You can effectively argue that the 70's Steelers, 60's Packers, and 80's 49ers each have a resume that deserves #1. My vote is on the Steelers, but that's just me.

[@TheSSUltimateGoku]

+Curtis Rupp 60s Packers 15 world championships one more than the Steelers did. Yes the NFL championships which was the Super Bowl before the Super Bowl count. At the Super Bowl started a year earlier the Packers would've been the first and only team to this day that would have 3 Straight Titles. Which there's no question they would've won against the AFL team and 65. No team in the NFL since the Super Bowl fully emerged in 1970 has been able to win three straight titles only the 60s Green Bay Packers with the 65 NFL title to the 66 Super Bowl title to the 67 Super Bowl title. The 60s Packers for that alone deserves to be number one.

[@donquixote...]

TheSSUltimateGoku An era of more limited competition...

[@donquixote...]

Matthew Beazley The Steelers also had to battle other dynasties within their era (i.e., Cowboys, Dolphins, Raiders). I like the 49ers as well, but (to generalize) the Bears arguably were a one hit wonder, the Cowboys were at the end of their rope (early 80s), and they got beat by Bill Parcels Giants. And a valid argument can also now be made for the Belichick-Brady led Patriots...

[@TheSSUltimateGoku]

+Don Quixote Not really the Baltimore Colts with Johnny Unitasin the 60s the Rams of the 60s were very competitive. The Giants in the early 60s were competitive. The Cleveland Browns with Jim Brown of the 60s were competitive. Do I have to keep going on???

[@donquixote...]

TheSSUltimateGoku Yeah, actually you do need to keep going... There of course was competition is the point you are making, but not the volume of it as post merger... You're merely trying to argue a point I was not making, and no one would try to argue there's less competition post merger.

As a Bears fan, I have to give props to the Steelers having the best defensive stretch of all time because the 1985 & 1986 seasons were great on defense for the Bears, but the Steelers had it for more than just two seasons and it was the key reason those 4 Super Bowls came to Pittsburgh during that great stretch of Steeler's franchise history.

[@joecolabelli4339]

It’s so funny that the Steel Curtain was so dominant they had to nerf it

[@markcoucke7211]

Check out what the Steelers defense did in 1976 and I am pretty sure they didn't even go to the SB that year.

[@hugh2hoob668]

Ditkas was from Pittsburgh

[@borislonic7474]

I'm a diehard Packers fan and even I think those 70s Steelers teams should be ranked above them at #1. The Steelers won 4 Super Bowls over a 6 year span against the toughest teams in arguably the toughest era of pro football. They beat the Vikings, Cowboys twice & Rams in the Super Bowl as well as beating The Raiders and Oilers among other top quality teams on their way to the Super Bowl. None of these teams were pushovers by any stretch of the imagination. They also won back to back titles twice, a feat which hasn't been matched since. Talk about sheer dominance! The 60s Lombardi Packers were some amazing teams as well, but the teams they beat weren't of the same competitive calibre as the ones the Steelers beat in the 70s.

[@davester1970]

If Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier weren't injured for the 1976 AFC Championship Game, the Steelers could have easily won their 5th Super Bowl that year instead of the Raiders. The 1976 Steelers had their finest defensive year that season only allowing 28 points in their final 9 games that season.

[@andblosh7231]

Sorry for asking but the ‘60 packers won 5 nfl championships in a row and 2 super bowls also in a row also they lose the 60 and 61 championship and if they won them it could be 7 nfl championships in a row also they beat the giants,colts in their stadium Then in the lambeu field they beat by 25 blowout points the browns then they do the same in 1966 they beat the cowboys allowing only 10 points And in 1967 the Packers won the best conference championships game in nfl history winning 2 super bowls in a row and how do you dare to say that they are above the Steelers?!

