What Was The Weakest/Most Fragile "Dynasty" In Sports History?

[Da Jungles]

Are you mothafukkas slow?


Do y’all know what a dynasty is?

 

[RickyDiBiase]

The '90-'94 Buffalo Bills

 

[Osmosis]

Honestly first thing I thought of.

Got blown out by Dirk.
Won the next two.
Kawhi ended them.

4 NBA Finals appearances but two lopsided losses isn't really much of a dynasty.

Chiefs 4 Super Bowl appearances and won 3 of them, now that's a Dynasty.

#5 looks like it's loading. Labeling them "a weak dynasty" is funny

Kawhi ended them by averaging 17 PPG in the series?

My honest take.

To me the Heatles weren't a Dynasty so if people want to call them one then they were a weak one. If you only finish the job half the time, I don't think you're a Dynasty.

Brady's Patriots for the longevity and multiple time runs.
90's Bulls for obvious reasons.
Mahome's Chiefs again for the sheer dominance and changing the game.
3-Peat Lakers was a Dynasty for the sheer dominance.
Steph's Warriors sheer dominance and changed the game.

All were/are a tier or two ahead.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

He asked for dynasty and y'all proceeded to name a bunch of teams that weren't dynasties

 

[Piff Huxtable]

There are only 4 dynasties in the 21st century:
- Pats
- threepeat Lakers
- 2010s Warriors
- Chiefs

They really didn’t have much competition besides the kings in 2002. In 2000 they were up 3-2 on Portland in the western finals with Kobe averaging 17 points on 40% shooting with 25 fouls committed on the series to that point. Portland managed to lose game 7 with Shaq getting 9 shot attempts all game. Got to face the absolute lowest point of the eastern conference. The pacers led by Jalen Rose & Reggie Miller, a sixers team whose #2 was Eric snow or Dikembe, and a nets team whose best player was useless as a scorer.


The problem with examining the pats is that their biggest games were usually defined by the other team doing something maddeningly stupid that cost themselves the game entirely on their own.

The tuck rule game where John Gruden calls a timeout which gives the linemen time to clear the spot for Vinatieri to kick from, the afc title game where Joey porter drops a pick 6, the Super Bowl where the rams don’t feature Marshall Faulk heavily in their game plan, the Super Bowl where John Kasay sends the kickoff out of bounds with 90 seconds left after Carolina ties the game (no other team has done that in any game this millennium. Literally happened just once in the past 25 years), Philadelphia not running the hurry up while down late, Marlon Mcree trying to run after the pick that would’ve won it for San Diego if he went to the ground, Jacksonville deciding their game plan was to give Brady a clean pocket and never pressure him in 2007, the chargers best players all being hurt in 2007, Lee Evans dropping the winning touchdown catch with 45 seconds left, Flacco throwing a horrible pick the possession before, Harbaugh rushing the kicking unit out while he had a timeout and then the kicker missing a 32 yard kick to force overtime, Baltimore blowing 2 separate 14 point leads because their coaches never thought to bench their worst corner who the pats threw at 19 times in a single game (14 completions for 225 yards and 2 scores) followed by Flacco throwing two hideous picks off his back foot in a clean pocket on 2nd down with plenty of time left both times into double coverage, Seattle’s OC calling a pass into the middle of the defense at the 1 instead of giving Marshawn the ball, Atlanta refusing to run the ball after taking a 28-3 lead (they dropped 2 picks on the game tying drive too), and of course Dee Ford lining up offsides on the game winning pick in the 2018 afc title game which had no impact on the play.


More than anything you were always waiting for the other team to blow it and they usually did it all on their own. We nearly got it in the 2006 afc title game too. Bob sanders dropped a pick 6 on third down with Indy trailing on the pats second to last drive so the colts offense had to get a touchdown on their final drive against the 2nd best scoring defense in the league.

You ignore the Pats mistakes and bad luck in those games

The only ones I can recall are belichick going for it on 4th early in Super Bowl 42 when in field goal range and the missed throw between Brady and welker late in Super Bowl 46 where you can blame either one of them for it. Any other errors they made don’t seem particularly stupid on their end.

Everyone makes some degree of errors but I can’t recall them ever doing anything as dumb as taking their sweet time while down 10 late in the 4th, throwing into the middle of the field at the 1 yard line when they have the best back in the league and enough time to run the ball twice, refusing to run the ball while up 20+ in the 4th quarter, or the comedy of errors John Harbaugh and his staff committed in 2011 and 2014.

Pretty sure a foundational piece of the hoodie’s philosophy was always “execute the basics and don’t be the team that beats themselves” on top of this.

Even if they won every year I’d hesitate since it was only 4 years. My stance is you gotta be around for 6-8 years at least.

Spurs?

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Spurs?

Their run lasted for 20 years with no down years, 10 trips to the conference finals, 6 trips to the finals, and 5 titles. That’s as good as it gets. To be fair I’ll give you them getting to also pick two titles off the lowest point of the eastern conference though.

2010s SF Giants as well

 

[Max Power]

They’re not. 2 titles does not make you a dynasty.

This means LeBron Raymone James Sr. has never been part of a dynasty

I can live with it

 

[Piff Huxtable]

Spurs?

Dynasties win back to back
their quest for a repeat don't get derailed by the likes of Derek Fisher or Desagna Diop

look it's easy when you are hungry
but when 29 or 31 franchises want your spot at the mountain top and you fend them off?
That's the mark of a true dynasty

 

[Piff Huxtable]

2010s SF Giants as well

I was focusing on NFL and NBA
but then you can also mention Alabama football
