No doubt, but they still had to run through the playoffs and win the SB, which they did 6 out of 9 times.

Just as easily could have been 9-0. Or maybe 2-7.

You just simply can’t diminish 9 Super Bowl appearances in 20 years. Would have been unthinkable 20 years ago.

Totally agree.  Similar to Popovich/San Antonio, they sustained high-level success over a period long enough that they did it with multiple 'core' groups.  Brady/Belichick's consistency in New England was absolutely freakin' ridiculous.

No one diminishes the Bulls and Jordan because they didn’t have to beat Kareem, Magic, Worthy Lakers. Or the Bird, McHale, Parrish Celtics. For a few years, they couldn’t get past Detroit.

I don’t recall the East being that strong in that period, either.

They dealt with some pretty darn good Pacers and Knicks teams.

It's almost a chicken-and-egg thing to me.  Kareem/Magic/Worthy and Bird/McHale/Parrish are talked about the way they are because they each won multiple titles, rightfully so.  The Bulls beat the best teams of the 90's (other than them) though.

If the Jordan Bulls existed 10 years earlier, they win 3-4 championships. And don’t go undefeated in the Finals.

Who in the world knows.  Maybe the Bulls would've had the same level of dominance and we're talking about those 80's Lakers and Celtics like we talk about the 90's Jazz and Knicks.  Great teams with great players who never broke through.

Just heard Phil Simms say that Brady wouldn't have been as good without Belichick being "ahead of the curve" (his words) on offense.

Obviously thought of you guys.  Algorithm was running wild.

I happen to know that Phil Simms is a big IlliniHQ guy.
