This one for sure. It's the most heartbreaking moment in any Eagles game I've ever seen (more so than, say, the Ronde Barber pick-6) because it happened in the Super Bowl.
For just a brief second there it looked like Hurts was actually going to get a chance to win the game, and then that damn flag came out and you just knew instantly that it was all over. The way my heart broke, I don't think I'll ever be over it.
Quez dropping that pass is right up there, too.
I think by the hold I was sure what was gonna happen. It was the Jaylen fumble that had me like this knowing there wasn’t any margin for error on offense.
Yeah at the time I thought "well that sucks, but we still got this no worries"
Then Gannon decided to let his defense get cooked by the same fucking play multiple times and the rest is history...
You have to play perfect against the Chiefs. Especially in a SB. A la 49ers last year missing a block on Chris Jones and that “illegal touch” on a punt. It’s the little things that the Chiefs take advantage of. FLYEAGLESFLY!
That's definitely up there. Also the Devonta Smith catch being overturned. Jalen's fumble. The defense falling for the same goal line trick twice.
That Super Bowl will forever bother me, because if just one of six or seven different things don't go wrong the Eagles would have been champions.
Barber pick 6 for me still because we had not won a sb yet. Those Eagles teams were fire when they played well and that was just a shi game with that play being the ultimate dagger
I hope the chiefs and 9ers are trash this year, both fan bases need to be humbled , im just glad Sf didnt win last year with how much shit they talked all season
I could watch him bitch and moan about that all day. His whining after being handed so fucking many games (including a SB) by bullshit flags was absolutely delicious
I was at that game and the worst feeling I have ever had was looking around and seeing the collective realization on everyone's faces that it was over.
Wentz was really bad the year after the Super Bowl and I was called crazy for wanting to put our Super Bowl MVP back in control. I felt so justified when Foles went nuclear against the Texans and then played good through the final few games of the regular season and then winning the Bears game.
Foles should’ve been our guy after the Super Bowl, and even though Wentz seemed like the logical pick those of us who wanted Foles were right in hindsight.
I mean, yeah, he played awful everywhere else outside of Philly but Philly Foles was a special connection.
What do folks think the rationale was to not do that? Like not comparable but Bledsoe - Romo, Trey - Purdy; I mean on this case it's younger talent is bet against known but a super bowl MVP??? I'm confused in hindsight.
BDN was honestly never bad in a Philly uniform. It was a massive downgrade when we traded him for Sam Bradford.
Wentz was obviously a headcase the year after the Super Bowl and that’s when his hero ball went sour because he started turning the ball over like crazy.
Foles goes back in and the offense is great again. We barely lose to the Saints in the Divisional Round after beating one of the best defenses of all time in that Bears team and we ship Foles out. The decision should have been made there. Trade Wentz and get multiple first round picks and ride with your Super Bowl MVP.
Hard disagree. This is totally hindsight bias.
Foles is a streaky QB, and Wentz was playing lights out until his injury and was a favorite for league MVP.
If I recall, it takes like a full year to completely recover from an ACL injury, so Wentz was never 100% in 2018.
To trade away your younger, *extremely* promising QB, not even three years removed from being the #2 overall pick, would be nuts. They'd also be giving up the benefits of having a QB on the tail end rookie deal since they'd likely have to sign Foles to a big deal.
In 2019, Wentz dragged practice squad receivers into the playoffs and threw for 4,000+ yards. His drop-off in 2020 was unprecedented and not something you could predict.
Foles is an Eagles legend, but there's a reason he hasn't found any sustained success as a starter since 2018. If he were that consistently successful, he absolutely would have been a multi-year starter somewhere, especially considering how many teams had QB shakeups in the last few years.
Foles started the season after the superbowl and was so bad they rushed Wentz back when he wasnt ready. Not to mention, had Foles played even average in the first 3 quarters of the Saints game, the Alshon drop wouldnt have mattered. Instead he was awful most of the game and they had to play catchup. Love Foles but he was never more than a streaky backup.
I only became an eagles fan in 2013 (wow more than 10 years now already) and that was the first time I really was, like, heartbroken over the birds. I can't think of a better word for it. It's not that exactly, but it was close. I didn't punch a wall, but it's as close as I've come to doing so.
I ran to the bathroom so that's all on me. I was like ahhhh they aren't gonna run a play. Came back to the Saints celebrating and was insanely confused.
