People trying to say Lynch should have got in before him......

He's the reason I love the Eagles, him and Donny Mac, the lovable sex pest......

Dawkins was in a league above Lynch. It's really not close. Some people man..

LMFAO. Lynch was good sure, but borderline HoF at all IMO. Dawkins was arguably the best 2-way safety to ever play the game.

My favorite Eagle of all time. This is the only Eagle i watched play to make it in the Hall of Fame. So fitting it is the eve before the Eagles play and hopefully win the Super Bowl. What a great Eagles weekend! 

First game I went to was in ‘08, his final season in Philly. Feel privileged to to have seen him play in person, as well.

John Lynch isn't even a hall of famer in my opinion. Great player sure, but he doesn't belong amongst the best in history.
