Have you ever been to one?

I googled 'eagles forum' and the first thread on the first forum started with a bunch of people crying about the refs and Taylor Swift.

There's another thread crying about disrespect like the Eagles play in some kind of damn midwest inferiority city.

Can you recommend a forum that isn't just uncontrollable sobbing?

Mopped is an exaggeration, but I hear you.

I said “fragile and arrogant”. What you are listing would be more “whining and stupid”.

Arrogant – because the vast majority of fans here cannot conceive that the Chiefs could possibly lose.… And they post accordingly.
Fragile – the first time I brought up anything statistical that challenged their this will be a blowout narrative… I was viciously attacked.

I watched the entirety of DeJean's college career. Good kid, smart player. He's not going to shut down Travis Kelce by himself. Good luck with that.

What blowout narrative? That's coming from Eagles fans dumbass.

Best way to neutralize him and any team for that matter that relies on the run is to jump out to a two score lead. Make them change their game plan.

We are neither fragile nor arrogant. We are just hardened against people like you coming to our forums. You've got a couple more days before you disappear forever.

[Dunerdr]

2 days and 10 hours until we never hear from Big Al again.

How weird that fans of a team that has literally lost ONE game it has actually tried to win in the past 15 months, coming off back-to-back Super Bowl wins, with the best QB on the planet, and an elite coaching staff ... would be confident in their team.

The Chiefs CAN lose. Sure. It is possible. The Eagles are good and present some challenges.

But the next team that beats the Chiefs in the playoffs by "running the ball" and "forcing turnovers" will be the first one to do it in the Mahomes era.

Fans here have heard, time and again, over the past half decade-plus from opposing fans like you, who cite regular season stats and DVOA and point differential, and their ability to dominate with the run and control the clock and be more efficient with their drives than the Chiefs. And who don't want to listen to anything but "oh gosh, you're right, the Chiefs ARE DOOMED and will have to get lucky!"

Want to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs? Your offense better be able to go blow-for-blow. That's the real way to do it.

This board is not predicting a blowout at all. We know this team. It's going to be a close game. And that heavily favors the Chiefs. It just does.

Vast majority can't conceive a loss? Sounds like made-up bullshit from a fragile poster.

Meanwhile, almost every Eagle fan prediction I've seen is a comfortable win vs a team that's healthy for the first time all year and won 23 of their last 24. What could be more arrogant than that?

The only way I see this being a two-score game is if that happens.

Genuinely curious how often they go for it on 4th down as KC has a tendency to make teams do that.
