By that account, the 49ers would of never had a dynasty. It took them about 8 years to get 4, and 13 to get 5. All other teams did it in 4-5 year window, Steelers did it in a 5 year window I believe. Where as all the other 3 SB win teams did it in a 4 year window. |
Re: Will the Saints have a dynasty before Brees retires?
I honestly do not believe the Saints will have one of those so called dynasty teams, but I do believe within the next couple of years they could get another Super Bowl. It's not an issue that the Saints aren't capable of a so called dynasty, it is a situation that right now there are so many excellent NFC teams that they will cancel each other out. NFC is freaking loaded and getting even better. Right now out of the 16 NFC teams, you can make a legitimate case for most as to why they will make the playoffs in 2012. It should remain that way for at least a few years.

Re: Will the Saints have a dynasty before Brees retires?
The definition of Dynasty has nothing to do with rings, or wins, it has to do with Blood line... If you want to put rings into it then you find a Grandfather, Father, and Son all with Superbowl rings and then you have a "Dynasty".
Some NFL fans and teams need to quit feeding their ego's by bending definitions to suit their needs. |
Re: Will the Saints have a dynasty before Brees retires?
If we can get the the Superbowl win in our own house, I'd say we are off to a great start.

We need to get past the Seattles and the 49ers's and the Rams before we can
breathe the D word. |

The point is that a dynasty is whichever team had the most rings in a decade. Some people take for granted just HOW HARD it is to win ONE super bowl. If winning 3-4 super bowls was a simple feat, there wouldn't still be long running teams like the titans(oilers), lions, seahawks, falcons, and browns etc who are still missing rings. Winning 3 or more in 10 years is a pretty difficult feat. Basketball and a ton of other sports? Not so much. |

You could also say the raiders had a dynasty in the last half of the 70s combined with the first half of the 80s. But the point of a dynasty isn't really the date or time. It's more about the success. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynasty_(sports) What defines a sports dynasty? - The Hockey News The "dynasty" that you're referring is more similar to what Chinese kings would go through when they'd pass it down from father to son. The "dynasty in sports" refers to when a certain team dominates in a short amount of time(similar to what a kingdom does). It's a subjective term. You could say the bills sort of had a dynasty. It's like saying whether you prefer Joe Montanna or Dan Marino. Montanna had rings but Marino had stats. It just depends on what you think makes a QB. It's just the official term for dynasty in sports is winning a lot in a certain era. It has nothing to do with ego or passing it down through families. I hate the cowboys but I still call what they had in the 90s a "dynasty". |

We are quite capable of beating the not so obviously elite teams like the eagles, cowboys. We're also able to beat big defenses like the texans and giants and the 9ers(the defense lost us that game, not the offense). The media has made this crazy idea that the NFC is super powerful compared to the AFC but most of that is based upon how they THINK certain teams will do(eagles, cowboys, bears, redskins, panthers etc). You take these teams away and the NFC doesn't become much better than the AFC. Here's NFC teams we KNOW are good. Saints Packers 9ers Giants Lions Here's AFC teams we KNOW are good. Steelers Ravens Patriots Texans Broncos Not much difference. The only obviously good teams in the NFC that actually TRIED to improve upon themselves was us and the 49ers. The packers still have no defense. The giants still have a meh running game and struggle in secondary. And the Lions only consistent players are STILL only Megatron, Stafford, and Suh. Plus they had arrests. We had problems in defense. Now we've got a promising linebacking corps with Lofton and Hawthorne(who will be back come week 1), a good all around secondary with Malcolm Jenkins and co, and a d line that has shown greatness before and just got akiem hicks who looks like a pro. If our defense somehow made SHANLE look good(which it did in the texans game) then we've got to be doing something right. |
