There was a time when people thought the Philadelphia Eagles were about to start a brand new dynasty. They won the Super Bowl with a young quarterback. They have a young, charismatic head coach. 2019 has not gone to plan. It got much worse on Sunday, November 18 when they set the record for worst loss by a defending Super Bowl champion. Social media predictably had some reactions to the 48-7 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints.

Drew Brees continues great season with great game

Drew Brees wants to go back to the Super Bowl. He's almost willing the team there. On Sunday, the Saints quarterback put up another great game and Twitter was there to witness it.

Doing the happy dance

Needless to say, fans of teams in the NFC East that saw the Eagles go down and go down hard were pretty darn happy about the outcome.

This should be the rule forever

ProFootballTalk raises the specter of a rule that would certainly make the NFL more interesting. Sort of a WWE flavor to the sport.

The Eagles should be required to surrender their Lombardi Trophy to the Saints.
