Just noticed something looking on Pro Football Reference.

 

The first Super Bowl season was 1966 the most recent Super Bowl season was 2017.

 

If your team was playing when 1966 started its first week of games they will have played exactly 800 games starting from 1966 through the present day ending the last regular season game in 2017.

 

Some teams began later like Saints 1967,Bengals 1968,Bucs & Seahawks 1976,Jaguars & Panthers 1995,Ravens 1996,Titans 1999 and Houston Texans 2002.

 

The majority of franchises played 800 games but some played less games due to getting awarded a franchise later than 1966 thats why we go by winning percentage overall

 

Overall to see how teams stack up against each other we will go by winning percentage.......

 

 

Below is the overall winning percentage of each franchise in order from best to worst

Vikings are due to win something other than regular season games.

The Titans are the Oilers and should get their record. 

The Ravens are the Browns.  

The Browns are an expansion team that started in 1999.   I hate how they have officially given the Browns history to the Current expansion team.  Their actual record since 1999 makes Tampa Bay look successful.

Even more amazing for the Steelers that they started out 23-58-3 during this time period.

 

Even more amazing was owner Rooney giving Chuck Noll a few years to get things going right and start winning. For three straight years Noll failed 1969,1970 and 1971.

 

From 1972 through 1984 Noll was better than any head coach in the NFL ,13 straight years with no losing seasons going to 7 AFC Championship games during this span and winning 4 Super Bowls. Went to postseason 11 times and won his division 9 times.

 

Noll's last 7 years he only made postseason once.

 

Since 1969 its amazing they have only had 3 head coaches in all that time.

Pre-Dungy Bucs were awful forever, right?

 

Yes they started out in 1976 and lost their first 26 games over 2 seasons in '76 and '77.

 

The only other really bad teams have been the 2008 Lions who i believe were 0-16

 

Then the Browns of 2017 were 0-16

 

The Bucs set the record for worse streak with 26 straight losses.

 

Cleveland currently has 17 straight losses but the team looks to be their best in a long time so not many more,

 

 

As for the Bucs from 1976 thru 1996 the first 20 years the only good years were 1979 a surprise NFC Championship game and 1981 other than '79 and '81  it was bad.

 

In fact overall since 1976 over 40 years ago the only time the team had success was from 1996 thru 2008 in the Dungy/Gruden era and since 2007 there has been no postseason

At the time, "we" (hardcore Browns fans) looked at it as a pride thing that we keep the heritage for the new team coming in. We didn't realize how bad they would suck.

 

I am going to be a Browns fan even if they lose every game for the rest of my life, and there are thousands out there with my same loyalty.

For all the shit we talk about Pittsburgh and Dallas both have stood the test of time....

 

52 seasons and Super Bowls and they are sitting at the top spots.

 

Pittsburgh 6-2 in Super Bowls and Dallas is 5-3

 

Both have been in 8 Super Bowls

 

The years 1970,1971,1974,1975,1977,1978,1979,1992,1993,1995,2005,2008 and 2010 included one or both

 

Including 3 against each other in 1975,1978 and 1995 Steelers won 2 in 1970's and Cowboys won 1 in 1990's

 

However Dallas has won more games in SB era than any other NFL team with 477 wins.......

 

Pittsburgh is close second with 469 wins

Pitt has, I'd argue that Dallas has NOT...

 

Dallas has done next to nothing the past 20-25 years

New England at 6 and San Francisco at 7 deserves props

 

San Francisco from 1981 through 1998 had an amazing streak of winning seasons and Super Bowls

 

New England picked up where they left off in 2000 through 2017 with an amazing streak of winning seasons and Super Bowls

 

Whats wild is at this point both have 17 years of dominance.

 

From 1981 through 2017 San Francisco and New England one or the other have dominated the NFL

 

49ers are 5-1 in Super Bowls and Patriots are 5-5

 

Altogether 49ers/Patriots have appeared in 16 Super Bowls since 1981.

 

Years 49ers/Patriots have appeared in Super Bowl......

 

1981,1984.1985,1988,1989,1994,1996,2001,2003,2004,2007,2011,2012,2014,2016 and 2017