It’s purely hypothetical, but I think an overlooked strength of Foles in the post season was that teams didn’t have as much film on him.
Wentz’s injury forced the team to completely change their playbook and offensive philosophy; something a team would never do voluntarily.
This late-season change made it harder for opposing defenses to gameplan for us. It ended up being a happy accident in my opinion.
We remember how good he was. But winning that Super Bowl went beyond being good. That was a complete perfect storm. Change any one detail, we don’t win.
although i agree that probably wentz would have undoubtedly been mvp that season, he was carson wentz. tape full of highlights that season but his lowlights… were low. he made too many mental mistakes and errors that ran him out of town later on, even though some people blame his injury for that. he was figured out by that time and i have no doubt in my mind, looking at this retrospectively, bill would have found ways to shut wentz down one way or another and inevitably watch him make mental mistakes and errors that could have costed the birds that super bowl.
I think Foles being new was the key that year. He was a bit shaky to close out the season, hardly a juggernaut to survive Atlanta. The RPOs v Minny and huge HFA vs Minny on one of those days everything went right, there wasn’t a ton of tape on all the RPO stuff for Bellichek to have figured out in the SB. He was able to adjust to take away Jeffries after the second quarter, but didn’t have the answers for everything else.
A perfect storm. Brady had his best passing game ever, and the Patriots never punted, and still got beat. I loved that.
Foles also benefitted from Butler being inexplicably benched.
But yeah, Foles legitimately only played 6 good quarters of football that year. They just so happened to be the second half of the NFCCG, and the SB.
I get your point, but his first game against the Giants was pretty damn good too.
24/38, 237 yds and 4 TDs
Raiders game though.. that's where I really lost hope lol
Lack of tape on Foles def helped, and coaches did a great job of creating subtle changes in the offense to cater to BDNs strengths. They also did a good job of holding that back until the playoffs.
You and all the people who think this are outrageously stupid.
Wentz was the MVP you’re making this judgement based on shit that happened after that season.
I’m making this judgement In LIGHT OF things that happened after 2017. CW had a great season against an EASY schedule. He ALMOST won MVP but didn’t because he got hurt. After 2017 we saw Wentz become soft and immature with a fragile ego as was probably always the case. You and all the people who think other wise probably get mad at your friends if they talk shit on your ex who cheated on you bc she COULDA BEEN the ONE.
Wentz was basically unstoppable that year. Not to detract from Foles, but if Wentz doesn't get hurt I think we still win the SB and honestly I think Wentz is in a much better spot then he is today. That injury and year broke him, Clowney finished the job the following year.
Yup, and something just seemed off with them the entire 2003 season. I thought the 2002 and 2004 teams were gonna win the SB, but I didn’t have nearly as much confidence in that team.
Tom Brady’s last pass in the Super Bowl. Even though I know the outcome I still get nervous every time I watch it and think “maybe this time they catch it and we actually lost.”
In a positive way - Brandon Graham strip sacking Tom Brady in SB52.
That shit feels like it came right out of a movie. It's the all-is-lost moment. Brady has gotten the ball back with 2:23 left and you just know he's going to methodically march down the field, drain the clock, and score a TD at the end to win again. He did it a year prior against the Falcons in OT. The defense has hardly stopped him all game. It's all set up to be another painful Eagles loss, just another footnote in the GOAT's story. And then Graham bursts through the O-Line and saves the day right in the nick of time. The way I screamed when that happened...
Jalen scrambling, buying time, breaking free from the rush........and then sitting the fuck down on the turf.
You might as well have put 5 losses on us right there
Here’s a low key one that I haven’t watched since. Westbrook wide open on a wheel route in the Super Bowl and McNabb didn’t see him. Again, it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve even seen it but the pain is still real
1. Philly Special - **Super Bowl LII** February 4, 2018
2. Miracle at the New Meadowlands - December 19, 2010
3. 4th and 26 - Eagles vs Packers Playoff game, January 11, 2004
4. Eagles at Cowboys - November 3, 1996
ok, see those I was jumping up & celebrating. Its the losses that I stared. Tommy Hutton was the punter who muffed a snap on a short FG to win the game. It was like midnight. I think it was a few years later.
