Despite the fact that other NFL Teams view playoff wins and SB's as success.
Exactly. Championships...for lack of a better word...take a back seat to "being competitive"--being able to say "we made the playoffs 5 years in a row, that's better than X number of teams. We've won X number of games over X number of years", etc etc.
Being able to put themselves in the company of other winning teams is held up as some kind of great accomplishment, even if those regular season wins and playoff appearances led to zero playoff wins.
