  • This is remarkable quality! And who is that play-by-play?  His voice is awesome.

  • @robidoux87 Pat Summerall is play by play and Tom Brookshier is the color man. They were CBS's #1 team

  • I agree. This is truly THE GREATEST PLAY EVER by the Philadelphia Eagles. Only because it has been since 1960 that they have won a championship. Giants rock. Eagles suck. Amen. Halleluiah.

  • CHeck out Stan Walters turning the end, and Carmichael's block on the cornerback.... that and Wilbert's vision made that play.

  • I still get a chill watching this. 1978eagles nails why this play is so memorable.

  • And for that play, I bought his jersey.

  • THE greatest play in eagles history.

  • anybody who says this ISNT the best play needs a lesson in eagles history desperately

  • 4th and 26?

  • i miss the vet

  • The only time in Eagles history that they really defeated the Cowboys.....

  • @qmcsing

    actually the Eagles have beat the Cowboys quite a few times

  • @Muslim2077 I know they had, but this was their only victory out of four playoff games vs Dallas......

  • nice video

  • @IWillStompYouOut eagles kick ass and your favorite team proably sucks

  • @firesoup23 By "kick ass" do you mean currently or traditionally, because I hate to break it to you, but they currently suck ass and traditionally haven't done much either compared to teams that do traditionally kick ass (Niners, Steelers, Cowboys, Packers and more).

  • @commenttardi know they are not doing good but eagles are better than the colts!

  • @commenttard Teams that traditionally kick ass? Here's a reality check. The last Niners Championship was 1994! The last Cowboys one was 1995! And the Packers, before last year, hadn't won one since what, 1996? Yeah, they DID kick ass before all their eras ended. All teams have their rise and decline. The Eagles won 3 Championships between 1948 and 1960! EVERYBODY has their time, their rise and fall.

    The Packers went 26 years without a SuperBowl from 1969-1995!

  • @campaigner111 What a shame that you probably missed their "Glory Years" of 1948-1960 and their next "Glory Years" of 2048- 2098 when they will lose 6 more Super Bowls.

  • NFC Championship Game: 2nd play of the Game: !!

    There's still a dent in my ceiling where I hit my head: ouch

    and almost went through it: Go Eagles 1980

  • Awesome but GPE idk.

  • What a terrible description. It's not *just* a Wilbert Montgomery 42 yard TD run. It's a Wilbert Montgomery 42 yard TD run on his first touch of the 1980 NFC title game against the Dallas effing Cowboys. Come on brotha.

  • Against the Dallas Cowboys? OWNED

  • LOL, eagles got their Asses Owned to them by the Raiders in the SuperBowl.

  • I miss those uniforms!

  • Hey I got Montgomery's Throwback Eagles Jersey.

  • Unless they were alive when this happened...they won't understand this being the greatest play!!!

  • uhhhhhhhh...Desean? in new york? walk off TD? to complete the biggest comeback in eagle history?

    you might wanna change the title

  • please remember that Wilbert was on a training table about 30 minutes prior to kickoff. he was banged up the entire season and chances of him playing were questionable. So, what did he do? He took the first touch he had 42 yards, to the house, against their arch nemisis, at home, in the cold, in the game that decides who plays in the Super Bowl...doesn't get much greater than that...

  • @phillyeaglesphan phillies CHOKED

    LMFAO!!!

  • @gfscarface13 ...and the Cowboys had their heads handed to them last Sunday night, and if you are from Dallas, how'd those Rangers do in the World Series...seem to think they were 1 strike away TWICE and sh!t the bed...at least our 2008 WS ring is still shiny...after 16+ years, those SB rings do get tarnished....

  • @phillyeaglesphan Not a rangers fan.

    Phillies CHOKED! LMFAO!!!

    All those wins and so much talk from phillies fans and they blew it!

