Which of the Eagles that departed in the last few years hurt you the most? Was it Hugh? Troy Vincent? Ike? Maybe even Thrash? >:D
We are playing the Falcons this week and that is why I made this thread. For me Ike leaving hurts the most. I liked Hugh more as a player, and he was just so entertaining, but Hugh isn't on another team(not counting going to the Jags). Ike hurts more to me because he went to an NFC rival. He was just such a classy guy. It's going to hurt a ton to see him in a Falcons uniform. I'll miss him on Daily News Live as well. Even though he never really told you anything that was can't miss.
What departed Eagle hurt you the most when they left?
Troy. Classy guy, excellent player. He selflessly taught everything he knows to Lito and Sheldon.
Reggie White. :paranoid I would have to say Hugh, the guy always made me laugh. Who knows maybe he'll be back mid season but he's someone i trusted to keep the lockerroom loose.
Trotter without a doubt.
I really admired him and was furious when he left.
Not so much anymore.
:-D
Duce. And Hugh.
Duce because he did everything this team ever asked of him on the field and left it all out there every time he played. Plus he was the lone bright spot on some exceptionally zesty Eagles offenses.
Hugh because he's farging hilarious.

Hurt would be an overstatement for me. It's a game and a business and shtein happens, so I can't really go with hurt (the closest would probably be if Dawk left, though).
I was disappointed to see Vincent go, though. Great player, great person, local guy, intelligent...but that's the way the things shook out.
Duce, Trot and Ike
Ike will always be an Iggle because of his comments after the NFCCG.
I'm with Zanshin regarding the terminology. Nothing the Eagles do "hurts" me. But I'll play along anyway.
Duce. "Mash, mash, mash, Score!"
Correll Buckhalter... :'(
Duce, Hugh, Ike. That order :)
Duce... when we had nothing else, he was there gettin' it done. We LITERALLY rode his ass before Reid got here.
Ike... bothers me... but maybe that's because living in ATL I see him all the time in that fargin Falcon uni.
You're right, Feva.
Duce was all we had in 1998 and 1999. Hell, I even remember him when he was returning kicks in 1997 and wearing #41 for awhile.
Hugh this time around, not 3 years ago.
After meeting and hanging out with Hugh, I can only hope he sticks around this area and becomes a part of the community. He's a great guy.
Easily Hugh now, no more classic funny guy quotes for the NFL Films. In the past Vincent, especially because he never got to see the SB with the Eagles.
JRod Cherry
none.
laundry rules!
Past- Seth Joyner
Present- Duce, Trot, Troy, and Hugh
I miss Carlos.
Duce and Ritchie
Ike. I don't get it either, but I miss him more than the rest.
20 replies and not a single vote for Ricky yet. Geez, one off handed remark and nobody loves ya.
I miss Buddy. I loved that cranky old sob. If it has to be a player, its Reggie.
This year it has to be Hugh - maybe because I didn't see it coming.
Previously it had been Duce. While he had that contract dispute in his last year it never effected his play. The NFC Championship Game against Carolina (sorry to mention it ) he played his heart out.
Biggest suprise was the year they let Troy and Bobby go. We know now that the knew what they were doing but at the time it was somewhat shocking.
None of them hurt me, in fact, none of them even touched me! I have a list of players I'd like to see go that would make me happy but no one hurt me. I will miss Hugh because of his leadership. I miss Duce because he was a gamer and I'll miss Ike for his leadership but none of them hurt me in the slightest.
I've been posting on this site since its beginnings and if some of the folks who were part of its creation (and I feel are part of my extended family) were to leave, THAT would hurt me deeply! ;D ;D ;D ;)
Hugh this year, Duce before that.... I wanted Hugh to get a Superbowl ring. I always loved Duuuuuuuucce!! The Dallas opener(pickle-juice) game was the Shtein!
Of all the players, the departure of James Thrash hurt me the most.
When I heard the news, I hit my head on the door jamb jumping for joy.

I think for me, when Westbrook left, it hurt the wost manneans.

Ditto. Nice job quoting him from the azz whooping they laid on Dallas too. :yay
Yeah, it's a shame that's the only time in the last five years they actually did mash, mash, mash, and score.

Further proof that drafting McNabb instead of Ricky Williams was a colossal mistake on the Eagles part.
:D
That wouldn't have even been a problem if we still had Buddy.
Trotter pissed me off more than anything. Sure, i'm glad he's playing well for the Eagles now that he's back but i don't root for him individually.

Do you cross yourself and genuflect when you type Buddy's name out?
I do.
