Formed in 1933, the Eagles struggled in their early years, but became dominant in the 1940s, making 3 straight championship games from 1947-49, winning titles in the '48 and '49 games. Under the leadership of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, they won their third and most recent title in 1960. The team struggled for many years afterward, turning it around only in the late 1970s. From 1978-81, the team went on a streak of consecutive playoff berths that included a loss in 1980's Super Bowl XV. Under the multitalented quarterback Randall Cunningham, the team had 4 playoff berths between 1988-92, and followed these runs up with 2 more postseason apperances later in the decade. In the early 2000s, the Eagles were one of football's best teams with 5 straight playoff berths from 2000-04. However, Philadelphia's postseason record was dismal and it included 3 consecutive home NFC championship losses. The team finally made the Super Bowl in 2004, but lost a close one to the Patriots. In 2005, the Eagles collapsed, due in part to the Terrell Owens fiasco, and finished with a poor record.
"The Patriots have won their third world championship in four seasons! And all the Philadelphia Eagles can do is sit and wonder. They come up just short in another crucial playoff game, losing Super Bowl XXXIX."

Will always be known as the team with the best fans. Given a second chance, they will shock you with the biggest comeback yet. Carson Wentz leads the team to victory. Their fans will go to every game no matter where it is. Games are celebrated with Monday morning Dunkin' donut runs and the best eagles jersey you have.
person 1: Woah did you watch the The Philadelphia Eagles game last night?
person 2: Yeah they totally killed it. Lets go get Dunkin

The most fucking terrible team in the history of football. they think they're so awesome because they've won 6 straight against the giants but who has 3 super bowls? who was able to beat the patriots (The UNDEFEATED patriots i might add) in the super bowl? also, no matter how much of a dirtbag a particular player is (From T.O. to michael conVICKt) they can always take refuge in knowing the eagles will sign them in order to win a super bowl.
Retarded ass Philadelphia eagles fan: we have 6 straight wins against the midgets! we rule?
Me: who has 3 super bowls? that's right. get back at us when you win the super bowl. if you ever do.
