@@Kingkam_77 I still get notifications lol. A couple months ago on a different thread I got one from someone who responded to something I posted 10 years ago.

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.
+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.
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...
+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???
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?!
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
@@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
@@davester1970 not to take nothing away from the Raiders but we were just that good the Raiders of the 70s in one of the great teams in NFL history but when we were that good but we had no Franco and no Rocky in that AFC Championship tall order and the game was played at Oakland on top of that
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
@@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!
To the guy at 3:55 The Steelers made the playoffs from 71-79, with 14 teams per conference and only 4 teams per conference making the playoffs. He says they were only good for 6 years. 😂
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
Greatest dynasty ever..in a great era of football..Miami..Oakland. Minnesota..dallas..the Rams...Houston oilers..a lot of good teams..the steelers were not only the greatest team..but beat more quality teams during that era to win the titles
With the most cheating scandals, seriously the Steelers won 4 titles in 6 years, they won back to back titles, twice and put their coach, owner and 9 starters in the Hall of Fame, end of discussion
To the FOOL at the end that said "six years is not enough"; it was a better and tougher league then. The players didn't make the money then and often had off season jobs. The rosters were smaller. Linemen didn't hold on every play, and get away with it. You could actually hit the quarter back. Receivers weren't crying for a PI on every throw to them. Oh, and they actually tackled.
The defense alone should put them at number 1. The Steel Curtain was just an absolute behemoth that nobody could defeat. They absolutely are the greatest dynasty of all time
Terry Bradshaw and the iron curtain played with passion For the Love of the game. This was the guys that should have been paid 100 million.Amen July 26th 2021
This guy doesn't know what hes talking about win four superbowls in six years is amazing. I would like see him be an owner of a team he probably wouldn't be able to even win superbowl!
The Steelers of the 1970's were the greatest because they represented a city that was suffering high employment and the people had nothing else to cling to as the steel mills shut down. The team brought them hope and redefined the relationship between fans and players. No other city and team had that kind of connection. RIP Franco
Apparently not for that fool. Those seasons back in the 70's were WAR. In the playoffs they had to get past the Dolphins, Raiders and the Oilers with Earl Campbell. There was no concussion protocol; I remember Bradshaw going back INTO a game after suffering one. Four in six years back then was AMAZING.
Ham, Lambert, Mean Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood and an offensive explosion!!! Franco God rest his soul 🙏, Terry, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth!!! Lol 🏈 Unbelievable
The Quiff at the end doesn't realize that the Steelers almost won it all in 1976 as well but lost both 1,000 yard running backs to injury in the AFC Championship game. They also never spied on opponents like the Cheatriots who after all played garbage teams.
Most people don't know this, but bradshaw absolutely hates talking about his playing career, and football in general why?because he's a 4 time super bowl champion and a two time super bowl MVP and played for the last true dynasty in the NFL
Yeah they won 4 in 6 years but look at what they did from 1972-84, never below .500 for one season, 11 playoff appearances, 7 AFC title games, 4 AFC titles, 4-0 in the Super Bowl. It was 13 years of excellence, not just the window when they won those Super Bowls.
3:46 Steelers didn’t max out, 76 team was the best team of the era statically. Harris and Beier both had 1,000 rushing yards and were hurt in the AFC championship game. Could’ve won 5 in 6 years. Also defense average allowed under 10 points a game that season too.
Zach The 62 Packers nearly quadrupled their opponents in ppg vs ppga. They dominated an entire decade and the name of that pretty silver colored trophy is named after their coach. HOFers across the board. During a time of no salary caps, the smallest marjet team in North American professional sports was the undisputed greatest dynasty ever.
Slotten by far it's not even close back to back then 2 years later a 3 peat. I wonder why no one else has 3 peated before or since except for of course you gb early team. Don't let ignored fans that only been watching since 2001. Try to tell anyone anything they are the dumbest fan base in the league.
70's Steelers, 60's Packers or 80's 49ers they have all credit to be #1 but I'd have to say 70's Steelers are the best. and the best team the Steelers had in the 70's didn't even win the SB.
Correct!!! Chuck Noll said the 76 Steelers were the best team he ever had. And they lost. Shows you how fortunate you have to be to avoid injuries. Franco and Bleier got hurt in the Divisional round. Which meant, they were done when they went to Oakland.
