The Gipper Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Here is my calculation of the Team of the Decade for the 2010s. Note on Methodology: Scores for the Team of the Decade are alloted on a point system. The team that wins the Super Bowl is awarded 10 points. The team that loses the Super Bowl is awarded 6 points. The two Conference title game losers are awarded 3 points. Any other team that makes the playoffs is given one point. The points are then accumulated for the entire decade. In this case, all points are for all years from 2010 through 2017. So, we are 8/10ths through the 2010s. As noted the scores you see here are the accumulated points over the past 8 years playoff performances. So, the teams of the NFL, so far in order are: New England Patriots 42 points Seattle Seahawks 20 pts Green Bay Packers 20 pts. Denver Broncos 19 pts Baltimore Ravens 15 pts Pittsburgh Steelers 13 pts. Atlanta Falcons 12 pts Philadelphia Eagles 12 pts. San Francisco 49ers 12 pts. NY Giants 11 pts Carolina Panthers 9 points Indianapolis Colts 6 pts. Kansas City Chiefs 5 pts Cincinnati Bengals 5 pts Minnesota Vikings 5 pts. New Orleans Saints 4 pts Houston Texans 4 pts Arizona Cardinals 4 pts NY Jets 3 pts. Chicago Bears 3 pts Detroit Lions 3 pts Jacksonville Jaguars 3 pts. Washington Redskins 2 pts Dallas Cowboys 2 pts LA Chargers 1 pt. LA Rams 1 pt. Tennessee Titans 1 pt. Oakland Raiders 1 pt Miami Dolphins 1 pt Buffalo Bills 1 pt. Tampa Bay Bucs -0- pts. Cleveland Browns -0- pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Note: The Patriots obviously have the Team of the Decade Title wrapped up for the 2010s....as they have 22 more points than any other team...and even if some team (and that could only be the Packers or the Seahawks) were to win the next two SBs...they could still only have a max of 40 pts.

So they, already had this wrapped up before the season began, and they are extending their lead significantly... Two decades in a row is pretty damn impressive!

darren15 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Browns have been my team all through that decade so they should get at least a point for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two decades in a row is pretty damn impressive! Zombo Yes...very impressive. The only other team to come in either first or second in two consecutive decades was......tada!.....The Cleveland Browns in the 40s and 50s under this methodology. (and remember, the Browns were only in existence for 4 of the 10 years of the 40s). And if you didn't count the AFL, the Browns came in 2d in the NFL in the 60s as well....when the Packers ruled. I am certainly hoping that the Patriots do not have a 3rd decade of contention in them for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacosman Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 would have never guessed the pats would come out as being team of the decade without this calculation. Would have guessed maybe ravens, texans or vikings intead. But your calculations really allowed me to see the light. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
