Top tier all have DYNASTIES and at least four Superbowl rings. What some gain in having more rings, like the Steelers, others gains in sheer wins and volume of success, like the Patriots going to nine AFC Championship games and 6 Superbowls since the BB/Brady era began, not to mention a championship game once per decade before.
Giants and Packers have four rings but no Dynasty and no level of dominance remotely close to the top tier, putting them in with the three ring franchises, but above Denver who basically just gets an honorable mention for the Elway era.
I'd ask to see your list but I'm sure it would just be trolling and not worth seeing.
Don't the Packers have 13 NFL Championships and Bears have 9?
Eagles have three! Just one short of the Patriots.
This is a pretty cool website you should check out. You can filter it from all time, pre-1996 and post-1996.
Brady and Belichick have been on a completely different level from the rest of the NFL since their era began. It's actually sort of absurd, considering the salary cap was in part meant to keep a level playing field among football teams and spread the success around.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have vaulted the Patriots from a basement tier franchise into the all time elite of historic teams.
Meanwhile, the Raiders have gone in the complete opposite direction, at one time being an NFL powerhouse, with the last decade+ really cutting into their prestige as an all time franchise.

When Patriots get `caught` filming defensive signals, it's a giant scandal.
Meanwhile….
Dolphins caught taping Patriots defensive signals from sidelines in 2006.
Q: How about the spying thing Jimmy. You're a coach does that bother you what Belichick did?
JJ: Oh please. I've said it on our show. Eighteen years ago a scout for the chiefs told me what they did, and he said what you need to do is just take your camera and you go and zoom in on the signal caller and that way you can sync it up. The problem is that if they're not on the press box side you can't do it from the press box, you have to do it from the sideline. This was 18 years ago.
Q: You think the NFL came down too hard on them?
JJ: No, no, I said it on the show. He was wrong for doing it for the simple reason that the league knew this was going on not ust in New England but around the league. And the league sent out the memorandum to all of the teams saying you cannot do this. And os that's when Bill Belichick was wrong. After he got the memorandum saying don't do it any more, he did it.
Q: Did you ever steal signals?
JJ: Oh in a heartbeat, yeah. Yes I did.
Q: Via video, Jimmy? Or no?
JJ: Oh yeah, I did it with video and so did a lot of other teams in the league. Just to make sure that you could study it and take your time, because you're going to play the other team the second time around. But a lot of coaches did it, this was commonplace.
Q: But did you do it by taping the signal caller?
JJ: Yeah.
Q: Oh you did.
JJ: That's what I'm saying. I was saying one of Marty Schottenheimers scouts, Mark Hatley, who has passed away now, Mark told me that's how they did it, and Howard Mudd their offensive line coach with Kansas City, who now coaches for Tony Dungy, he was the best in the entire league at stealing signals.
Q: Where'd you put your guy who was videotaping? Where was he?
JJ: My guy was up with my camera crew in the press box. So you'd just put an extra camera up with your camera crew in the press box who zoomed in on the signal callers. That's the best way to do it, but anyway you can't always do that because the press box camera crew might be on the same side as the opposing team. If they're on the same side as the opposing team that's when you need to do it from the sideline.
Q: Also with some operations and some teams they have equipment set up within the stadium so they can just run it back and check what's going on during the game anyway.
JJ: Oh I'll tell you [laughing] some of the stuff that goes on it's almost comical.
Patriot and Brady haters are all just fucking liars and hypocrites. Fuck 'em. They have ZERO credibility.
They can fuck off and just sit in their sofas sulking again when Brady fucks the league up for the umpteenth time for a 10th Conference Championship appearance and 7th Superbowl game
That's a really long post just to say *
Don't joke about rape. It's not cool
I agree. Especially when the games actually matter

Did Joe Montana ever lose to Mark Sanchez at home in the playoffs? Can't recall
