The Eagles' 5 worst moments of 2010, in video

by JimmyK on Apr 11, 2011 7:04 AM EDT

We'll get to the 5 best, but first let's look at the 5 worst moments of 2010:

5) The Opening Day Massacre - The Eagles lost Leonard Weaver for the season on an utterly gruesome leg injury (don't worry... I didn't include his leg snapping back in the wrong direction in the video). They also lost another key starter, Jamaal Jackson, for the season, Kevin Kolb for a few weeks, and Stewart Bradley for a few weeks after a scary moment where he looked a little like when you knock out Don Flemenco in Mike Tyson's Punchout. And oh yeah, they lost the game.

4) McNabb's return to Philly - It's pretty funny in hindsight to think that after Week 4, the Redskins were in first place in the NFC East, as McNabb so gleefully points out in this next video. Despite having a pretty bad game, McNabb decided to call the Eagles stupid for trading him (although not necessarily in those exact words). Still, this was an enormous game at the time, and this loss to a bad team sent the Eagles to a disappointing 2-2 record.

3) Disasters inside the opponents' 5 - It was the 3rd quarter and the Eagles were up 9 with first and goal from the 3, looking to go up 16 and put the Titans away, when GAAAHHH!!! Really? That play aside, it would be foolish to mention the Titans game and not mention Kenny Britt. Similarly, the Eagles had 2nd and goal from the Bears 4, looking to take the lead on their abomination of a football field, when Michael Vick had his passed tipped and intercepted by Chris Harris. The Bears then marched right down the field and scored, making it an 8 point game going into the half. Two HUGE plays, contributing mightily to 2 losses.

2) Tuesday Night Football - With the Eagles contending for a potential 2 seed in the NFC playoff race, they completely laid an egg under weird circumstances which pushed the game to Tuesday night, against a banged up team with absolutely nothing to play for. No play summed up the game better than Antoine Winfield's sack/fumble/return/TD, which silenced an already quiet stadium.

1) The End

Apologies in advance for this.

Most masochist post ever. Not quite sure how you handle making those videos.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

The crappy thing is...

I witnessed every one of those moments live. In Tennessee the titans fans were quiet and crossing their arms while Eagles chants filled the stadium up until that fumble.

Oh, okay

The jealousy factor simmered down some.

Either that or I was thinking maybe you’re the quality control coach lol

Fortunately...

we have plenty to choose from for our best 5 moments…

The flawless games vs. Atlanta and Redskins take two…

Shady McCoy’s 4th quarter against the Giants round 1

DeSean’s 91 yard TD reception in Mike Jenkins’ face with a gimpy leg

and of course the last 7 minutes of the Giants round 2…

and those are off the top of my head

Didn't we do 10 best moments already?

Oh wait, those were the 10 best of the Reid era, courtesy of Joe_D.

Eh, it’s the offseason, can’t do it enough.

Happy Birthday to me!

What a wonderful present!

At least I know the best moments definitely outweigh this video collection. Looking forward to that post.

Kinda glad work restricts youtube from us, or I’d be in agony all day rewatching this.

I don’t want to throw salt in the wounds…but could you imagine of Cooper somehow caught that ball? He and Vick would be etched in Eagles history and they would both be heroes and the tide of the rest of the playoffs would probably be completely different.

I firmly believe

whichever team won that Eagles-Packers game would have won the Super Bowl. I said it at the time on BGN and it proved to be true.

Hate to say I cried after Tramon Williams’ pick as my douche of a friend just laughed.

I think

Jimmy is a troll in disguise. A very sneaky, cunning troll who knows how and when to hit us just right.

Actually, I thoroughly enjoyed this post. Similar to what birds’n’raiders said, you can’t enjoy the sunshine without the rain!

Why?

Why Jimmy, why? Aren’t there enough Cowboys fans in the world to post these gut wrenching memories? Aren’t there enough natural disasters? Cancer? War? Syphilis?

Please make it go away. Say it ain’t so Joe, say it ain’t so…

Sweet reference

and Stewart Bradley for a few weeks after a scary moment where he looked a little like when you knock out Don Flemenco in Mike Tyson’s Punchout.

Surprised I’m the first to single it out for extra love.