    BWHAHAHAHHAHHHHAHHHA

    philadelphia city of Sports Chokes

  • I agree with 1978eagles. Pure athleticism doesn't make a play great. Yes, Jackson's play was amazing, but football is deeper than athleticism. But that is the common misconception made by all these new cats claiming to be Eagles fans.

  • Deseans play is better! Where is tat kind of blocking for the eagles?

  • This is not even close to the greatest eagles play ever

  • Why would this b the greatest play ever?

  • I was there freezing my A** off and will never forget that I was only 10years old

  • That's the greatest play ever?..... haha definitely not....

  • u know whats funny, that guy who is shown in the begining of the video, #9 pisarcik, he was the qb who fumbled the ball for the giants in the first miracle in the meadowlands.

  • RB has a clear lane to the endzone and it is the greatest eagles play ever??? My ass

  • thee best play though?

  • Philly is the best!

  • turn your volume up all the way and listen to that crowd =)

  • That's not the greatest play ever... come on.

    But thanks for posting this. Ahhh Wilbert Montgomery was a great one! :)

  • @kisscactus right,cant be the greatest...i saw a randall cunningham clip where he almost got sacked in his end zone and ducked and did the defender NAAASSSTY!!!then threw the ball like 60 yards downfield to a reciever,prolly was barnett..that play was sick

  • It IS the greatest Eagles play ever, not because of the design of the play itself, but because of what it meant at the time. Look beyond the surface and set your mind back to 1980. The hatred of the Cowboys. Tom Landry. Decades of mediocrity. The over-achieving Eagles, a team with ZERO bonafide superstars. All you have to do is listen to the crowd. Have you ever heard a louder crowd reaction to a play? I doubt it. That alone makes it the greatest Eagles play...ever.

  • @1978eagles Well ... you know ... you do make a compelling argument.

    Anyway, I do remember that play at age 9. The Eagles won! :)

  • @1978eagles And you needed to enjoy it, because when your Eagles made it to the SB in early 1981 that team from Oakland laid down the law on them (and the rest of the NFL).

  • @rayjr62 Yeah well hey, the Raiders beat them in SB XV, but the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl that year by finally beating Dallas, their longtime rival who before had always gotten the better of them. Can't you at least give them credit for that?

    Damn man, I'm in the Dallas camp all the way, but I'm smart enough to give credit where credit is due. The Eagles were a kickass team under Vermeil.

  • Couldn't have said it any better! I love the Cowboys and hated the Eagles back in that time, but I also had a damn lot of respect for them! As you said, no superstars or super talent, just Dick Vermeil and a kickass work ethic that finally got his team past the Cowboys and into the Super Bowl.

    As much as I hated this game because Dallas lost, I was happy for the Eagles that their hard work and belief in themselves paid off. Great moment in the NFL, greatest play in Eagles history by far!

  • @1978eagles I have to beg to differ. This might be more important, but the Miracle at the Meadowlands 2 a few years ago might be the most amazing comeback I have ever seen...And that runback from Jackson...I must be a sports fan if that brings tears to my eyes. Where has that team gone?

  • Was expecting to see Herm Edwards.

  • left guard totally pulled.

  • @tamsanqa11 LG did not pull on that play at all

    he went straight ahead with a drive block

    the play didn't go left whatsoever, and nobody on the Oline pulled in any direction

  • @Zaxxon2008 By pulled I mean before the snap he moved.  What is the proper term for that. Illegal motion?

  • @tamsanqa11 that would be a fasle start call

    and nobody false starts on this play

  • actually, it's the LT that moves before the snap & probably should have been called. once a lineman puts his hand on the ground and establishes his position he cannot move/rock/reposition. and if you look at it the LT does rock back before the snap, after putting hand down initially. Not something a ref/official (i am one) wants to call but it could lead to defense encroaching. it would be false start. but as cowboy fan, bad defense anyway. nowadays officials call those slight movements more

  • I miss the Kelly Green Eagles jerseys

  • My fellow ACU Wildcat!!!

