Does this team become a legendary team if we win the SB convincingly?

Everything I've read on this topic comes back to one recurring theme: winning one Super Bowl doesn't make your team a legacy.

Consistency in getting to the Super Bowl? Consistency in winning the conference? -- that is what cements a team's legacy. 

If we can't show that regular winning pattern year after year after year, then all we have is a single year's GREAT team.

(winning NFC South 3x in a row, considering the division, isn't exactly legacy-building)

 

Sure, this makes sense, but look at the 85 Bears.  They didn't get to another Super Bowl, but they're certainly legendary.  Sometimes the quality of a single team (especially based on the strength of the coach & personalities) is enough to make it legendary regardless of the future of the franchise.

To us, yes, it will.

To the rest of the world, no, it won't.

Small market is the biggest reason.

You took what I was going to say exactly!!

I think the 80's Bears are a legacy because; Tecmo Bowl.

Disagree.

The 85 Bears are iconic because of one very special season.

The fact that we have a connection to them, and a team with a unique personality like theirs, makes me think winning this game will write the ending to a phenomenal story.