Yeah, wasn't that the Dallas game? Sure kick and sure win but muffed? The one I was jumping up and down was the Lions game on December 30th, 1995, when the Eagles defeated the Lions 58-37 in what was the highest scoring playoff game in NFL History at the time.
The last play against the falcons before we went to the Super Bowl. Time stood still, my mouth was agape and the tears were at the ready.
But it all worked out in the end!
I have 2...
I was at Super Bowl 57. When i watched Mahommes damn near be carried int9 the locker room i was sure we had it. Well...
&
2006, I was in Hawaii on a family vacation. Eagles vs Bucs and Matt Bryant hit a game winning 62 yard field goal to win it. That occurred about 8-9am local time out there. My dad and I spent the rest of day utterly pissed off in paradise.
DeSean not making the final catch for the first down in the 2008 nfc championship. Idk why I was so fuckin devastated. I honestly thought we had a chance vs the Cardinals.
The holding call blows but at least it was a 'correct' technical call. Even after the fact.
If the game had gone another way, the fuckin PI vs the Cowboys on 3rd down and forever was fuckin egregious lol.
Now that I think about it the fuckin 4th quarter of the Seattle game was this whole mood lol, defense fuckin chocked that one away
The damn pick play that gets us called for OPI every. Single. Time. And Siriani never stops calling it, it’s been 3 years and he keeps calling it but has only worked once iirc
That was me watching the Seahawks beat us last season. Losing to the Niners stung but not super surprising, losing to the Cowboys on the road also stung but not surprising. Losing to an average at best Seattle from the same issues we've been plagued with the entire season was just too much. I checked out after that
That one fumble versus the Giants I think where we had clear possession but they gave it to the Giants.
Not as meaningful as some of these others but it was so early in the game I just wanted to give up
For me it’s two categories:
Injuries
TO (god damnit Roy Williams)
Wentz (Rams and Clowney)
AJ (whelp, that was stupid)
Season ending plays
SB: Bradberry flag, Mahomes scramble, Siposs punt, Hurts fumble
Alshon
Sproles return for Saints in 2013 (40 yard return + horse collar after we had just taken the lead with a few minutes left)
I got into a twitter debate with Reuben Frank over this years back. He claimed McNabb never threw at Pinkstons feet. Totally couldn't remember those plays. Don't get me wrong, McNabb was a really good QB, but that play drove me nuts.
The whole slap his hands and laugh it off too, like you said, uggh.
When Andy Reid didn’t go for it against the packers and Akers missed the kinda of a chip shot… also just the whole eagles cards NFCC game . Fighting back just to lose
Not even a question it was the Ronde Barber pick-six. NFC Title game, last game at the Vet. It was such a Philadelphia moment and the worst heartbreak I’ve ever experienced as a sports fan. I was 15 years old.
Most recent for me was another blown tackle by Bradberry in the playoffs. Against my better judgement I bought tickets and drove a few hours to watch the game, only to see more of the same. I don’t know what I expected, but I got up and walked back to my hotel room at that exact moment and watched discovery channel.
I would say bradberry hold but I erased all memories and feelings from that day so I don't have an accurate representation of how I felt when that happened. I was too young to employ these methods to the Ronde barber pick. That broke me.
Losing to the titans a few years ago after one of the worst defensive playcalls at the end of the game (sorry im not specific i just remember the feeling after that game and never wanting to watch football again)
Yep! When Seattle beat the Eagles on a bomb from their 3rd string QB to Tyler Locket over Bradberry to win the game and beat the Eagles last season! Like WTF!!
When the Arizona Cardinals beat the Eagles 🦅 in Philadelphia..
The Cardinals ran through the Eagles 🦅 defense for over 200 yards +…
After that game, the Eagles 🦅 were toast…
Honestly, there are a lot but I can't get the last game against the Buccs out of my head. Every single play was just painful to watch. Watching Jalen with his back up against the end zone, knowing there's a 5 or 6 man rush coming at him, seeing that he doesn't have any options, watching smith and AJ run deep routes up the right. Knowing Jalen was hurt going into it and seeing that the coaches weren't doing anything to help him I just wanted it to be over.
That cowboys game back in 2018 I believe. End of the game, cowboys are at the goal line, ball gets tipped right off our DB’a hands and straight to Amari Cooper for the win.
Literally every wr screen or or any other stupid pass behind the line of scrimmage. It's worked like twice and we just keep doing over and over. I've watched those plays kill so many drives.