  • I disagree that it was the greatest play in Eagles history. It might have been the most instrumental or significant (based upon the importance of the game), but I say the greatest individual play is Randal Cunningham's miracle TD pass at Buffalo in 1990. I think he threw it from the Bills end zone after somehow dodging a very heavy pass rush. What was it, 97 yards (over 100 since he threw it from the end zone)?

  • There must be 60 Cowboy fans for this video to be disliked as much. GO EAGLES!!!

  • this is bull shit

  • i think miracle at the meadowlands was better

  • this wasnt even that good. if it was a one-handed catch or a QB sneak for a TD it would of been good but you see running backs get long up the middle touchdowns all the time

  • @Krazy48Killer It wasn't the greatest play per say, but might have been the most significant play in Eagles history. The reason is that this play put the Eagles ahead of the hated Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Championship game and the Eagles never looked back. This got the crowd, team and everyone into it and the Cowboys were buried 20-7 and the game wasn't even as close as the score.

    

  • @KKauffman1969 well i think maybe the creator could of told us something cause i from ATL and i dont really pay much attention to the eagles so how would i have known that

  • i think the greatest play in eagle history is when chuck bednarik demolished frank gifford in 1978

  • watch the second receiver down.... what the hell was that? 0:09

  • @futureneck4life that is called a "cut block," a block commonly thrown by smaller players such as receivers or backs who are incapable of drive or reach blocking. it is legal unless two blockers are involved

  • Wilbert was very underrated, imo. Marshall Faulk always reminded me of him (& of Joe Washington too.). That probably explains why Vermeil traded for Faulk while he was w/St. Louis now that I think about it. He wanted a back like Montgomery, who could do it all.

  • I realize Cowboys-Eagles is a serious rivalry, but come on! Instead of insulting each other, admire the excellent block by the right tackle to seal the running lane for Montgomery. Beautiful block, got his man turned, held him off. That's how you seal to the inside.

  • Let me guess, the eagles got their ASSES OWNED to them by the Raiders in the SuperBowl.

  • damn you know that was a long time ago when the receivers are in the old school sprinter stance

  • LOL Pisarcik at the beginning!

  • Comment removed

  • Were was the defense? that was the easyiest play of all time.

  • dam i cant wait for football season to start

  • Did you see how they just pushed that D-Line back? RG and RT did an excellent job. Shame the same can't be said about our current RG and RT...

  • THAT DUDE WAS FAAAST

  • He is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful runners I have ever seen in my life. Of all the Eagles teams (I've been a fan since 1966) This is my favorite team. Jaworski, Montgomery, Carmichael, Bergey (The best linebacker EVER!) What a team man!

  • @bangitslo I love Bergey, but Best linebacker ever? Chuck Bednarik, dude! Remember how he slaughtered Frank Gifford?

  • Man that hole was huge. he could have ran 100 yards and no one still would have touched him.

  • the cheerleaders look like power rangers

  • Brian Westrbrook did that many times? Sorry i'm only 15

  • @SiradeAssassin When I was 15 Wilbert Montgomery was my Brian Westbrook...

  • The Eagles haven't won a championship since 1960. A crushing 50 years of failure. 

  • @dallas5sb at least they are not as bad as the cubs

  • 19-60!!!! 19-60!!!!! 19-60!!!!!

  • this was the eagles superbowl beating the dallas cowboys

  • SHITladelphia SUCKS!!!!

  • This video is in great condition considering the age of it. Was this taped on Betamax?

  • One of the most well executed plays ive ever seen.

  • qb telegraphs who's getting the ball and they still kill it

  • Wilbert was no Tony Dorsett, but he used to give us fits. Speaking of end zone celebrations, what if DeSean Jackson had tripped and fell while he was running parallel with the end zone in the latest Miracle in the Meadowlands. My money says that Eagles fans would've murdered him. What a fuckin play - what a fuckin comeback.

