i wonder if New England had as much of a drought if their fans would also have a bad reputation along similar lines.

the patriots had never won a superbowl and were mostly pitiful from their founding in 1960 until bradys first sb owl in 2001, boston sports fans can obvs be pretty awful but i dont think they quite compete with philly just cause the culture of the city is relatively more reserved, tho compared to the rest of the country north eastern sports fans bos-ny-phil are more similar than they are different, and i know there is some genuinely bad behavior i dont support punching horses but booing santa is pretty funny, and booing kobe who is from there when he won the allstar game mvp was downright heroic

oh i don't mean to imply that all iggles fans are assholes or even that the asshole ratio is necessarily higher in philly. (i like sports, i like being drunk, and i'm large enough to not really fear for my personal safety, but i have no wish to return to the nfl games i've seen in pittsburgh, dc or the meadowlands. and my eagles-fan aunt and uncle are very chill ppl.) i just don't think that other fanbases revel in that reputation quite so much, which is enough to make me generally root against them
nor do i think the racial/ethnic components are unique to philly (see also pittsburgh, chicago, etc.) although i am pretty interested in how nyc-area people divide themselves up between the jets and football giants
all that said, probably rooting for the eagles this time : /

it's strange because you've got bad fanbases who don't show up to games or know any of the names of the players, and then you've got bad fanbases who are drunk shoe-tossing hooligans, and it's really just a straight line from one to the other.
what I'm trying to say is that there are no "good" fanbases, but if anyone comes close it's the Bills, who trolled the Ravens by donating to Andy Dalton's charity and tailgate by bodyslamming each other though tables
― frogbs, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 18:05 (six years ago) link
at least you're not the Miami Dolphins fanbase. we hate each other.
I went to the Jets game earlier this year and there was a fight in the upper deck and the dude behind me said "man, must be a Dolphins fan totally wailing on a Jet fan". I said "no, it's probably two Dolphins fans pounding on each other"....they get pulled apart, yep, it's two of our own going at it.

Maybe the deal they have with the NFL is that if they spot their opponents a couple scores in the first half, they get a big PI call in the second half.

my too-early super bowl thots:
with philly’s very strong d front and mediocre secondary, the obvious route to victory for the patriots is to throw the ball 60 times and gas the rush so brady can pick the coverage apart in the 4th quarter, a very belichick gameplan. however, one complicating factor is depth, with the eagles having a strong rotation of 7 guys on their line. i can easily imagine schwartz featuring his best guys in the first quarter and the fourth and denying new england the chance to get an early lead or rely on late heroics again. another complicating factor is that the pats won’t have the ball enough if the eagles offense stays on the field. their o line has also been winning its match ups, and ajani/blount plus rpos plus foles making plays when called on is a recipe for long drives. usually the patriots would just absorb those long drives and keep them out of the endzone (regular season: 32nd in yards per drive – 35.27, 6th in pts per drive – 1.65) but letting philadelphia keep their d guys fresh could be game breaking.
if the eagles play their best game and all of the pieces work, it will look pretty bleak for the patriots. in fact, it will probably look just like that first giants super bowl, with brady getting beaten up and new england held in the teens and losing. BUT the elements are so interdependent that if one part breaks up the whole machine might not work. if the running game doesn’t fire then new england gets the ball too much. if foles reverts to regular season form then the eagles will struggle to score. if the pass rush doesn’t make brady uncomfortable the pats will score too much. and there are other factors that make the margin so small for the eagles. new england has a special teams edge that means their drives will likely be shorter overall and the eagles’ longer, and philly’s rookie kicker could become a wildcard. philly’s defense stops big plays on the outside but they are bottom half of the league vs both TEs and wr3s which is p significant vs gronk and dola.
overall, while i do believe if both teams play their best game philadelphia is favoured in the match up, i think there are more scenarios where the patriots win.
