The Packers won 5 NFL titles between 1961 and 1968. 5 in 7 years, that was a dynasty.

The Montreal Canadiens won 5 straight Cups in the 50s. The Islanders won 4 in a row in the 70s and early 80s. Those were dynasties.

The old Steelers won 4 over a 6 year span. If they win their 3rd over a 6 year span this year, they'll have their second dynasty.

The Niners won their 5 over a 12 year stretch. The only argument that they have for a dynasty is that they won two back-to-back. They had some brutal playoff losses to the Redskins, Giants and Cowboys along the way.

The benchmark dynasty in sports history was Russell's Celtics. 8 NBA titles in a row, and 11 over 13 years. You can't call the Celtics of Bird's era a true dynasty because they traded titles with the Lakers.