[@ivansanta-maria1328]

Thank u absolutley they beat great teams on their way to the Super Bowl and they beat great teams in the Super Bowl not taking nothing away from what the Patriots accomplished but I just think they'll never be another team as talented as strong you're talkin about 9 Hall of Famers on that team

[@ivansanta-maria1328]

@@davester1970 I agree it would have been the first team to win 5 but they had no Franco and no Rocky Bleier that year 76 was actually the most dominant defense statistically

[@ivansanta-maria1328]

[@matthewledonne1244]

Packers had 5 championships in 7 years, with a 3-peat which is impressive. Great teams, great coach, great players. However, I have to lean toward the Steelers as number 1 for the following reasons. 1. Caliber of teams they went up against through the decade. 70s had more competitive teams. 2. Playoff format. Some of the Packers titles were when the teams with the best record in the Eastern Division and the Western Division faced off. One game for the title. For the Steelers, all titles were in a playoff bracket where you needed to win at least 3 games to be champ. 3. Length of schedule. Packers won titles on 14 game schedules. Steelers did it on both 14 and 16 game schedules. This also adds on to the previous point of playing more games overall. More games = higher risk of injury. Steelers got more wear and tear over the season and came away with rings. 4. BIGGEST REASON...passing rules changes in 1978. Steelers went back to back before and after the rule changes that changed how offense and defense was played. This showed that it didn't matter the situation, Steelers were gonna get it done.

[@jeffthewhiff]

It was great being a Steelers' fan and living in the Pittsburgh area during the 1970's!

[@lynnturman8157]

What they don't even mention in this is that all these Steeler hall of famers at just about every position were all draft picks under Knoll that never played for any other team. They went from being the worse team in the NFL to winning four super bowls. And all with the SAME home grown players. That has never happened before or since. And why they deserve to be #1 dynasty.

[@kevinchandler179]

Agreed, 💯 percent!!! God rest Franco soul 🙏!!!! Terry was great as well, people have to realize, he didn't have to put up gaudy numbers, they didn't throw the ball 40 or 50 times a game like now days? It was a very different Era and when Bradshaw needed to make a huge throw to Swann or Stallworth he could, and Franco Harris was a beast!!!!! And, to have a defense like that to lean on, unbelievable!!!!!!

[@lynnturman8157]

@@kevinchandler179 Bradshaw at his best--no other QB could touch him, before or since. People who were there to witness it know that. People who weren't there don't know that because all they have to go on is his stats, which doesn't tell the whole story.

The 70's was the TOUGHEST era ever and winning 4 SUPER BOWLS in 6 seasons and NOT #1 ?? !! I am NOT even a fan of Pittsburgh but they were /are # 1 COME ON NOW!

thats mathematical true

[@Spacejunk57]

[@chulo9454]

Pats

[@Hollowsmith]

The 70's Steelers. *STILL* the only team to win 4 Super Bowls in 6 years. The 60's Packers were winning their championships against considerably smaller league sizes. And the modern Patriots were basically the product of the greatest QB ever with one of the greatest coaches ever, and everyone else was a revolving cast. But the 70's Steelers were special because it was mainly THE SAME CREW during that 6 year run. Just a team of absolute badasses on both sides of the ball. The most COMPLETE dynasty ever.

[@benjaminjackson4797]

all these defenses your talking about are one year wonders, steel curtain year after year, Dynasty

[@Donegal513]

The guy that said "it's hard to imagine a scenario where the Steelers win more than 4" is an idiot. He does know that the year of the immaculate reception they lost in the AFC Championship right? So there is another time they were one step away from another SB. In 1976 Bradshaw and half the offense got hurt and the defense carried them to the AFC Championship game. That guy does not know football and shouldn't be on this. They could have won with different change of fortunes at least 2 more.

[@Don1228]

With that 1976 team that lost Franco and Rocky they ran the table after starting 1-4 with SIX shutouts and destroyed Baltimore, went up against the Raiders with only one running back, they would and should have won 5 out of 6. That was THE greatest Steelers team of all of them...

