Yep ... I forgot about the 84 Seahawks, who had a strong team and turnover causing defense ... had they gotten by Miami in the playoffs--who got revenge for the 1983/84 postseason loss--I feel they would have given the Steelers and Niners good games. I feel they would have beaten the Steelers in a close AFC Championship.

Well, until that's discovered, the starter of the thread in the meantime will now do his list...
1 - '83 Raiders!
2 - '81 Cowboys
3 - '88 Bengals
4 - '80 Eagles
5 - '81 Bengals
6 - '80 Cowboys
7 - '80 Falcons
8 - '86 Redskins
9 - '88 Bills
10 - '86 Browns
11 - '88 Bears
12 - '83 Dolphins
13 - '84 Seahawks
14 - '89 Giants
15 - '83 Cowboys
16 - '85 Raiders
17 - '85 Dolphins
18 - '87 Bears
I think the 81 Bengals are too high on this list. That was a team that wasn't that far away from starting 0-5. I would put the 1988 Bills, 86 Browns, and 83 Dolphins over them.
