I would counter everyone picking on the 95 Falcons(a team I actually had a thing for) with the 94 Chicago Bears, even though they won a playoff game, a far far worse team that made the playoffs that 94 season. They went 9-7 but their only quality teams they beat were the Dolphins and Lions, got beat...

I don't get the knock on 91 Skins for beating Atlanta and Detroit in the playoffs. 2 Legit 2 Quit Falcons with Deion and Barry Sanders(who many call the GOAT RB, something I disagree with but still) with his best team the 12-4 Lions. Was that really that much weaker of a playoff route than the other...

20's- 1929 Packers, undefeated and beat the top teams, close runner up for me would be 27 Giants that allowed only 20 points all year but they lost a game and didn't play 2nd place Green Bay that year. 30's- 1938 NY Giants, only allowed 79 total points all year, runners up would be 34 Bears who with...

After looking closer here over this Summer I got to say one of the biggest underachieving teams in NFL history has to be the 96 Dallas Cowboys. What in the holy hell happened to this team? They absolutely had everything to win another title that year and had the most talented team in the league stil...

I don't know if any examples given really fit the bill other than Cunningham playing for the Cowboys the Saints weren't a rival to the Packers nor Denver to the Cowboys. I feel like the biggest and most egregious example of this and even more so than Shaq playing for the Celtics would be my favorite...

91 Eagles belong in the conversation for sure, one of the best defenses but were playing with 3rd string QB by end of the year finished 10-6 and missed out. I got to believe they could have shaken some things up in the playoffs even with Jim Mcmahon at QB. 89 Packers, beat the 89 49ers in Candlestic...

Sorry if anyone's a Cowboys fan out there, but I have to say it: the Cowboys probably win this Super Bowl if Jimmy Johnson had never been forced out by Jerry. What might have been in Big D. I think you are on to something. Watching them in this game against Green Bay they definitely look like the b...

How do we explain or make sense of Washington's 7-1 start? It's crazy watching the games on Youtube when they show standings they were 1st place in the NFC East for most of the year. Watching the Packers at Cowboys game now and Dallas defense just manhandling the Green Bay offense, Dallas o-line jus...

I don't get the hate for the 95 Falcons that was one of my favorite one hit wonder teams of the 90's, interesting squad for sure I think you could do way worse than them as far as worst one and done playoff teams ever.

Count me as somebody that doesn't believe any AFL team stood a chance against NFL Champions pre-Super Bowl. The 66 Chiefs to me were better than any AFL Champion before them and look how they did in Super Bowl I(same for 67 Raiders in II, who were even better than the previous year's Chiefs and some...
