  • Did anyone not cry when when they won it?

    I did not, and was very surprised. I think I was in disbelief. When the Phils won in 2008 I cried like a pussy. Just years and years of adult frustration all released at once.

    I thought for sure I would ball if the Eagles won it. I think it took me a while to process it...

    Just the opposite for me, Phils I was stunned, when that Hail Mary hit the turf 3 weeks ago, I simply lost it because I truly started to doubt I’d ever see it.

      I walked outside, listened to the fireworks going off, thought of my dad, and cried like a little kid.

        It took me a good 15 seconds to realize the game was over. I think if Darby would have made that pick a play before, I would have lost it

          I'm from Western Pa, but was in Philly on business last week. I visited my Grandmother's grave in Ft Washington, and was so surprised, or maybe not really, at all the Eagles Super Bowl banners placed on graves

            I had a delayed reaction.. Took about 20 to 30 seconds to sink in that the game was actually over and we won the yes I did shed some tears

              I didn't. The ending was surreal

              Between Darby dropping the pick and Graham having a free run and whiffing on the last play... initially I think I was happier after the strip sack it took awhile for it to wash over me.

                i'm in the same boat. i didn't cry and i was surprised. i did get chills and teared up a little listening to kelce's speech.

                i think things were too tense for me to cry. at the beginning of the game my nerves were out of control. for the whole 4th quarter, i made a decision not get too emotionally invested in any one moment. on the 4th and 1, the last FG, and the hail mary, i was really just holding my breath.

                if we had gotten the first down after the strip-sack, if brandom graham had sacked brady on the last play, or maybe if we had just gotten the two points after the ertz TD i may have lost it. instead i just held my breath for the hail mary to hit the ground. it was surreal once it happened, then i went out for the best night ever on broad st.

                  I didn't.

                  I went to hug a friend of mine but I think he wasn't fully aware of what just happened for a moment. That was pure joy.

                  Now when I rewatch some of this stuff I get a little weepy from time to time.

                    I did not. My 9 year old son was in my arms for the last drive and I was living through his experience. Vicariously I guess. I was 10 for super bowl 15 and I was seeing it through his eyes.

                      No tears. Pure disbelief for me.

                      I was waiting for a PI flag, didn't see one.

                      Saw the clock was at zero, said to my wife, "we won" in a calm disbelieving tone.

                      It still feels like a dream.

                      2005, I cried like I lost a loved one.

                          Good to see I have company as I didn't cry when the ball hit the turf on the final play but I ALMOST broke down twice several minutes afterwards when the reality started to settle in.

                          I fully expected to cry like a little bitch but it never happened. I got misty-eyed for days afterwards while watching the game highlights and the fan celebrations but overall I kept it together somehow.

                          It still feels surreal to me, no question about it.

                              Kids did, I did. Lot of memories watching games with my grandparents washed over me. It was a nice mixture of pure joy, gratefulness that my kids don’t have to carry the burden of “no rings” their entire lives, etc.

                              I still get emotional watching the end. It’s surreal.
