Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
There's one set of data I want to share briefly now that we are talking about the NFC's streak of consecutive Super Bowl titles. The StatMuse search I did a number of posts ago for the records of the NFC vs the AFC since the merger found the following records for the NFC vs the AFC in the years of ...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
When the NFC won 13 SB’s in a row, the conference was NOT truly deep and stacked
Outside of the 85 Bears and 96 Packers- the 49ers and NFC East did most of the damage.
You cannot tell me with a straight face that Minnesota/New Orleans of that era would have been a touchdown favorite in the SB.

Re: "Equal"s
Most of Drew Brees' Saints teams were basically carbon copies of the Air Coryell Chargers- an offense without a defense.

Strongest 500 or below team to NOT make the playoffs
Going for an opposite of the recent 75_75_78_79 thread about weakest teams above-500 teams that didn't make the playoffs. In other words, this thread is about teams that DID NOT finish with a winning record but were anything but weak. The poster boys for this would be the 1989 Cincinnati Bengals: +1...

Re: Weakest above-500 team to NOT make the playoffs?
1992 Colts I could've so easily ended up 4-12...but to get over .500 and finish 9-7 with an offense that seven times scored 10 or fewer points (shut out 3 times) basically the inverse of teams that couldn't finish above .500 because their defense allowed way too many points (ie 1984/1985 Chargers, ...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I am not upset, because it's just a game, but I will put it to you this way: Who did the 97 Broncos beat in the SB, and who did those NFC teams (from 84-96 beat) in the Super Bowl? Well, the Broncos beat the best defense in the NFL and the three-time MVP in Brett Favre. Their offensive line neutral...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Chris Mortensen said in The Sporting News after the first Dallas loss that the Bills should have traded either Jim Kelly or Thurman Thomas. I would have traded Thermal, and he wouldn't have been the only guy I got rid of. Ah yes, the start of 'hot take' reporting with guys dropping in to ESPN to de...

Re: "Name the Team" trivia part II
This team allowed the most points in a season by any team in the 1990s
They had a -235 PD and somehow it wasn't even the worst PD for a team that season

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I get the feeling that you are a little bitter because those late '90's Bronco teams are kind of forgotten about because they fell in between that NFC run of dominance and the Patriots dynasty. I am not upset, because it's just a game, but I will put it to you this way: Who did the 97 Broncos beat ...

Looking At the Teams That Attempted to Threepeat
With KC trying to do what no team has done in the SB era, I want to look at teams that had a realistic shot at a Threepeat No 68 Packers (Lombardi left) or 99 Broncos (Elway retired) Between these teams how would you assess their 3Peat Chances and efforts: 1974 Dolphins 1976 Steelers 1980 Steelers 1...
