You already mentioned the good ones: Wilbert's run, bounty bowl, stopping Emmitt Smith on 4th down twice, Lito's pick-6, and pickle juice!

Snow bowl game where they pelted Jimmy and the boys with snowballs. Anytime Bobby Taylor just shut down and shut up Micheal Irvin. There’s a few others out there.

I think the top two are clearly the NFC Championship game in 1980 that got us to our first Super Bowl and the 44-6 beatdown that was virtually a playoff game. I agree with many of the other choices as honorable mentions. There is one other game I'd like to mention. That was the 1979 game in Dallas. It was the first time the Eagles actually won a game in Dallas in well over a decade. Disgusting blowout losses had been the annoying standard. It was also the first time I ever saw them win in Dallas. It was Monday Night. Howard Cosell. National audience. It was a huge setting. We were just starting to get good and that win really signaled to the world that we had arrived as true contenders. That was the night that Tony Franklin kicked a 59-yard field goal. I was a freshman in college living in a dorm and I just remember how excited I was that entire evening. Just a great, great memory.

Favorite clear memory was the 4th and 1 double stuff.  I do remember Wilbert, but not much else about that game.  If we only win two games a year, make sure it's against Dallas.

Too many to pick one.  I’ll add one that hasn’t been mentioned yet (at least I don’t think it has):

2006 … the Eagles go into Dallas on Christmas Day where Jeff Garcia leads them to a 23-7 win to clinch a playoff spot. 

Never forget your first Super experience.   Wilbert's run (197) Harris' follow-up, Vermeil on the sideline: "You know where he's going?  He's going to the Super Bowl!"

The following week was great too as the Lions upset Dallas in Dallas and clinched the division just as we were starting the Atlanta game. That game turned out to be Vick’s last as a Falcon.

I was there. Wilbert had another huge run in the 4th Quarter. 54 yards. Leroy Harris our other back rushed for over 100 yards and a TD. The Eagles Defense was lights out after the first Dallas TD. Carl Hairston and Claude Humphrey each sacked Danny White. It was freezing cold, and windy. Jaws did not complete a lot of passes and there were too many drops and overthrows. Rodney Parker caught most of the passes. Randy Logan and Herm Edwards played well. Roynell Young picked off Danny White late to ice the victory. Our bare footed kicker made 2 fg's. Eagles won 20-7. SB! 

Now the Eagles could have learned from this game last week. Run the ball down their throats. 

Dallas had players like Tony Dorsett, Buch Johnson, Drew Pearson, Ed Too Tall Jones, Randy White, and Harvey Martin with Dennis Thurman etc. on Defense.  Eagles Dominated them.

Forgot about that one.  At the time, I was thinking about doing that fake kneeldown, but only Buddy would do something like that.  Even Terry Hoage with some big plays. 

What a team they had!  The late '80's were my favorite in Eagles fandom.  2017 had the better ending though.

The James Willis INT in Dallas in 96 is up there because it was my first time seeing them win in Dallas. 44-6 would be higher though because I was there, and that game was played on my 1 year anniversary. 

I was 7 or 8 years old for the Willis interception. That was the clinching moment for my fandom, so that's my favorite. The sheer terror of Aikman about to end a game we actually did well in, and the 180 degree swing in emotion when the int happened. Not to make you feel old....

Summerall’s call of that play was horrid. "What a disaster!” Gee, I wonder who he was rooting for.

I would have been 19 at the time. I just turned 46 a couple days ago. Or as I sometimes put it, I turned 25 for the 21st straight year.

Lito Sheppard Beats Dallas 102 Yard Interception Return.  It was the game TO played for the Cowboys and first game back in Philly.

I was at that game sitting down at about the 15yd line and not high up and Lito made the int right in front of me.  I couldn't talk for two days after that game.

Glad you now have the courage to talk about it. 

That was an amazing play. I was in a sports bar with other Eagles fans and some Cowboys fans talking trash got real quiet.

Dear old Dad used to always say he was 36 whenever anyone asked - no matter that he was well into his '50s.   After he died, I took up the mantle, so I've been 36 for 20 years now.
