Greatest dynasty ever in the NFL?

Question

Of the 5 main dynasties (1 each from the past 5 decades) which would you rate as the best, and why?

60's Green Bay Packers
70's Pittsburgh Steelers
80's San Francisco 49ers
90's Dallas Cowboys
00's New England Patriots

actually stonewall redskins only have 2 SBs in the 80s

Answer 1

I agreed with you all the way "SPARTAN"

Answer 2

Well since I'm a 49ers fan it wouldn't be fair to not say the Green Bay Packers.

Green Bay Packers won 5 championships in 7 years 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966 and 1967. People only count the Super Bowls to determine who's the best, but remember, before the Super Bowl it was the NFL Championship games. 5 in 7 years is a damn good feat during that time.

New England is the dynasty of this decade, but are the greatest? No, why? New England's championships they've won are a combined 9 pts, not very dominate versus the past dynasties as noted above. But give them credit, they are a dynasty regardless of how people see them.

But Green Bay is the greatest dynasty ever in the NFL.

Answer 3

i'd desire to make certain that, yet you would be able to desire to hold the 60s Packers, 70s Steelers, 70s Cowboys and 80s Niners into the communication. The Steelers & Cowboys have an side in my ideas for one reason - the communities did not have loose company to assist them. The Steelers had over forty gamers on all 4 of those large Bowl communities. via assessment, the 80s Niners merely had 6. would the 2001 Patriots have been in all those large Bowls in the event that they simply replaced 10-12 gamers? maybe, maybe not. stable question

Answer 4

If I choose just two, The Steelers of the 70s' and 80s' Niners, my vote would have to go to the Steelers. Niners got 4 ring in 9 years but the Steel Curtain won consecutive Super Bowls. They won Super Bowl VIII & Super Bowl IX and Super Bowl XIII and Super Bowl XIV. All with in 6 seasons

Answer 5

This is a tough one. Really hard to judge different eras and styles. My favorite is the 70's Pittsburgh Steelers and that Steel Curtain, Franco and gifted receivers, Swann and Stallworth...Lambert in the middle. Each decade has produced a dominant team with superior offense and defense.

Answer 6

Denver fan here.

I'm going with the 70's Steelers. '74 '75 '78 '79 SuperBowl winners. 7 Divisions championships in the 70's.

Terry Bradshaw, Mel Blount, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, pfft.

The '74 Pittsburgh draft is regarded maybe the best in NFL history.

70's Steelers own this.

Answer 7

From top to bottom I have to agree with what you've listed. In terms of just SB's I'd give the edge to the Steelers winning 4 in a 6 year period.

Good information!

Answer 8

Packers dynasty of the 60's by far. The early 90's Cowboys were the best team though, but free agency and the salary cap kicked in and destroyed it. The 49ers won 4 S,B.'s in the 80's and the Redskins won three from the same conference. I don't consider that much of a dynasty.

Answer 9

Gotta go with the 49ers, they were dominant in the 80s, and one of those teams went 15-1, a couple of others were 14-2, and Joe Montana was the ultimate clutch quarterback, the game was never over with him back there.

Answer 10

right now....the Niners. The SB wins, the sheer number of ProBowlers (only team to ever have its ENTIRE secondary voted to the ProBowl...after the 84 season). The Innovation. All of the Dynasties were great...but Walsh completely changed the face of football with what he did in the 80's. He will be missed.

The Pats could conceivably take the title at the end of this Decade...but they haven't yet.

Answer 11

I know they arent on your list and most of us werent even alive, but what about the Browns of the late 40's to late 50's? Jim Brown, Otto Grahm. If they werent winning the Championship game they were playing in it. From your list though I pick the Niners. They always seemed to fill in the spots.
