I still think some of the later, pre-salary cap teams would hold up well. They were able to assemble talent more easily in that era. Of course the personnel on the team might fall short from a standpoint of differing offensive and defensive schemes.
Just in the Lombardi days particularly when Carroll Dale played. I met him while playing high school ball, and he was gracious enough to give me some valuable advice.
No chance. Dallas had the best offense and best defense in football for multiple seasons. Best line ever. Great QB. True shutdown corner and another great corner. They were just unstoppable offensively when healthy.
I'll give you one of the best offense lines because those guys in the 90s were as good as we've ever seen, but I'll take the 9ers on everything else. The 84 team was 15-1, had 10 pro bowlers, 9 AP All Pros and went 15-1. The 89 team went 14-2, had 6 pro bowlers, 8 AP All Pros and went 14-2. The closest Cowboy team to either of those two was the 95 squad. They were good. The 93 team was good, but not 95 good. The 92 team has no chance against either of those 9ers squads. The best record by any of the 3 Super Bowl teams was 13-3. You can have the Cowboys. I don't want em.
15-1 is meaningless without context in a league that was bereft of decent teams because single teams could stockpile. The defense was better, the offense was equally good and the special teams were better. That SF team has no prayer of keeping Dallas from running down their throats in a big game.
Nah. I don't think so. The 89 team isn't just better than any Cowboys team, it might be the best team ever.

here are the prop bets I like, flame away: Both teams 1st pass an interception +40000 CAR leads after every quarter +175 DEN 1st pass an interception +2000 First score a CAR defense/spec.teams TD +2100 P.Manning pass attempts over 49½ +1100 P.Manning interceptions thrown over 2½ +700 C.Newton scores first TD +700 M.Tolbert scores first TD +2200 Denver Broncos Under 20 -105
Both teams 1st pass an interception seems so unlikely as to be just giving your bookie money. I think after 2 years ago, Denver's first pass will be safe.
all prop bets are heavily in favor of the casino odds wise. doesn't mean I can't take a couple of fliers and have some fun. I agree both throwing an int is extremely unlikely, the question is if it's 1-400 unlikely. I feel like the first drive is always pretty ugly in these super bowls because of jitters.
Sure, it's probably worth a little if you aren't going to miss 10 bucks. I just marvel at the free money for gambling books.
they aren't in the game to lose money, but every year a couple of these ridiculous props hit. the "first score is a safety" hit either last year or the year before. ridiculous odds.
