So are the Patriots a two-man 14 season dynasty?

How do you apply the 'dynasty' definition to what Belichick and Brady have achieved in their time together at New England?

2001-2004 was a dynasty.

This was just a previous winner winning again.

They've won the AFC East 12 different times in the last 15 seasons. They have finished no lower than 2nd in the division since 2001. They have appeared in the AFC Championship Game 9 times in the last 15 seasons. They have appeared in the Super Bowl 6 times in the last 15 seasons. They have won the Super Bowl 4 times in the last 15 seasons.

That is the very definition of a dynasty.

No they are still a dynasty, just as the Spurs are a dynasty despite never winning back to back titles.

It describes an NFL dynasty. The last time the New England Patriots won less than 10 games in a season I was a freshman in high school. They have also appeared in 4 straight AFC Championship Games.

I don't think you can call the Pats a dynasty, but you can now include Brady and Belichick among the greatest of all time.

With 8 teams in the league.

Yes, it is. When you go to the playoffs every year and are consistently among the frontrunners to win the world championship, you are a dynasty.

Except for the minor fact that they aren't in the AFC North.

Agree 100% (except they're in the AFC East, not AFC North).

eta: sorry Cosmo, didn't notice you had already pointed that out ...

So there has never been a dynasty in the modern era of football if we're going with that logic.

Dynasty are typically consistent winners over an era. In sports it's typically around a decade of dominance. The current Dynasty is new England, proven winners for the last 15 years.

Yeah anytime you go 10 seasons between SB wins it is not a dynasty.
