I've been watching a lot of NFL Network since I got home -- that includes "The Greatest Games Ever", "NFL's Greatest Games", and other rehashed variants. Around this time of year, what really seems to get expressed is how the "Tuck Rule" ended the Raiders' shot at a dynasty.
It didn't. It was a set back. What ended the Raiders' shot at a dynasty was the fact that they got blown out in the following Superbowl because their old coach went to the Buccaneers and told them all of Rich Gannon's plays. That's all.
Oh, hey everyone.

If the Raiders win that game maybe they beat Pittsburgh in the AFC championship and get a shot at the Rams in the Superbowl, but a dynasty? I mean I guess it all depends on what your definition of a dynasty, but were the Patriots from '01-'05 even a dynasty? Is a four year run long enough to be a dynasty? It's tough to say...
Once they clinch the AFC East in about 90 minutes from now the Pats will have made the playoffs 7 of 10 years this decade... that's pretty impressive. The only other teams that were really that consistent this past 10 years were Indianapolis (9), Philadelphia (8), and maybe Pittsburgh (6)(who did win 2 superbowls afterall). The Packers and Giants each have a shot at 7 this year, but haven't made a deep enough impact in the playoffs to matter (the game that shall not be mentioned excluded). I'm on a tangent, I'm going back to watching the game.
