The Death of NFL Dynasties

The 90's Cowboys dynasty probably never should have happened. They needed to pull off the most lopsided trade ever to get the talent. Then, they ran into a worn out Bills team two years in a row, and then O'Donnell threw them two gift-wrapped INT's to give them a third ring a few years later.

If you think those 2 INT's were lucky, imagine if they got to play that smoke and mirrors Colts team in SB 30

I don't think the Colts do worse than what the Bills did against Dallas. In fact, I think they do better because they would have been loose. Also, they did defeat Dallas the next year at Texas Stadium early in the season.

In terms of dynasties, I always think of two players …

Jerry Norton, the only player to play two seasons in Green Bay during the seven-year stretch in which they win five championships and he was not on a title-winning squad.

Bruce Van Dyke, a 12th round pick by the Eagles in ‘66 who started 93 of 95 games for the Steelers from ‘67 through’73 (earning a Pro Bowl nod in ‘73) who was traded by the Steelers in September of ‘74 for a third round draft pick to the Packers as the Steelers then won two consecutive Super Bowls, in ‘74-‘75 (and again in ‘78 and ‘79).

I don’t get the “worn out” comment on the Bills. In ‘92, they had to play one extra game to get to the Super Bowl, but not in ‘93. How were they any more worn out than any other team was?

In 1992, they were dealing with some injuries by the time they hit the playoffs. Also, watch Four Falls of Buffalo to see what happened at halftime of SB 28.
