Eagles fans are doing whatever it takes to turn this season around, including breaking up with their situationship because they’re superstitious:

Shout out to Derrick and shout out to the person who posted it for being so cool with it. They understand that it takes everyone to win a Lombardi. They aren’t going to let a little flirting get in the way of a repeat. They might not be able to fire Kevin Patullo, but they can do the little things it takes. Go Birds.
Also, don’t think I don’t know what Derrick is doing. This is a classic move. The holidays are coming up and you don’t want to spend money on them. I get it. You don’t know what this is. Sure, you’ve been on one date and are talking daily, but is this for real or is this just young love? What do you do when you don’t want to waste money? You break up with the girl and then get back together after Christmas is over. That’s a veteran move. We’ve all done it. Christmas presents? In this economy? That’s beer money or Robux. I can’t tell how old these two are so it’s gotta be one or the other. It’ll happen again a couple months later when Valentine’s Day rolls around.
I love that this generation breaks up over Snapchat now. You used to have to do it on AIM or iMessage, now it just disappears into the ether after you send it like it never happened. No paper trail. Feels so informal that I love it. These kids will never know what it was like to have the anxiety of breaking up with your girl over text or having to take her out of your top-8 on Myspace. Different times. Breaking up must be so easy now. Derrick probably loaded up Tinder and paid for a subscription for unlimited swipes with all the money he saved not having to get a Christmas present. Chess, not checkers people.
So if Derrick can communicate and sacrifice goddammit can the Eagles? Leave your ego at the door. Take future offensive coordinator Nick Foles’ advice:
