@@CalebWinfield-pg5bl sorry to say, but I think it’s second behind the giants 2007. They’re both very similarly, but the quality of the opponents the giants faced were better.
I live in Philly. It was my senior year at Central Highschool. Our prinicpal literally said “if we win tomorrow, technically there is school, but you guys dont have to show up.” I watched that game like my homework depended on it (because it did) and when we won, i couldn’t believe it. 18 years old, me and my friends showed up to school at 8am, left to go downtown, and celebrated with MILLIONS of other Philadelphians/South Jersey and practically tore down the city. Jason Kelce later on came to our highschool and played Trumpet along with the Lincoln HS band (New England kids. Our principal bet Lincoln HS we would win, and if we won, their band would come perform for us.) for us at Central. Greatest week of my life. Made me a certified Eagles fan for life.
I’m 33 years old so long out of school when we won the SB. But I was a teenager when we lost the SB Tom Brady when McNabb was our QB. Broke my heart. 10 years later almost exactly, I finally got to see our Eagles get revenge for that day!
Super Bowl 52 was absolutely one of the greatest games ever. Just pure entertainment from start to finish. Crazy to think Belichick's defensive genius somehow failed to work that day. And how will anyone ever fully explain the weird career of Nick Foles, who could be either the greatest or the most mediocre. No disrespect to Nick, of course. He is a true superbowl MVP and played one of the greatest games ever.
2017 had a different energy in Philly. The language fundamentally changed for a while. You hold the door open for someone at Wawa, they don't say thank you, they say go birds. The city bled green, the light poles were greased, and it was electric.
As a Falcons fan, I was sad when the Eagles beat us in the divisional round but ecstatic when they won the Super Bowl. It was like they were avenging us.
@@elijahdoesstuff4600 as an eagle fan that falcon game was the hardest won the had in the playoffs, I think it was the only game the eagles had to play there starters for 4 quarters accept the super bowl, and I was ruiting for Matty Ice in that super bowl they took there foot of the pedal the falcons did as decent team unlike Dallas or 49ers pluing it up on everyone
This season and the SB 52 was the greatest thing for an Eagles Fan. I still remember I was screaming my ass off when the clock hit 0:00. One of the greatest memories of my life.
And outside of the New England region, the world let out a roar on that strip sack of Brady. Nothing brings the world together like celebrating a Patriots super bowl loss.
Yes let us never forget that in the 2017 season the last 4 quarterbacks standing were Tom Brady, Blake Bortles, Nick Foles, and Case Keenum Seriously if you told somebody that before the season you would get clowned into Oblivion 😅
As an Eagles fan 2017 was the best year of my life. It’s not often a team wins a Super Bowl with their backup qb that lost the previous Super Bowl he played in.
As an eagles fan (surely there's none commenting here), Superbowl 52 was possibly the magnum opus of NFL lore. Having a guy who literally was planning on retiring and becoming forgotten, go on to be one of the most amazing Cinderella stories in the history of sports, and then having him get a HUGE payday for a team he ended up not playing for, was truly incredible.
Will never forget SB52; I was at the game with my dad. He had waited 51 years to see them win the Super Bowl; I was just 13. He started sobbing when they won; first thing he did was pull out a photo of his youngest brother his brother was a big Eagles fan but passed away young in 1991. My dad before SB52 thought he was going to die never seeing a SB; the sobbing was something I’ll never forget.
The 2017 Eagles were a true anomaly. They played that game against the Falcons in the playoffs and looked absolutely atrocious on offense and everyone completely wrote them off. Then Foles came out and played the game of his life against the Vikings and then went on and topped it even higher in the Super Bowl. They went from a team everyone wrote off to champions in a matter of 3 weeks.
