The first 40 seconds summarize 1968 pretty well.
Eagles are my team since 1988. I was born in 1976 but l love old school footage of my team despite how bad we stunk!!!!
I’d like to thank The Eagles for being so cool to us. I just checked out the YT channels of our rivals and none of em are uploading stuff like this. I’m working my way all the way through. There’s some missing years but this is great stuff! 👍🏼🤟🏼
I also agree. Thanks to the Eagles for making these highlights available.
The kelly green helmet with the silver wings was the best design ever. IMHO
Please keep these coming, I wasnt born till 79, it cool to learn about the teams my dad watched back in his day.
Bears fan here but I do have an amazing admiration for the Eagles!
Thanksgiving game is the first Eagles game I remember watching from beginning to end. I was 9 years old. Fly Eagles Fly.
I remember it being one of the muddiest games I'd ever seen. You don't see that anymore.
Grew up in Wisconsin. First season I ever followed from beginning to end was 1968. I remember watching that Packer-Eagle game thinking "Gee, I guess they'll still be pretty good even though Lombardi isn't coaching anymore". Guess again, kid.😅
@@bemore1134 but that Packer team would go 6-7-1 Lombardi not coaching made a difference
The Thanksgiving Day game is my first memory of pro football (7 years old). With all that mud it was difficult to tell the two teams apart on my grandma's old black & white TV. Great memories!
I was there… 12 zip… at one point you can’t tell who is who.. but at one point the Eagles punter comes out completely clean.. he kicks the ball down the field and is standing there and one of the lions players pushed him in the mud.. he was pissed.. remember people in tiger stadium just started laughing.. it was my first professional football game in my initiation into being a lifelong suffering Detroit lion fan..
Tom Woodeshick was a beast.
I remember a lot of these games during 1968. I remember the Eagles were losing all of their games, and there was talk they would get the number 1 draft pick. In September 1968 the most talked about college player was a guy who played for Purdue who decimated Notre Dame for the second year in a row, that year. Eventually by October people were talking about a player out West with initials in his name. When the season ended, the Eagles got the second draft pick, and the guy with initials in his name, OJ went to Buffalo, while the Eagles picked Leroy Keyes of Purdue.
Actually Philly had the 3rd pick. Keyes was sandwiched between a couple of difference makers as lineman. George Kunz at #2 to Atlanta, While Pittsburgh took Joe Greene at #4.
too cool , waaaay cool , always cool.......these old films are the best !!!
Always like the jazzy background music in 1960s NFL videos..
Doesn't matter how bad they were, I love watching videos like this because the field and back of the helmets are devoid of anyone 'mattering'
Bob Brown was so awesome it was scary, lol. I could spend an hour watching clips of Bob destroying opponents, like Godzilla gone crazy. If he'd hit me with that forearm, I'd be dead, lol! It was a sight to see.
No doubt, injuries hurt them that year. I remember the Thanksgiving game, especially the muffed placekick and Sam Baker's run.
Middle linebacker, Dave Lloyd, in old films, was like Larry Stallings, of the Cards, or Dave Wilcox, of the 49ers; always around the ball and usually in on the play. I think he played in The Pro Bowl in 1969. Liked that shade of green the Eagles had then.
I did a highlight of him, check it out.
@@master-pdot Thanks. I went over there and watched it, gave it a, "Like". If a pass rusher made an outside move, Brown would just ride him completely out of the play. He could run like hell for a 305-pound man. He looked like a mountain when he got into his 3-point stance.
@@tommythomason6187 Your welcome, glad you liked it. That's why i do Highlights of unexpected Eagle Legends that nobody has done on youtube.
bob brown was scary because he was one of the meanest players that ever played the game.
At 16:50, the Thanksgiving Day Classic at Detroit, admittedly, the field was a bit moist.
Was the last game against the Vikings the infamous game where Eagle fans pelted Santa Claus with snowballs? I briefly saw Santa at the beginning
Yes, I was there. It was all done in fun. People were laughing like crazy, except for Santa! lol
John Huarte Heisman Trophy winner in 1964 at Notre Dame
That screengrab at 0:50 is me during 2020. 😖
Woodeshick was a bruiser. Yet he never gets mentioned as one of the NFLs stronger power backs. 6 1, 220.
