Dynasty for this poll is defined as the best 3 consecutive seasons in the Superbowl era. This timing is chosen because no team has yet to 3-peat in the Superbowl as champions. Must also have at least 2 Superbowl appearances during the 3-year time period.
 
My top 3
  1. 72-74 Dolphins - lose the SB, go undefeated, then return a third time for back 2 back? Easy #1.
  2. 16-18 Patriots - 3 consecutive SB appearances plus greatest SB comeback.
  3. 96-98 Broncos - highest win total plus defeating the prior SB champ plus following a SB win with 13 straight victories.
Bottom 2
  1. Chiefs - only 1 SB title for 38 wins regular season wins
  2. Packers - a losing season after the title is not a good look (and yes, I know they won the year before the SB, but that is outside the criteria)
 
Three in a row is not a dynasty. There are 2 dynasties. Steelers 70s and Patriots 00s and 10s.

00s and 10s beats 70s. A two decade dynasty is greater than a one decade dynasty.

Easiest debate ever.
 
Don't know why you just did 3 years

What are you talking about?

the late 70s Steelers were a dynasty with 4 SBs in 6 years but take the 70s as a whole the Steelers have the 6th best record. The Cowboys had the best record in the 70s and went to 5 super bowls

The 49ers in the 80s had the best record by a decent margin and won 4 SBs. That's a dynasty.

Great analysis, and I agree.

And while it's not a modern day dynasty, I do have an attachment for that team from the little cannery town near the Upper Peninsula! Lets not forget they won a half dozen NFL titles, in the dozen years or so between the depression and the war, before the Super Bowl. So I suppose that could be considered a dynasty, as they took the top honours that were available at the time.

#2 might be up for debate, but I do find it hard not to give the Pats the poll position.

Actually, it is kinda' easy to forget the Dolphins.

Thanks for the reminder . . .

The Patriots didn't have anything except Tom Brady.......without him = nothing
 
49ers won 5 from 82-95 Four coming in the 80's.

Your opinion. Note that I was not trying to redefine the term "dynasty" I was simply trying to create a debate about the best 3 year run. I couldn't come up with a better term than dynasty.

For a longer dynasty term than 3 years, I would have little to debate with you over based on your first sentence.

Apparently the term dynasty is a hangup. Call it the best 3 year run. I was simply trying to do a slightly different debate.

At least someone saw some interest here. I never should have used the word dynasty - sheesh. Just trying to start a conversation.

So you are a Brady over Belichick kinda guy? Very few coaches seem capable of winning without a HOF QB.

I would suggest that you look to the division Brady played in. The AFC East was a dumpster fire as far as competition goes for the better part of Brady's career. That is my only knock on the Patriots beyond their incessant cheating philosophy (note that there are many teams who try to cheat in my opinion, NE just got caught more. If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin')

One does have to give Brady credit for winning the SB. Who he beat to get there no longer matters when he is winning the championship.

I've coached for many years. Overal I've seen, with few exceptions , that "you can't make steak out of shit". You need the talent to win big.

well it was bad rationale. A dynasty doesnt have to be three in a row

That seems to be the consensus. I suggest everyone is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. So be it.

Never coached myself, played most things. I would suggest that a good coach can polish that turd, but history would side with your sentiment.
 
Dynasty is more than a few years..

Steelers of the 70's, for sure was a dynasty. Pats were too...

Best 3 year run????? Late 80's 49'ers.. There were a lot of good teams in the NFC at that time. 49ers were damn good then.

There were a bunch of mediocre teams. Look at the other top teams QB: Wade Wilson, Dan Majkowski, Jim McMahon, Jim Harbaugh, Jim "Chris" Everett, Bobby Herbert.

Lotta Jims around that time
 
3 years does not a dynasty make. A dynasty has power over several generations.

There can be only one.

The New England Patriots played in half the Super Bowls in the NFL from September 2000 to January 2019, winning 6 of them. That feat, when you consider the road to the Super Bowl in any given year, is phenomenal.

How many Super Bowls do the 49ers win without Joe Montana?
 
The Bears, they had their own rap video.
