It's less a Lombardi drought and more of a playoff winning drought. This team went from a minimum of making the conference title game from 2011 to 2018 to never winning a playoff game in 5 seasons. That's noticeable.-Browns-Jaguars-Cowboys-49'ers-Giants-Chiefs-Eagles-Rams-Bills-Ravens-Bucaneers-Saints-Packers-Titans-Texans-SeahawksAll of those teams have won a playoff game since the last time the Patriots won a playoff game. Half the league has won a playoff game in the last 5 season. It's a lot easier to go to extreme lengths to listen to any leader when everytime you do, you get positive results.