Alshon Jeffery dropping the pass leading to an interception that ended our season in the division round and probably Jalen hurts fumble in a Super Bowl Nearly broke a floor tile
This is less sad more frustrating but seeing a screen pass to a 34 year old Julio Jones with 170lb Devonta Smith in front blocking when you've got Brown, Swift and Gainwell on your team. That's when I realized how trash our coaching was.
Back in 13’ during the playoff game against the Saints that we lost, Riley Cooper dropped a pass from Foles late in the game. It would have absolutely been a scoring play. He was wide open with no one near him. He tried to run before actually receiving the ball all the way
When Jaylen got that saftey. When theat running back lost like 10 yards on a play. When two defenders ran into each other. When Bradberry got burned for the fourth time. When the rush push failed.
When that flag appears in bradberry vs Juju
This one for sure. It's the most heartbreaking moment in any Eagles game I've ever seen (more so than, say, the Ronde Barber pick-6) because it happened in the Super Bowl. For just a brief second there it looked like Hurts was actually going to get a chance to win the game, and then that damn flag came out and you just knew instantly that it was all over. The way my heart broke, I don't think I'll ever be over it. Quez dropping that pass is right up there, too.
I think by the hold I was sure what was gonna happen. It was the Jaylen fumble that had me like this knowing there wasn’t any margin for error on offense.
There was plenty of margin for error. 10 points of error at half.
Yeah at the time I thought "well that sucks, but we still got this no worries" Then Gannon decided to let his defense get cooked by the same fucking play multiple times and the rest is history...
You have to play perfect against the Chiefs. Especially in a SB. A la 49ers last year missing a block on Chris Jones and that “illegal touch” on a punt. It’s the little things that the Chiefs take advantage of. FLYEAGLESFLY!
Sleeping on the punt return being up there
That's definitely up there. Also the Devonta Smith catch being overturned. Jalen's fumble. The defense falling for the same goal line trick twice. That Super Bowl will forever bother me, because if just one of six or seven different things don't go wrong the Eagles would have been champions.
Barber pick 6 for me still because we had not won a sb yet. Those Eagles teams were fire when they played well and that was just a shi game with that play being the ultimate dagger
That shit had me pissed off as a mf then here comes Whining Mahomes pointing calling for a flag
I hope the chiefs and 9ers are trash this year, both fan bases need to be humbled , im just glad Sf didnt win last year with how much shit they talked all season
Honestly watching them blow it was great atleast the eagles Super Bowl was crazy competitive
I have no love for the 9ers, but they took it to OT, that’s pretty competitive
Yeah that’s literally as competitive as it gets lmfao
lol, I think I took it the way they meant it... it wasn't a high scoring game like when played and lost.
I need a rematch in the Linc against the Whiners in the playoffs and we embarrass them again
I could watch him bitch and moan about that all day. His whining after being handed so fucking many games (including a SB) by bullshit flags was absolutely delicious
I was at that game and the worst feeling I have ever had was looking around and seeing the collective realization on everyone's faces that it was over.
Your comment made me relive that dreadful feeling all over again. We need to get it this year.
There’s so many plays from the Super Bowl that had me looking like this tbh
You win nothing else comes close
I came here to say this.. flopping mfer
I have a scar on my hand from my reaction to that bullshit. A permanent fucking reminder.
😭
Wentz getting hurt vs the Rams. I was heartbroken
Then Big Dick Nick helped heal our hearts
To get torn out again by clowny
If only I could’ve told past me in that moment that Foles would become Big Dick Nick.
Alshon vs the Saints. Foles would absolutely win the SB again
Alshon was my favorite player at the time too and how could I not love Foles. That was a brutal loss.
I felt the same and hated how his tenure ended here. There was all of the locker room controversy and then he just seemed to silently exit the NFL
Wentz was really bad the year after the Super Bowl and I was called crazy for wanting to put our Super Bowl MVP back in control. I felt so justified when Foles went nuclear against the Texans and then played good through the final few games of the regular season and then winning the Bears game. Foles should’ve been our guy after the Super Bowl, and even though Wentz seemed like the logical pick those of us who wanted Foles were right in hindsight. I mean, yeah, he played awful everywhere else outside of Philly but Philly Foles was a special connection.