[@matthewvitka4455]

Donegal513 exactly. played in 2 other afc championship games and lost by only 4 points to the perfect dolphins. the fact the steelers won the afc championship 4 times in the 70s with how great of a conference it was with the dolphins, raiders, colts, oilers, chargers, etc fielding some excellent teams is a great accomplishment in itself, let alone the fact they won all 4 super bowl appearances which enhances that even more. they beat some of the greatest teams ever assembled. that dallas team was amazing, making it to 5 super bowls. madden always had great teams in oakland. the late 70s oilers were among the best teams to never reach the super bowl and just had the unfortunate problem of playing in the same era of those steelers.

[@jl2b2b]

Donegal513 - Agreed. But one could argue that the Packers of the 60's had an easier route to a championship due to fewer teams and no Super Bowls to play in until the final 2 years of the dynasty. And the opponents in those 2 SBs were probably not the best of competition at the time. But I'm a Steelers fan and consider those 3 teams equally great and equally deserving.

[@pst702]

Donegal513 ..I agree... in fact the '76 Steelers defense had a few SHUTOUTS.. where is this guy looking at stats.. a moron... the Steelers basic foundation of defense started in the early 70's..even though they didn't win in 72,73,76 & 77.. the defense ranked in the top 5 of those years as well.. if injuries didn't hit them in 76... you're looking at a threepeat... but injuries are part of the history as well... nevertheless, any team duplicating 4 titles in 6 years would be extremely difficult today... Steelers were the Dynasty of the 70's

[@Donegal513]

Andrew Hoang... Not sure exactly what you missed in my comment. It seemed to be pretty straight forward to me. You took what I commented and made it something it was clearly not. No where was I trying to make an argument in support of the 70s Steelers greatness by using "change of fortunes." As you stated correctly that is a stupid argument. If I was applying that argument solely to try and bolster that Steelers legacy it would be idiotic. However, I was not. I was responding to the moron that was denigrating the 70s Steelers by stating that somehow they were only capable of winning titles for 6 years. That NFL analyst demonstrated that he had no knowledge of what he was talking about. Those 70s Steelers teams made multiple runs in years where they did not win a title. Getting as close as the AFC Championship game in 2 other seasons. In getting to those AFC Championship games, they were only a "change of fortune" away from more Super Bowl appearances, and possible victories. So, that analyst's statement of it being hard to come up with a scenario where they could have won more than 4 is just down right stupid. It is clear that you could easily find a scenario where that team wins more than the 4 they won.

The Roony's made that whole organization the best ever.

[@juliuscaesar1388]

9 HOF and a HOF coach on one team? Scary

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

10?

[@cityofchamps66]

This should be the tiebreaker to determine the better dynasty at least in comparison to the Packers of the 60's and the 49ers of the 80's; to win the Super Bowl in the 1970's you had to beat these teams/coaches/QBs- Dallas/Landry/Staubach-both in the HOF, Miami/Shula/Griese-both in the HOF, Oakland/Madden/Stabler-both in the HOF and Minnesota/Grant/Tarkenton-both in the HOF, and a few other very good teams in the Colts, Broncos, Rams and Oilers, to make the playoffs nearly every season, get to 4 Super Bowls and go undefeated, that is the gauntlet of gauntlets, period

[@sjspak]

Geek at the end said 4 rings in 6 years isn't a dynasty. That's textbook dynasty in any sport. I'm guessing the Pats are #1. It took them longer to win 5 SBs, they were all close games and there should be asterisks by the first 3 due to Spygate.

[@josephruiz7233]

The videotaping practices of spygate were not banned by the NFL until 2006. Every Patriots Superbowl (ALL 6 NOW) from 2001 to present is legitimate whether you like it or not.

NUMBER #1 DYNASTY! Cmn my STEELERS

[@rufusgoldstein2655]

The 60s Packers were awesome but the 70s Steelers were definitely the best.

