Last year on my home blog, I came up with a (somewhat) empirical system for ranking the performance of all NFL teams over the last decade.. Here it is:
+1 for each regular season win
+5 for each Wild Card appearance
+10 for each Divisional Playoff appearance
+20 for each Conference Championship Game appearance
+30 for each Super Bowl appearance
+50 for each Super Bowl victory
(note: there is no "multiplier" effect. The Saints get 50 bonus points for winning XLIV, NOT 115 points for reaching each playoff milestone in 2009-2010)
Got it? Here's the list... Debate my results and methodology in the comments
- Patriots (327)
- Colts (260)
- Steelers (258)
- Eagles (228)
- Ravens (197)
- Giants (193)

- Raiders (122)
- Cowboys (112)

- Cardinals (102)
- Dolphins (99)

- Bengals (79)
- Bills (66)
- Browns (57)
