Disagree.
We were better than the Giants. The Redskins would have beat us 5 out of 5 times that year. Ask Kelso or Tasker both of whom have commented on that game recently.
The Cowboys teams were better too, that's why they kicked our butt two years in a row.
Rather that look back at that era as the era of failure in the Superbowl, I have come to peace with it by thinking of it as the time when we absolutely OWNED the AFC four years in a row.
Before the season even started back then, everyone in the AFC was thinking "Crap; if we are going to get to the Superbowl, we are going to have to beat Buffalo in OP in the cold and in front of that insane 80,000 man crowd."
We had everyone scared before the season started!
Will enjoy this 30 for 30 to no end, I'm sure.
