That still is a lengthy drought though, I don't want to wait another 16 years. The Cowboys/Eagles/Giants could have multiple opportunities at more trophies by then.
But then again, the 'Skins SB drought could last decades, or just a couple years. We just need to right the ship, I'd rather be a team that wins multiple SB's than win just 1 in the next couple decades.

I honestly feel bad for you younger fans. All you guys have seen is losing.
