2 seasons.
All those wins.
1 title.
Nothing else matters.
How can you be an all-time great team if you didn't win the chip?
1998 Minnesota Vikings, 15-1, set the scoring record at the time. No chip.
2007 New England Patriots, 16-0, set the scoring record at the time. No chip.
2001 Seattle Mariners, 116-46, set the wins record. No chip.
1996 Detroit Red Wings, 62 wins, set the season points record with 131. No chip.
Nobody talks about a collective set of years and tries to point to 1 of them and argue that it makes them the best.
When people talk about the Bulls, it's the 96 Bulls. It's not the 96 to 98 Bulls.
When people talk about the Bears, it's the 85 Bears. It's not the 84 to 88 Bears.
When people talk about the Yankees, it's the 27 Yankees. It's not the 27 to 32 Yankees.
Stop
Your heroes lost.
Deal with it.
