In my opinion they are a Dynasty in every sense of the word. Show me where it needs to be consecutive Championship appearances?? As for the Bills???? Pa-leeez.....you can't be a Dynasty if you have never won the brass ring Mike!! 3 Superbowl wins in a 10 year stretch makes it as far as I am concerned. Not to mention to be a dominant as they have been.

You're as bad as those Yankee fans who kept on with that stupid "26 and counting" routine when they went 10 years between WS wins.

Sure, they won 3 in 4 years too at the end of the last decade---but by 2004 that dynasty was cooked, even though they contended every year in between.
