Yup, I can't remember the last time the 9ers blew them out. Since 2001 the 9ers are 4-8 vs Philly and every time the 9ers did win it was no more than 3-6 points. The one time the 9ers won by 10 was in 2001 when the score was 13 to 3 and it was still a nail biter.
Very good observations.
I think that 2014 game versus Chip Kelly we took good control early on but the Eagles came back and it was a literal nail biter to the very end. I remember Fangio taking off his headset in relief after the Eagles turned it over on downs. And I also recall a goal line stand a bit earlier too.
We just gotta smash them.
Meanwhile the Eagles haven't beat the Seahawks at all in the Pete Carroll era.....no matter how outgunned the Hawks were, always won. Sigh.
We could also take a trip through memory lane in the Montana and Young era, and all those games were close too......or they kicked our ass in our last Super Bowl year. I even recall in high school ('93-'97) a Monday Night game that I believe went through the entirety of OT and I think we lost on a last second kick, and then I had to be up super early the next morning.
It's pretty odd overall. I think we have the same relationship with the Vikings, except mostly relegated to struggling in any of their stadiums.
