Lkr Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Will the fans be bad to McNabb? It isn't like McNabb left as a free agent to a rival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Will the fans be bad to McNabb? It isn't like McNabb left as a free agent to a rival If I wind up going, I know I will be giving him a standing O. It seemed like a 50-50 mix in the time he was here, of fans supporting him and against him, so I suspect it might be a similar crowd reaction.

Flash Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 It'd be pretty sad to see them boo a guy who did so much for their franchise. Hopefully the fans give him a nice ovation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) It'd be pretty sad to see them boo a guy who did so much for their franchise. Hopefully the fans give him a nice ovation. Welcome to my dilemma every time I turned on sports talk radio in the 10 years he was here. Most of the people around here are irrational and stupid.

AboveLegit Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Personally I don't care, and I don't think Donovan does either. There's so much riding on this game, and it's much more than just Donovan getting back at the team he spent his whole career with (up till now). Â This is a must win for the Skins.

fish7718 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Obviously he should be cheered. You can argue he's the franchise's greatest player of all time, or at least the player who's had the biggest impact on the franchise. Obviously Reggie White was better. Anyways they should cheer, no surprise if he gets boo'd though, they'll boo anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 29, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I don't see why they would boo him, really. It's not like he chose to ditch the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) This is a must win for the Skins. A win really puts them in control of the division early on even if it'll make them just 2-2.

Unless of course you lost a game at home, then the win on the road is that much more important. This really is a must win for the Eagles if they want to have a shot at the post season. Sure their 2-1 but they've really had no impressive win so far. I'd say this is a must win for the Eagles faster then I'd say it's a must win for the Skins.

Smitty Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I don't see why they would boo him, really. It's not like he chose to ditch the franchise. A good chunk of Eagles fans have a very ignorant way of thinking, you'd be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really want to win this division (or make the wildcard), we need to take advantage of the games we have a good chance at winning. I don't consider Philly an elite team, however I do consider both the Packers and Colts elite.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he chose to ditch the franchise. A lot of people who attend Eagles games are stupid, obnoxious, and unreasonable. Basically what Smitty said.

Couple that with the fact you play a must easier schedule than Dallas and Philly, I still don't think it's a must win. Not about how you start, it's about how you finish.

A win puts us 2-0 in the division, .500 overall, and is a huge confidence boost to McNabb and the rest of the team going into the rough stretch. A loss, puts us at 1-3 overall, 1-1 in the division, and I don't know if our guys would be ready mentally for the tough three games ahead.

It wouldn't put them in control of anything. They just lost to the freakin Rams. Wow........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Being 2-0 in the division early on is big for any team. Regardless of who they've lost to. That would leave at least two teams 2-2 going into week five. No team would have any type of control of the division if they are 2-2 along with at least one other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 It should be a standing O but it wont be because it is Philly. The ratio will more than likely be around 70-30 boos to applause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 It should be a standing O but it wont be because it is Philly. The ratio will more than likely be around 70-30 boos to applause. I doubt it's that drastic. At every Eagles game I have gone to, the jersey I have seen the most is #5. He was/is very well liked by many. There are plenty of obnoxious and unreasonable fans (the ones I described a few posts up) who will surely boo just for the hell of it. But I'd be surprised if the boos outnumber the cheers. A lot of people who don't live here assume that the vocal minority that disliked McNabb represents every Eagles fan, which isn't true. He was very popular with most Eagles fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at ease with the trade when it happened, but I loved the guy when he was an Eagle and never understood most of the criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 This whole "cheer/boo" thing is really funny. That is all anyone is concerned with, nobody seems to remember that this is kind of a big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
