Every team gets them, and usually it is the team with the least, or the best depth that wins it all. If I felt it was not good enough, I would have to ask myself which players fit into the 3-year window, or if it was time to offload the aging players and start over (likely with a new coach and GM).

I disagree, i think the teams that win the Superbowl are generally the least injured teams at the most important positions. No team can absorb any significant amount of injuries to their top level guys.
Depth is only so good at certain positions.
If you lose your starting QB, or a top level LT, Pro Bowl DE or CB, the drop off in talent gets really hard to replace to any suitable standard.
