As somebody that didn't live through that 1990 season for being too young it has always been mind blowing to me to hear about them winning Super Bowl XXV being this huge upset. That doesn't make any sense to me considering who all was on that team, the fact that they had just won a Super Bowl 4 yea...

I think that they were slightly underrated. Their 86 team gets so much love, but the 1990 Giants were deeper and more talented. The 90 team had no talent outside of their defense. What talent and depth did they have? Ottis Anderson, one of the most overrated RB's of all time A washed up Everson Wal...

1988 like 1980 could have been an all time season had anybody else won the SB instead of the BS 49ers who were 6-5 at one point (and two plays from 4-7!) before Montana suddenly looked less like a shot fighter and Bill Walsh ended up stealing SF’s least deserved trophy SB 23 should have stopped the ...

There was one other year, 1974, when no QBs were picked in the first two rounds. Danny White was the first, to the Cowboys in Round 3. Results wise 1988 wasn't the worst performing year, with Chandler and Stan Humphries having careers. 1976 was bad (1st rounder Richard Todd and table scraps). I thi...

(On the flip side, they had inexplicable losses to the 10+ loss Oilers/Steelers while none of Seattle’s losses were to teams below .500) That year, I thought the Oilers were on the up and up (after they massacred GB in Week 1), but their turnaround would have to wait a year. As for their 30-9 loss ...

Maybe the most disrespected and Possibly unloved SB team of all time. 9-7, had a life and death struggle just to get past New Orleans in their own division. Lucked out with the Saints MNF meltdown vs Oakland as well as getting to play SF, MIN, and ATL 2x But then inexplicably beat Dallas and Tampa d...

The 1984 49ers would have gone 18-1 with Matt Cavanaugh- that’s how easy their schedule was

They didn’t even NEED Joe Montana that year

They weren’t even the best 10-6 AFC team to miss the 1986 playoffs. How easily we forget Cincinnati, who not only beat Seattle (34-7!) but had a better resume of wins In December alone they beat the Patriots and Jets- who unlike Denver did NOT have their division wrapped up- not to mention earlier w...

The crazy part is it could have been even more screwy if San Diego doesn't rally from a 17-3 halftime deficit against the Giants.

We would have had FOUR 8-8 teams and only 1 playoff spot

The 90's Cowboys dynasty probably never should have happened. They needed to pull off the most lopsided trade ever to get the talent. Then, they ran into a worn out Bills team two years in a row, and then O'Donnell threw them two gift-wrapped INT's to give them a third ring a few years later. If yo...
