The??Philadelphia Eagles??are among the favorites to win Against the 2020 Super Bowl.
FanDuel Sportsbook??gets got the Birds listed at +1500.?? DraftKings Sportsbook has them.
And OK. They are at the top six, although they aren’t the favored by any means.
NFL betting apart, Eagles fans are well aware that winning this coveted name can take a long time to reach (excluding these three NFL championships prior to the Super Bowl was a thing). The group held up the Lombardi Trophy??for the first time.
But they’ve experienced several debilitating losses along the way. There are over 600 of these in franchise history.
Rather than listing each one, we offer the 10 worst losses in Eagles history up.
That is, obviously, a subjective list. Feel free to disagree or agree.
Philadelphia fans get a bad rap nationwide. Throwing snowballs at??Santa Claus??probably has a small something to do with it. The group entered the final game of the 1968 season. So the fans didn’t have much to get excited about.
However, the 24-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings??is not what folks are talking about decades. This is actually the match when Santa got pelted with snowballs during halftime. There is even a spoof of ESPN’s 30 for 30??about it.
The weather becomes a factor in NFL games. It was surely the case with a??Dec. 31, 1988, playoff game at??Soldier Field. Instead of rain or snow,??heavy fog??blanketed the arena, making fans and those players impossible in the second half visibility.
The Eagles scored nine first-half points from the Chicago Bears and trailed to make things worse. The final score was 20-12, and also any championship hopes faded off from the fog.
If the Eagles played with the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 16, 13, Recall? It is hard to overlook the last rating of 13-13. Along with the AFC North team entered the game with a 1-8 record. Yes, upsets happen all of the time in football. But a problem was there. It sounds quarterback??Donovan McNabb??was not fully alert to the overtime rules. Listen try and explain things.
The Eagles entered the 2018 season. And that title includes high expectations. Unfortunately, the group of the year failed to live up to those expectations.
They traveled to New Orleans??for a Nov. 18 game against the Saints, but there’s no way of sugarcoating the outcome. The 48-7 reduction is currently part of??NFL history. Being the first league champs to endure a defeat is not something worth fretting about.
Believe it or not, the Saints match mentioned above isn’t the most weight reduction on this list. The defeat??to the??Seattle Seahawks is.
Becoming on??Monday Night Football??just made it even easier. We’re discussing the Philadelphia franchise which had played four consecutive NFC Championship games and was off a Super Bowl appearance. The Dec. 5, 2005, loss dropped the Birds to 5-7 for the season.
The outcome spoiled what was supposed to be a really special night. Before the match, the company hailed the No. 92 jersey of former defensive end??Reggie White.
This one takes us straight back to Dec. 1, 1985. The Birds led the Minnesota Vikings 23-0 first in the next quarter. Quarterback??Ron Jaworski??(aka Jaws) had a blockbuster first half of 204 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. Fans were chalking this one up from the win column. This was until the Vikings scored 28 points and went on to win the match. It was played at the Vet, to make things worse.
The Eagles headed into the Super Bowl. They finished the??1980 season with a 12-4 record. It happened to be the identical year the Philadelphia Phillies??won their first??World Series??in franchise history.
The Eagles run that was great included a triumph over the??Oakland Raiders. But around two weeks later, if Super Bowl XV gathered, Black and the Silver looked like a team that was different. It showed in the score.
Andy Reid (currently the??Kansas City??Chiefs??head coach) is the winningest coach in Eagles history (130-93-1). His final game,??Dec. 30, 2012, against the??New York Giants, but wasn’t so unforgettable. His team dropped 42-7??to finish in the NFC East with a 4-12 record. Call it a sad, sad ending to a tenure that was emphasized by five trips to the NFC Championship match and one Super Bowl appearance (see No. 1).
It looked as though the stars were aligned in 2002. The last soccer event in Veterans Stadium history couldn’t have been bigger. The Eagles were hosting the Tampa Bay Bucs in the conference championship match. Plus the temps favored the home team. What could go wrong?
Nearly that, as the visitors and Super Bowl champs won easily, 27-10. And Eagles fans are still haunted by the Ronde Barber interception return for a touchdown with 3:12 left in the game today.
It looked like the Eagles period had arrived After the 2004 season came about. The franchise was seeking its first Super Bowl title. Terrell Owens mix and the McNabb was among the NFL’s best. The team finished the regular season 13-3. Combined that having a solid defense, and all of the pieces seemed to be perfectly fine to win Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, Fla..
Well, Tom Brady??and the??Patriots, who had been favored by Tom, had other plans. The Birds ended up beating against the spread, but once again fell short of this prize, 24-21.
