Patriots, it's not even close

Heck, you'd have to combine the entire AFC just to match them lol

And this decade isn't even over yet

Oh I see, so the league took those championships away?

The pats. And they did not cheat,they broke a rule,very big difference. And with the rule they broke some people do not seem to get the issue was NOT what they were taping,it was the location they taped from. If they had not been on the sideline and had been taping from an enclosed area in a designated zone for taping or what ever the exact rule is,they would have been able to tape the exact same thing and it would have been perfectly legal. That is a far cry from cheating. It is breaking a rule. Goodell punished them and it is over. they went on to set a record breaking season, and only lost the super bowl they played like crap in thanks to slippery eli's non-sack and the miracle velcro helmet catch. All while under intense scrutiny where they could not break that rule. so I am kind of skeptical about how much of an " Advantage" that tape gave them.

As for indy, while I do believe peyton manning and tom brady are in a class of their own,and indy is a top tier team the decade is not over,and both the steelers and ravens are in a position to win a second super bowl this year,and if the eagles were to get in and win they would have as many super bowl wins as indy but one more apperance. So I would not count them as a lock to be the second best team of the decade just yet.

[QUOTE="thequietguy"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] your thing requires the Eagles to win the SB this year...or next to hold true... I agree with everything else though Steelers were just as impressive as the Colts...could have there 2nd superbowl this decade....mattykovax

[QUOTE="mattykovax"][QUOTE="thequietguy"] Yeah I know, the Eagles need to win to be considered as number two. It's just that they're really the only team except for the Patriots to be a real threat to make the Super Bowl EVERY SINGLE YEAR. The Colts always choke in the playoffs, so that dropped them a few spots for me. They're still an incredible team, though. And nobody really considers the Ravens to be one of the best of the decade, but I think they are.thequietguy

i also find this list flawed. And as far as the Ravens comment, defensively, they could have been top 5, but offensively they arent even top 25 with Kyle "I should have been a" Bowler. They had the #1 defense when they won the superbowl and that was 9 years ago the offense was barely decent beside Jamal Lewis.

The Patriots have 3 Super Bowls. I'm not a huge fan, but they still dominated the decade.

Funny how they won the 3 championships by a total of 9 points. A win is still a win. And the Bucs won by like 27 points.

What about player of the decade? Does Tom Brady get it by default?

And I'd put the Eagles close to the top too.

Easily The Steelers. CWEBB04z

Please explain

Who has the most rings in the decade? That pretty much says it all. ;)DarkElf2112

Patriots > Steelers > Colts > Eagles > Chargers

In terms of both regular season and Post season Results since 2000.

Colts are #3 because they continually choke early in the playoffs. Steelers usually knock off a couple teams every season they get in.

The Eagles are #4 because they got to a Superbowl and have been in 4 NFC CHampionship games this decade.

This Year The Best Team is the Saints and the colts are second, the patriots just are not clicking this year.

The stat that proves the point:

Peyton Manning: 7-8 in the post-season(thats the teams record under Manning)

Tom Brady: 14-3(the teams post-season record with Brady under center.)

The Patriots are the best team of this decade.

Baltimore Ravens

Im going with the colts on this one..the patriots cheated i will never get over that

Ugh, I don't know how anyone wouldn't say Patriots.

How the hell is it Colts vs Patriots? The only two choices are Steelers vs Patriots.DA_B0MB

The Patriots, why is it even a question?
