I had to look it up... Phillies won World Series in 1980 and that year's Eagles went to the Super Bowl and lost.

The 2022 Phillies made it to the World Series and lost and that year's Eagles are going to the Super Bowl. Maybe, just maybe, they'll win, and just maybe we will see a crowd of Eagles fans greeting the team on February 13 or 14 like this did after winning Super Bowl LII!

All 4 teams made it between 1979-81

Flyers lost the SC in 79-80 and Sixers lost in the Finals in 80-81

The Flyers loss was the 1st win of the Islanders dynasty, and Game 6 was the Leon Stickle game (missed an offsides call).

The Sixers loss was the Magic Johnson game where he played center for an injured Kareem in the deciding game 6.

Leon. Stickle. 43 years later. We. Still. Remember.
