patience as an excuse

everything im hearing with sixers is patience, we have sucking for 4 years, how is that patience? the eagles are the next team to become a joke and im hearing patience with them too, i mean it's like what does patience have to do with competing? i mean either you want to win and you want to lose, there's no excuses to be a bad team, when you are bad team, you fix it, you dont sit on it and expect it the players to just feel like winning after 5 years.

philadelphia organzations are such a joke and the reason why they will never a championship because everything is an excuse to not fix what's broken.

there's no accountability with these droughts.

I agree with your point on the Sixers. Hard to be fed the "patience message" when that's been the constant message for 4 years easily.

As far as the Eagles, even the most ardent fan has to admit that what Chip did to the team won't get fixed this year or next. He made a mess of the personnel. Howie has his hands full fixing that. The bigger question there... is Howie the one to fix it?

It would be very difficult to be a Philadelphia sports fan right now. So much garbage for so many years.

I don't really know how to answer your question, and this isn't even football related, but I will say that I strongly feel Ben Simmons is the answer to all of the Sixers woes. He's going to change that franchise.

i feel like its going to take more than simmons to change this franchise, i feel like bc has to make a sacrifice to get a franchise in the prime player just like celtics did it, it's the only thing that will change this team to the contender.

when it comes to eagles, howie really put himself in a bad spot with this team. he threw so much money on players that didnt need to be on this team that we cant improve this team.

the money howie should have spent on was game changing core players not depth players. depth players should have been from draft, spend the money on game changing players.

You can always adopt other teams or just stop following the sport. :wink:

I would agree with the term "patience" as a cop out for the most part. If you don't believe a team or teams you follow are truly devoted to competing, why continue to follow them? I've been pretty fortunate as far as the Seahawks are concerned. But, the Mariners have mostly been an irrelevant franchise. I became a fan when my dad started taking me to games at the Kingdom in the early 90's. Ken Griffey Jr. was my idol. Some great teams, but as a whole the club has mainly underachieved & been poorly run.

As a die hard Cowboy fan for 46 years, I absolutely have no sympathy for the Eagles. I hope they have many more years like this year.
