Flyers were in the Stanley Cup Finals 1974, 75 & 76 and won the first two. I was always sad “hat trick in 76” didn’t happen.

Sixers won their division 1977 & 78.

Phillies won their division 1976, 77 & 78, and WS in 1980 and NL Pennant in ‘83.

Eagles made postseason 1978, 79, 80 (lost Super Bowl) & 81

Mid-70s through early 80s was a golden period, and I always thought it was because we were also the epicenter of the Bicentennial. These were the years I was 8 through 15 and life was very very sweet for this sports-crazy Philly gal.

Edit: missed space and typo; added to Phils list per another poster’s correction.

I know you're slightly more focused on the mid-70s, but the Sixers were also in the NBA finals in '80, ECF in '81, finals in '82, then ultimately winning in '83.

and then I was born, and it went to hell for 26 years (technically I was around in 83).

The flyers were always decent until the 2010s. The sixers were fun with AI, and McNabb + Dawkins Eagles were great too, but a lot of heart break in there.
