kyla (being from boston and being a huge red sox fan) was ranting to me about this exact topic yesterday when we saw a fan in the crowd in philly with a BREAK THE CURSE sign. she had your same point.
i think it's one thing to uniformly, always suck, and another thing to be good enough all season and then choke at the end. maybe it's degrees of losing, and it's easier to accept it when your team constantly loses. when it seems to always lose just at the end... it becomes compelling for a susan lucci-style curse argument to evolve.
not that i'm saying the eagles were cursed. they have, typically, just sucked.
