You can't win a SB without regular season success.  Lurie's brought winning culture, has fired coaches at the first sign of a losing season, his teams have been to 3 Super Bowls, prior to that they only went to 1.  The 2 they lost, they only lost by 3 points it's not like they got blown out they were legit contenders in each.  

Besides, what are you going to do about it?  It's not an election, Lurie isn't going anywhere.  There are a lot things to complain about with this team, Lurie isn't one of them.

There’s nothing I or any of us can do about it except complain. He’s making money hand over fist just from revenue sharing. He doesn’t give a crap about the fans. And now he’s bringing in his twenty-something year old Harvard educated son to run the biz. People rip into Jerry Jones for meddling but I don’t think Lurie is any different.

I disagree, I think he cares about the fans.  Of course every owner is in it to make money, but part of that is keeping fans happy.  We had owners in the past who were awful and truly didn't care about the fans.  Lurie has upgraded the stadium, team facilities to where it's an attractive place for free agents, gave the fans back Kelly Green this year (yes and made money off it), etc.

People get upset when the team plays bad and look for anyone and everyone to blame.  Lurie is a good owner, the team is usually competitive and rarely have losing seasons.

L did not pay for the stadium out of his pockets! Pennsylvania tax payers did contribute a large portion from what I remember. Mr. L is not a bad owner…but he is horrible at meddling in football coaching, where he does not belong. Howie, Siri, are his puppets. Too much power went to his had. I feel how Jason Kelce looks.

Lurie is a great owner. Not very many NFL franchises have had more success during the time he's owned the team. 

 

 

He sucks. He hasn't fired a coach yet.

Bringing back Sirianni will make this a losing franchise.

Lurie is a top tier owner.  There are no perfect owners.

He’s mediocre.  One SB victory in 30 years of ownership.

The very definition of average.

This is dumb he’s obviously a great owner even if I don’t agree with every single thing. It’s a silly debate 

L take

I don't think he is bad owner but he was the one who did away with the Kelly Green so bringing it back was just righting a wrong of his own. Most fans were not onboard with the uniform change when he did it.

Fair point. But he did bring it back knowing there was demand from fans (and he could make money). At the time the rumors were his wife (ex-wife now) hated Kelly Green and wanted to change it.

Lol, I heard that rumour as well. I get listening to the wife but sometimes you gotta say not happening.

Yah, owners are to be judged on the color of the uniforms of their teams.  Seems like a legit criteria

I wouldn’t go that far. Sirianni is probably gone after this season unless he can turnaround this offense and defense that he doesn’t control. With that being the case we have also seen this team make fairly quick turnarounds with HC changes.

Lurie’s overall record pretty much speaks for itself. It’s hard to claim he’s wrong (Howie as well for that matter) when you consider all of their success, but there is the issue on how Andy Reid is doing so much better without Lurie as his owner than what he was doing with Lurie as his owner. I believe Lurie is a top five owner, but he’s not perfect and is perhaps more meddlesome than he should be. 

Lurie is comically overrated by homer fans. 
 

Only 1 SB victory in 30 years.  I expect more than that from so called "great” ownership.

Most of us know the past. We have witnessed the dark times before Lurie. The Eagles have gone to the bowl three times under Lurie. Prior to that they went once. Is Lurie perfect? No he’s not, but he’s easily the best owner the Eagles have had since the SB era and he’s one of the better owners in the league today. Still that doesn’t mean he’s above some criticism, because again he’s not perfect.

I don't know that the Eagles EVER had a better owner than Lurie.  Maybe the owner in the 40's when Steve Van Buren was running the ball and Greasy Neale was the HC.  But nobody has owned the team as long as Lurie and nobody has had sustained success like Lurie.

There have only been like 14 teams to win a Super Bowl in last 30 years (some teams like KC, New England, Denver, Dallas - a loooong time ago have won multiple during that time).  The Eagles have the 6th most wins over the past 30 years.  The 6th most playoff wins over the past 30 years.  4th in most playoff games played over the past 30 years.  It just stinks they lost to the Patriots and KC in the other 2 Super Bowls, especially last year and definitely the year the pissed away the NFCCG to Tampa at the last game at the Vet (I was there).  During this span, they definitely should have had another 1 or 2 Super Bowls but they have had more success than most teams in the NFL during this time.

I think Big Red had grown stale here and needed a change. He took the team to 5 NFCCGs while here, and should have won at least two more than he did. Going from McNabb as QB to Kevin Kolb obviously didn´t help his case. Even now in KC, he´s let the WR situation deteriorate to such an extent he has to rely on the brilliance of two players - and those two, Kelce and Mahomes, are generational-type players - while leaning heavily on his defense. A great coach, no doubt, but he has some amazing pieces to work with.

This. I don't see this success stemming from Reid's brilliance, it's really from having fortunate circumstances.  I still think if last year's game is played on a decent field, the chiefs don't win that SB.  They got lucky against the whiners, and we all saw them get outclassed at every position vs Tampa. I still think Reid having 2 SB wins is pretty fluke, but I can't hate on the guy. I'm actually rooting for him this time because I loathe the 40-whiners 😂

I think Reid is a great coach but like all great coaches he’s reliant on a great QB. I’m not sure there are many great HCs in NFL history who have won multiple SBs without an elite QB? When Reid was great in Philly he had McNabb is his prime.

The main reason I say he's fortunate is because I feel his wins are fluke.  It honestly took crap field conditions and complete meltdowns in the 4th quarter for both of his super bowl wins. I agree, there's not many HC's that have won SB's without elite QB's.  The only guys that come to mind are Noll and Gibbs.

Tom Coughlin would be one... 🥷