Lifelong eagles fan, born in Philadelphia, and watched since the 1981 eagles raiders eagles loss, 37 years later to see that Super Bowl 52 and attend that parade, redemption finally, PHINALLY, what a season, what a season. Thank you for this video. ❤
As an Eagles fan, this season was magic. I swear Foles was touched by an angel during that Superbowl. It was an IRL Rocky story come to life. So beautiful... 🥺
@@CalebWinfield-pg5blI'm sure everybody did. this Super Bowl was literally just the Battle of "who do you hate Less" not to mention philly tore up their city after this
As a Colts fan...when living in Floroda a few mo ths beofre moving ablc to Indy..I rooted for Philly against the Pats and wa snappy tos ee themw in...they played a REALLY PHENOMENAL GAME against the Pats
It's so great being and eagles fan. When I watched the confetti drop I didn't know what to do cheer cry, it was like like time was still I love the eagles to death it was 1 of my favorite moments in life to see that game. Really was the best game in NFL history
You are forgetting other crazy things from that season - the Bills ends what a 20(?) playoff draught due to a mircale play from Cinny against the Ravens. Additionally, if that play didn't happen the Jaguars would have played Tennessee in the Wild Card rather than the Bills. The Titans swept the Jaguars that year (including the week prior - the last game of the season), and it was very realistic that the Jaguars would have lost in the Wild Card, because the Jags love losing to the Titans 3-times a years... which means the upset in Pittsburgh never happens and we probably get the Steelers-Pats AFC Championship rematch.
As an Eagles fan, I watched that SB at 4am-5am as time struck zero. Hopeful that the ball hit the deck. I can't believe its been 7 years since the ultimate underdog story happened.
Opposing qb had a 128 rating when 🎯 butler that year doofus so no and butler didn’t play the next year and same pats defense that held rams to 3 points the next year without butler
@@AlexRosner-v8tYes because practice squad Eric Rowe was better?

As a Bills fan, I would kill to relive this season. I was born in ‘06, so that Jags playoff game was the first one I’d ever felt invested in. You could feel the passion in everyone when the drought ended. It still can make me cry just watching the clips of everyone losing their damn mind and it’s really the reason why I love my Buffalo Bills. Even if they were ignored in this video lol. Also enjoy retirement Nick “Big Dick” Foles, thank you for slaying the dragon.
Crazy season. But it’s still my favorite year of my life. I met my GF just a few months after winning the superbowl. And it still feels like I’ve won 2 Rings that year ❤️
The iggles winning still feels like a fever dream. Its the only superbowl i can rememeber that i worked and looking at the stats the nxt day it just makes no sense. Brady breaks his own superbowl record for passing yds, 0 punts. And the iggles won.
As a Vikings fan, I went from the highs of the Minneapolis Miracle to the lows of getting absolutely stomped by Philly. And, what made it worse was that the Eagles won the Super Bowl in our home stadium.
I have a can of Bud Light with the Vikes logo on display with my other fandom items that I said I was going to drink during the Super Bowl after Miracle. After the NFC Championship I chugged the can because as Napoleon said "In victory you deserve champagne. In defeat, you need it."
As an Eagles fan, the 2022 season would've been right there with it if our damn defense did their job and held Mahomes down like they did in the 1st half😭😭😭
I agree. I remember watching the first few weeks of the 2018 season and being baffled by all of these roughing the passer calls. The most ridiculous calls were the ones on clay Matthews when he sacked Kirk cousins and Alex Smith. I’m sitting there thinking “WTF? Why are penalties being called on textbook/picture perfect sacks?”
Although I do gotta say, as bad as roughing the passer has been from 2018-present, 2017 was a horrible year for the catch rule. So many questionable overturned catches that year, most notably Jesse James vs the patriots. Also it was pretty ridiculous how many bad calls went the patriots way that season.
Well, define "true" I guess. They do a lot more to try to prevent serious head injuries now, especially where quarterbacks are concerned, yes. But, since causing literal brain damage to the opposing players is not actually the object of the game, I don't mind it.
