Absolutely, Pete...even though I try hard to stay optimistic about everything in life, including the Eagles, and keep things in perspective as I noted...of course there are times when I get really upset, angry or really happy and excited about them...
It does take effort to follow them, it does take energy, it does take passion...but I see nothing wrong with being upset and taking some time away or waiting until they win you back....
The only caveat I would offer is my enjoyment is not exclusive to them winning....many have heard me say that the SB is not the ultimate for me or that winning is always the end goal as an Eagle fans....do I ache for that? Sure...but to hang all of my emotions and connection to the Eagles just to that achievement would be a setup IMO...I get alot of enjoyment just watching the games and doing it with friends like EB and his family do...it becomes more than winning IMO; it becomes a way of enjoying life and a common experience...
