Eagles fan here and a season ticket holder for the last couple of years. I am an international transplant and adopted everything Philly.
Having said that, I only witnessed a couple of years of the Vet. I went to a few games here and there. Most of my experiences are at the Linc. All the bad rap that you hear and read everyday was from way back when or from New Jersey fans
A lot of Eagles fans are vulgar and will mouth off. They almost take pride on that. However, you rarely see anyone actually get physical. There was that Lions fans who says he got beat up outside the stadium after the snow game. To this day, no one has, police included were able to verify his story. Most of the incidents (drunk girl stealing a veterans prosthetic legs) are usually once a game fans who likes to makes the most of their experience by drinking and getting shit faced even before the game starts. No excuse, but I suspect this happens in every stadium.
Most fans of visiting teams, division rivals included, almost always have a positive experience. Proof the testimony of Hawks fan in this thread. The worst I've seen in my section (lower level SBL type) are a group of Redskins fans who from the get go were giving it to us. It almost feel like they wanted to come to the Linc and say, we give it to them bad Eagles fan and I survived.
As for booing injured players. Yes, that is in response to fans thinking players faking their injury to slow down the offense (Redskin and Giants did this regularly). That's always the initial reaction. You will also hear fans cheer and clap when an injured player gets up and walks it off/carted etc.
Nice win by your team. I actually expected a worst result because of that defense. Eagles are good but not at the level of the Elite teams in the NFL yet, which the Hawks is.