I just watched this video and it reminded me of a franchise mode experience i had in madden 24 I had the exact same season as the 2017 eagles, Lost mvp favorite to injury, backup plays well, leads them through playoffs and won the super bowl
If you're referring to that Myles Jack wasn't down thing. To be fair, even with that call, The Jaguars still had a chance to win the game but they just didn't take advantage
This year is so crazy for me because im from philly and never got into football until this crazy eagles run, which in turn made me learn and love football, but wanna learn it from a different fan perspective. I learned all the teams, rules and players and asked myself “why and how did the browns go 0-16?” Started watching every one of there games since and am now a diehard fan. All stemming from nick foles
2017 was the first season I really started watching eagles, I was born in MN and my dad never really watched to much football but we moved out to the Philly area where my grandpa who did watch a lot of eagles lived and that was the year I really got into it and they won it that uou
10:56 “and back to superbowl championships” that’s the thing about this it’s not. A back up quarterback gave a very old eagle franchise their very very first win 🥇 in all seasons 🏆
I remember that season so fondly as an Eagles fan. I was a senior in high school and for years I got mocked for being an Eagles fan and how we could never win the big one. Needless to say when we won the Super Bowl I was on cloud nine! I heard it all once Wentz went down with the torn ACL. I heard "your Super Bowl chances came and Wentz" stuff like that. I heard you'll never beat the falcons then it was you'll never beat the Vikings their defense is too good, and finally it was you'll never beat Brady in the superbowl only one other team has done it. That win shut EVERYONE up even if it was just for a season. My grandfather, who has since passed away, was an Eagles fan practically his whole life. He'd seen it all at that point the highs and lows. I remember vividly what he said to me and my parents Monday morning after the game he told us "my life is complete and I can die a happy man knowing that they finally won the big one" and 2 years later he did pass. I will never forget that year as long as I live.
Living to see my Eagles win a SB…meant something to me and it still sucks the Wentz never lived up to his hype after his injury he really sacrificed his body for us and we couldn’t do it without him
the way this season mirrored an opposite timeline of every traumatic aspect of watching the eagles during the mcnabb years (yearly QB injuries that cut playoff runs short, losing to brady in 2005) make me question to this day how things actually turned out so magically the way that it did in 2017-18. I am confident that the satisfaction of seeing my team win their first super bowl against that legendary patriots team in the highest scoring super bowl of all time will never be matched in my lifetime
2017 was the first year since 1996 that my Jaguars were legitimate playoff contenders. I think the Steelers game was the most excited I've been for a team ever, apart from the legendary Lions-Rams playoff game last year. I still remember Myles Jack's early interception.
Im a lifelong eagles fan. this Superbowl was the greatest few hours of sports I have ever seen. A straight shoot out between the GOAT and Foles( Philly GOAT) what a fucking game!! I cried at the end
As a Dolphins fan I am glad that I don't have to live in fear of the Patriots beating us into last place in our division. Now maybe I can get my hopes up that we can get through the wildcard round as we haven't been past in 22 years. 😭😭😭
That season was my first season watching football and as an eagles fan, I am ruined. I was not prepared for the following seasons of pain when we were so close to victory
Oh yea man it was rough before. You started watching at a good time, im sure we’ll be contenders for years to come but that wasn’t always the case in the late 2000’s to early 2010’s we were trash but had some good players/big names
This playoff was really the end of an era, last year before the Mahomes era, one of the last great years of Drew Brees, the end of the killer B’s, one of Brady’s last SB’s with the Patriots all culminating in a miraculous run for Nick Foles
As a Giants fan this year was tumultuous, Odell tore his ACL, Eli’s streak ended, etc. But 2017 BY FAR is my fav NFL season ever, even though the Eagles won the SB, that was and forever will be the only time I pulled for them.
A fact many people forget is Bill Belicheck let his ego get in the way and benched Malcolm Butler for the entire game, he was a very solid corner outside of his superbowl hero moment, and likely would have made the Eagles superbowl run at least a little harder
Nah just pats fans coping. Opposing QBs had a qbr of 128 vs Butler that year. Not to mention the same pats defense held the rams to 3 points the following Super Bowl without him. Eagles and Foles were just better.
I watched that Steelers vs Patriots game with a buddy and that was his first NFL game he ever watched on TV. He is mad about that not being a catch to this day.
