Ten Best NFL Teams of All Time

[Chado]

It's another ambiguous list from another ambiguous site. But hey, I know we haven't had enough NFL talk lately so here goes...

Personally, I think you can interchange the Bears, 49'ers and Steelers anywhere in the top 3.

the 85 bears??? can i heave now!!!!!!!!

the 1978 steelers are #1

the 1975 steelers are #3

on everyones list, was this a poll of brain dead americans?


the 2005 steelers will be #1

 

[charper1]

Very goofball list.

The only undefeated all the way to the SB should assure you the #2 spot for sure, but ONLY to the 1985 Bears, but in reality the 1972 Fins most likely deserve that #1 spot just for being perfect in a much tougher era.

WHAT? No 1976 Oakland Raiders? CRAZY! The list was comprised of too many "recent memory" teams with weak divisions/scheduals, in a watered down, post-1995 over marketed and hyped league.

Dragon I will give you the 1978 Steelers as #2 or #3 behind either of two above, but with an 11-5 regular season and a SB win they still don't make the top 10 with all the other great teams. Even being the first 6 seed to take it if they do.

#5, #9, #10 are questionable; very good but better teams were left off.

That's the first "best" list I've seen that picked the '79 Steelers team instead of the '78 team.

I do like the criteria of the list though. Have to be a Super Bowl winner and the list can only select a franchise once.

 

[dragon002]

oh i see.

it is a politically correct sports list.

spread the accolades around so as not to offend anyone.

what BS

 

[Sparkman]

Should change the name of the list to Top 10 teams if the Suoer Bowl era! There were many good teams that played before that time as well.

 

[vurbano]

The list is crap. The Cowboys in the 1990's as well as the 49ers had the best teams money could buy right before the salary cap. The cowboys even had hired guns on the kickoff teams. Those teams would have easily dismantled any that they faced.

 

[CPanther95]

90s Cowboys were very soft.

90s Cowboys were very soft.

Id put the 94 superbowl champs up against anyone. They would run all over them, The O line would beat them up until they wouldnt want to play the 4th quarter. Put 8 in the box and die that way if you chose. Aikman would kill you. And the defense was just as dominating.

 

[CPanther95]

They would get bitch slapped by most of the teams on that Top 10 list - "Best of all time"? Not even close.

 

[Peter Parker]

All modern era teams. And Lombardi's Packers were probably as good as Holmgren's.

 

[youcantseeme]

i'm surprised no one has said the only undefeated team in NFL history the 72' Dolphins I think there possibly one of the greatest NFL teams

Opinions are like a$$holes and the cowboys would have ripped ALL of those teams a new one. They had the first owner to really put his money where his mouth was and spent all the money he could for the best players available. Even specialists on special teams. It would have been no contest.

 

[Digital Dude]

1976 Tampa Bay Bucs, a team without which, superlatives would be meaningless.

 

[wicked]

90s Cowboys were very soft.

Soft come on you got to be kidding me they won 3 superbowls in a 4 year who else has done that? only the '00 patriots have, who i think are missing on this list by the way, the cowboys beat the bills, who had gone 4 time in a row to the superbowl what other team has done that too? i personally think this list is crap but to say.....................

90s Cowboys were very soft.

................... is completely Bull........

I think the list is pretty dumb. I really dont like the criteria of only being allowed to chose one team per franchise, and limiting the years to excluded the original Packers team is a joke.

Ive thought about the Pats place in history quite a bit. The salary cap hurts when stacking up team vs team. I know the team was weak at WR and RB. The best team they had was two years ago and they had a WR playing corner.

I know front office in New England would have spent the money if they could have to improve weaknesses. I guess Im really not sure if they are one of the top ten in history, but I know what theyve accomplished in a time of free agency is just mind boggling.

I think if you look at todays teams there is some sacrifice of greatness.

The colts great offense above avg defense
The Steelers great defense above avg offense
The Seahawks above average offense above average defense
The Bengals great offense above average defense

If you look at those older teams like Dallas, Pitt, and San Fran. they were loaded on offense and defense! The San Fran teams during the runs with Montana and Young had great offenses and great defenses.


Im partial to the '86 Bears...They didnt beat teams they destroyed them.

 

[wicked]

Personally i think the teams of this decades are weak (exception the patriots) compared to the 90's and 80's superbowl teams. I am a Cowboys fan but I'm not goin to diminish other teams that have been or are better!!

I agree and what we are forgetting is that they won the last superbowl without a coach. LMAO Barry Switzer??? comeon. That team was so stacked it could almost coach itself, infact if Jimmy Johnson had stayed he could have easily won 5 straight superbowls.

Id love to see the 86 bears vs one of those 90's cowboys teams. I dont think any defense could smack around Larry Allen, Nate Newton, Eric Williams and Mark Stepnoski in their prime. It just isnt going to happen.
