That survey is interesting

I thought the Eagles would be one of the most hated teams after their “spending spree” this offseason. Not THE most hated; that’s obviously the Cowboys. But one of them.

I hope you guys come back and win the NFCE.

I think that would be one of the greatest things ever. I hate the Cowboys and Giants, along with their fans, and to see you guys left for dead, after being hated for the “Dream Team” talk, to come back and win it would shut all of them up.

Heres to the Jets over Giants / Eagles over Cowboys, followed by Eagles over Skins and Giants over Cowboys!!

Come on Buffalo, please?

Surprising that the Redskins got 7%. I don’t even hate the Redskins. It must have been their fans voting for their own team.

Not surprising at all. The Redskins are like the “good guys” of the NFL, and they have a huge carryover fan base from their glory days. And of course, they are my second favorite team (given my location).

7% of the pollsters said the skins were their least favorite team, not the other way around.

Uh… yes. Reading comprehension ftw. Yeah, that is a bit confounding then… I guess some of those 11% of Cowboys lovers? For the same historical reasons?

Perhaps.

Cowboy fans will be around forever

They may have a 10 year down period,or a 15,but they will always be the most popular and hated team
Eagles very popular too, but no one says they are having a down period because they havent won a superbowl recently.

There’s a pretty significant population who find the Redskins to have among hte most racist team names and logos. That probably has something to do with it.

Let the beasting begin.

I’m more and more impressed with Jeremy Maclin with every post he writes. I’m glad we have a guy like him in our locker room.

coleman allen and matthews

Good for them. They did get buried early and have turned it up. Call them busts or weak for being upset, but lets be real for a second. At the end of the day these guys are 23 and 22 yr old men and are still figuring this game out.
