Clearly, 12 NFL championships is the threshhold for being considered a dynasty. ;o)

I was undefeated and unscored upon as a goalie in my high school intramural soccer league. Big deal!

How have the Packer's done since the merger of the NFL and AFL.

How have the Packer's done in the salary cap - free agency period?

Apples and oranges.

Okay, I'll give you credit for being a one-man soccer dynasty. :o)

How have the Packer's done in the salary cap - free agency period?

Two Super Bowl appearances, and one Super Bowl victory in the salary cap era.

The free agent/salary cap system was instituted in 1993. Judging "success" by both Super Bowl appearances and victories, here is how it stacks up:

1. Patriots. 4 appearances, 3 victories.

2(t). Denver & Dallas. 2 appearances, 2 victories.

3(t). Green Bay & St. Louis. 2 appearances, 1 victory.

So the Packers have, since 1993, been more successful than 27 other NFL franchises. Not bad. In the salary cap era, the Patriots have been the most successful franchise. That is indisputable.

Looking at the entire history of the league, the Packers won three titles by league standing from 1929-1931. Since the league instituted a championship game, the Packers have appeared in the championship game 12 times, winning 9 of them, for a total of 12 NFL championships. In the history of the league, then, the Packers have been the most successful franchise. That is also indisputable.
