FrantikRam Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If we're counting New England, you have to count the Browns. This is obviously going to be heavily biased toward teams that have been in your lifetime. Kids today that grow up watching college football would not think Michigan (or Notre Dame) was a historically good program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I just don't think there are blue blood NFL teams like in college. That happens in college because the best teams always get the best players. In the NFL, you can find something unique for every long tenured franchise. If you lined up the biggest accomplishment for every team, that might be a better way of debating it. For example: Patriots - winning five super bowls (and going to 8) in 17 years Dolphins - going 17-0 and winning the super bowl Which of these was more difficult to accomplish? Which is more or less likely to happen again? There could be an actual debate there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsujin Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I think until the mid-2000's the Dolphins had the highest win% since the merger, and for those 30 years are so, they had the best winning% by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncofan48 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Biased but Denver has more Superbowl appearances than losing seasons under Bowlen since 1984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 A lot of this is super selective lol. Cowboys haven’t done a thing for nearly 25 years and didn’t do anything in the pre Super Bowl era. Steelers didn’t do anything pre Super Bowl era, had the 70’s but the 80’s were dreadful, 90’s were a mixed bag then they had two Super Bowls in the 2000’s and haven’t in the 10 years since 08. Patriots has the last two decades but they were up and down in the 90’s and pretty bad in the 80’s aside from one year and the 70’s. Niners really only had the 80’s up to 96, minus a brief spell in the early 2010’s. Packers did nothing in the 70’s and 80’s and and only went to two of the last 50 Super Bowls.

By 1966 they were in the NFL Championship lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started watching the NFL in the late 90’s. So my view of the Dolphins is a bit skewed. But only 2 losing seasons in 33 years is bad a**. Including an undefeated season.