  • WR Fail 0:10

  • I'm a diehard Eagles fan, and I've heard all the stories about the rowdy crowd at the old Vet. I never got to see a game in the Vet, but boy do I wish I could have. The footage of old games shows the crowd and they seem to be ten times as crazy and passionate as the crowd at the Linc. Don't get me wrong, the Linc is nice and all, but it's not the same as the Vet.

  • @fassman316 I went to EVERY Eagles game at the Vet. Wilbert Montgomery was one of the most beautiful runners you'd ever see in your life. Such a disciplined back. Hit the hole with lightning speed and was a threat to take it all the way home every single time he touched the ball. He ran such beautiful routes with the most graceful cutbacks you could witness. I loved the Randall teams, I really liked the Donovan teams, but the Jaworski led teams were my favorites

  • @bangitslo I liked Montgomery but you have to admit they have never had a RB as good as Westbrook

  • @Fondozzi2011 Westbrook was good, but give Mccoy a chance. He has potential

  • @Fondozzi2011 Ricky waters was pretty good and carried the offense himself for several years.

  • Montgomery was a BEAST

  • Some people say this play the loudest moment ever at the Vet

  • What??? is that amazing probably for those days cause the eagles couldn't play so that was like the longest run for them lol

  • NFC Championship game 1981

  • pat summerall sounds different here, when was this 1978??

  • Comment removed

  • whenever the cowboys and their fans are caught in a tough spot what do they point to ---> 5 rings <--- LOL. let me tell u something cowboys fans, if u think we Eagles fans give half a shit about ur rings let me redirect u to ur 4-8 record

  • How Bout Those Eagles !

  • @MrSouthphillyitalian Yeah. but none of it would matter. Two weeks after this they would get bitch slapped by my Raiders. LOL

  • @rayjr62 Who ?

  • We were inspired by the upcoming Eagles-Cowboys game on Sunday night to feature this video on PhillyPhanatics-dot-com. Please also check out our Top 10 list of Eagles victories over the Cowboys...I wonder where this game landed on the list?!??

  • wow! wasn't even touched, could've driven a semi through that hole. great run!

  • Thats the eagles Greatest play ever? no wonder the eagles suck

  • @2r3notgoodas1 the 4th & 26 play against the Green Bay Packers in the 2003 Playoffs was probably the Greatest.

  • was this in the vet?

  • @The319cid Probably.

  • moron? look at the originanal post cryboy fan who can't get their facts straight

  • I was at ACU when Wilbert was there. He was so much fun to watch when he was healthy, no one could catch him.

  • I guess all the sorry ass fans have to hold onto is last centuries Superbowls they haven't been shit lately

  • @ded4pnt You're a Moron.

  • hahaha they had Pisarchik! oh, the irony..

  • all that's missing from this clip in the Eagle fan from NFL Films saying.

    We want Dallas. Dallas, we hate you.

    Dallas, right here.... AT THE VET !!!

  • Remember this game, Cowboys were forced to wear their blue jerseys, in the 1980 NFC Championship game, the so called blue jersey jinx.

  • @crcracker1 i aggre cowboys suck i like the eagles and colts and a bassball team pillies

  • @crcracker1 This was the last time the Cowboys wore this style blue jersey. Because of the so called "jinx" they changed the uniforms to a darker blue and with more detail around the numbers for the 1981 season.

  • im a steeler fan but i show respect to other great teams and players

  • GREAT QUALITY FOR THE YEAR FILMED!!!! WOW!!!

  • Its funny how cowboys fans fall back on championships from 16 years ago when they dont have anything to say about the cowboys NOW! NOT THEN!!!! There is no one on that team with a ring! (oh wait! Jerry Jones wrinkled ass!) But hes not on the field, maybe he should be qb. Probably better than ROMO!

  • Cunningham to Fred Barnett from Buffalo's endzone was the best Eagles play ever, or Herman Edeards fumble return for a TD against the Giants, not this fucking shit.

