Well, they've definately done a great job in March and April for about 6 consecutive seasons now. They have strong, intelligent management.
But that's all that seperates teams like NE, Philly, and SD from the rest of the league. They aren't any more likely to luck into wins than any other team.
Some article I was reading made a great point. The Eagles are just the NE Patriots without the lucky bounces. Both teams have done an excellent job building their franchises, but when it comes to clutch situations, Philly gets hosed and the Pats pull a rabbit out of a hat.
And as a confirmed Eagle hater, I'm glad. But eventually, NE's luck will run out on them.
