I watched this VHS probably 200 times as I was growing up
i was never an eagles fan. but as a kid i had this on VHS and watched it about 50 times id bet. i cherished the cards of a lot of the players from this video cause i loved it so much.
Join Us. If you're a hard working blue collar man then you're an eagles fan. Fly eagles Fly
Gotta love the old school nfl films yearbooks
The year I was born. Awesome to hear Merril Reese, he is a philly legend!
Bring back these uniforms
Oregon good uniforms
F'n A! Those unis are the shit. That Kelley Green.
Buddy had a lot of heart 😢😢😢
man does this bring back memories! Merrill Reese's voice calling out those names is like reliving some of the best moments of my childhood. Good Stuff! No... Great stuff!!!!
This is the best defense in the last 40 years. 5 QBS, no 1 in total, rushing and pass defense. Six players with 100 tackles and a 10-6 record. By the way, i hated those eagles teams because i was and still a Giants fan. Almost forgot a 44% completion against, which has to be the best since 1991. Football Outsiders are right and their name seems appropriate for who they picked, a non playoff team.
Them and the 2006 ravens and maybe the 2011 49ers as the best to not win a super bowl imo
Incredible quality.
Get Brad Goebel in there!
Still the only defense to rank first in run defense, pass defense & total defense in NFL history as far as I'm aware
Is that why they have been said the be the best defense to not win a super bowl
Best defense of all time.
No way. They were a very good defense,, but they choked in certain situations during that season, the 2000 Ravens the 85 Bears and the 2002 Tampa Bay Bucs were better defenses than the 91 Eagles , and they all won Super Bowls, the Eagles didn't even make the playoffs that year.
@@johndolejsch5102 A legendary defense with a competent offense can win championships. Just a legendary defense can win games. In 1991, the defense finished 1st against the run, pass, and total, but they finished 5th in points scored against. Why? Because the offense was utterly incompetent and constantly put the defense in poor field position. In terms of players, the offense only had all-pro TE Keith Jackson. Otherwise, they went through 5 QBs, one of whom was a washed-up Jim McMahon. Additionally, they averaged just over 3 yards per carry on the season. The offensive line was practically a turn-style. The 2000 Ravens had two HOFers on offense, as well as all-pro RB Jamal Lewis who gained over 1,600 all-purpose yards. The 2002 Bucs had all-pro RB Mike Alstott and 2 other pro bowlers. Even Brad Johnson went to the Pro Bowl and finished the season 22/6. The 85 Bears I think are the only defense who might be better. Even so, their offense had 4 pro-bowlers, a great OL, and arguably the greatest RB of all time.
I'd also add that the 91 Eagles went 10-6 that season and DIDN'T make the playoffs with that record. Additionally, between 1986 and 1996, NFC East teams won the Super Bowl 7/10 times. Talk about a tough division during that stretch.
@@JS-ue2si again I don't care. because that eagle team didn't win anything. they won a total of 1 playoff game. 1. and that's because Qb Bobby abear of the Saints gave the Eagles.that Game in New Orleans during the 1992 playoffs. Then the Eagles went down to Dallas and got their asses kicked. How did their defense do that game.
@@JS-ue2si at the end of the day it's all about the hardware. Second-place does nothing for me. And besides another thing as well that Eagles team had no chance to win a championship because Randall was overrated and the Eagles had terrible coaches in buddy Ryan and Rich kotite, while the Redskins had Joe Gibbs, the Giants had Bill Parcells, and the Cowboys had Jimmy Johnson, that's the biggest difference
@@johndolejsch5102 Since I'm not talking about the 1992 defense, that point is irrelevant. As you know, football isn't Madden. No team is the same one season to the next even if it consists of the same players. Even so, the 1992 Eagles missed beloved tackle Jerome Brown who was killed earlier that year. My observation was simply that the NFC East was one of the toughest divisions in that decade, not a comment about the 1991 Eagles defense in particular.
But regarding 1991 Eagles, if the conversation is only framed around winning, then Mark Rypien is better than Dan Marino, Michael Boley is better than Dick Butkus, and the 2011 Giants defense was better than the Purple People Eaters. Don't be reductionistic!
Most complete defense ever
There is a reason that this team is the ultimate team in Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES. You can literally crush teams, and depending on the path you choose, you either lead the league in rushing with a Cunningham (QB Eagles) or you lead the league in passing with him. Sucks he got hurt.
I became an eagles fan in the Donovan McNabb era. Born in 93 I didn't know about the 91 eagles what a great team.
No matter how good the team these are always great to see
Jim McMahon was great this year
I agree. McMahon was better than a lot of people give him credit for, and he was tough as nails. In a way, that was his downfall was that he'd never slide when he scrambled but he didn't give a fuck. He wasn't laying down for anybody. Lol. He was smart, too. He probably knew more about football than most coaches.
