Expectations among Philadelphia Eagles fans heading into the 2014 season were pretty high. After all, who could blame them? Just look what Chip Kelly accomplished as a rookie head coach in 2013.

After taking over a 4-12 team that ranked in the bottom five in the league in scoring offense, Kelly led the Eagles to 10 victories and a fourth-place finish in points scored.

The biggest surprise came at the quarterback position, where sophomore Nick Foles took over the starting job from veteran Mike Vick in midseason. Foles proceeded to throw 27 touchdowns against just two interceptions, good for a 119.2 passer rating, the third-best in NFL history. He led the Eagles to victories in seven of the final eight games before losing to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints on a walk-off field goal in the NFC Wild Card Round.

When the Eagles started the season 3-0, 5-1, 7-2 and 9-3, the playoffs seemed to be a virtual certainty. In fact, they had a legitimate shot at a first-round bye. But we all know what happened next, as the Eagles lost three straight games, eliminating themselves from postseason contention before Week 17.

It was a combination of poor quarterback play, an even worse secondary, a ton of injuries and a first-place schedule that ultimately did the Eagles in during Kelly’s second season as head coach. Basically, they regressed to the mean after exceeding expectations in Kelly’s rookie year. Whether the Eagles can bounce back and contend again for the playoffs in 2015 remains to be seen.

For now, with the long offseason approaching, let’s take a look back at the 30 most memorable moments for the 2014 Philadelphia Eagles. These consist of the good, the bad and the downright ugly, and unfortunately, when you collapse in December and miss the postseason, the most memorable moments aren’t positives. Quite simply, these are the moments that you will remember the longest.
