Great article. Great list. I agree with #10 and #1. The rest are up for debate.

Well, this list is biased simply towards the length of time the team has existed. The top teams are the oldest, the bottom team is the youngest. Not much higher math equations necessary.

I am surprised the Broncos scored so poorly, even thought they are a younger team. Pat Bowlen, the current owner, is the most successful current owner, with 25 winning seasons and 5 losing seasons.

Bart Starr, Sunday school teacher, MVP of the first two super bowls and proof that nice guys can finish first.

BS list. The highest ranked teams aren’t the ones that have won the most..., they’re the ones that have been around the longest. It’s like a union promoting personnel based on seniority....

shouldn’t they be ranked in terms of domestic violence?

In terms of historical greatness, I would put the Packers #1 and my Bears #2. Maybe the Giants #3. And I think those are the three teams with the most championships.

Dolphins ranked one place ahead of Pats. Just enough to drive Pats fans crazy. I love it.

List lost all credibility ranking Patriots at #17. Lol. Total garbage. Top 2-3 coach all time. Top 2-3 QB all time. Most appearances in Super Bowl all time. Best winning % in all of NFL since 1994 - that’d be 20 years. Team of decade of 2000s.

Not saying #1 or even top 5. But 17 is total joke.

Once again, the Chiefs achieve mediocrity.

Their early years, with Hank Stram and Len Dawson, keep them out of the basement in this poll.

Lately they're performing a different role in the NFL - when they run clips of outstanding plays in the league, it's the Chiefs they're scoring against.

Interesting idea, to go through football history like this.

Author is right that football doesn’t celebrate and connect with the history in the same way that baseball does.

People talk about Babe Ruth and the old days of the Brooklyn Dodgers all the time. How many football fans talk about the Detroit Lions of the ‘50s and their championships? How many talk about the days of the leather helmets?

When people talk about football history, they tend to talk about it from the ‘60s onward, as if the old days of the NFL never happened. Just my observation.