That 2017 season wasn't only a season we were never going to see again, but it marked a new era in seeing how bad officiating games were going to be after that season. 2018 became one of the most controversial seasons that year, and it only got worse from there on. I get there were bad officiating seasons before 2017, but it didn't feel as bad as consistent before

Well, define "true" I guess. They do a lot more to try to prevent serious head injuries now, especially where quarterbacks are concerned, yes. But, since causing literal brain damage to the opposing players is not actually the object of the game, I don't mind it.
2011 was the last true season
I just watched this video and it reminded me of a franchise mode experience i had in madden 24 I had the exact same season as the 2017 eagles, Lost mvp favorite to injury, backup plays well, leads them through playoffs and won the super bowl
I’d love it if you did more season reviews like this. Great video 👍
The Jags would’ve made an appearance in the SB if the refs hadn’t saved Brady
The refs always bailed crybaby Brady out.
@@georgelucas2571glad he's gone.
I will NOT be missing him!
A Jags vs. Eagles Super Bowl would have been one hell of a game.
If you're referring to that Myles Jack wasn't down thing. To be fair, even with that call, The Jaguars still had a chance to win the game but they just didn't take advantage
Yeah, that was the same year that the refs gifted the Titans a win at Arrowhead. The Pats couldn't take the Chiefs, give them Tennessee.
I was in my freshman year at Temple when this happened. Being on Broad after the win was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.
I LOVE YOU TUBFROG
i liked my own comment so what
@@mcjahnalds8298rightfully so!
2016-2017 was the best year in every category from music to sports
Why does this feel like 2024, random teams are playing good, the defending super bowl champions are favorites, injuries, and 23-24 was like 2020
Nick fold catching a pass in the Super Bowl you gotta love that. I’m not an Eagle fan but man with that crazy.
This year is so crazy for me because im from philly and never got into football until this crazy eagles run, which in turn made me learn and love football, but wanna learn it from a different fan perspective. I learned all the teams, rules and players and asked myself “why and how did the browns go 0-16?” Started watching every one of there games since and am now a diehard fan. All stemming from nick foles
This was the last year we made the playoffs while we lost in the first round it truly was the last great season of carolina panthers football
2017 was the first season I really started watching eagles, I was born in MN and my dad never really watched to much football but we moved out to the Philly area where my grandpa who did watch a lot of eagles lived and that was the year I really got into it and they won it that uou
Okay Kareem was definitely NOT one of our cornerstones in 2017😂 we still had old vets like Justin Houston
that call will always haunt me
10:56 “and back to superbowl championships” that’s the thing about this it’s not. A back up quarterback gave a very old eagle franchise their very very first win 🥇 in all seasons 🏆
I remember that season so fondly as an Eagles fan. I was a senior in high school and for years I got mocked for being an Eagles fan and how we could never win the big one. Needless to say when we won the Super Bowl I was on cloud nine! I heard it all once Wentz went down with the torn ACL. I heard "your Super Bowl chances came and Wentz" stuff like that. I heard you'll never beat the falcons then it was you'll never beat the Vikings their defense is too good, and finally it was you'll never beat Brady in the superbowl only one other team has done it. That win shut EVERYONE up even if it was just for a season. My grandfather, who has since passed away, was an Eagles fan practically his whole life. He'd seen it all at that point the highs and lows. I remember vividly what he said to me and my parents Monday morning after the game he told us "my life is complete and I can die a happy man knowing that they finally won the big one" and 2 years later he did pass. I will never forget that year as long as I live.