Interesting fact was the 1991Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers finished 10-6 but did not make the playoffs.
Crazy how being 10-6 doesn’t guarantee a playoff spot
Didn't know that
@@erics2739 There were teams that went 10-6 but did not get spot in the playoffs. 1978 San Diego Chargers,1979 Washington Redskins, 1980 New England Patriots, 1981 Denver Broncos, 1986 Seattle Seahawks, and Cincinnati Bengals, 1988 New York Giants, 1989 Washington Redskins, and Green Bay Packers, 1991 San Francisco 49ers, and Philadelphia Eagles, 2005 Kansas City Chiefs, 2010 New York Giants, 2020 Miami Dolphins.
@@frankdenardo8684 All those teams before 91 missed due to there being only 5 seeds. Had there been a 6th seed, most of those teams
would be in the playoffs.
@@ajthebestguy9th I assumed this eagles team made the playoffs before watching this
Used to love playing Madden 1992 with the Eagles...released in 1991 it used 1990 rosters and teams. You have to turn off the damn injury thing because Randall Cunningham gets hurt for the season on your first 20 yard scramble. There is absolutely nobody , at any age, who wouldn't Shut the fucking game off and start over.
Miss those days
My mom put me on punishment after I got in trouble at school. No TV but she let me listen to the radio. The comeback against the Browns was the first game I had ever listened to a game called by Merrill Reese.
I'LL BE BACK SCRAMBLING!!! 🏃🏽♂️💨💨💨
Think in 1991 Randall Cunningham was a league MVP candidate plus a historical defense what if Randall Cunningham doesn't have a season ending injury does win league MVP and the eagles make the playoffs?
Does Washington get in the way though?
They should’ve kept buddy 😢😢😢
They went threw loads of qbs I know because I was 13 big Eagles fan still am
Loyal fans remember this defense
Football Outsiders ranks this as the greatest defense ever. Okay, not "ever"--their advanced stats only go back to 1985 and probably will never go back before 1980 or so. Still...better than the '85 Bears, '86 Bears (which FO ranks as better than '85), '00 Ravens, or '02 Bucs.
Don't forget 2006 ravens
kelvin fing martin
Kelvin Martin bad name to remember
@@josecolon2201 Kemp qb?
@@ericpackers1700 yea
Imagine what would have been if the owner kept Buddy.
Buddy Ryan never paid attention to the offense. He went to Houston for a year in 93 and Arizona in 94-95
If the Eagles had a better head coach and offensive line that year they might have been NFL Champs.
If Randall didn't get hurt.....100% they would've gone deep into playoffs
That patchy, uneven astroturf at 3 Rivers Stadium would have the Prima Donna football players of today refusing to leave the locker room to play the game after the warmups.
The astrodome had issues with their turf too
The defense was top notch, but the HC sucked
I’m still mad 😡 at this season. Eagles 🦅 were the best team period in 1991 and the NFL and powers that be didn’t want us in the playoffs. 10-6 no QB no playoffs it was BS!!!!! This was a SB team and no one wanted to play us IF the Eagles had made the playoffs. NFL gave this season to the Crygirls. Heaven for bid the Crygirls ain’t in the spot light.
The Redskins won the super bowl that season didn't they? Yeah it was Washington. 90 was the Giants, 91 Redskins, then 92 and 93 Dallas Cowboys
Hey where are other yearbooks?? Eagles, are you part of Russian hacking?
I was just wondering same thing, i love these, 2008 my favorite
This team choked
I agree with you, I was at that Dallas game that year at the vet. before the last game of the season against Washington , and Dallas completed 7th Straight third Downs on crucial situations, when the Eagles defense needed a stop. And they didn't get it done against Steve beuerlein. He took us apart that game. Don't get me wrong the Eagles defense was very good but great , not even close
John Dolejsch I’m pretty sure the defense was dog tired with that trash offense plus a 3rd string qb
@@LA25250 excuses are for losers the 85 Bears offense was at best average except for Walter Payton. the 2000 Ravens offense was average , the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense was very average. There were crucial games that year were the Eagles defense came up small. The first Cardinals game at the vet the Eagles gave up 29 Points to a bad team, blew a 13-0 lead against Tampa Bay when they were winless lost 27-7 against the 49ers at home. As I said the Eagles defense was very good, but it was not great. 1-4 in the playoffs with that defense. And they got their ass beat two straight home games against the Rams and Redskins. There were crucial downs and plays that had to be made in both of those games, and they came up small. I was at both of those playoff games at the vet. And that 93 divisional playoff game at Dallas where they got destroyed 38 to 10. Not a great defense to me
@@johndolejsch5102 you’re the loser
@@johndolejsch5102 2002 bucs was above average and I'm packers fan
