Taylor was an EAGLES fan until she started dating a Chiefs player. She's an apostate. And apostates get booed.
You're leaving out 2019 and the EAGLES first Superbowl win over the favored Patriots.

Wasn't a horrible game plan from KC defense. Stop Barkley and put the onus on Hurts to play well.
What half time show?

I had to look this up.
Olivo appeared at the underbelly of Franklin Field to the song "Here Comes Santa Claus" alongside a 50-piece band and Eagles cheerleaders dressed as elves.[1] Olivo was supposed to appear on a large Christmas float featuring eight life-sized fiberglass reindeer, but the float got stuck in the mud, so Olivo was forced to appear in the Christmas pageant on foot.[4] In place of carrying a Santa sack, Olivo carried an equipment bag filled with soggy towels.[7] Philadelphia sports talk radio host Glen Macnow described the incident as "a bad game, it's a cold game, [the fans] are sitting their rear ends in snow and here comes this lousy, little Santa running down the field."
Olivo's cousin, who witnessed the spectacle, stated "[Olivo] comes out, the PA announcer goes through this big thing, 'Here comes Santa Claus. Let's give Santa Claus a rousing welcome, Philadelphia welcome' [and well]...all hell broke loose."[1] Olivo began his appearance by throwing candy canes to the fans, but when he reached the endzone fans started booing and throwing snowballs at him.[3] Fans then soon started throwing other projectiles including beer bottles and hoagies at him.[1] Olivo suspects that he was hit with more than 100 snowballs during his appearance.[1] So many snowballs were thrown at Olivo that his fake white eyebrows, which were part of the costume, were knocked off.[5] However, he took the pelting in jest, shouting at one fan "you're not getting anything for Christmas."[1][5] Olivo later stated that he understood why fans were frustrated and that fans were not booing him, but the disappointing season.[5] There is no video of Eagles fans throwing snowballs at Olivo.[8]
Being an Eagles fan in the 80's through 90's was painful. Had some of the worst teams in existence. Then we had Andy Reid as a coach from 99-2012 who led us to 3 NFC championship games (with McNabb) and Superbowl where we lost to NE. Years later Nick Foles steps in for Carson Wentz who was having an MVP year and wins the Super Bowl to beat Brady playing out of his mind. We sign Hurts, make it back to the Super Bowl and lose to the Chiefs by 3. Make it back there this year and destroy them.
2017 season
Yeah. Philly Philly=Philly Special. One of the greatest plays in NFL history.
Foles and Jason Kelce are Philly icons.
Add me to the list that didn't enjoy the halftime show. Turned off the sound after a while.
I loved the game as an EAGLES fan. I could see someone not liking the game of they weren't an EAGLES fan. The game wasn't exciting. Which was fine with me. Tom Brady is boring. The commercials were boring outside of a few. I liked the sloths. The Kanye West spot was bizarre. Throw in Kung Fu Kenny at halftime...whoa, that was bad.
You know, the one with the black car.
Don't forget the Philadelphia Eagles Vince Papale Cinderella story:
The Hollywood movie version (InVinceable) is, well, Hollywood but interesting to watch and captures the Walter Mitty dreams/devotion city dwellers have for their sports teams.
FYI, my childhood neighbor friend played at Notre Dame with Rudy, LOL. When I talked to him last year, he chuckled that their weight room was in a pole barn. Nothing like today's coddled athletes.

Go Birds! DOMINATE Defensive performance for sure!
I've tried several times to post that same clip but the NFL has it locked down tightly.
They made a movie out of it with Mark Wahlberg.
Which he certainly did.
My wife is not an EAGLES fan. She refers to Hurts as Prune Face. Hurts does take stoicism to an extreme level. He had a hard time processing the win. It's usually the head coach that is the stoic one. Not on the EAGLES.