@@bigpapasmurfz6252 yup I believe that was the year when the Steel Curtain shutout 5 teams on their schedule. Imagine handing 5 teams the big goose egg in one season!
Skinny kid who probably never played football wasn't even alive to watch that team. I don't know, but he probably went with 49er hype. Big glamor city v. City of Champions.
Tbh Dave is right the 70's had some of the best teams in the history of the NFL especially defense although the '85 bears came later it's amazing to watch film on the Doomsday defense of Dallas or the purple people eaters in Minnesota the black hole in Oakland and the Fins in Miami and obviously my fav the Steel curtain in Pittsburgh those were grown men lol today the refs kinda screw the game over but hey when the commissioner is Goodell what can ya do?
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.
Yeah baby!!! No one will ever beat the Steel Curtain. My boy Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, and John Stallworth were all beast back in the day. #steelnation #allwedoiswin #buisnessisbooming #stairwayto7
Harris went to Penn State and Swann to USC, but other than than it’s crazy how most of them went to small colleges Bradshaw- Louisiana Tech Greene- North Texas Lambert-Kent St Greenwood- Ark-Pine Bluff White- East Texas St Holmes -Texas Southern Shell- SC State Stallworth- Alabama A&M
how are they number two? lol two back to backs in the toughest years of football. not to mention they went up against other great teams that won superbowls/or atleast got there.
+JOE CooL the only defense is that the football the packers played in the 60's was better. the steelers beat the 3 best teams of that decade head to head. only one lose to the raiders of that era but that was IT! honestly, 60's packers and 70's steelers are 1a and 1b
their greatest team never made the superbowl because rocky and franco got injured playing baltimore in the playoffs and couldn't even play 1 down against the raiders in the championship game !!! that year was the best defense that they ever had and they didn't just defeat you , they physically punished every opponent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A dynasty is a group of basically the same key players winning Super Bowls over time. 80s 49ers had same QB but replaced most key players between first SB for 1981 season through 4th SB for 1989 Season so I think Steelers get the nod as do 1990s Cowboys & 2000s Patriots.
You talkin about the Raiders of the seventies the dolphins of the 70s the Cowboys of the 70s the Vikings these were very physical very very good teams but they had to get through not to mention the division rivalries they had with the Browns in the Oilers especially even though the Browns back then never won anything but every time we played them it was like we were playing the Cowboys in the Super Bowl the Rivalry with the Browns back then was unbelievable they just went through I believe much tougher competition and you talkin about a team again with 9 Hall of Famers
454ss chevelle This tough 70's Steelers team couldn't get past the tough Dolphins team of early 70's. Dolphin team dominated super Steelers. Csonka, Kiick, Warfield departed after 74 season. O-line handled Greene, Greenwood, Shavers, Hamm, and Russell. Dolphins offense line one of the best in NFL history
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.
As a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan that 70s dynasty with so many Hall of Famers on both sides of the ball plus Chuck Noll & Tony Dungy played on the 78 Steelers all were drafted by the Great Arthur Rooney also when opponents played them after 1 play made want quit playing football
Came directly here after trying to watch "NFL DEfenses: Fearsome Foursome".Their claim of the "best front 4 of all time" made me snicker.Cant make ANY such claim without the hardware
Do you know who we had to play to get to the Superbowl the Oakland Raiders with Tatum Atkinson Long Alzado Matuzak sistrunk the most vicious team along with the steelers everyone had a team back then the oilers dolphins broncos cowboys redskins etc
I hate Pittsburgh, but there is no question the Mean Joe Green era Steelers are the number one NFL dynasty. Maybe number one ever because Jordan's two Bulls threepeat teams were completely different rosters. Only he and Pippen were still on the team from the first threepeat
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
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.
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!
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.
They were the greatest "Team Dynasty" as in the same general nucleus of players. No other team has so many guys with 4 rings (22)
4 rings in six years. Greatest Dynasty of all time.
There was no free agency then though

It was great being a Steelers' fan and living in the Pittsburgh area during the 1970's!
When I met Fran Tarkenton I was wearing a steelers jersey I'm a huge Pittsburgh fan and he said he hated playing them in the 70s
I bet he did! Tarkenton was a great scrambler but he probably feared for his life every time he faced the Steel Curtain.

