They really only had 2 or 3 "down" years in that stretch and it's getting really overblown when we're already using the "no SB victories in 10 years" as a soapbox for winning now, but now we're saying "going nowhere".
2005, 10-6 after winning 3 SBs in 4 years (boo ****ing hoo)
2006, lost by 4 in the AFCCG
2007, lost in the SB after starting 18-0
2008, 11-5 and didn't make the playoffs
2009, WC round loss
2010, 14-2, divisional loss
Then they lost in the SB again and lost in the next two AFCCGs.
At most, that's a 2 year stretch where I guess you could say they were on the struggle bus a bit.
Their window was pretty much Brady's entire time there though, just like the Chiefs' window will be open until Mahomes retires. Anything beyond that is just nitpicking... like you said, there will be ups and downs, and there's of course a chance they could **** it up. Hell, another Mahomes could come along. There's always shit to worry about, but still have to plan with an eye on achieving greatness, which for Mahomes is chasing Brady.
