Dang man memories. I remember watching this game with my dad, I was 7 years old. Then I remember watching them lose to the patriots in the super bowl. Fast forward 13 years and they beat the patriots in the super bowl and once again I was watching it with my dad. And in about an hour we’re gonna watching them raise their first Super Bowl banner. Just crazy stuff. thanks for the upload
Thanks for sharing the memories!

NFL Throwback f
🦅i was 10 been a Fan stil a Fan .. Vick too
chris bastin I was 15, sophomore year of high school ‘
14 years later it finally happened. 😪 That '04 team was really good. It's a shame they didn't win it all.
Saint Fifty One we all did
Jackie Chiles I don’t see how either around that time from the early 2000s this defense was scary lol
Wentzylvania yea but let’s be real that early 2000 defense that ain’t coming those days are gone I’m an giants fan and I use to suffer when Kerry Collins use to face this defense back then 😂 you know how many nightmares I had!! Of brain Dawkins, Jeremiah trotter
Wentzylvania yea I agree with you on that 💯
War eagle Auburn tigers
Favorite era, love this roster
Saint Fifty One nfl better now
good era but a frustrating era as well..PHI went 1-3 in NFC Championship games from 2001-2004 ⁉✳🏈🏟🤔
Only a brick wall could stop you, its name is the Eagles
Ben S glad someone made the comment.
Fuck u SPANOS FUCK YOUUUUUUU
Shitposters unite
UrinatingTree reference.
This needs to be a T-shirt.
9:37 What an open field tackle by Burgess. No easy feat on Vick.
NFL Vault are Goats. 🐐
2 of the coolest QBs ever. McNabb was such a beast.
I was 11 when I saw this game crazy how time flys I’m 25 now
I was 15 lol
Was 10 now 24
Same
Michael Vick was the reason the defense invented the QB spy
FSU BOI The Bucs were the first team to completely shut Vick down twice in a season in 2002. Derrick Brooks spied him and did not let him out of his sight.
@@MikeP813 tbh he was fast but he wasent smart, in some occasions i though Vick was unbeatable on offense
FSU BOI Depends on who played him. At a point he was unstoppable to some teams
@@MikeP813 yeah I think the saints shut him down when they played them in 2006
@@MikeP813 yeah if u loose sight of Vick then they got a TD
That Eagles team should have been our first Super Bowl team. Also who else just remembered how much of a dog Brian Finneran was back in the day? And Michael Lewis?
really BF doesnt get his credit at all
chad lewis! low key clutch.
Donovan was a freaking monster. If he had gotten that ring he would be in the HOF by now
He was pretty good, much better than Vick IMO because McNabb was an actual passer. What hurt McNabb is consistency, especially early in his career. If he had the brain that he had in 2006-2008 with the teams he had from 2000-2004, he probably would have won a SB. His problem is while he had one of the best arms in the league and a great deep ball, and he was usually good with turnovers, but he would get into stretches where his accuracy would be off.
He's a QB ahead of his time. He would be awesome in today's game.
@@NYG5 I agree because I think the other knock to his HOF credentials is being under 60% completion for his career (although no one cares about that with Marino.)
It's funny because you can see shades of the modern day Chiefs offense in some of these Eagles teams. People don't like to talk about it, but McNabb was doing a bunch of the stuff Mahomes is doing today (roll out shovel passes into the LOS, extending plays, throwing without planting his feet, etc.)
I'm not an Eagles fan but I do think he deserves more respect in the HOF conversations.
@@homunculusSZN he was only held back in the 2000s because defenses were allowed to beat the shit out running QBs
they should’ve beaten the panthers the year before and would’ve had back to back superbowls and definitely would’ve won 1 of those.
As much as I’m an Eagles fan, imagine if we saw Atlanta in the Super Bowl that year with Vick? Would’ve been somethin to see
Mike Craig he had a good team and a average defense, but his O-line was Horrible, he never had time to throw in this game.
Patriots would’ve shut him tf down in the super bowl
Why? He sucked in this game...he sucked in just about every big game he was ever in which weren't many. He would have sucked in that Superbowl as well!
The Patriots would have blown them out.