the scriptwriters cooked this season
Watching this on my way back to the army is just so fun for me
Been watching football since 2010. 2017 is still my favorite season to date
Living to see my Eagles win a SB…meant something to me and it still sucks the Wentz never lived up to his hype after his injury he really sacrificed his body for us and we couldn’t do it without him
thank you for mentioning that tom brady did the philly special before nick foles did it
the way this season mirrored an opposite timeline of every traumatic aspect of watching the eagles during the mcnabb years (yearly QB injuries that cut playoff runs short, losing to brady in 2005) make me question to this day how things actually turned out so magically the way that it did in 2017-18. I am confident that the satisfaction of seeing my team win their first super bowl against that legendary patriots team in the highest scoring super bowl of all time will never be matched in my lifetime
Witnessing this in the prime of my teenage years as a eagles fan is truly a blessing to my life
2017 was the first year since 1996 that my Jaguars were legitimate playoff contenders. I think the Steelers game was the most excited I've been for a team ever, apart from the legendary Lions-Rams playoff game last year. I still remember Myles Jack's early interception.
The Eagles were truly “America’s Team” that year.
Ahhh that was fun to watch, thanks Tub!! Go Birds
As a saints fan the falcons didn’t blew a 27-10 lead, they blew a 28-3 lead 😂😂😂.
2017 was a wild year. The year of the backup QBs.
as an eagles fan man one of the happiest time of my life, just proving everyone wrong the entire season and winning in that underdog aura
LORD TUB POSTED LETS GO
Im a lifelong eagles fan. this Superbowl was the greatest few hours of sports I have ever seen. A straight shoot out between the GOAT and Foles( Philly GOAT) what a fucking game!! I cried at the end
As a Dolphins fan I am glad that I don't have to live in fear of the Patriots beating us into last place in our division. Now maybe I can get my hopes up that we can get through the wildcard round as we haven't been past in 22 years. 😭😭😭
As a birds fan, 2017 and the Foles Cinderella run was legendary. He saved football in Philly.
I cant believe how long ago 2017 was that was one of the 4 best years in my life 2017 2019 2020 2021 were peak for me
That season was my first season watching football and as an eagles fan, I am ruined. I was not prepared for the following seasons of pain when we were so close to victory
Oh yea man it was rough before. You started watching at a good time, im sure we’ll be contenders for years to come but that wasn’t always the case in the late 2000’s to early 2010’s we were trash but had some good players/big names
that falcons collapse really showed how integral Kyle shanahan was to that playoff run
If my memory serves me correctly, I think it was the Patriots waiting on the Eagles vs Vikings for the Super Bowl
Yeah. They didnt look good though. Brady got bailed out, Jags shouldve been the ones waiting. Im an Eagles fan and Im saying that
This playoff was really the end of an era, last year before the Mahomes era, one of the last great years of Drew Brees, the end of the killer B’s, one of Brady’s last SB’s with the Patriots all culminating in a miraculous run for Nick Foles
As a Giants fan this year was tumultuous, Odell tore his ACL, Eli’s streak ended, etc. But 2017 BY FAR is my fav NFL season ever, even though the Eagles won the SB, that was and forever will be the only time I pulled for them.
There was really just something in the air in 2017 for the eagles, every fan felt it. That was truly a team of destiny
we not talking bout how on 9:23 the patriots center is wearing jordan’s
Happy retirement, Foles. Great timing on the video
A fact many people forget is Bill Belicheck let his ego get in the way and benched Malcolm Butler for the entire game, he was a very solid corner outside of his superbowl hero moment, and likely would have made the Eagles superbowl run at least a little harder
Nah just pats fans coping. Opposing QBs had a qbr of 128 vs Butler that year. Not to mention the same pats defense held the rams to 3 points the following Super Bowl without him. Eagles and Foles were just better.
I watched that Steelers vs Patriots game with a buddy and that was his first NFL game he ever watched on TV. He is mad about that not being a catch to this day.
This season was crazy that ended with one of the best Super Bowls ever!
That 2017 season wasn't only a season we were never going to see again, but it marked a new era in seeing how bad officiating games were going to be after that season. 2018 became one of the most controversial seasons that year, and it only got worse from there on. I get there were bad officiating seasons before 2017, but it didn't feel as bad as consistent before
2018 was the worst season for officiating
@someperson3883 I bet every Saints fan agrees it was the worst lol
@@QcxmLmao true but the saints would have lost to the patriots anyway