Loved Bob Brown & Mel Tom !!
In over 50 years of watching football, I ve only seen this play once. It happened in Superbowl IX when Tarkentons pass was batted back to him and he threw a strike to John Gilliam. Since it happened behind the line of scrimmage I figured it would stand, but it was ruled a pass for Tarkenton to Tarkenton and called back. Does anyone know the end result of this play ? 22:56
1969 thru 73 or 74 were the white helmets with green wings. Yes, the teams were bad, but I remember those helmets very fondly from my youth.
The NFL looked cool in the '60s.
tom woodeshick ......... one of the toughest runners of the sixties .............bill brown .....dave osborne ....ronnie bull ....tom matte .....jimmy taylor .......... i know i m missing several .......but woody........ the rumor was he used to fore arm parking meters ........... tuff .....or nuts ......who cares .....the guy was terrific .......loved the eagles of he sixties ,,.,...not very good .....didn t matter
also ...... just great uneees too ...
When they beat the Saints they lost the chance to draft OJ
When men took the field and acted like men. Today players act like immature attention seeking children.
Wasn't Scarpati the same guy who held the ball for Tom Dempsey and his 63-yard field goal?
I just answered my own question lol he was.
The Eagles were ranked in the top 10 worst teams of all time. It was shown on NFL Network. One guy said, "Had the 1968 Philadelphia Eagles applied for federal funds?" "They would have gotten them." "That team was a disaster!" They won their last two games of the 1968 season. One of them was against the Saints. This prevented the Eagles from drafting O.J. Simpson in 1969. Can't win for losing.🏈💯
And the 1972 eagles
0:01 To this video sets the tone. Number 37 showed why real men played this game back then.
1:24. Doc's 10 second examination = "Ah, I think it will be alright".
The pipe sticking out of his mouth probably had a therapeutic effect, as well.
Man those players were TOUGH . 50 60 years ago. A doctor tells me you be ok ? Smoking a pipe 😂. Hell man . Unreal
the win over the Saints murdered the Eagles chances of drafting OJ, as his uncle Homer would've said "do'h".
The Eagles had those uniforms from 1965- 1969 , even with a white helmet
This might be hard to believe, for some, but Tom Selleck's roommate in College and who was future TV and movie actor and also was in the last episode of Magnum PI in 1988, and was briefly mentioned in this video.
FYI, I noticed that some women that I met would much rather watch that roommate of Tom Selleck, than watch Tom Selleck.
Woodeschick was well on his way to a 1,000 yd season, until he got ejected for fighting in the final game of the season.
I attended the Steelers/Eagles game. The press called in the O.J. Bowl since the loser would remain winless and in line for the top draft pick which was expected to be O. J. Simpson.
Alvin Hammond, school teacher. Len Rhode of the 49ers, same thing. They had the first semester off and taught the second.
Which game was it that Woody was helped to the sidelines with a bloody head wound? 0:46
The Viking game, he was knocked out in the 2nd quarter and snow can be see behind him, Not mentioned : this was the infamous booing Santa Claus game. and pelting him with snowballs and who knows what else.
12:40 Steele's vs eagles
16:50
DEM BUMSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do we lose Bob Brown?
Traded to the Rams
WHY ARE YOU UPLOADING VIDEOS FROM THE WORST DECADE OF EAGLES FOOTBALL???? We traded HOFer Sonny Jergensen for Norm Snead. Kill me.
Norm wasn’t that bad.
You also traded the likes of Tommy MacDonald, Irv Cross, Maxie Baughan, and Lee Roy Caffey and got garbage in return. It was the work of Joe Kuharich, the worst coach in Eagles history.
off season jobs. Back in the days when these players had to have 3 jobs.
When they won tbe last two games they couldn't draft O.J.!Instead they drafted that stiff Keyes.
Why bother with a review of such a terrible season
I think it's fascinating to watch stuff like this. There were plenty of talented players from this era who spilled their guts every week, and continued to play hard despite their team going nowhere. That's to be celebrated IMO.
