In a perfect world, Dan Snyder gets penalized heavy AF and still gets to keep running The Commanders' personnel decisions on the field.

He's a trainwreck and almost perennially keeps them from contending for the NFC East crown, which I enjoy as an Eagles fan.

Keep in mind that trainwreck of a franchise has just as many division crowns as the Eagles do since 2015.

We must not throw stones at glass houses.

I think stopping at 2015 is manipulating the conversation a bit, but regardless - I'm still comfy calling them a dumpster fire organization who is almost a non-threat on a perennial basis.

I can go with the they've won an NFC East crown more recently than the Eagles if we want to go that direction too.

They are a dumpster fire organization but the Eagles probably are too... just not to the same extent.

I don't want to dive into winning percentages or whose been at the bottom right now since I'm making, what I think, is not exactly a hot-take of an opinion.

I wouldn't trade the Eagles' success in almost any time period since 2000 with the Redskins/Football Team/Commanders' success, is what I'm saying. Not sure any team would in this division (though the Giants have spent a lot of time in the basement as well).

It's not a hot take and it's perfectly reasonable.

This is approaching "at least we're not the Coyotes/Blackhawks" territory with some of our illustrious posters on this site

Howie's figured out that Super Bowls shouldn't be the actual goal. It's consistent relevance in the Philadelphia market that he wants. That keeps him employed.

This sounds like a slam, but it's a compliment.

Not sure if you mean me - but I'll bite if so. I'm really wired at work right now anyway with BANG energy drink.

Eagles have been pretty successful since 2010. Near top 10 winning percentage. WFT is nearly dead last. Even the last 10 years if you prefer, we drop closer to 15th in winning %, but still far cry from WFT/Commanders' in the bottom 5 or so.

That's all I was saying, if you meant me and my content nature with the Birds' performance.

So you're saying that he's a weasel that only cares about self preservation and his ego.

I've known that for years, Jojo.

But do you blame him for it? I don't. Being a knighted NFL GM is probably a great life.
I would blame him for every single thing on Earth if I had the choice which luckily I do have that choice because i'm an adult and I do blame him for everything.

I blame Lurie and the fanbase that defends him for not seeing through his charade.

It could be worse - he could be running around having wide-eyed babies with random women less than half his age.

I don't like Avril Lavigne, but I'm joining with DFF on this because I admire his principled stand.

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you
