Even a burning building and young children in imminent danger isn’t enough to stop some Philadelphia Eagles fans from expressing their frustration with the team.
A surefire candidate for soundbite of the year came this week when a Philly man who helped rescue babies from a burning building took a shot at Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor while describing the terrifying scene. He said he and others were catching babies as they were being thrown from the window, not dropping them like Agholor would.
Nothing more #Philly than this! An #Eagles fan last night rescued kids from a fire but made sure to throw in this jab — “My man just starts throwing babies out the window. We was catching them, unlike Agholor.” Well DAMN! pic.twitter.com/luR1yyiNJx

Does it get any more ruthless than that?
Agholor has struggled with drops this year, including a crucial one on the Eagles’ final possession in their Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Agholor was wide open on a play that could have given Philly the lead and Wentz delivered a perfect pass, but the receiver dropped it.
Dropped passes are tough in any city, but the people of Philly won’t let you live them down. No, not even when discussing babies being tossed from a burning building.
