An Eagles fan in Australia is incredible! Nowhere near the same thing, but as a Toronto faithful, I adopted the Eagles as my favourite team because of my Dad and McNabb playing on a broken ankle. I've been a diehard ever since. I love it when I can get along with fellow fans, then they tell me to go fuck myself for being a Raptors fan
I love that stand and the cowboy one where they had to hold for like 5 plays. When you said you were a fan for that long I thought the post would either be about how bad that rhodes times were or how awful the 01-03 championship games were
I was at that game as a kid! My father and his friends all had season tickets in the first row of the 500 level (very first seats in the second level of the standium above the boxes) and whenever one of them was sick or busy, I got to go.
You can actually see our seats at 2:30 when they're introducing the defensive starters. In the bottom right of the screen where the locker room tunnel visually intersects with the 500 level seats.
I'm one of those tiny blurry dots!
The stadium was electric during that goal line stand. It was ufortunately at the other end of the stadium but the whole place was rocking from excitement. There's nothing like old school bone crushing defense.
Youāre not alone! Had a few Aussies come up to talk to me about my Eagles hat when I was in Tokyo recently. One even claimed to be the biggest Birds fan on the planet.
Not hard to believe, it's hard being a fan when the only way you can watch each game is to call in sick on Monday and plum the depths of the Internet for an illicit feed.
I'm an Eagles fan from Florida. Growing up in the late 90s, my main core of friends were from Philly so I just gravitated towards that as well. Never been there in my life, financials have never been quite right. I don't get to travel a lot. One day though.
Go directly to 50:00
You'll see the Cards get a 1st and Goal at the 3 yard line, immediately get a 2 yard run to the 1 yard line and then the next NINE AND A HALF MINUTES is the Birds D stuffing them *over and over* for seven goddamn plays in a row.
It's a thing of fuckin' beauty.
Thatās awesome! I have been a Birds diehard since 2011. Never watched football before then. Saw the birds the first time in 2016 against the Bengals. It was a blowout Bengals were up like 21 by the end of the first quarter. Who Deys all around me with me Wentz Jersey and Eagles beanie. Loved it! Go Birds!!!!

fellow fan from TO since 2000. hop on the wagon and never got off! i am noticing a lot of TO fans on this sub lately, which is great!
At first I read this as TO being Terrell Owens instead of Toronto and was confused. š
lmao i can see why you would think that! haha ā¦ Iām a fan of Owens, too so it could very well be double meaning lol

I still hear Merrillās call from that game in my head. āTHEY STOP HIM AGAIN!! THEY STOP HIM AGAIN!!!ā
I just watched that game on YouTube again, not too long ago. Madden gave Dallas all the shit afterwards. It was awesome
Love reading stories like this
31.7 years as an eagles fan.

My first game in person was this season. 200 level seats for a 30-0 win over Elway's Broncos. Never looked back.
Hell of a commute each weekend for me though
