I was watching the 92 or 93 pro bowl the other day and damn near half the defense had eagle green on. Its crazy.how that team with a prime randle never even made an NFC championship game

Buddy Ryan gave no fux, wanted to kill the QB at all times. Bitter disappointment they never won a playoff game

Rex is a lot like his dad. Just no interest in the offense.

Randall said Buddy told him “just make 5 big plays and the defense will take care of the rest”

Buddy was crazy, he even put up a bounty on the Cowboys kicker.

I would put them just a notch below the mid 80s bears but I actually think it's just as impressive that the Eagles have generally had very good to great defenses all this time.

Iconic play. I remember that game very well. As a kid :flabbynsick: I cried when Randall broke his leg because I knew we had no chance at the super bowl after that, but the Eric Allen play gave me hope. End up being false hope lol but it was still an amazing feeling and memory I will never forget!
Yup. That’s what made me feel sad about it. It was finally going to be the Eagles year.
