LucasOilStadium Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hi, Colts Nation! The NFL's enduring 2016 season finally concludes tonight, when the New England Patriots play the Atlanta Falcons to see who will also earn and win the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LI being played at the NRG (Energy) Stadium, in Houston, Texas. Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Erin Andrews are announcing the game worldwide for The NFL On FOX, including locally in Indianapolis, on WXIN FOX Channel 59, live on HD. No injuries, but I want to see the Falcons Rise Up, and win their first Super Bowl for Atlanta! http://www.nfl.com/super-bowl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_LI http://www.footballdb.com/ Super Bowl LI - Patriots Vs.

2006Coltsbestever Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Michael Irvin brought up a great point just now. He was asked if the Patriots win tonight is it the greatest Dynasty of all-time? He said yes but not the best team ever. He said his Dallas teams that won the SB would wipe the floor with any of their teams. I honestly agree that any of those Cowboys would beat any of their teams. I don't think wipe the floor but Dallas had better teams the years they won. I don't think any of the Pats teams were better than the 1989 49ers or 1994 49ers either regarding their run.

I read a comment the other day that said the Pats haven't blown anyone out in their Super Bowls. In that sense, they haven't been as dominant as other dynasties (49ers stomped the Dolphins and Broncos, Cowboys nearly beat every team in a blowout in their Super Bowl wins). That's not to say the Pats are a bad team or a bad organization. They're very well-run. But I wouldn't put them as the greatest dynasty of all-time because they could easily be 0-6 (or 6-0) in Super Bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being a Dynasty over along time is different than having the best team of all-time for a certain season. To me the best Pats team is 2004 but they weren't as great as the 1992 Cowboys or 1989 49ers for example. The 2006 Colts would even give them a run for their money especially if the game was at Indy. The Colts were 10-0 at home that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you ask me, they don't check enough to be the greatest dynasty of all-time. I'm not arguing that they're a bad team. They are still a very successful franchise and they have accomplished a dynasty. Pittsburgh made it to 4 in 6 years, going 4-0. San Fran made it to 4 in 9 years, going 4-0. Dallas made it to 3 in 4 years, going 3-0. In the 2000s, the Pats made it to 4 in 7 years, going 3-1. Since 2005, they only have 1 Super Bowl victory.

I think a lot of it too is, Same Core teams vs the Franchise overall. As a Franchise the Patriots have been the best I have ever seen over a long period of time or equal to what the 49ers accomplished from 1981-1994. They have won with different Core's though other than the 2 main constants in Brady and Belichick. Their 2014 team was completely different compared to their 2004 team other than Brady and Belichick. Cowboys in the 90's did it with the same players in Aikman, Smith, Irvin, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Patriots fans enjoy it while you have this because it wont last forever. Just like when Bulls fans had Jordan. Since Jordan retired the Bulls haven't even sniffed a Championship. Once Belichick and Brady are gone or maybe because of Tom's age their time is probably getting close to an end. I think the Pats will still be Great next season but after that who knows? The Colts fans will probably never have it as good as we have had it with Peyton either but at least we have hope with Andrew Luck. Andrew has at least led us back to a Title Game. I think Ballard will be much better than Grigson as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
