[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 292035, member: 655"] See now, if that were true then you can't count the Super Bowl the Jet's and Chiefs won. That to me is one of the problems the NFL did a very poor job of addressing at the time of the merger. Those first 4 Super Bowls (World championship Games) are an entity of there own because they were played between two different leagues. Yes the two leagues merged, and yes they changed the name they put on the trophy after the merger. That tells me they should have listed those first four games as what they were and started the Super Bowl series the first year of the merger. But that's just me. About less clout. You also have to take into consideration that 11 of the Packer Championships came When the league had no more than 14 (15 in 66, 16 in 67)teams in it. So one could argue that it is harder for a team to win a championship today. In 1970 the league went from 16 to 28 teams overnight, and that made a significant difference in winning a championship. Even in just the amount of playoff games. The minimum went from 1 to 2 in 1967 and in 1970, to 3 to get to a championship game. Fact is, teams win Championships, and to discredit any team for winning one or more prior to the merger is a dis-service to all teams. How they won them, by playoff or best record matters not. They won in the time frame that they were played, within the rules they had at the time. [/QUOTE]
