Looking over it the other day, kind of sad we won only five division titles in his 17 years. The first three years were almost magic but the team got worse as time wore on. After 1985 there would only be the 1992 and 1994 division titles for Dan. And in the five total titles, another AFC east team came in and smoked us for the conference title ('85 NE, '92 BUF) in two of those division winning years. Don really failed him big time as far as the architect for building the team around him. Defense was horrendous and we couldn't run at all. Every 3rd and 1 was a passing down. Remember that?
Anyway, sorry for the toxic nostalgia but it's really quite unreal that we weren't heavy division winners from 1983-1999. Win a super bowl? Are you kidding? I just wished we had conquered the East a lot better. OK, I'm done now.
