Decades or years?

We won Super Bowl 44 in our 44th year of existence while the 44th President was in office.

From 1987-1992, the Saints went 62-33 as a member of the NFC West.

During that time, the Saints won the NFC West only 1 time.

Of the Saints 12 playoff losses, only two of the teams they lost to managed to win their next postseason game:

1987 Vikings and the 2013 Seahawks - with only the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl.

All the others were eliminated the very next game.