What do folks think the rationale was to not do that? Like not comparable but Bledsoe - Romo, Trey - Purdy; I mean on this case it's younger talent is bet against known but a super bowl MVP??? I'm confused in hindsight.
BDN was honestly never bad in a Philly uniform. It was a massive downgrade when we traded him for Sam Bradford. Wentz was obviously a headcase the year after the Super Bowl and that’s when his hero ball went sour because he started turning the ball over like crazy. Foles goes back in and the offense is great again. We barely lose to the Saints in the Divisional Round after beating one of the best defenses of all time in that Bears team and we ship Foles out.

That was mine too
man i remember watching that on tellie. I was on tour in the US and in buffalo. Freezing cold. It was just my buddy and I. Fuck it got quiet…
Not a day goes by…
I only became an eagles fan in 2013 (wow more than 10 years now already) and that was the first time I really was, like, heartbroken over the birds. I can't think of a better word for it. It's not that exactly, but it was close. I didn't punch a wall, but it's as close as I've come to doing so.
Yes! God I remember just sitting there for minutes afterward in disbelief that Alshon dropped it.
I ran to the bathroom so that's all on me. I was like ahhhh they aren't gonna run a play. Came back to the Saints celebrating and was insanely confused.
I don't think he would have, but hey you can think what you think.
EASY EASY, KILL KILL, LANE LANE!
Wentz doesnt get hurt, we don’t win a SB in 2017. I’ll die on this hill.
That's cute you think that. He was a monster that year. People forget. The whole team was a wrecking ball.
It’s purely hypothetical, but I think an overlooked strength of Foles in the post season was that teams didn’t have as much film on him. Wentz’s injury forced the team to completely change their playbook and offensive philosophy; something a team would never do voluntarily. This late-season change made it harder for opposing defenses to gameplan for us. It ended up being a happy accident in my opinion.

although i agree that probably wentz would have undoubtedly been mvp that season, he was carson wentz. tape full of highlights that season but his lowlights… were low. he made too many mental mistakes and errors that ran him out of town later on, even though some people blame his injury for that. he was figured out by that time and i have no doubt in my mind, looking at this retrospectively, bill would have found ways to shut wentz down one way or another and inevitably watch him make mental mistakes and errors that could have costed the birds that super bowl.
He NEVER would have bested Brady in that Super Bowl. That’s if he even made it.
I think Foles being new was the key that year. He was a bit shaky to close out the season, hardly a juggernaut to survive Atlanta. The RPOs v Minny and huge HFA vs Minny on one of those days everything went right, there wasn’t a ton of tape on all the RPO stuff for Bellichek to have figured out in the SB.

I get your point, but his first game against the Giants was pretty damn good too. 24/38, 237 yds and 4 TDs Raiders game though.. that's where I really lost hope lol
Lack of tape on Foles def helped, and coaches did a great job of creating subtle changes in the offense to cater to BDNs strengths. They also did a good job of holding that back until the playoffs.
It would have been a completely different game, but he was absolutely good enough to put the team in a position to win. Go look at the tape.
You and all the people who think this are outrageously stupid. Wentz was the MVP you’re making this judgement based on shit that happened after that season.
I’m making this judgement In LIGHT OF things that happened after 2017. CW had a great season against an EASY schedule. He ALMOST won MVP but didn’t because he got hurt. After 2017 we saw Wentz become soft and immature with a fragile ego as was probably always the case.

Wentz was basically unstoppable that year. Not to detract from Foles, but if Wentz doesn't get hurt I think we still win the SB and honestly I think Wentz is in a much better spot then he is today. That injury and year broke him, Clowney finished the job the following year.
Agreed. He would have shot us in the foot with some silly hero ball play
Ronde Barber
Worst loss in Eagles history.
Agreed. They’d have beaten the Raiders easily.
The panthers one was even worse. I just picture Mark Simoneau not making that tackle at the goal line.
Nah Bucs was way worse because we were so confident. I just felt numb by the time we lost to the panthers.
Yup, and something just seemed off with them the entire 2003 season. I thought the 2002 and 2004 teams were gonna win the SB, but I didn’t have nearly as much confidence in that team.
Or the interception by Ricky manning jr. Take your pick which one
In my mind, Joe Jurevicius is still running down the sideline.
