NFL dynasties disappeared; could Seahawks be one?


The NFL does what it can via the draft, salary cap, free agency and, coming soon, expanded playoffs to engineer a sense of parity, making each team and each fan base believe it has a chance to win on any given Sunday — and to reach any season’s Super Bowl.

Those efforts might finally have brought about the death of dynasties: It’s been a decade since the New England Patriots won the 2003 and 2004 titles, the longest stretch without a repeat champion in nearly a half-century of Super Bowls.

“The days of the dominant teams may be gone forever,” said Ted Sundquist, a former general manager of the Denver Broncos and their director of college scouting when they won back-to-back Super Bowls in the late 1990s. “It’s hard. It’s beyond hard. There are different types of players now, different types of systems set up. The game’s changed.”

Sundquist is among those who thinks the reigning champion Seattle Seahawks could be equipped to buck the recent trend.

Its not as impossible as they act like it is.

Obviously the Pats did it.

Then there have been a few more that won two.

The Broncos won b2b, and could have made a run at a third if their QB was just a year or two younger.

The Steelers went to 3 SBs with Ben. Won two, it wouldn't have been "impossible" to win that third one.

Then there's the Giants. If THAT squad with Eli can win two, its not a stretch for a better team to win three.

One of the keys to all of the dynasties in the last 3-4 decades has been a very young team when they win the first title. Cowboys, Niners, Rams, Patriots. Oh, and DEFENSE.
