2000 was a pretty dumb year, IMO. You didn't have any dominant teams. The playoffs were terrible. The two exciting playoff games were won by chump teams (Dolphins, Saints). The Ravens slogged their way through opposing backup QBs and eventually found Kerry Collins waiting for them in the Super Bowl, which in itself was incredibly boring. Watching Brian Billick and the Ravens celebrate was like watching the Detroit Pistons celebrate their titles...just an icky feeling.

The division winning QBs were Jay Fiedler, Steve McNair, Rich Gannon, Kerry Collins, Daunte Culpepper & Jeff Blake. Quite possibly the worst group in NFL history.

The only memorable moment was the Rams huge comeback against the Saints in the playoffs, and all Az-Hakim has to do is fair catch a punt and the Rams likely go on to score the winning TD...but alas, Az-Hakim fumbles the punt and the Rams repeat hopes are dashed.

I felt the Titans were better than their 99 team in 2000 but the Ravens defense peaked at the right time. A defensive slugfest playoff game, that we will probably never see again, with todays basketball scores. The Ravens got lucky that Siragusa belly flopped onto a Gannon injury that enabled them to win their championship fairly easily. The Rams lost a tough game, no thanks to Warner's concussion but that N.O team had a lot of talent, despite an erratic QB in Brooks.

Crazy Packers Fan wrote:1991 would get my vote. Aside from a pair of exciting playoff games involving the Broncos, this was a dull playoffs where the Super Bowl champion was a foregone conclusion. Yes, the Falcons story was nice, but they never had a realistic chance at going all the way. The '91 Redskins were one of the most dominant teams in league history and there was never a moment that they were in any danger. Plus, there was the Mike Utley injury. Just not a memorable year at all.

Maybe it’s me but why aren’t the ‘91 Redskins more widely recognized as one of the most dominant Super Bowl champions ever? When most people talk dominant 90’s champs you think of ‘92 Cowboys, ‘94 49ers, ‘99 Rams... that Redskin team for whatever reason doesn’t seem to get its due.

Well, if it's any consolation, a lot of us Detroit fans remember that '91 Washington team. We were just one step away from our first Super Bowl and we got clobbered, 41-10. It was still a game at the half but Skins scored 24 points to win going away.