Imagine that😎
I love the way Trotter plays that Mike position.
hopefully we draft his son and he’s the same way…
Thomas spearing Vick at the 4 was burned into my brain the moment it happened 4:16
Man I forgot how good of a game Derrick Burgess had. This was his coming out party
This Eagles team was stacked both on offense and definitely defensive. 2004 shoulda been Philly’s first Super Bowl win
Wouldn't doubt it if the Patriots were cheating in 04...
Perhaps we are stacked in 2024? We did alot to make that team great if we do well in the draft stay healthy perhaps 24 is our next one.
I remember watching this game with my best buddy from Philly too...we grew up in Florida..we were seniors in Highschool and pasted eagles stuff all over our principals office who was a Pats fan haha...I'm glad they finally got one from NE
I was happy to see Andy win a SB too. I know he wanted to win one in Philly more than anything. Him and his family went through so much with this Organization and for so many years.
My heart was broken at the end of that season but that was a great game.
5:43 what a hit!!! Man thats how they should hit all the time! Dawkins a scary man. Never seen that hit before, and went back like 4 times to rewatch it.
Watch the one he had on Vick the year before.
John Carter now a days, that a penalty. Today football is to damn soft
Nowadays that would be a penalty in the Roger Goodell National Flag Football League
Props to Alge for holding on to it.
To this day I still remember watching that hit live. I really thought Alge was dead the way Dawk laid him out
Wanted Vick to win this game so bad!!!!
Damien Butler just couldn’t get pass Eagles man. Going in it felt like Vick year
I just wanted to watch one game where he didn't throw a wobbly ass pass.
yea maybe he only would have killed one dog that night instead of the usual.
@@ManonEarth855 the falcons wouldn't beat the patriots that season anyways.
War eagle Auburn
That QB POV was nice af, that pocket was crazy 7:30
2:09
Westbrook was so underused in the 04 Playoffs.
And Duce Staley was overused imo. He had 1 or 2 like big runs per game and then he'd get like 10 for the rest of the game. Oh well that's Fraudy Reid for ya.
Pause it exactly at 6:51 and look at the game he was havin too
He caught a tub in the Super Bowl
@@mikeisagodd2121 Only 15 rushing attempts though.
@@Phinal_Flash yea...Reid just admitted on Colin that he threw the ball too much back then...and also two many 7 step drops...lots of stress on the Oline, which was built for the run..
Yeeeesssssss!!! Thank you for these highlights! ♥
The MVP of this game was Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson. The Falcons had the league's #1 rushing offense that season thanks to Vick, and Johnson bottled them up with a simple strategy: he flip-flopped his defensive ends (putting the more athletic Jevon Kearse on Vick's stronger left side) and asked them to focus on containment instead of outright pressure. As a result, we saw Vick escape into the open field only once the entire game. It was a brilliant job of knowing his personnel and game planning accordingly.
And remember ATL had rushed for over 300 yards in their divisional round game
Only a brick wall could stop you. It's name is the Eagles.
You watch UrinatingTree too?
@@ChiefBlue4298 Hells yeah!!!
5:43 that sound made by Crumpler was his soul leaving his body! Listen, EEEP!
And he still held onto the ball
That entire NFC South was brutal on the Philadelphia Eagles in the early 2000s!
2:33 sent dude flying
This was a battle between the only teams kids would use when playing Madden for about 3 years
Oh God who gives a shit
@@jameshayes9849 the fuck's your problem?
I wanted to see one of those Eagles teams win a Super Bowl with Andy Reid as the Head Coach and Donovan McNabb at Quarterback. It was good to see them at least get over the NFC Title Game hump in 2004. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Air zoom Vick II was 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Imagine vick in the superbowl
The Patriots would've beat him though
Yeah, the Patriots would have won.
He would have been awful there just like he was awful here
vick would destroy pats u crazy
Cedric Feacher you’re dumb lmao
NFL throwback I love ur channel
I'll never forget this Game or this team! We got ours... now it's time for Andy to finally get his!
He did, and he has a great chance to get another!
2:35 that push sent dude flying lmao
like in 2021, Andy Reid is defeated by Tom Brady in the SB after winning the Conference
That Eagles team was special. They were robbed out of a super bowl that year by the spy cheatland deflatriots.
