I guess if I am judging Super Bowl-winning teams against each other, I need more historical context than "they won the Super Bowl that year!". Since I am posting unpopular opinions, I'll add one more. The best defenses I've seen over the years...the 70's Steelers, the 85 Bears, the 91 Eag...

I'm not knocking them down as to what players/coaches did before or after. I just focus on the season a team made the SB and won or lost it. If a team catches lightening in a bottle, and rides that to a dominant season for just that year, it's weird to me to penalize. I guess if I am judging Super ...

Good explanation Bryan. The 2000 season was definitely a fluke with the defense getting better every week and the running game eating up clock. Billick was arrogant, thinking he could turn Kyle Boller into a winning QB. The 2006 Ravens had their best chance to succeed for him again with Steve McNai...

You think the 2000 Ravens were a "terrible" team??? Please share your reasoning for that. Where would you rank the 2000 Ravens among the Super Bowl champion teams? I would rank them near the bottom, and would give them 'demerit points' for being annoying and classless. *They didn't win th...

I'm going to focus in on the worst SBs. #55 - XLVIII (2013) - Seahawks 43, Broncos 8 = not sure why this is last...no one expected the Seahawks to be so dominant on D. It was at least interesting to see them shut down Denver's offense. #54 - VIII (1973) - Dolphins 24, Vikings 7 #53 - XII (1977) - C...

Saw those videos. Interesting ranking. On the list related to the winners, I would say the 86 Giants should have been a few spots higher (more like 15th). I was glad to see the 69 Vikings pretty high on the Super Bowl losers list. That is one of the few teams to finish number one on both sides of t...

Winners: https://youtu.be/XVer3IyR_mQ?si=KQfGEwrFIH7vGxsW Losers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU5tO_ykPrs For winners I'm surprised the '76 Raiders made it as high as 5th. Over teams like the '91 Redskins, and '89 49ers. They actually had the '94 49ers above '89, which I can't get behind, but it...

Probably most as far as legacy is concerned considering how dominant/successful he's been, at such a young age. Eras are always tricky, but I think the best we can do is say how dominant they are/were among their peers in the era they're playing. To me, I honestly think he's a top 3 QB I've ever see...

Gut crushing loss. The 49ers were so close to sealing the deal, but yet again came up short. I was pretty devastated, and am just now starting to put the loss in the rearview. I know for a lot of other fans, it will take much, much longer if they ever do get over it. The older I get I find something...

2024 Class: 🏈Julius Peppers 🏈Devin Hester 🏈Dwight Freeney 🏈Andre Johnson 🏈Patrick Willis 🏈Steve McMichael 🏈Randy Gradishar Good group I'd say. Glad my guy Willis got in. Still pulling for Craig sooner rather than later. Andre Johnson this early was a bit of a surprise, but I'm glad he made it. Thoug...