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.
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.
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
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.
Madden's Raiders, Landry's Cowboys, Shula's Dolphins? Better than all of them and I'd say their dynasty lasted from '72 to '79.
The greatest football teams ever put together...4 super bowl titles..11 hall of famers..7 of 8 years making the AFC championship game...
The greatest dynasty ever!!! Steel Curtain and offensive was fantastic!!! Best ever on both sides of the ball!!! Look how many hall of famers!!!
Greatest dynasty ever..in a great era of football..Miami..Oakland. Minnesota..dallas..the Rams...Houston oilers..a lot of good teams..the steelers were not only the greatest team..but beat more quality teams during that era to win the titles
Easily the greatest NFL dynasty of all time. They defined football in an era where football was still football.
Its the packers....not the patriots
With the most cheating scandals, seriously the Steelers won 4 titles in 6 years, they won back to back titles, twice and put their coach, owner and 9 starters in the Hall of Fame, end of discussion
@@cityofchamps66 ... tell 'em AGAIN!!!
@Chris steelers got there rings and didnt need to spy on teams in practice just crash mouth football.
jordan sheppard didn’t really spy. Steelers lasted what 6 years pats have lasted what 18 years 6 titles 9 conference titles Steelers went to just 4
The 70s Steelers should have been #1 on this list
To the FOOL at the end that said "six years is not enough"; it was a better and tougher league then. The players didn't make the money then and often had off season jobs. The rosters were smaller. Linemen didn't hold on every play, and get away with it. You could actually hit the quarter back. Receivers weren't crying for a PI on every throw to them. Oh, and they actually tackled.
Where does he get 6 years?
They went to the AFC championship in 72 and 83.
4 Super Bowls in 6 years and No. 2?
B S
Jealously
I said the same thing should of be number one I'm a Steeler fan
Exactly was was ahead of them
Steelers are #1
they should be number one and I'm not even a Steelers fan
The defense alone should put them at number 1. The Steel Curtain was just an absolute behemoth that nobody could defeat. They absolutely are the greatest dynasty of all time
Steelers Forever!
Terry Bradshaw and the iron curtain played with passion For the Love of the game. This was the guys that should have been paid 100 million.Amen July 26th 2021
Steelers #1. No contest.
This guy doesn't know what hes talking about win four superbowls in six years is amazing. I would like see him be an owner of a team he probably wouldn't be able to even win superbowl!
I love how they didn’t mention Mel Blount or Donnie Shell
The Steelers of the 1970's were the greatest because they represented a city that was suffering high employment and the people had nothing else to cling to as the steel mills shut down. The team brought them hope and redefined the relationship between fans and players. No other city and team had that kind of connection. RIP Franco
6 years is not enough? 4 Super Bowls is not enough?
Apparently not for that fool. Those seasons back in the 70's were WAR. In the playoffs they had to get past the Dolphins, Raiders and the Oilers with Earl Campbell. There was no concussion protocol; I remember Bradshaw going back INTO a game after suffering one. Four in six years back then was AMAZING.
Still a dynasty
@@Sirharryflash82so true! Just look at replays from the 70s so much more physical than today.
I think Jack Lambert was much more aggressive defender than Joe Greene said himself no. 58 didn't even like himself
This has to be #1.
Ham, Lambert, Mean Joe Greene, L.C.
Greenwood and an offensive explosion!!! Franco God rest his soul 🙏, Terry, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth!!! Lol 🏈
Unbelievable
the GREATEST dynasty ever in football
The Steel Curtain.
Best defense of the 70s
NUMBER #1 DYNASTY! Cmn my STEELERS
The Quiff at the end doesn't realize that the Steelers almost won it all in 1976 as well but lost both 1,000 yard running backs to injury in the AFC Championship game. They also never spied on opponents like the Cheatriots who after all played garbage teams.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Wrong! Steelers are #1 Dynasty. There's the Steelers, and then the rest.....
The Roony's made that whole organization the best ever.
you have to remember that before 1972 they had only one playoff appearance in 1947 in 33 years so yeah they were a dynasty
Back when football was still at its best!!