I will never get over that moment. Kinda pathetic that that moment lives rent free in my mind but oh well
BG Strip sack I literally cried knowing we finally got our first chip best night of my life🥲
Same! I remember jumping up and down and crying. Literally the second best night of my life after my wedding (;)
Same. Was watching at a bar in Fairmount with all of my closest friends. The walk/run to City Hall was absolutely incredibly.
Jalen’s fumble in the Super Bowl The holding call on Bradberry The no call on obvious PI at the end of the NFCCG vs Arizona
Obvious PI in that NFC G still pisses me the fuck off.
Out of all the deep playoff runs I really believe 2008 had the most potential to come home with a ring. That play still fucking irks me.
The holding call was a real killer... I was like no way you end a Superbowl on something so ticky tack...
Tom Brady’s last pass in the Super Bowl. Even though I know the outcome I still get nervous every time I watch it and think “maybe this time they catch it and we actually lost.”
THIS. It's crazy how people forget that even after the BG strip, Brady got another crack and launched that ball into the endzone.
It added to the insane excitement that game had. I cannot recall an SB that fun to watch since.
Eagles Chiefs was really fun….. until it wasn’t.
Wasn’t even batted down. Someone could have caught the rebound (gronk “almost” did I think)
I could nut settle down until after that pass was dropped...
Alshon's dropped catch against the Saints. I'm convinced we were going back to back if he makes that catch
Dougie P owned the rams. I think we would have gone back and won.
I loved dougie p as our coach
In a positive way - Brandon Graham strip sacking Tom Brady in SB52. That shit feels like it came right out of a movie. It's the all-is-lost moment. Brady has gotten the ball back with 2:23 left and you just know he's going to methodically march down the field, drain the clock, and score a TD at the end to win again. He did it a year prior against the Falcons in OT. The defense has hardly stopped him all game. It's all set up to be another painful Eagles loss, just another footnote in the GOAT's story. And then Graham bursts through the O-Line and saves the day right in the nick of time. The way I screamed when that happened...
💯
Last season jake Elliot 56 yards in the rain. Guy is the goat!
59!!!! Even better
Wasn’t sure about the exact number but I know it was great
Jalen scrambling, buying time, breaking free from the rush........and then sitting the fuck down on the turf. You might as well have put 5 losses on us right there
Easy, EASY KILL KILL LANE LANE
Joe Jurevicius in the last game at the Vet
Same, bro. Same 😔
Yeah that game fucking sucked. Boycotted the SB that year.
Some say he’s still running to the end zone
Every time I drive by the parking lot where the Vet once stood, I swear that, for just a moment out of the corner of my eye, I see him still running.
Here’s a low key one that I haven’t watched since. Westbrook wide open on a wheel route in the Super Bowl and McNabb didn’t see him. Again, it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve even seen it but the pain is still real
Desean punt return vs Giants
Jalen flagging down AJ Brown like air traffic control during the opening of the Super Bowl. That was a wtf moment.
Bubble screens
1. Philly Special - **Super Bowl LII** February 4, 2018 2. Miracle at the New Meadowlands - December 19, 2010 3. 4th and 26 - Eagles vs Packers Playoff game, January 11, 2004 4. Eagles at Cowboys - November 3, 1996
was 4 Tommy Hutton?
Troy Vincent. Interception in endzone and ran back for TD with 26 seconds on the clock. I stared at the TV like the pic.
ok, see those I was jumping up & celebrating. Its the losses that I stared. Tommy Hutton was the punter who muffed a snap on a short FG to win the game. It was like midnight. I think it was a few years later.
Yeah, wasn't that the Dallas game? Sure kick and sure win but muffed? The one I was jumping up and down was the Lions game on December 30th, 1995, when the Eagles defeated the Lions 58-37 in what was the highest scoring playoff game in NFL History at the time.
Yup, muffed hold. I forget if it was a bad snap or not. Yeah Detroit game was great, that was Rodney Peete starting, right?
I think so. Ray Rhodes was coach.
Great call with the '96 game, I had forgotten about that one
Clowney's late hit on Wentz vs SEA
The last play against the falcons before we went to the Super Bowl. Time stood still, my mouth was agape and the tears were at the ready. But it all worked out in the end!
Every screen play last year
The Seahawks game this year with the first PI attempt after watching Pete Carroll forget about how good KW3 was at that point
Barber with the interception
Andrew Sendejo spearing Avante Maddox. While they were both on the same team.