It was good seeing them get revenge on them cheats this past February.
Who would've thought Mike Vick would end up playing as the Eagles QB just a few years after this?! ☺️👍
Good luck to both teams this season.
Go Pack Go!!!
HalloweenNight1978 Rodgers looking to break another bone in his body....
You sound dumb af
Not really Mcnabb was a choke artist
The patriots didn’t win that game by “cheating,” they won it by playing better. Stop making excuses, Packers fanboy
HalloweenNight1978 ironically your a packers fan the eagles are one hit wonders just like Favre and Rodgers were. Patriots own you lil man
Great game , great team still disappointed us all with the L in the SB I was only like 5 so I didn’t care sm but when we won in 18 it really changed the way I look how big this was for us
That hit on Crumpler! Man I miss Dawkins!!!
This was a birth of a rivalry
Only a brick wall can stop you. It’s name is the Eagles.
Holy SHIT that hit lol. Weapon X was a BEAST in his day. Glad he was one of us. FLYEAGLESFLY
Donovan was such a bag at QB. Exactly the type of guy you want running an offense.
I saw a lot of dirters
Crazy how 14 years later they got their revenge, this team was good, I was so pissed the Pats beat them that year.
Well us pats got our revenge on lane Johnson, he still doesn’t know what he’s talking about
It STILL amazes me that this team, Weapon X, Sheldon Brown, Lito Shepherd, Cory Simon, Jeremiah Trotter, Dahani Jones, Todd Pinkston, Westbrook, Tra Thomas, Jon Runyan, Jevon Kears, Mcnabb, T.O and any other great I can't remember rightnow (my apologies). Plus we had the BEST defensive coordinators ever, the late Jim Johnson. I'm happy we FINALLY got it, but we should've had a few more. Regardless, I feel good about the team we have today. I'd give my firstborn to be able to see the '04-'05 Eagles vs the '17-'18 or '18-'19 Eagles
#FLYEAGLESFLY
They where 1-4 in nfc championship games.
Vick is a Dog, I love the way he plays, his throw power is crazy, this was a good game!
Vick is better than Newton
He's certainly better than that stiff piece of shit Rodgers.
Vick is my all time favorite and Newton is my current favorite player.
Vick is better though, he was basically an amazing running back that happened to have a rocket for an arm. Best dual threat ever in his prime I think.
Can Newton is a QB built like a tight end that can also run and is still hard to bring down. I think Cam is a better passer than Vick though.
@@dragonknightofamiraka3636 doubt it. Definitely not lol
AGK927 yeah Rodgers is trash never herd of him ever in my life hehe
@@wondermcthunder8835 aaaawwww OK
We were this close to a vick v brady superbowl
But what a team though I grew up a eagle fan I was happy when they won finally!!!
I remember being at this game seeing mike Vick was crazy
Vick had no receivers should have joined a super team with moss
We still have 2017 👍
nice video bro
There you see Mike Vick facing his future team, the Eagles.
Andy Reid Winning? Very rare nowadays...
idontgivetkachuk he choked this superbowl by blowing the clock management which McMabb was also too tired tbf, but ppl forget they blew a great performance by their defense in the first half of that game too by only managing a halftime tie
Huh
I can't wait anymore 😂😂😂
Man mcnabb was tripping on some of those plays. Lol
The Falcons have Mike Vick, the most dynamic QB in the NFL. You’re in the NFC Championship Game. Only a brick wall can stop you, its name is the Eagles (credit urinatingtree).
The only Chad anyone has ever liked, Chad Lewis 🐐
I loved this team, this era of Eagles football and this style of Defense we brought lead by our heart&soul Weapon X.... Brian Dawkins!
I doubt people remember we had a blizzard in Philly jersey that weekend and we got 3 feet of snow.
That hit on Crumpler by Dawk
Look at all the home grown talent on this roster too! Back when we used to know wtf we were doing on draft day!
This was one of our best teams ever to bad we didn't win the super bowl
Brian Westbrook was soooo good!
