I do have to push back just a bit.
From 02 to Brady, the Bucs went through about four or five failed rebuilds resulting in a playoff drought from 08 to 19.
And the Giants two rings were really luck.
Look closely at Coughlin’s time in NY. For most of his career there, the Giants were average at best.
And they’ve been in the basement since 2012.

I've always said that 2 of the most underrated traits of a Superbowl winning team... are injuries and luck.

Oh good, we win the NFC South for the Quarter-Century playoffs. And it looks like we'll face Dallas in the Wild Card round. I'm good with that match up.

Thanks Sean Payton and Drew Brees for the greatest era of Saints football!

And that’s with those three straight 7-9 seasons
