I think that we are going to be a shoe-in, but does anyone know the record for most wins in a decade? By my count we are at 93 reg season wins thios decade with 29 games to go. Anyone know the record? I believe we are blowing away the post-season record too.
 
The Cowboys won 105 games in the 1970s.
The 9ers won 104 games in the 1980s.

I just added that stuff up off profootballreference.com. I can't imagine a team winning more than that.
 
We are not a shoe in for most regular season wins in a decade, let alone this decade yet.

Colts currently have 90 regular season wins this decade.

Couldn't find any decade-by-decade wins leaders after searching. You'd guess the four previous dynasties but can't confirm.

what do consider a decade? does it begin the 00 season? or the 01 season?
 
There's two ways to look at the question, and the Niners hold both records. For a decade classified in the format of 60s, 70s, 80s, and the like, then the Niners hold the record in the 90s, with 113 wins. If it's for any 10 years, then from 89 to 98, the Niners had 123 wins.

Did they? Wow, didn't realize that. Does that include postseason?

does 90's mean season 90/91 to 98/99? or does it mean 91/92 to 99/00?

lol, we need to win 20 of the next 29 to tie w/ SF
 
90s means 1990 through 1999. It's an easy system, the third digits (tens column) must all be the same.

Decades run from the 0 to the 9

That puts the 90's 49ers at 113. New England came into this season with 91, meaning the team needs 22 wins in 32 games to tie the 49ers. The 2-1 start to this season keeps the team on pace.

i thought so, but in reality a decade begins when you hit the year 1 in the fourth column...just sayin
 
It is indeed an easy system. You would go from Year 0 to year 9 as your ten years. I would go from Year One to Year Ten. The first decade was from Year 1 to Year 10. The current one is 2001 - 2010.

just my 2 cents

Ok, but you would be wrong:

decade definition |Dictionary.com

decade - definition of decade by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Decade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's why the decades are named after the first year, not the last. The 50's, for example, don't include 1960, they are 1950-1959.
 
I'll be more content with the most Super Bowls in a decade. I think we need 2 more correct?

There's technically only one more Super Bowl in the 00's decade we can win.
