There have been many nerve-wracking moments as an Eagles fan, but recently for me I'd say I was extremely nervous in 2003 when Akers was getting up to kick the tying field goal against the Packers after 4th and 26. That probably was the most nervous I was in a game that I remember most recently.

Unfortunately we got embarassed the game after, but that Packers game was still a great game.

ummm... the final failed attempted drive in the Super Bowl against the Pats.  Not sure what else could beat that.

That wasn't as nerve-wracking as ultimately disappointing. After the hell of a punt, you had to know the Eagles weren't going to drive 99 yards with that little of time left.

The whole SB was they had a legitimate shot in that game and could have won if not for some head scratching errors by the coaching staff and McNabb.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Watching Westbrook return the punt at the Meadowlands from the stands, searching the field for flags.  I couldn't believe it wasn't called back.  Not because there was a foul--there were none--but because it was simply too good to be true.

Every time LJ catches the ball then turns up field to run. I'd rather he'd just make the catch and fall.

QB Eagles

The Super Bowl. Not the final drive, because it would have taken perhaps the greatest drive in Bowl history to win the game. But watching them lackadaisically fritter away the last five minutes of the game in the previous drive. I was pacing the room like a madman.

Pretty well any playoff game but for me it's almost any MNF game.  Eagles lose I get razed, Eagles win I gloat.
Most recent memory was a couple of years ago against Minny.   That game dam near killed me.  Or going back a few more years when the Eagles finally beat the NYG and it came on MNF but only after Collins fumbled the football.  I was a wreck throughout that game.

The Monday Night game when Hutton fumbled the snap on a chip shot field goal against the Cowboys, I cried when they lost that game.  I am not someone that cries but the Eagles have made me do it twice the second time was when they lost to TB in the NFCCG.

For that Monday night game I was on the phone with a Dallas fan giving him the gears just before that happened.  Somehow my cell phone started to break up after the miss and I lost the connection  ???