  • Eagles are better than the Cowboys 4-2 Eagles 1-4 Cowboys just watch some bandwagon fan immediatly throws the super bowl card haha idk about you but i live in the present and Dallas is one of the worst teams in the league. So you can stay in your dark corner with ur super bowl trophies that u never seen them win.

  • @WORSTEVERR You dont make sense kid, what a surprise for an eagles fan not to make sense.

    Isn't the SuperBowl what you play for? Yes, so dont get mad we bring up SuperBowls cause you know your eagles Fail in that department. Everybody lives in the present you Dummy, SuperBowl Trophies is the Present too, cause no one can take them away.

    You dont like it, call the eagles and talk to reid to Stop Choking in the Playoffs and Actually get it done in the playoffs win the Damn SuperBowl for once.

  • @gfscarface13 hey we've bin saying for years that reid sucks were the fuck have you bin but your fucking cowboys have bin suckin dick for 16 years so don't talk shit

  • @mizyman Reid is a good coach. Try our coach wade, his awful. You can have him if you want.

    16 Years? The Cowboys won the SuperBowl 14 Years ago. When is your last Championship? 1960.

  • @gfscarface13 alright the cowboys have more super bowls? so? Eagles are still a better team in present where everyone lives

  • eagles season will End the same way it has Ended the last 50 Years.

  • @gfscarface13 04 they went to the super bowl im cool with that if they play in the super bowl IN DALLAS STADIUM xD thats pretty embarassing

  • @WORSTEVERR They lost the superbowl. eagles are 0 for 2 in the SUperBowls. Whats your point?

    eagles wont win the superbowl this season.

  • @gfscarface13 they got a good chance haha unlike the 1-4 Cryboys xD HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS I see why u play the super bowl card in every argument you act like the Cowboys have the most championships

  • @WORSTEVERR More than the Sorry Ass e-gals thats for sure.

  • @gfscarface13 u need a shoulder to cry on? xDDD

  • Comment removed

  • @Standown129 What are you talking about?

  • Comment removed

  • @Standown129 Are you an eagles fan?

    Dont you know eagles history?

    Im a Cowboys fan and I know eagles history more than you.

    eagles lost Two superbowls in 1981 & 2005.

    eagles last championship in 1960.

  • @gfscarface13 booo screw the cowboys!!!

  • @megandashfoxdotnet

    Your fellow eagles fan below doesn't even know eagles history. I fucking know eagles history and im a Cowboys fan.

    Also cause there's Not much history in eagles franchise too, LMFAO!!!

  • Put the Eagles vs. Cowboys crap aside for a second. Take another look at the video. What does Montgomery do with the ball when he gets into the end zone? He drops it, and celebrates like a true sportsman with some fans and his teamates, and then leaves the GD field. If this happened today, we'd have someone beating his chest, pointing to the sky or doing some ridiculous dance, ON HIS OWN, not giving a shit about his team, or the fans so long as he was in the spotlight. What a joke.

  • @1978eagles Relax old timer, I dont care if NFL Players celebrate now as long as it doesn't get out of hand and arrogant towards the opposing team, than thats different. Nothing wrong with a little Fun, thats why some people call the NFL No Fun League cause of opinions like yours.

    The 1999 Rams had their whole O-Line dancing end zone when they scored a TD. They changed the rules after that.

    As long as they dont over do it, thats fine.

  • Old timer my ass! Hey, I don't mind celebrating. My point, and you missed it, was that years ago IF players celebrated, they did so as a team. Your Rams example is a good one. Remember Washington's "Fun Bunch?" There's a another example. Houston's Billy "white shoes" Johnson did his own thing, but he was the exception. Today, it's all about "look at ME." Similarly, signaling "first down" (pointing down the field) when they make a play, any play..regardless if the TEAM is down by 21. Agree?

  • @1978eagles Yeah.

  • @1978eagles Great observation! I wish more fans and players would recognize that. No one's a sportsman anymore. It's all one big circus now. All show, no dignity.

