Anybody who thinks the Patriots aren't a dynasty...

...because they ONLY won three out of four Super Bowls by close margins needs to remember that during that time they had the NFL's longest winning streak at 21 games. That's incredible in this era and makes a strong case for all-time greatest team.

all time greatest in the salary cap era. the steeles of the 70's, 49er's of the 80's and the cowboys of the early 90's would have very little trouble with the patriots.

Let's break it down by season and the '85 Chicago Bears would have whipped them all.

Dont take it to heart that some people dont beleive they are a dynasty.. its their opinion and it should be respected. I for one dont care bc I didnt really like either one of the teams in the superbowl this year lol... but thats just me.

Bull we aren't saying they aren't a great team and we realize that they have a dynasty. We are calling into question about the greatest dynasty ever or the greatest team. Remember also Miami won them all during the season one year.

And the only game Bob Griese played all year was the Super Bowl.

How about this reason: They're losing both offensive and defensive coordinators.

I think think the "dynasty" ends after this year. They are going to have some serious trouble next year after losing the DC and OC. I just don't feel you can lose both coordinators and come in next year and be clicking automaticly, even if they are the "Almighty Pats"
