I've read idiots claiming NE is not a dynasty. Give you definition of a football dynasty that excludes NE or go 'tuck' yourself.
Remember, the Steelers of the '70s, the 49ers of the '80s, the Cowboys of the '90s, the Packers of the'60s (and sometimes the Browns and Lions of the '50s) must meet the definition but it must exclude teams like Denver of the '90s, Giants and Redskins of the '80s, and Miami of the '70s.

Dynasty is one of those sports words thrown out there a lot with mixed meanings. NE is a dynasty...They've stayed competitive during this run. If they win another title with the current "core", they just maybe the greatest dynasty of the last 50 years. (%26amp; I am a Niners fan!) I say this becuase the 90's brought along a salary cap, reduction in draft picks %26amp; FA. What NE has done is remarkable. %26amp; now they seem to be reloading...Although Moss is a gamble.
So, here is my criteria:
A dynasty must be long term success with the same GM/HC %26amp; core players.
Dynasties are Browns in 50s, Pack in 60's, Steelers in 70's, Niners in 80's .
Cowboys in early 90s %26amp; Broncos in late 90's are a loose definition... IMO, just because they didn't "reload" when some core players left. Great teams, but I'll use dynasty loosely with them.
The other teams you mentioned were great no doubt, they just fall short. The Redskins would have been team of 80s with 3 different winning qbs throughout that decade...But the undisputed 80s champ was the Niners. Dolphins are in the same boat. Real good in 70s, but the Steelers were there.
My bottom line is simple:
Long term success(playoffs consistently)
PLUS
Core management %26amp; players
PLUS
Multiple Lombardi trophies.

new england are a dynasty and the people who say they arent are probably colts fans.
Winning consistantly.Take Miami was for 30 something years,they always were there contending.Now New England is and have been for a few years now.So I'd say they definetly are now.
Augy's answer is perfect. In this new salary cap and free agency era the Pats have won with a core of players. They have made the playoffs the last 4 years running and they are definately Super Bowl contenders for a 5th straight year.
Some people say they are not a Dynasty because their players change so often. All the other Dynasties you named had the same key players for all three of their championships but with the salary cap and plain old greed of the players, its hard to keep the same players over and over again. So with that said they are a dynasty because they consistantly win. Also, you have to win 3 championships in a decade to be a dynasty.
NE is a dynasty team. they have won 3 superbowls and have the talent to get another 3. they have been a playoff contender for the last 6 or 7 years.
