Re: Strongest 500 or below team to NOT make the playoffs
Had Dallas faced anyone but Philly to end the 1990 season--Troy would be done in that game, making the Atlanta game and easy loss-- they would have been a hot but undeserving playoff team. With pure young talent, Johnson might have made a run but losing to Philly was actually better ... The 1991 se...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I remember being relieved when the Panthers beat the Cowboys in the 96 playoffs. I knew the Packers could beat Carolina, but they always had problems with Dallas. They destroyed the Cowboys in the 97 regular season, but there wasn't really anything at stake in that game. The 96-97 Packers were more...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Plus they had an incredible list of names on that coaching staff. Green Bay just flat out couldn't beat the Cowboys. Period. Especially at Dallas. Once free agency/age/injury hit the Cowboys, then the Packers took over for their back-to-back NFC titles. Those Packers weren't as good as the Cowboys ...

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. As for the Bills, they should have won the first one, but those teams weren't as great as people think. T...

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...
