  • Here is my Post Super Bowl Team of the Decade Standings for the 2010s:

    Recall how this works: A team is awarded 10 points for winning the Super Bowl. They get 6 points for losing the SB. The teams that lose the conference title games get 3 points, and any other team that makes the playoffs gets 1 point.

    Ravens: 1+3+10 total 14 points

    Patriots: 1+6+3+3 total 13 points

    Packers: 10+1+1+1 total 13 points

    Seahawks 1+1+10 total 12 points

    49ers 3+6+3 total 12 points

    Giants: 10 total 10 pts

    Broncos: 1+1+6 total 8 pts.

    Steelers: 6+1 total 7 pts

    Falcons: 1+1+3 total 5 pts

    Jets: 3 total 3 pts

    Bears: 3 total 3 pts

    Bengals: 1+1+1 total 3 pts

    Colts: 1+1+1 total 3 pts

    Eagles: 1+1 total 2 pts

    Chiefs: 1+1 total 2 pts

    Texans: 1+1 total 2 pts

    Lions: 1 pt.

    Redskins: 1 pt.

    Vikings: 1 pt.

    Panthers: 1 pt.

    Chargers: 1 pt.

    So, the Ravens are still in the lead despite not making the playoffs this year. But it is a wide open race.

  • Note this: Obviously from the above there is no clear candidate for ulimate "team of the decade". It does not appear either that any sort of "Dynasty" is clearly in the making.

    In fact this is the first decade since the NFL was founded that did not have a repeat champion in the first 4 years of a decade.

    In the first 4 years of each decade the following teams repeated:

    20s: Bulldogs

    30s: Packers

    40s: Bears

    50s: Lions

    60s: Packers

    70s: Dolphins

    80s: Raiders

    90s: Cowboys

    00s: Patriots.

    2010s: each year has seen a different champion.

    Not all of the above teams ended up being the dominant team of that particular decade, but they were in the running.

    20s: Bears overtook Bulldogs

    50s: Browns overtook Lions

    70s: Steelers overtook Dolphins

    80s: 49ers overtook Raiders.

    but at least some kind of dynasty seemed to be taking shape those first 4 years.....but not this decade.

  • Previous Teams of the Decade:

    1920s: Bears (runnerup: Bulldogs)

    1930s: Packers (runnerup: Giants)

    1940s: Bears (runnerup: Browns)

    1950s: Browns (runnerup: Lions)

    1960s: Packers (runnerup: Chargers)

    1970s: Steelers (runnerup: Cowboys)

    1980s: 49ers (runnerup: Redskins)

    1990s: Cowboys (runnerup: Bills)

    2000s: Patriots (runnerup: Steelers)

  • It will be interesting to see how the back end of the decade treats these teams in the running, the logic you used yielded great results with the previous decades. My money is on the Seahawks or San Fran.

  • I am giving this thread a bump, since there will a recomputation for Team of the Decade after Sunday.

    The Patriots have 13 points going in....the Seahawks 12.

    The winner will take a clear lead, but the loser could still be in the hunt. Winner gets 10 pts, loser 6.

    Packers will get 3 pts. and will still be in the running, given that Aaron Rodgers is still pretty young.

    Ravens get a point, but will fall behind the Pats, Pack and Seahawks in the running.

    Will do full final compilation after Sunday.

    And FYI, this is actually the halfway point of the decade. 2010-2014 being the first 5 years, 2015 to 2019 the last 5.
