Where you can buy a team in the offseason and one significant addition accounts for 20% of your team's performance? There have been 8 instances in the NFL of repeat champions. No team has ever won it thrice in a row. In the NBA, that's happened 14 times even if you don't count any of the Celtics' championships. Four times a team has accomplished a three-peat, again without the Celtics. It's clearly much easier to achieve a "dynasty". Well yeah, 5 starters compared to 22. That's why there aren't traditional dynasties in the NFL just great runs by franchises. Browns won 4 straight in the AAFC, it's not the same as the NFL though. If you include it with the NFL titles they won 7 championships in 10 years. Not a dynasty (were an AAFC dynasty) but a heck of a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 70's the Celtics and Knicks both got 2 a piece which is the weakest decade for dynasty's in the NBA. The 80's saw the Lakers win 5, the Celtics win 3, and the Pistons win 2 as the decade turned. The 90's obviously had Jordan's Bull's win 6. In the 2000's the Lakers won 5 and the Spurs won 3. So far this decade Lebron won 3 on the Heat and Cavs while the Warriors won 2 and there's a 100% chance those forces make the finals again this year so we are gauranteed someone's getting 3 this decade.

lancerman Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The answer to the thread is that it's impossible to know know for sure in the absence of a dynasty. The Steelers lost 3 AFCCG's to the Pats. They easily could have picked up another 2-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I responded to your post.Theres Nothing more annoying than a control freak, over fun time trivial topics. At ease, soldier lol. There will be another as evidenced by the fact the Pats weren't the first or the only one,or even the best at it.See that? Get that ? It does relate.

Wrong place/wrong time, running into the Redskins (3 Super Bowls) Giants (2 Super Bowls) and Cowboys (3 Super Bowls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong place/wrong time, running into the Redskins (3 Super Bowls) Giants (2 Super Bowls) and Cowboys (3 Super Bowls). Wilt Chamberlain would be so far ahead of Jordan right now if he didn't keep running into Russell's Celtics. If Ali didn't exist we are talking about how incredible Joe Fraizer was. In football the questions are: If the Patriots didn't exist what is Peyton Manning's legacy? Does he get a couple more more rings in 2000's without the roadblock and maybe some more number one seeds. Do the Colts ditch him in 2010 after his surgery or does he stay there being a multiple time champion? Do the Steelers bury any distance between themselves and other franchises with going anywhere from 7-9 potential titles? Does it put Ben into that super elite spot? Does McNabb become a HOF QB with a ring? Do the Chargers get their first Super Bowl ever and do they become a mini dynasty in 06 and 07? Does that make Rivers a HOF player. Does that mean we get the fated Rivers vs Eli Super Bowl we were denied? How is the GSOT remembered? Can they keep going or do they still fall apart. With a win over Manning and Brady how is the Legion of Boom remembered? Do they get on that 70's Steelers and 85 Bears level of Super Elite defenses for having such an accomplishment? How many members of that defense and Russell Wilson become HOF'ers off that alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a personal remark. They have been in national news in a negative light the entire time.i'm just quoting history. Lol sports doesn't consume me.

They literally went 5 of 7 in the World Series between 96 and 09 while posting the greatest regular season ever for a baseball team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
