Only in the same sense the 1990s Braves were or someone with four consecutive bronze medals and one gold is.  Dynasties win championships.  If the Bills had won one of those Super Bowls, would they be a dynasty?

Yeah, the real dynasties get it done multiple times, especially exemplified by consecutive titles.  Some teams have consistent dominance in their conference, division, or league, but not as far as overall dominance and thus cannot be said to fit the traditional image of dynasty versus perennial contender.  The fact that it doesn’t happen all the time further distinguishes it and shows the effects of parity efforts as well as expanded wild cards, playoffs, etc.
