This is what apparently knocks the Steelers down a notch:

If the franchise had not been so inept through its first four decades, had it just managed two championships over that time, we might be talking about the NFL's all-time greatest franchise.

vs. this for the Redskins

The Redskins have another interesting claim as an elite organization: save for a brief period in the early 1960s (two total victories in 1960 and 1961), the Redskins have never really fielded bad teams, at least not for long. Oh, sure, there have been plenty of underwhelming teams – which organization hasn't had those? – but there have been remarkably few Norv Turner-type 3-13 campaigns along the way. In fact, 47 of the 76 teams in franchise history have been .500 or better.

All in all, it's a franchise that has consistently provided its fans with competitive teams and memorable moments, not to mention five championships.
