1. Optimism.

Eagles fans will shit talk whatever team they're playing, no matter if they actually believe the Birds have a chance of clinching the win. But these are our boys, and they're the best in the country, even if they're ranked last.

2. Screaming.

That first touchdown, field goal, or two-point conversion is always cause for celebration. Doesn't matter if it's the first score of the game or the Eagles are down by 21 and this renews the hopes of fans everywhere. You will jump up. You'll probably spill your beer. But it's all worth it. #BDN

3. Hope.

The clock is running down. They might get it, but it probably depends on whether or not the other team fucks up. You're leaning in so far you might fall off of the couch. You're experiencing an emotional rollercoaster. Some have reported they couldn't breathe.

4. Stress and anxiety.

They were in the lead. And then they probably weren't. You haven't given up hope, but it feels like you're fighting for your life. The Philly Special includes a lot of expletives. Maybe you throw your Wawa hoagie at the TV. My mom's Apple Watch sent her a notification that said, "Increased heart rate alert!" Yes, it really is that deep.

5. "I can't eat."

Someone probably brought a tray from Philly Pretzel Factory. Or you might have the half of the Wawa hoagie left that you didn't throw at the TV. You have to go to the bathroom, but you would rather shit yourself than miss out on this. Xfinity Live is on the verge of burning down for the 923849th week in a row.

6. "F*CK!"

Cody Parkey. That's all I have to say.

7. "I LOVE MY CITY!"

Tears may be streaming down your face. If you live in a row home, you're probably banging on the wall. You vow to wear green every day of your life. You would die for Nick Foles. You can't wait to drive down 76 tomorrow night on your way home from work and see Boathouse Row lit up in green lights. If you know you know.

8. Then you remember...next Sunday.

7 days to recover, decide what you're going to wear, figure out where you're watching the game, and maybe invest in a stress ball.

9. FLY, EAGLES FLY!

No matter where you are, start screaming "E-A-..." and you know someone will join in. The Eagles can bring this city together and it can set it on fire. And you wouldn't want to miss out on any of it.
