Sad Eagles Fans Roasted for Wearing Paper Bags During Loss to Buccaneers

In this story:
The Philadelphia Eagles had their ugly season come to an ugly end Monday night with a brutal 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The defending NFC champs endured a disastrous close to the season, losing five of their last six regular-season games before dropping Monday night’s stinker to Baker Mayfield and Co.
The Eagles now face some big question marks heading into the offseason, and they will do it without Jason Kelce, who told his teammates after the game that he will be retiring from the NFL.
These three Eagles fans seemed to come prepared for the season-ending loss, as they put paper bags on their heads in the final minutes:

NFL fans roasted them.
Imagine, after the season the Eagles have had, the leve of pessimism required to attend a playoff game prepared to wear paper bags on your head if it goes poorly.

The amount of teams that would kill to be in Philly’s position tonight… https://t.co/xccfsaRlXX
Bringing bags like you’re about to go 0-16 but you’re actually at a playoff game is exactly why people love to see the Eagles lose 😁 https://t.co/Wi63e5hdx0