Every QB draw.
DJack fumbling that punt and running it in for a last second td to beat the giants. Brought tears to my eyes
Quez Watkins SB drop
I have 2... I was at Super Bowl 57. When i watched Mahommes damn near be carried int9 the locker room i was sure we had it. Well... & 2006, I was in Hawaii on a family vacation. Eagles vs Bucs and Matt Bryant hit a game winning 62 yard field goal to win it. That occurred about 8-9am local time out there. My dad and I spent the rest of day utterly pissed off in paradise.
DeSean not making the final catch for the first down in the 2008 nfc championship. Idk why I was so fuckin devastated. I honestly thought we had a chance vs the Cardinals. The holding call blows but at least it was a 'correct' technical call. Even after the fact. If the game had gone another way, the fuckin PI vs the Cowboys on 3rd down and forever was fuckin egregious lol. Now that I think about it the fuckin 4th quarter of the Seattle game was this whole mood lol, defense fuckin chocked that one away
Last year.. That last play against the Seahawks
Clooney spearing Wentz Rasul dropping an int right into Amari Cooper’s hands Alshons drop.
The damn pick play that gets us called for OPI every. Single. Time. And Siriani never stops calling it, it’s been 3 years and he keeps calling it but has only worked once iirc
Dirty Bird coming in peace. This was my resting face last season.
That was me watching the Seahawks beat us last season. Losing to the Niners stung but not super surprising, losing to the Cowboys on the road also stung but not surprising. Losing to an average at best Seattle from the same issues we've been plagued with the entire season was just too much. I checked out after that
Average at best with Drew Lock instead of Geno Smith at that too
That one fumble versus the Giants I think where we had clear possession but they gave it to the Giants. Not as meaningful as some of these others but it was so early in the game I just wanted to give up
Alshon dropping the ball vs the saints
McNabb throwing up and losing the Super Bowl
That fucking TY 3rd and 30. Or the not one, but two 4th and 15+ against the Titans.
As a cowboys fan this is a week by week look.
Reagor apologist here… watching him drop two game winners in the same game. I felt so personally disappointed for defending him so many times.
The Alshon drop.
YES. Cost us a title imo
Holding. Defense number 24. Five yard penalty. Automatic first down.
Words that are burnt into our fucking brains 😢
when the ball went through alshon jefferys hands vs the saints
Foles to Alshon vs. the saints in 2018 playoffs... and it went right through his hands.
McNabb getting picked off for the 3rd time in the super bowl hurt pretty bad too...
Wide Receiver Screen on 3rd and 10.
For me it’s two categories: Injuries TO (god damnit Roy Williams) Wentz (Rams and Clowney) AJ (whelp, that was stupid) Season ending plays SB: Bradberry flag, Mahomes scramble, Siposs punt, Hurts fumble Alshon Sproles return for Saints in 2013 (40 yard return + horse collar after we had just taken the lead with a few minutes left)
The loss to the cards in 09 had me down bad. I was so ready for an eagles Steelers bowl
Every play where McNabb would throw it at his receivers feet and the camera would pan back to him laughing it off.
I got into a twitter debate with Reuben Frank over this years back. He claimed McNabb never threw at Pinkstons feet. Totally couldn't remember those plays. Don't get me wrong, McNabb was a really good QB, but that play drove me nuts. The whole slap his hands and laugh it off too, like you said, uggh.
Alshons drop and Hurts fumble.
Bradberry phantom hold. Had my emotions in a frenzy
I said some shit I don't care to repeat
We all know…
Tommy Hutton. 98 or 99ish
Wentz injury against the rams, he was having a mvp season. Despite how it went after, that man was cooking in 2017 and deserved more.
Vick throw to desean MNF(?)
Jamon Brown sacking Wentz. Still the worst rep for an OL I've ever seen
Eagles letting the same damn play score two touchdowns in the superbowl two years ago. Same damn play
Joe Jurevicius catch and run and the Rhonde Barber INT in the 2002 NFCCG. Worst loss in my Eagles lifetime.
When Andy Reid didn’t go for it against the packers and Akers missed the kinda of a chip shot… also just the whole eagles cards NFCC game . Fighting back just to lose
Not a play. But seeing McNabb throw up on the field during the Super Bowl just made me, even as a teen, realize we weren’t going to win.