Most people don't know this, but bradshaw absolutely hates talking about his playing career, and football in general why?because he's a 4 time super bowl champion and a two time super bowl MVP and played for the last true dynasty in the NFL
Greatest dynasty of all time in NFL and we will never see a better defensive team 💯
Best multi season defense ever
Yeah they won 4 in 6 years but look at what they did from 1972-84, never below .500 for one season, 11 playoff appearances, 7 AFC title games, 4 AFC titles, 4-0 in the Super Bowl. It was 13 years of excellence, not just the window when they won those Super Bowls.
Offense may win you games. But defense wins you championships. As a Patriots fan, I respect the Steelers. I wish we had a defense like that.
3:46 Steelers didn’t max out, 76 team was the best team of the era statically. Harris and Beier both had 1,000 rushing yards and were hurt in the AFC championship game. Could’ve won 5 in 6 years. Also defense average allowed under 10 points a game that season too.
This team as number 2 proves the stupidity of these lists. Easily number 1
Zach no the 80s niners should be #1
Zach The 62 Packers nearly quadrupled their opponents in ppg vs ppga. They dominated an entire decade and the name of that pretty silver colored trophy is named after their coach. HOFers across the board. During a time of no salary caps, the smallest marjet team in North American professional sports was the undisputed greatest dynasty ever.
Slotten by far it's not even close back to back then 2 years later a 3 peat. I wonder why no one else has 3 peated before or since except for of course you gb early team. Don't let ignored fans that only been watching since 2001. Try to tell anyone anything they are the dumbest fan base in the league.
Slotten George Halas did more for football than there coach the trophy should be named after him
@@tomw3886 Montana was from Pittsburgh so..... yeah you're welcome
I watch this on TV and the 1985 Bear's. He said 6years is not enough.yet they had two years of greatnees
70's Steelers, 60's Packers or 80's 49ers they have all credit to be #1 but I'd have to say 70's Steelers are the best. and the best team the Steelers had in the 70's didn't even win the SB.
I wanna see all those teams during those era's go against each other.
Correct!!!
Chuck Noll said the 76 Steelers were the best team he ever had.
And they lost.
Shows you how fortunate you have to be to avoid injuries.
Franco and Bleier got hurt in the Divisional round.
Which meant, they were done when they went to Oakland.
@@bigpapasmurfz6252 yup I believe that was the year when the Steel Curtain shutout 5 teams on their schedule. Imagine handing 5 teams the big goose egg in one season!
The 75 or 78 steelers are the best teams ever
Skinny kid who probably never played football wasn't even alive to watch that team. I don't know, but he probably went with 49er hype. Big glamor city v. City of Champions.
Tbh Dave is right the 70's had some of the best teams in the history of the NFL especially defense although the '85 bears came later it's amazing to watch film on the Doomsday defense of Dallas or the purple people eaters in Minnesota the black hole in Oakland and the Fins in Miami and obviously my fav the Steel curtain in Pittsburgh those were grown men lol today the refs kinda screw the game over but hey when the commissioner is Goodell what can ya do?
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.
Patriots had to play in the salary cap era which honestly makes their dynasty more impressive.
Chiefs pay refs
Yeah baby!!! No one will ever beat the Steel Curtain. My boy Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, and John Stallworth were all beast back in the day. #steelnation #allwedoiswin #buisnessisbooming #stairwayto7
+Solomon Kessington Don't forget Mike Webster, the greatest center in NFL history (with all due respect to Jim Otto and Chuck Bednarik).
Harris went to Penn State and Swann to USC, but other than than it’s crazy how most of them went to small colleges
Bradshaw- Louisiana Tech
Greene- North Texas
Lambert-Kent St
Greenwood- Ark-Pine Bluff
White- East Texas St
Holmes -Texas Southern
Shell- SC State
Stallworth- Alabama A&M
Ham - PSU
They still the best ever ❤
3:43 I dont think that guy has a damn clue what he is talking about but that's just my opinion
Guarantee it
how are they number two? lol two back to backs in the toughest years of football. not to mention they went up against other great teams that won superbowls/or atleast got there.
+JOE CooL the only defense is that the football the packers played in the 60's was better. the steelers beat the 3 best teams of that decade head to head. only one lose to the raiders of that era but that was IT! honestly, 60's packers and 70's steelers are 1a and 1b
CMartin6688 Dude, you have no balls... You must have a packers fan as a roomie, yer pappie, or something...
