Yeah, that whole run of '03 through '09 were top teams in each of their respective seasons.
'03 was a fun playoff run, too. Second only to '06. They just had the baby versions on Wayne, Freeney, Mathis, Clark, etc... and Sanders wasn't around yet.
Later teams had stronger versions of those players, along with other improved units... so if I stacked them side-to-side, they're better versions of '03.
Still a great team and some of my favorite moments ever (Saints on SNF, Bucs comeback, Titans in wk 14), don't get me wrong.
