Just because you win the big game does not always mean you are the greatest franchise. Look at Dallas, they havent had a run at the Super Bowl in over 10 years. Yet they have the largest revenue stream in the NFL. When you look at all the revenue the Steelers got from the band wagoners, it still doesnt surpass the Cowboys even in the bad years. Right now the best teams in the NFL are in the NFC East. There is no dispute about it. They are rough, tough, and merciless on each other. That is what makes them contenders for the playoffs every year. Now look at the other divisions that have 1 team always going to the playoffs, like the Colts and Steelers in the AFC South and North respectively. You cannot gauge those teams correctly when they are facing the nonsense AFC teams like Kansas City and Cleveland. If those teams would play any 3 team combination of the 4 NFC East teams you would see a whole different side to them. The AFC as a whole is pretty laid back when it comes to rough and tough football while the NFC likes to pound on their opponents. Simply stating that the Steelers are the greatest franchise just because they won the NFL Championship 6 times is not saying much when they do not deal with the NFC East every 4 years, not counting the playoffs. Switch the Steelers with the Redskins for a year and see what the all-mighty 6-Time World Champions look like come the end of the season.

Why is it that every single person splits the NFL into 2 different leagues? The NFL was created in 1922. In 1966 talks of a merger between the NFL and AFL sparked the Commissioner to have the 2 leagues battle each other. In 1967 the first World Championship Game, aka Super Bowl, was played between the best team in the NFL and the best team in the AFL. After the merger in 1970 the league remained named the NFL. All the Super Bowl is is the NFL Championship game. To say it is anything different is just being ignorant.
