    This is more scientific than any of the manure offered in the original link.

    Yeah, that's incredible...

    That list has Dallas with 26 playoff appearances during the Super Bowl Era and I don't think that's right. I think it's 29 or 30. I might be wrong.

    The list isn't of the SB era, just post-merger

    That would make sense then.

    So if we're talking best team of the Super Bowl Era, I might pick Dallas. If you're going to go best team since the merger, it'd probably be the Steelers.

    So since the merger, New Orleans has lost 362 games (third most) and posted 10 winning seasons in 41 years, and he has the Saints around the middle of the pack.

    I covered the Rams-Saints playoff game about a decade ago and if memory serves that was the first playoff win in franchise history.

    I would have lost a lot of money thinking the Chiefs and Browns had more post-merger playoff wins than that.

    Wait, who was a head coach in both franchises?

    Amazing thing about that list is the Dolphins are still No. 2 in winning pct. despite being lackluster for almost a decade.

    This link is as much bullshit as the original link. According to this one, the Jaguars are a better post-merger franchise than the Packers.

    I will take the two SB victories over the .002 in winning percentage.

    It's sortable. The default ranking is by winning percentage.

    At least there's actually some sediment of data there. I don't think it's supposed to be conclusive.
