I Can Get Behind the Eagles and Seahawks “Bird Brothers” Concept, Though Jadeveon Clowney Can Get Bent
Published:
Saw this on the timeline and it’s pretty accurate:
On one hand, fuck the Seahawks because of Jadeveon Clowney’s hit on Carson Wentz in the 2019 playoffs.
On the other hand, it’s hard to find any other reason to dislike them. They’ve had the Eagles’ number over the years, but there aren’t any big matchups outside of that postseason game. They don’t play in the division. They took out New England in the Super Bowl and they smacked the idiot Niners a couple of times this year.
If you want to get really nitpicky, the Patriots team that the Eagles beat was better than the Patriots team the Seahawks beat. The Birds had to take out Tom Brady and the Seahawks had to beat Drake Maye. I’d also argue that the Chiefs team the Eagles beat was better than the Broncos team the Seahawks beat. Philly had to beat prime Brady and prime Mahomes to win its Super Bowls, and Seattle had to beat 2015 Peyton Manning and sophomore Drake Maye.
Not to mention, the Super Bowls the Eagles lost with Donovan McNabb and Jalen Hurts were against… Brady and Mahomes. So it was a tough path.
But otherwise, solidarity to our avian counterparts in Cascadia.
