL THAT SAID, look, I love New England, went to college in Maine, blah, blah, blah. Most Phillies fans I know like the Sox, esp. when they're playing the yankees. Everyone is tired of the Patriots winning AND, we'll have a sore spot for the last time when cheating was reported (I think filming practices...THAT time). So, I would say assume the worst and hope for the best. Don't judge the whole by a few. There's probably going to be some payback for the art museum steps thing, which doesn't involve you. I would expect collective taunting and ball busting but not individually. However, if Brady gets knocked out or something, you should expect cheering. Not saying it's right.

    What ever happened to just going to the game and routing for your favorite team?

    I saw an eagle eating on a deer carcass yesterday. Pretty cool, really.

    Why are you guys talking about football? :tears:

    Since my team isn't in this game, I'll root for a team I don't hate.

    Go Eagles!

    I really wanted an Eagles/ Jaguars Superbowl.

    It's been a long time since I've been to a game. I've been a lifelong Eagles fan but couldn't maintain interest for a whole game for a while now, probably to do with anxiety and depression from my divorce al the way back in 2005. Anyway, Carson Wentz and the D has renewed my interest this year. Thank God. I'd love to go to a game here and there but it's expensive and a PITA to get down there and get out. I also don't need any DUIs and public transportation is lacking there. Thing that sucks is my boys (19 and 16) are just starting to enjoy the games too but that means buying 3 tickets. Obviously not cheap.

    For the most part, I just go root for the home team. Unless you're a dallas fan at an Eagles game, than all bets are off. ;)

    not your typical? Eagle fan, I'm sure . This guy lost his game ticket, later puts on a great show? I am sure alcohol was not involved? Also a very lucky person to avoid the THIRD RAIL??
