Winning the Super Bowl was not a fluke. The Eagles had the best offensive and defensive line in football that year and football is won in the trenches. Also, this year's team is better than that one was. They have been the best team in the NFL all year and will show that Sunday when they beat the Niners. I am not sure what happens in the Super Bowl though. Both AFC teams will be extremely tough matchups. The Eagles also have the best record in the NFL vs. winning teams this year so that myth that they have not beaten anyone is getting old.

Sure Going 13-3 - beating 2 playoff teams in the Falcons and the #2 Seed Vikings Then beating Tom Brady and the Patriots is a 'Fluke' Whatever you say there fella Yeah! It’s unfair to compare Nick Foles to Hostetler and Dilfer. Neither one of those quarterbacks had to outduel Tom Brady’s best offensive performance in a Super Bowl to win it. And neither one of them almost got back to the conference championship game the next year. Good points, screamingtreefrogs The following season - Wentzy was hurt again.
It was again that journeyman QB leading us in the playoffs
We were inside the Saints 30 with like 2 minutes to go on a game winning drive. Alshon let the ball go right through his hands which led to an interception. I'll never forget him being crushed on the field and having to be consoled by his teammates.
We were 1 drive away from going to the NFC Championship Game again - this right after winning the Super Bowl
We had a good team. This was no 'fluke'.
Nothing is a fluke when you control the line of scrimmage all game repeatedly for years

7-9 13-3 9-7 9-7 4-11 Wee bit of a fluke, my man. Loved it while it happened, will remember it until I die, but it was an outlier. It was Trent Dilfer or or Jeff Hostetler winning the SB. Sure Going 13-3 - beating 2 playoff teams in the Falcons and the #2 Seed Vikings
Then beating Tom Brady and the Patriots is a 'Fluke'Whatever you say there fella With Nick Foles? No 1000 yard rusher AND receiver (they had neither)? Yes, yes it is. I didn't think there were any of you people left. Everyone knows they caught lightning in a bottle. Do you think Foles is a legit starter too? LOL!

What does not having a 1,000 rusher mean? They ran by committee and had over 150 yards rushing in the Super Bowl For the year Blount had over 700 yards rushing and Ertz had over 800 receiving and Alshon had over 700 committee It's a team game I didn't think there were any of YOU people left 'We're a fluke because we don't have a 1,000 yard rusher or a 1,000 yard receiver and backup beat Tom Brady!'DOOOIIIYYYY!!!!

No, it's not unfair to compare backup QBs.... all who won the SB. There's a reason Foles was never able to keep a starting job.
Almost got back to the conference championship game the next year?! Wow, what an achievement!

It's baffling why we didn't win another one. That's elite talent! HAHAHAHA!

Well it certainly disproves the moronic comment the team was a fluke! It's a 'TEAM' game You don't go 13-3 and beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl and are a 'Fluke' A tennis player who may have the highest career serving percentage double faulting Wimbledon away may be a 'Fluke' A champion bowler gutter balling 2 straight attempts may be considered a 'Fluke' i.e. - Individual Sports Not team sports where a team goes 13-3 en route to a title

Obviously you do not grasp the concept of team sports and it's a team game Individual sports may be more your speed Bub Then you can consider championship wins - 'Flukes'

The fact that they won the game after getting there wasn't a fluke. They had a great season. But in the overall grand scheme of the Eagles, it was a one and done championship. They didn't even get back to the NFC title game the next season, and then wallowed in mediocrity for a while. The QB is gone and has never done anything again, the coach was fired, etc. I think there's a difference between calling the title 'a fluke' and saying 'you guys got lucky,' or something like that. The Eagles earned that title for sure, but looking back, it didn't lead to anything. There wasn't a period of consistent success that followed.

The argument was "we were the most injured team in the league and we won the Super Bowl with a bunch of backups. Now think what we will do with our healthy starters." It was kind of a weird title. Think of the Sixers; you love that they're "in the conversation" year in year out despite winning nothing. Well, the Eagles won the Super Bowl and then... dropped out of the conversation for years. All they did after that was beat Mitch Trubisky's Bears thanks to the double-doink.

The Steelers won the Super Bowl again in 2008 - but didn't win in 2009 They must have been a 'Fluke'... The Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009 - but didn't win in 2010 They must have been a 'Fluke'.....

So they didn't make the championship game the next season?

Giants won the Super Bowl in 2008 - they didn't win in 2009 - They must have been a 'Fluke'...... Steelers won the Super Bowl then won it again 3 years later, then went back again 2 years after that. Colts won the Super Bowl, were always bonafide contenders for years before and after that with a perennial superstar QB, and went back to the Super Bowl 3 years later. Giants won the Super Bowl, then won it again 4 years later with the same coaching staff and QB (and beating the same coaching staff and QB). Eagles won the Super Bowl, then their starting QB went on to play himself out of the league and their famed backup went on to do nothing else and their ballsy coach got fired etc. See the difference?
