Welcome To Frustrated Philly Fans Forums

Welcome to Frustrated Philly Fans - the site devoted to the frustrated Philadelphia sports fan.

We recently earned the distinction of being the first city to have a professional sports team lose 10,000 games.  Add to that the fact that we also own the longest streak without a sports championship of all the cities with 4 major professional sports teams, its no wonder we get so testy as fans.  I mean, aren’t you as proud of our merry band of underachievers as I am?

Whether you are a Sixers, Flyers, Eagles or Phillies fan, we’re there to support our teams each season.  We cheer for those who play with passion (Aaron Rowand, Chase Utley, Brian Dawkins, Allen Iverson and Keith Primeau come to mind) and boo those who we know are just going through the paces (Can we say good riddance to: Terrell Owens, Chris Webber, Andy Ashby, just to name a few ).  We expect all out effort and will not accept anything less.  To do so will immediately result in boos so long and loud that the offending player will know how we really feel.
 
So as folks around the country add salt to our wounds and mock us, I wanted to provide a place for fans to come to vent their frustrations and meet up with other dedicated fans because we all know, misery loves company.
 
Come join us and let us know what frustrates you about your favorite Philadelphia sports teams.  Visit the forums to discuss with other frustrated fans the sorry state of Philadelphia sports.  Check out one of our events and get to know the other fans that have had enough with the lack of winning over the years or if you are interested, contact us to start one of our fan generated blogs where you’ll have full range to rant and rave about your favorite sports topics.
 
In the end, Philadelphia fans are the most passionate and loyal sports fans in the country, who else would continue to support such mediocrity year after year.  With that said, now’s the time to get involved and be a part of something bigger.

Remember, we are “The Official Home Of The Champions Of Heartbreak” and no one can ever take that away from us. At least we have that going for us.

Another game down and the Flyers are literally on their backsides.  Having started the seaon on a losing streak, the Flyers came back with a solid winning streak even while play questionable defense.  Well the losing is back considering last nights lackluster performance against Ottawa.  Here is my take on what is wrong with our team on ice:

  • Team defense: too many times I see opponents driving deep into our defensive zone with the Flyers forwards lagging behind in a mad dash to catch up.  This out of position play is giving the opposition too many high percentage shots on the overwhelmed goalies.
  • Too much offensive passing:  Will this team ever learn to shoot the puck?  In games last year, this team would pepper the opposing goalie with endless shots for different angles and crash the net for the rebound opportunities.  Past Flyers teams have used this approach to great success when they had that one large forward sitting in front of the net ready to pound a rebound past the goalie.  Tim Kerr or John LeClair anyone?  It seems this team had only one player, Mike Knuble, who is willing to stand in front and take the pounding.  This has to change for this year's group to get anywhere.
  • Captain: I'll probably take some heat on this one but I'm not quite convinced that Mike Richards is ready to be captain.  How many more games will it take for him to get this group's butt in gear?  I like Mike and certainly feel he's a vital part of the team but I'm not convinced he has full control of the team like other captains in the past have, most notably Keith Primeau.  I sure hope he starts getting in some people's faces soon as this season could easily slip away.
  • Face-offs:  In the bottom five in face-offs this season so far and in desperation mode to the point of bringing back our aging hero, Bob Clarke.  I'm also quite curious on how these professional players can get to a point where they have to take coaching from a legend to handle such a simple action as a face-off?  This is quite telling of the existing coaching staff and their approach.  What next?  Putting the sweater on Chief so he can go a few rounds with Cote?  You know, perhaps not a bad idea since Cote seems to get his ass kicked more than kicking ass.

I know the season is early but I already have concerns about this team and am hoping they are addressed soon.
