Flipper Rules

There are just some teams that have to make the playoffs or be involved in the post season it to seem legit.
College football has USC, Ohio State, Michigan
College basketball has Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky
Hockey has the Red Wings...you get the idea
For me here are the teams that make the playoffs "feel" like the playoffs:
NFC (in no particular order)
Dallas (everyone loves or hates them)
San Francisco (all those years with Montanta and Rice)
Chicago (something about teams that wear black)
Green Bay (the frozen tundra of Lambeau field)
Washington (several super bowls and they just always seem to be around)
Philadelphia (started in the early 80's)
Honorable mention: Minnesota (lots of Super Bowl losses, but are in the conversation); NY Giants (spurts of dominance)
AFC
Miami (the perfect '72 season, something about the orange and turquoise unis and helmets
Pittsburgh (another team that wears black, the blue collar-grind it out work ethic)
Denver (the orange crush from the mid 70's, John Elway, football in the snow)
Oakland (the bad boys of professional football)
Cleveland (something about those plain orange helmets and allll that history)
New England (a tip of the to recent memory)
Honorable mention: Indianapolis (Peyton also puts this team on the list single handedly)
Kansas City (top 5 in fan atmosphere, always flirting with potential)
If you could pick your "dream" playoff teams who would they be, in other words what helmets and unis do you see that just "feel" like the NFL this time of year?