[@bigmizzy8187]

All 4 Superbowls were won by the same players not like today or even the San Francisco team in the 90s that went yo Dion Sanders, Ricky waters and said "take a paycut for a one year contract but I guarantee a super bowl win

[@Rescue162]

I'm partial to the 70's Steelers, because I grew up as a kid admiring them. But the 80's 49ers have a good case, as do the 90's Cowboys. By the time you get the 2000's New England Patriots, yes they won more Super Bowls, but I question the quality of the competition. Tom Brady never had to play the '85 Bears or John Elway's Denver teams, or Shula's Dolphins or Madden's Raiders.

[@mohit4679]

Patriots had to play in the salary cap era which honestly makes their dynasty more impressive.

[@davidscott1302]

You could bounce a ball in the defensive huddle n hit 8 Hall of Famers

[@stacigabrish909]

Should be #1

[@otisthomas8704]

tom brady vs nfl rules from 1970 to 1977 bumping receivers down field until the ball is thrown , brady no chance against raiders steelers cowboys = NO PATRIOTS SUPERBOWL APPEARANCES OR WINS

[@Crusher6436]

3:09 Josh Stallworth?

[@DrewRandIsCool]

Chuck Noll reminds me so much of Bill Belichick

[@marknethercutt3381]

But, Chuck better.

[@joebuck4496]

Although not a dynasty, I truly believe that Eli’s Giants beat any Super Bowl team. There was such a cohesiveness about that team that is hard to put into words.

[@mr.nobody68]

They wouldn't score against The Steel Curtain

[@phishfearme2]

as a huge Steeler fan - I have to say that what the Patriots are doing now - creating a dynasty when everything (free agency, schedules, drafting, etc.) is in place to PREVENT dynasties - needs to be given the nod as number 1. dynasties were common in the 70's and 80's - there's only 1 these days.

[@josephruiz7233]

@you're right: "Cheating Scandals", yet from the 1970s through late 80s, whole teams were juiced up on roids, and the whole "spygate" thing wasn't banned by the NFL until 2006.

[@yankeewitnobrim1669]

Lambert , Greene , ham , Greenwood ,Holmes , white

[@LetReasonPrevail1]

Will always be #1.

[@gavinhall1991]

They are only 2??? That means The 80's 49ers HAVE to be one, RIGHT!?!?!?!?! To me the Steelers are 1, cause they are more dynamic. But the 49ers were beast, not gunna lie.

[@sonjarossey4617]

Steelers are the best 49ers only have 5 ring Steelers have 6 ring

[@mateogaeta287]

Ever heard of the 1960's Packers?

[@suegjelsvik2201]

+Sonja Rossey that means nothing what so ever

[@keithclark8299]

Broncos13 Fan They chose the 1989 49ers. But the 1978 Steelers would beat the 1989 49ers because that team would hit and hurt their opponents

[@josephruiz7233]

@Harry Engel: The 1989 49ers beat both of those Steelers Teams. The 1989 49ers have what is probably among the most underrated defenses of all time.

[@Hollowsmith]

You know your defense is good when ABSOLUTE STUDS like LC Greenwood and Dwight White aren't in the Hall Of Fame, simply because the Hall Of Fame had to choose between them and 5 OTHER 70's Steelers defenders already in the Hall! Think about that. LC Greenwood was a 6-time Pro Bowler, 4 time Super Bowl Champ, and a member of the NFL 70's All Decade Team...and that's not good enough to make the Hall compared to his defensive peers. The Steel Curtain was RIDICULOUS.

[@lonnybustamante1763]

You could actually literally see franco catch the ball out of the air in this highlight and the raiders and fans are still crying to this day i dont whats a matter with these. People!

[@geesus77]

Not.a word about Mike Webster

[@patrickevidente1208]

Because he was on steroids.

[@Staceyatkinson4496]

Number 2,are you joking, number 2
