[The Dad Fisherman]

3 SB Wins in 4 years makes the Dynasty...they are now working on another one...I hope

I think we can put to bed all the talk of Pats fans and sports radio show host all the talk of greatest team ever, Brady greatest ever, Belichick greatest ever ect.......................
Super bowl loss to Giants & 3 straight playoff loss ends that talk.
As much as I hate the Steelers, have to say right now they get greatest team ever, especially if they win another one this year as many expect them to. Won both before salary cap and after !

The problem that I have with the Steelers as the greatest franchise ever is that they had zero NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era. They were the joke of the league for many years.

The Packers had 9 to go along with their 3 Super Bowls.

The Packers won 5 NFL titles between 1961 and 1968. 5 in 7 years, that was a dynasty.

The Montreal Canadiens won 5 straight Cups in the 50s. The Islanders won 4 in a row in the 70s and early 80s. Those were dynasties.

The old Steelers won 4 over a 6 year span. If they win their 3rd over a 6 year span this year, they'll have their second dynasty.

The Niners won their 5 over a 12 year stretch. The only argument that they have for a dynasty is that they won two back-to-back. They had some brutal playoff losses to the Redskins, Giants and Cowboys along the way.

The benchmark dynasty in sports history was Russell's Celtics. 8 NBA titles in a row, and 11 over 13 years. You can't call the Celtics of Bird's era a true dynasty because they traded titles with the Lakers.
