The Eagles: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow | Eagles 1968 Season Recap 

The first 40 seconds summarize 1968 pretty well.

Bears fan here but I do have an amazing admiration for the Eagles!

When men took the field and acted like men. Today players act like immature attention seeking children.

I’d like to thank The Eagles for being so cool to us. I just checked out the YT channels of our rivals and none of em are uploading stuff like this. I’m working my way all the way through. There’s some missing years but this is great stuff! 👍🏼🤟🏼

Eagles are my team since 1988. I was born in 1976 but l love old school footage of my team despite how bad we stunk!!!!

Was the last game against the Vikings the infamous game where Eagle fans pelted Santa Claus with snowballs? I briefly saw Santa at the beginning

Please keep these coming, I wasnt born till 79, it cool to learn about the teams my dad watched back in his day.

Tom Woodeshick was a beast.

At 16:50, the Thanksgiving Day Classic at Detroit, admittedly, the field was a bit moist.

The kelly green helmet with the silver wings was the best design ever. IMHO

I remember a lot of these games during 1968. I remember the Eagles were losing all of their games, and there was talk they would get the number 1 draft pick. In September 1968 the most talked about college player was a guy who played for Purdue who decimated Notre Dame for the second year in a row, that year. Eventually by October people were talking about a player out West with initials in his name. When the season ended, the Eagles got the second draft pick, and the guy with initials in his name, OJ went to Buffalo, while the Eagles picked Leroy Keyes of Purdue.

When they beat the Saints they lost the chance to draft OJ

Bob Brown was so awesome it was scary, lol. I could spend an hour watching clips of Bob destroying opponents, like Godzilla gone crazy. If he'd hit me with that forearm, I'd be dead, lol! It was a sight to see. No doubt, injuries hurt them that year. I remember the Thanksgiving game, especially the muffed placekick and Sam Baker's run. Middle linebacker, Dave Lloyd, in old films, was like Larry Stallings, of the Cards, or Dave Wilcox, of the 49ers; always around the ball and usually in on the play. I think he played in The Pro Bowl in 1969. Liked that shade of green the Eagles had then.

Thanksgiving game is the first Eagles game I remember watching from beginning to end. I was 9 years old. Fly Eagles Fly.

Always like the jazzy background music in 1960s NFL videos..

too cool , waaaay cool , always cool.......these old films are the best !!!

WHY ARE YOU UPLOADING VIDEOS FROM THE WORST DECADE OF EAGLES FOOTBALL???? We traded HOFer Sonny Jergensen for Norm Snead. Kill me.

With the way the Eagles played today, it made me come back to this video of our worst known squad since the takeover of Pete Rozell as commissioner back in the Eisenhower Administration in place of Burt Bell back in 1960. Seriously, with the way we have been playing dating back to late last year, an Eagles dark ages is set to come soon considering our ineptitude.

tom woodeshick ......... one of the toughest runners of the sixties .............bill brown .....dave osborne ....ronnie bull ....tom matte .....jimmy taylor .......... i know i m missing several .......but woody........ the rumor was he used to fore arm parking meters ........... tuff .....or nuts ......who cares .....the guy was terrific .......loved the eagles of he sixties ,,.,...not very good .....didn t matter also ...... just great uneees too ...

That screengrab at 0:50 is me during 2020. 😖

In over 50 years of watching football, I ve only seen this play once. It happened in Superbowl IX when Tarkentons pass was batted back to him and he threw a strike to John Gilliam. Since it happened behind the line of scrimmage I figured it would stand, but it was ruled a pass for Tarkenton to Tarkenton and called back. Does anyone know the end result of this play ? 22:56

When they won tbe last two games they couldn't draft O.J.!Instead they drafted that stiff Keyes.

1969 thru 73 or 74 were the white helmets with green wings. Yes, the teams were bad, but I remember those helmets very fondly from my youth.

John Huarte Heisman Trophy winner in 1964 at Notre Dame

Woodeschick was well on his way to a 1,000 yd season, until he got ejected for fighting in the final game of the season.

off season jobs. Back in the days when these players had to have 3 jobs.

0:01 To this video sets the tone. Number 37 showed why real men played this game back then.

The Eagles were ranked in the top 10 worst teams of all time. It was shown on NFL Network. One guy said, "Had the 1968 Philadelphia Eagles applied for federal funds?" "They would have gotten them." "That team was a disaster!" They won their last two games of the 1968 season. One of them was against the Saints. This prevented the Eagles from drafting O.J. Simpson in 1969. Can't win for losing.🏈💯

Wasn't Scarpati the same guy who held the ball for Tom Dempsey and his 63-yard field goal?

12:40 Steele's vs eagles

This might be hard to believe, for some, but Tom Selleck's roommate in College and who was future TV and movie actor and also was in the last episode of Magnum PI in 1988, and was briefly mentioned in this video. FYI, I noticed that some women that I met would much rather watch that roommate of Tom Selleck, than watch Tom Selleck.

Woodeshick was a bruiser. Yet he never gets mentioned as one of the NFLs stronger power backs. 6 1, 220.

the win over the Saints murdered the Eagles chances of drafting OJ, as his uncle Homer would've said "do'h".

Doesn't matter how bad they were, I love watching videos like this because the field and back of the helmets are devoid of anyone 'mattering'

Why bother with a review of such a terrible season

I attended the Steelers/Eagles game. The press called in the O.J. Bowl since the loser would remain winless and in line for the top draft pick which was expected to be O. J. Simpson.

The Eagles had those uniforms from 1965- 1969 , even with a white helmet

DEM BUMSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16:32

16:50

Loved Bob Brown & Mel Tom !!

Which game was it that Woody was helped to the sidelines with a bloody head wound? 0:46

1:24. Doc's 10 second examination = "Ah, I think it will be alright".

How do we lose Bob Brown?

Alvin Hammond, school teacher. Len Rhode of the 49ers, same thing. They had the first semester off and taught the second.
