Those Eagles teams in the 70's were really bad. It wasn't until Dick Vermeil became coach that things began to turn around for them.

The Jerry years

The Jerry years

You mean 3 SB wins in 4 years included, 4 straight NFCCG's.

Funny how the Eagles playoff game I remember the most was the loss. I suppose it's because it was a conference championship game.

Both quarterbacks were just awful. The Cowboys turned the ball over on three fumbles, two by Tony Dorsett.

The Cowboys defense could not stop Wilbert Montgomery, who almost had 200 yards rushing by himself. The Eagles defense shut out the Cowboys in the 2nd half.

Herm Edwards was a DB for the Eagles at the time.

This was the first of three consecutive, bitter losses in NFC championship games. The other two were to teh 49es in the :Catch" game and then to Joe Gibbs and the Washington Watchamacalits

Before the Eagles won their first and only Super Bowl in 2017, there was this joke:

It was reported that the Philadelphia Eagles home office was broken into.

Two men stole the entire contents of their Super Bowl Trophy Room.

Police are still looking for two men carrying a large green and white carpet.

This year we start our dominance over the Eagles for the rest of the decade.
Starting with a whipping of them Sunday.

Cowboys 42 Eagles 17

I miss the old Eagles Super Bowl jokes. The Smeagles, still looking for their precious.

Stupid 2017 season.

I miss the old Eagles Super Bowl jokes. The Smeagles, still looking for their precious. Or the emoticon here.

Stupid 2017.

Just think in 28 years the Eagles fans on here will be whining they haven't won since 2017. And have not been to the SB since 2022. We have that to look forward to.

You mean 3 SB wins in 4 years included, 4 straight NFCCG's.

Most fans seem to want to just sweep those under the carpet like it never happened. A lot of fans here weren’t around for those years. Some have never even seen the Cowboys win a divisional round playoff game. Those are the ones who are the most frustrated.

He must have forgot the Brady Bunch come back movie in 1994.

The Eagles will start their first series strongly. Hoping they receive the first kick of the game...then, they will be looking around trying to figure out what was happening.

 

[JayFord]

The Dave Campo years vs the Eagles is why i rejoice any time we beat that team

and for those who dont remember the Dave Campo years vs Philly

We remember them and call them the Jimmy Johnson years.

Very good comparison and the recent success, instead of saying the Eagles, says Andy Reid.

I remember them all, and they really hurt!

Who still has nightmares about the pickle juice game, the eagles opened the game with an onside kick

I still like pickles...and outside temperatures have been rising.

We remember them and call them the Jimmy Johnson years.

Jimmy never had to deal with free agency and the salary cap when he built those great teams. It’s free agency and the salary cap that tore those teams apart. Jimmy had a deal with a salary cap and free agency when he went to Miami and didn’t have a lot of success. Managing a salary, cap and players allowed to test for agency has made it more difficult. It’s hard to keep teams together these days.