Ah so that means the 60's Packers take #1...but could the 60's packers beat the steel curtain?
Should be #1
WTF. Who the hell can beat these guys out at 1
their greatest team never made the superbowl because rocky and franco got injured playing baltimore in the playoffs and couldn't even play 1 down against the raiders in the championship game !!! that year was the best defense that they ever had and they didn't just defeat you , they physically punished every opponent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The announcer for NFL films loves that word , 'prolific'
A dynasty is a group of basically the same key players winning Super Bowls over time. 80s 49ers had same QB but replaced most key players between first SB for 1981 season through 4th SB for 1989 Season so I think Steelers get the nod as do 1990s Cowboys & 2000s Patriots.
#1 dynasty, no debate
steelers played better compitition period them raiders, cowboys,vikings and dolphins were tough
Yes that is correct they went up against much tougher competition then the Patriots did
You talkin about the Raiders of the seventies the dolphins of the 70s the Cowboys of the 70s the Vikings these were very physical very very good teams but they had to get through not to mention the division rivalries they had with the Browns in the Oilers especially even though the Browns back then never won anything but every time we played them it was like we were playing the Cowboys in the Super Bowl the Rivalry with the Browns back then was unbelievable they just went through I believe much tougher competition and you talkin about a team again with 9 Hall of Famers
454ss chevelle
This tough 70's Steelers team couldn't get past the tough Dolphins team of early 70's. Dolphin team dominated super Steelers. Csonka, Kiick, Warfield departed after 74 season. O-line handled Greene, Greenwood, Shavers, Hamm, and Russell. Dolphins offense line one of the best in NFL history
Can you imagine winning the coin toss and electing for the other team to start the game offensively.
most feared defense ever.
It's hard not to be biased towards your favorite team when doing these lists
I have Patriot fans tell me that the modern Patriots are the best dynasty I call bs 70s Steelers are the best period
Name me one other team that has had as many players go to the Hall of Fame? NONE The 70's Steelers should be number one!
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.
As a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan that 70s dynasty with so many Hall of Famers on both sides of the ball plus Chuck Noll & Tony Dungy played on the 78 Steelers all were drafted by the Great Arthur Rooney also when opponents played them after 1 play made want quit playing football
Who the hell was ranked number one I thought Lombardi trophies showed the dominance of your team?
Came directly here after trying to watch "NFL DEfenses: Fearsome Foursome".Their claim of the "best front 4 of all time" made me snicker.Cant make ANY such claim without the hardware
The 60s Packers were awesome but the 70s Steelers were definitely the best.
The NFL screwed it up BIG TIME, there´s no dynasty better than the 70s Steelers, nor there will be another like it , ever
Four Super Bowl in Six years ???? Back to Back TWICE!!!! Really???
9 HOF and a HOF coach on one team? Scary
10?
HATERS WE KNOW THE TRUTH STEELERS GREATEST DYNASTY OF ALL TIME PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Do you know who we had to play to get to the Superbowl the Oakland Raiders with Tatum Atkinson Long Alzado Matuzak sistrunk the most vicious team along with the steelers everyone had a team back then the oilers dolphins broncos cowboys redskins etc
Rocky Bleier went to my high school.
I hate Pittsburgh, but there is no question the Mean Joe Green era Steelers are the number one NFL dynasty. Maybe number one ever because Jordan's two Bulls threepeat teams were completely different rosters. Only he and Pippen were still on the team from the first threepeat
Why do you hate us :(
The NFL has changed so much now
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
1 playoff appearance from 1933 to 1971. What a rich and embellished history😂.
Who is this guy that says 6 years wasn’t enough?
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.
They wouldn't score against The Steel Curtain
3:09 Josh Stallworth?
Will always be #1.
You could bounce a ball in the defensive huddle n hit 8 Hall of Famers
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!
Steelers
Lambert , Greene , ham , Greenwood ,Holmes , white
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.
Steelers are the best 49ers only have 5 ring Steelers have 6 ring
Ever heard of the 1960's Packers?
+Sonja Rossey that means nothing what so ever
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
@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.
