Why the hell are the Dolphins and Vikings ahead of the Packers? No way The Patriots are below the Raiders either.
I don't like your list.

the list is generated from each seasons end results for that team. I chose results of what I consider positive results for an average fan. Also this is about consistent success.
However I may have some bugs. For example...did Miami win back to back Super Bowls in the 70's????? I don't think they did but they seemed to have gotten credit for that in this generation. If they did not, that will knock down the Fins more than a few spots I am sure

Miami did win B2B, but haven't been relevant since Shula was forced out. Really their entire run is attributed to him.

The Steelers have been to a third of the championship games. They should probably be #1.

The Vikings spot is puzzling to say the least.

this is based on their tangible success since the 1966 season, basically the beginning of the Super Bowl era. With the Green Bay win I figured now was a good time to make a historical analysis. This is not strictly on the hardware taken home, obviously because Pittsburgh is not #1 in my eyes.
I may have gotten some of the Franchise transition to different cities or names wrong.
Dallas Cowboys
Pittsburgh Steelers
San Francisco 49ers
Oakland-Los Angeles Raiders
Minnesota Vikings
New England Patriots
Miami Dolphins
Green Bay Packers
St.Louis-Los Angeles Rams
Denver Broncos
Washington Redskins
New York Giants
Baltimore Ravens-Colts
Chicago Bears
Buffalo Bills
Philadelphia Eagles
Indianapolis Colts
Cleveland Browns
Kansas City Chiefs
New York Jets
Tennessee Titans-Houston Oilers
San Diego Chargers
Cincinnati Bengals
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Seattle Seahawks
New Orleans Saints
Atlanta Falcons
Arizona-St.Louis Cardinals
Carolina Panthers
Jacksonville Jaguars
Detroit Lions
Houston Texans
You did get 1 franchise wrong that moved. Baltimore Ravens were the Cleveland Browns - not the Colts.
OK.. here are a few of my thoughts:
1) Minnesota #5? How can they be that high when they have never won a title? 4 Superbowls and not 1 win.
2) Detroit should be dead last. The only franchise that has been in existence since the SB days that has not been in 1 SB. This has been a sorry franchise.
3) Green Bay #7? LOL You could make a point that they should be #1.
My top 10 (ok.. not just since 1966 but all time)
1) Green Bay Packers - 4 SBs wins and 6 appearances. PLUS - they were the dominant team in football before the SB era.
2) Pittsburgh Steelers - 6 SB wins. Dominant team in 2 different decades
3) Dallas Cowboys - barely ahead of Niners.
4) SF Niners - if you asked this question in 1995 I would have had them #1 or #2
5) New England - 6 SBs, 3 Wins, and 1 undefeated reg season.
6) Oak-LA Raiders - toss up with NE.
7) NY Giants - 3 SB wins
8) Washington Redskins - 3 SB wins - flip a coin with NY Giants for 7-8
9) Baltimore - Indy Colts - 2 SB wins but a powerhouse pre SB days
10) Denver - back to back SB's and 6 appearances gets them ahead of Miami

cool, so I don't have a bug. This is a purely historical list, so relevance today has no bearing.
Think about it like this, you are a fan of any of these teams since 1966(or when they entered the league). How much success has your team enjoyed since then compared to the others.
So look at it from the perspective of a Dolphins fan since 1966, not 1996