5:42 would have been a penalty today but back then that was consider a hard hit lol Vick is a beast
Die hard eagles fans. My dad took me to this game. It was my first playoff game and my dad was at the 2 championship games before that and he promised this was the year. He said i was his good luck charm.. And we finally won! Lost to the patriots but we beat em 13 years later.. My dad passed away 4 days ago and I will never forget this day. Now hes my good luck charm, Gonna really miss you dad. GO BIRDS!!
My dad died earlier that morning at Einstein hospital so the whole day wax bittersweet...
Dunn was explosive. A 98 spd in madden that year. Use to set him up as slot receiver straight route and would burn the opp linebacker all the tine 💯
Still gives me goosebumps
lord knows i wanted vick to get a ring so bad #757
2:36 MRW the song starts to hit hard.
How do I remember going to this game with my dad
Ref at 2:42 was all in!! Lol
The weather in Philadelphia for thus game was even colder than it was when they played their last game at Veterans Stadium two years earlier, missing out on a Superbowl they probably would have won. There was also at least a foot of snow this time along with the cold. The final score was the same at it was in the last game at the Vet, only it was in The Eagles favor this time.
Love you Jimmy Johnson best eagles Defensive mind of all time.
McNabb playing against the guy who would replace him
I cried this game. As a philly faithful, I have been a life long Vikings fan. I bet my uncle and everyone in his barbershop that the eagles would not make it to the Super Bowl and if they did I would shine shoes in the shop. I needed Vick to win so i wouldn’t lose the bet but he let me down lol
Wow..watched this in my college dorm...This defense was so ferocious. Dawkins was an absolute monster in this game. They showed the Crumpler hit but they didn’t show him destroying Vick on the long run that ended up holding call anyway. Broke his leg if I’m not mistaken?
That was a divisional game a couple years prior
Who's here after the Eagles annihilated SF to get to the Super Bowl in 2023????
4:13
Damn Vick got hit by the no. 78 bus
2nd greatest team to not win the Superbowl. If t.o was healthy they beat the Patriots. Sad McNabb is not in the hot 1 man offense litterally had bums for wr his whole career except for the short time he had t.o
He had to make brian westbrook good
No HD? You guys have this and SBs 38 and 39 in HD yet you posted in SD. Smh they are in HD on TH-cam from your own NFL Network, yet NFL Vault can only get the SD version?
For some reason, I like the quality. Makes me feel like I'm in 2005
Raven at Browns 2004 (last browns week 1 win), please
2:35 that Falcon player got pushed hard asf lmao
Watched this at the Shack in Santa Monica, CA. We celebrated in the street after the game while a bunch of confused Californians watched haha
Based on the title of the video and how the NFL praises Michael Vick, you'd think that him getting swarmed by defenses was super rare, but it really wasn't. He actually got swarmed by defenses very often, because his running ability was offset by his inability to throw
I remember watching this and I was -4 months old
lol why does the ref start head banging 2:38
We'll never get to see Prime Vick with Greg Roman
Good game actually
5:41 all the receivers polled once said Brian Dawkins was the most punishing tackler in the NFL
2004 eagles had one of the easiest paths to the Super Bowl. No shade to the other bonafide teams in the NFC that year (including these falcons), but the eagles were just so good that year. Just a shame that New England was better than them. The teams that were good that year were truly elite! Too much talent across both conferences!
NFC was very watered down in 2004.
Both teams here got the luxury of playing an 8-8 team in the divisional round.
Ultimately the NFC in 2004 had only five teams with a positive point differential, nine teams with a 7-9 record or worse, and a 20-44 record vs the AFC; one of the worst win percentages ever for one conference vs the other.
I was at this game best eagles game ever
Yo tj Duckett what a throwback
3:26 #55 Dhani Jones I believe. Was he even looking where Vick was lol?
5:42 RIP Alge Crumpler
18 years ago, seem like yesterday. Hell the 2017 nfc championship was 5 years ago now. Hopefully eagles do it again this Sunday
3 Super Bowl appearances in the last 18 years...
2:37 why does the ref in the endzone look like he's listening to a 2004 banger. What would of that been? Like Ludacris?
Funny. This was Mike Vick's last playoffs appearance until 2011.
Crazy that, that’s was Vicks last game in the NFL before he went to prison.
Atlanta might of made it a game, an probably would of won it if it was at the Georgia Dome
