NFL DYNASTIES THAT NEVER HAPPENED

This video looks at all of the potential dynasties throughout NFL history that came so close to happening, but never actually did. I've always found this topic to be fascinating so I decided to make a nice little video about it. In order to make my list a team had to make at least 1 Super Bowl appearance in the decade they're listed in. Enjoy.

You seem pretty dismissive of how Brady willed that Wilson pick. Maybe other QBs would have more rings if they simply used mind force to make their top 5 defenses make plays to win games.

[@alexanderguerrero347]

i mean Russ had a top 5 defense all through the 2014 playoff run and the defense was clutch against Carolina and helped against the Packers. Maybe better and more experienced quarterbacks know how to play against top defenses than a third year quarterback.

[@blakepettys28]

So much of playoff success is dependent on fluke plays going your way. This is a baseball example, but it still proves my point. The 2004 and 2005 St Louis Cardinals won 100 or more games each season, but didn’t win a single game in the world series either year. Then they limped into the playoffs with a 83-78 record in 2006, faced an untalented Padres team, somehow beat the best team in baseball that year in the Mets because their bullpen gave up home runs to So Taguchi and Yadier Molina (who hit just above .200 that season), and beat the historically unlucky Tigers due to their pitchers not knowing how to throw a baseball to an infielder. This is very similar to the 2006 colts, who had better teams in 04 and 05, but despite mediocre performances from Manning in the playoffs (outside of the second half of the AFC championship), won a super bowl

They lost the Super Bowl to the Ravens on a controversial no-call, then lost the NFC Championship vs Seattle in a very controversial game involving the refs (and this is coming from a Seahawks fan), then Harbaugh got fired and Kaepernick did his civil rights stuff. Had those last 2 things never happened and the first two went slightly differently, I seriously think Kaepernick/Harbaugh would be on the level of Rodgers/McCarthy, Wilson/Carrol, Brees/Payton and Brady/Bellicheck.

Pittsburgh at one point had an all-time great QB, all-time great WR, should've-been all-time great HB, all-time great OLB, and all-time great SS, they got screwed out of a #1 seed because Tom Brady willed the refs to forget what a catch is, and we probably would've beaten Denver in the 2016 Divisional Round if Burfict didn't attempt manslaughter on Antonio Brown
