Allow me to be a blind homer for a second.
No, I'm not going to predict that the Eagles will win the Super Bowl this year. They're not yet good enough to do that, especially considering the thin cornerback situation.
Instead, I'm going to be a homer for Bleeding Green Nation, which is probably the most widely-visited Eagles fan website--in fact, BGN gets even more web traffic than the Eagles' own website! So I'm going to claim that Bleeding Green Nation is objectively* better than Blogging the Boys.
Here's some pictorial evidence to support my homeristic claim:
BtB's Alexa ranking:
And BGN's Alexa ranking**:
These screenshots were taken within seconds of one another on June 20, 2017, just so you know that this is an apples-to-apples comparison.
Remember that these are rankings, so the lower the number, the more traffic a website gets! For comparison, here's Google:
Here's Tommy Lawlor's excellent Eagles site:
And here's a not-nearly-so-popular site about the excellent sci-fi TV show Andromeda:
So, BGNers, keep BGN awesome! Keep visiting the site and help us Eagles fans maintain our claim to fame! Everybody knows that Eagles fans are passionate, loyal, and well-informed (even if certain shallow media outlets refuse to let the 40-year-old Santa Claus thing go...)--let's continue to show how well we keep abreast of our favorite team!
And, of course, Fly, Eagles, Fly!

The box with the numbers in the upper-right corner comes from the Alexa
web traffic toolbar, which is a handy tool for me as a blogger. But it's also fun
to see how much traffic other sites are getting! Or maybe I'm just the only
super-nerd who finds this stuff interesting...

* I'm well aware that popularity does not equal quality. In fact, the two are probably
opposites in some cases! But this is my website, and I can do what I want!
**This is thanks in part to the high frequency of posts by Brandon Lee Gowton and the rest
of the BGN team. Search engines like Google favor this practice, which improves BGN's relevance
rating in their algorithm, which makes the search engines list BGN at the top of the results, which
then yields even more traffic to the site.
