That said, I will readily concede that it's significantly more difficult to get to the Super Bowl, let alone win it. Also, the Patriots (specifically Belichick and Brady) have had success over a longer period of time (i.e. 20 years), compared to the Hufnagel era which started in 2005. So it's not really much of a comparison, even if Bo Levi wins 2 or 3 more Grey Cups in the next 3-4 years...

There's little debate it harder to win a Super Bowl. There are more NFL teams (12) that have never won the Super Bowl than there are CFL teams. I fully acknowledge that the Patriots with Belichick and Brady are the greatest franchise in the history of the NFL. I don't care what anyone says about the Steelers, 49ers, or Cowboys teams of the past, the Patriots have accomplished more. I still like to point out playing in the AFC East has played a role in their domination (because it's true) but I cannot take anything away from them. They deserve all the credit they get as we will probably not see another NFL team in our lifetime dominate as they have.
