Summary: Awesome DVD
Comment: A must have for any die-hard Eagles fans. Takes you back through all the glory days of the franchise, and also has lots of special features with segments on key players through the team's history like Donovan McNaab and Reggie White.

Summary: Where is the part where the Eagles win the Superbowl?
Comment: Oh I'm so sorry Philadelphia has never won the Superbowl. Wow this year is going to be Superbowl 40 too. What is the hold up? Shouldn't they make a dvd package for successful franchises first?

Summary: Great DVD ... mostly ...
Comment: A must have for Eagles fans, but I felt like the longer I watched it the faster it moved.
It examines in great depth and detail through the teams history, all the way up until about the end of the Dick Vermeil Era. After that, it just tears though about the next 25 years. There's no mention at all of Marion Campbell taking over the team and very little examination of Norman Breman's disastrous ownership. Both Buddy Ryan and Ray Rhoades seem to only warrant extended footnotes, while Rich Kotite is almost skipped over entirely. At this point I felt that NFL films was trying WAY too hard to start looking at the franchise (and current ownership) through rose-colored glasses.
Granted, in the grand scheme of their history, this is probably just a small piece. I'm twenty-eight though; these are the years I remember best. It was disappointing that this part of the team's history was so abbreviated.
In all though, there's just a treasure chest of material here that I had a blast pouring over. I can't possibly not recommend it, it just loses a star for such a quick wrap-up.

Summary: Long time fan disappointed
Comment: I have been an Eagles fan since I was 6 years old in 1963. There was a lot to like but a lot got left out. I particularly was disappointed by the amount of the DVDs that consisted of talking heads, particularly when many of those heads had not worn an Eagles helmet - who buys this to hear Philadelphia media people? I would have preferred much more game action and much more on Eagles personalities. Tim Rossovich, Bill Bradley, Bill Bergey, Tom Dempsey, Harold Jackson, Irving Fryar - never mentioned and barely seen. Herschel Walker's 90/90/90 season - unmentioned but showing those three plays would have taken only about 30 seconds. Too much of DVD 2 is just about the Vet and people who live in South Philly. That's a little tangential to fill up half the set. On the plus side, they do show due respect to Randall's greatest plays, to the Fog Bowl and to the incredible 1991 defense, so there are definitely some choice moments here. On to the Super Bowl in Detroit next year and may the Eagles win it all! I look forward to all Eagles DVD's and may they all get better and better!