  • @1978eagles true shit... but there still are some players that jump into the stands

  • @1978eagles you said a mouthful brother

  • @1978eagles Dont let DJ in the ENDZONE AND HE CANT CELEBRATE how ever he pleases :) LOVE IT LETS GO EAGLESSSSSSSSSS

  • @1978eagles shut up, when players point to the sky, theyre thanking god u fkin idiot

  • @1978eagles @1978eagles shut up, when players point to the sky, theyre thanking god u fkin idiot

  • @1978eagles ..Yep and that's exactly why the NFL has turned me off. All show,glitz. no substance anymore.

  • @1978eagles Have you not heard of the lambeau leep? I'd say that is celebrating with their fans.

  • @1978eagles so? Why not celebrate? The "team" will eventually kick you to the curb anyway...

  • @1978eagles *cough* desean *cough*

  • @thetenzintsung stfu

  • @1978eagles win-ing!

  • @1978eagles Players were humble and businesslike then, millionaire hip hop assholes now.

  • @pretorious700 Agreed. That's true with most sports. To really be dedicated a professional has to play for the love of his sport. I get the money incentive; they are paid millions. But when money is the primary reason, egos get too big.

  • @1978eagles Your point is well taken, but misplaced. That was a different era, when the game was different. Today's game is much more about the show boating. Blame ESPN for this. The players just want to entertain the fans, so they'll do whatever it takes to create excitement.

  • @Rob774 Is this an excuse for unsportsmanlike behavior? There is nothing wrong with wanting to entertain the fans, but let's do so with our spectacular plays, rather than goofy celebrations. It's football, not dancing or a prayer service... just play the game and make memories.

  • @gfscarface13 cowboys are nothing now

  • @gfscarface13 You're just mad that the eagles are 8-4 and your Cowboys are 4-8 so suck it. History doesn't matter. I wasnt thinking about shit that happened before I was even born. So the Oakland Raiders beat us 30 years ago. I guess we eagles fans aren't still stuck in the 80s and 90s. Keep polishing those old trophies bitch because you're not getting one this year! Your so called "Big D" sucks "Big D"

  • @Standown129 5 SuperBowl Trophies Bitch.

    How many does your Sorry Ass Choking eagles have?

    LMFAO!!!

  • @gfscarface13 STEELERS 6 Super Bowl trophies, more appearances in the Super Bowl than ANY OTHER NFL team. FROM PENNSYLVANIA, BITCH!

  • @dougalmac54 I was asking an eagles fan how many SuperBowl Trophies do they have, and abviously the Bitch e-gals fan didn't answer.

    And for you steelers, yeah one of those superbowls was giving to you guys on a Silver Platter. Refs gave you guys sb XL. Its a Fucking Joke. That superbowl will Always be known as the One the Refs gave to the steelers. Dont matter how many years will pass, it will always be known as a Shameful superbowl.

  • @gfscarface13 and there will always be a cowboys fan talking about super bowls they won in the past and when i ask how many playoff apearances they have these days they will not answer

  • America's Team

    SuperBowl VI Champions

    SuperBowl XII Champions

    SuperBowl XXVII Champions

    SuperBowl XXVIII Champions

    SuperBowl XXX Champions

  • @gfscarface13 how many years ago was that? i mean i will admit when you guys had tom landry and roger you guys were good i will not deny u that. but today u guys just have abunch of posers who only care about money

  • @MrRoboeagles It doesn't matter "how many years ago was that" cause it happend and No one can ever take our Lombardi Trophies. 5 of them, shiny Vince Lombardi Trophies in our SuperBowl Trophy Case.

    America's Team will be back.

  • @gfscarface13 really the day you guys become good again is the day pigs sprout spider legs from their asses and their s eternal peace

  • @MrRoboeagles We were good 2 seasons ago, we just Failed badly last season. But now no more pressure of the superbowl being in our Stadium and we got new players through the NFL Draft and have a New Head Coach. We improved our O-Line, im expecting at least 10-11 wins this season.

  • @gfscarface13 Not in your lifetime.
