In those decades.
actually better than just appearing

only team to win a Super Bowl in last 4 decades. Just barely into 2 of those decades ('90 and '11), but still counts.

Agree that we're due and I'm thinking Feb '23 is going to be a good month ;>)
Is there some esoteric rule that disqualifies the Pats?

And if we're going very literally by SB appearances, the Steelers would qualify as well, even though their only appearance in the 1980's was for the 1979 season. The Giants are the only team to win in each of those decades.

I think we have been losing at half in all of our Super Bowls too.
It’s the flip end of the people who say the owner is lousy..

I’ll always hammer this home about Mara, whether it be Wellington or John, winning a super bowl in each of the last 4 decades is a huge accomplishment. It’s been a rough stretch, but that can’t be ignored.

Always agree with this, though I’ve questioned some of their moves through the years..
call me crazy  
Dr. D : 5/14/2021 3:02 pm : link
but with JJ and the direction our roster is heading, I like our chances of winning it 5 straight decades.
We still have

So, you're saying that we've got time.
Funny thing about last two decades

There’s been many poor and mediocre regular seasons.

Giants fans are grateful for two post season performances by Eli that rival any in the history of the game.
Giants have been hot and cold

the last thirty years. Thankfully they pulled through in the biggest game a couple times. The vast majority of franchises would gladly take the Giants resume. Hoping the string together a few good seasons over the next 5-6 years and win another Lombardi.
Don't the Patriots meet this criteria as well?

85, 96, and all of the 00s and 10s.

Yes but Op said appear, not win...which is wrong.
I was wrong on appear  
Ben in Tampa : 5/14/2021 5:18 pm : link
I meant win

I was feeling overly optimistic about the team this afternoon. Sue me.

I'm optimistic too, Ben. Whether we're "overly" or reasonably is TBD, imo.

There's a lot of reasons to be optimistic. I would hate to be one who's not, right now.

This feels like a 1984-85 or a 2005-06 to me. Seems like some see it more like a 1995-96.
We are also undefeated in Championship games in the SB era

If memory serves me. That’s pretty impressive, too.

Fuckin Ravens.
