1983 Week 14 - LA Rams at Philadelphia Eagles

[@barkley3407]

Thanks JJ!!! Much appreciated. Like hopping in the old DeLorean and going back in time...

[@garysiegel6125]

Thanks for requesting - haven't seen the Woodruff TD since seeing the highlights that night

[@shanetrimble9265]

Great way to put it

[@molzerib]

@@garysiegel6125 Yeah. Some "83 Eagles games were blacked out due to non-sellouts. This was one of them.

[@garysiegel6125]

@@molzerib Yep I remember those days hoping that the local tv station would buy up tickets so that the game was blacked out. Last black out that I can recall was 90

[@kevinshea2097]

Hard to believe how long ago this was me and a friend decided to go to this game last minute thank God it rained because we might not have been able to get tickets it was a Rainey day but later changed over to snow so we stayed at a hotel we did get some autographs from eagle players alot of the players went to the bar at the hotel we stayed at

[@dgendvil]

One of Max Runager''s & Carl Hairston's last games for the team.

Eagles pull off the upset for their only home victory of the 1983 season. Also their only win over the season's final 10 weeks

[@Musicvidsetc]

Yeah, the 1983 season was depressing. It quickly became abundantly clear to anyone that the championship window that Vermeil opened was now closed and the team would have to be completely rebuilt in an era in which there was no free agency.

[@Musicvidsetc]

@@jamiejohnson4524 Excellent points. Hindsight is 20/20, but w/ Vermeil leaving and many of the starters from the 1980 SB rapidly aging the Eagles should've have had a massive fire sale of older talent for draft picks. It would've been the perfect time too, since the '83 draft was the most talent laden draft in history. The Eagles could've even traded back, gotten more draft picks, and still taken Kelly or Marino. Also, taking Michael Haddix over multiple HOFers and perennial Pro Bowlers really hurt them later on.

[@madrecka]

The Eagle's struggles from 1983-1985 lead to Philly hiring the Late Buddy Ryan in 1986 from the Super Bowl Champs Bears.

[@Musicvidsetc]

@@madrecka Buddy and his teams were both entertaining and frustrating, but in the end they were a failure as they won exactly ZERO playoff games. Even the much maligned RIch Kotite, who replaced Buddy, actually won a playoff game.

[@madrecka]

@@Musicvidsetc Yep the 92 Eagles beat the Saints in NOLA in the NFC Wild Card game that year before getting stomped out by the eventual SB Champions Cowboys in the Divisional Round.

[@magellaniclight9098]

Rams have two Superbowls and in the hunt.

[@JimmyH91]

Peep special teamer/reserve LB Bill Cowher, number 57 for the Eagles in 1983.