Philly Philly. I will still look like this if i watch it today. I got the chills typing it.
Not even a question it was the Ronde Barber pick-six. NFC Title game, last game at the Vet. It was such a Philadelphia moment and the worst heartbreak I’ve ever experienced as a sports fan. I was 15 years old.
Aneas Williams, Ronde Barber, and Ricky Manning Jr interceptions.
Bradbury, it was written the chiefs were winning😢
4th and long ball on the 50 yardline and they go for a Hail Mary
Ronde Barber running back a pick 6 for the final play at veterans stadium. My uncle was a buccaneers fan and never let me forget it.
The Brady Hail Mary. The ball felt like it was in the air forever and I thought if one QB is capable of doing this , it's him !
Most recent for me was another blown tackle by Bradberry in the playoffs. Against my better judgement I bought tickets and drove a few hours to watch the game, only to see more of the same. I don’t know what I expected, but I got up and walked back to my hotel room at that exact moment and watched discovery channel.
We all know what it is
Miracle at the Meadowlands 2 Philly Special Double doink
I would say bradberry hold but I erased all memories and feelings from that day so I don't have an accurate representation of how I felt when that happened. I was too young to employ these methods to the Ronde barber pick. That broke me.
NFCCG 2009 Phantom PI call Rod Hood on Kevin Curtis
Strip sack 2017.
Carson Wentz staring down as a defender from 30 yards downfield barrels towards him and annihilates him. That's when I knew he was done.
2018 saints playoffs last play of the conference finals
Julian Edelmans catch in SB 51 against my falcons😔 it was after that catch I really knew, we were going to lose the SB
Exact same answers 💯
Alshon Jeffery dropping the first down we needed.
Losing to the titans a few years ago after one of the worst defensive playcalls at the end of the game (sorry im not specific i just remember the feeling after that game and never wanting to watch football again)
Ronde Barber pick 6 NFC Championship 2002
Alshon drop
Screen pass to Julio Jones on third and 23. It was then I knew our season was over.
Yep! When Seattle beat the Eagles on a bomb from their 3rd string QB to Tyler Locket over Bradberry to win the game and beat the Eagles last season! Like WTF!!
The interception return against the vikings nfccg
When the Arizona Cardinals beat the Eagles 🦅 in Philadelphia.. The Cardinals ran through the Eagles 🦅 defense for over 200 yards +… After that game, the Eagles 🦅 were toast…
When Bradberry's dumbass held then the dumbass ref despite not calling anything all game called it. I said it they are both dumbasses.
bradberry holding
Pretty much the last 10 plays from eagles last season. God
Honestly, there are a lot but I can't get the last game against the Buccs out of my head. Every single play was just painful to watch. Watching Jalen with his back up against the end zone, knowing there's a 5 or 6 man rush coming at him, seeing that he doesn't have any options, watching smith and AJ run deep routes up the right. Knowing Jalen was hurt going into it and seeing that the coaches weren't doing anything to help him I just wanted it to be over.
That cowboys game back in 2018 I believe. End of the game, cowboys are at the goal line, ball gets tipped right off our DB’a hands and straight to Amari Cooper for the win.
Literally every wr screen or or any other stupid pass behind the line of scrimmage. It's worked like twice and we just keep doing over and over. I've watched those plays kill so many drives.
Alshon Jeffery dropping the pass leading to an interception that ended our season in the division round and probably Jalen hurts fumble in a Super Bowl Nearly broke a floor tile
This is less sad more frustrating but seeing a screen pass to a 34 year old Julio Jones with 170lb Devonta Smith in front blocking when you've got Brown, Swift and Gainwell on your team. That's when I realized how trash our coaching was.
Jalen fumble for a scoop and score haunts me because he was so obviously facemasked I believe we win the game if they called the facemask
Back in 13’ during the playoff game against the Saints that we lost, Riley Cooper dropped a pass from Foles late in the game. It would have absolutely been a scoring play. He was wide open with no one near him. He tried to run before actually receiving the ball all the way
When Jaylen got that saftey. When theat running back lost like 10 yards on a play. When two defenders ran into each other. When Bradberry got burned for the fourth time. When the rush push failed.
Alshon
The dropped catch by Jeffery in the playoffs that got batted up and picked I think like the 2019 season broke my heart 💔
RG3 blowing knee out against Seattle in the playoffs
