Isn't that the point to play the whole year? You guys are in the same position as the Giants are this year. Except the eagles played one more game. You get zero every year and are excited about how many times since 2008 you beat the Giants? Well welcome to real life, and remember the Giants were champs atleast once in the last 3 decades while fat Andy Reid can't get past the playoff jinx.
Yes, Philly has beaten the giants a bunch in the last couple of years, and the last loss was a complete embarrassment. But what about the record that Philly has NEVER won a superbowl?
You guys remind me of Jets fans. Straight up delusional.

First, I'm not "congratulating myself" for how many times the Eagles have beaten the Giants. The question was asked, I answered. It was asked to prove a point to those laughing at the Eagles early exit from the playoffs that since the Giants last Superbowl win, the Eagles have been the better team. Significant enough to use as something to shut people up, but, I agree, winning the Superbowl is the only thing acceptable. But I'm also not going to trash my team because they haven't won a Superbowl. If being loyal makes me "delusional," then so be it.
Now, on to Superbowls and Championships. If history is what you want to evaluate, then perhaps you should take into consideration Philadelphia's history before the Superbowls began. Especially since the Giants were a part of the same league. The Eagles won three NFL Championships, in 1948, 1949 and 1960. The Giants also won three NFL Championships (technically 4, but the first one was not a championship game, but merely having the best record at the end of the season). So, overall that has the Giants winning 6 Championship Games, Philadelphia winning 3 Championship Games.
Through the history, yes, the Giants have more overall championships. But to claim that the Eagles have never won a championship, or are never a championship caliber team is false.
Personally, I live in the now, so all that history doesn't mean much to me. I care about what my team has done in the past couple of years, what they're doing now, and how they do in the near future.
Edit: Doing multiple things at once, so that took me awhile to post. I intended to post it immediately after the post I quoted. I missed the ensuing pissing battle while typing. Even so, my post applies.
