Wizard Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Define greatest team. Without an operational definition, it is hard to define the greatest team. If you are going for wins, then you are looking at the 1973 Dolphins and 2007 Patriots. If you are going for the team with the most talent, I think the 92 & 93 Cowboys need a serious look. Yes, these teams both beat us in the Super Bowl. They had a ridiculously good offensive and defensive line. They had a Hall of Fame QB, receiver, and running back. They had a stellar tight end and a top notch full back. Their second receiver, Alvin Harper, was a talented player. The 89 and 94 49er's also are deserving of a look as well as the 85 Bears.

Jim in Anchorage Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hard to argue with 2007 Pats. Except for for a guy that can't handle a gun without shooting himself in the leg and had a pass stick to his helmet, they go 19-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivier in france Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 85 Bears for me. OK their offense was mainly Walter and the 7 dwarfs but we'll never see an other D like that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 let me clarify, what is the greatest football team of all time? 1970-present Because football started in 1970. The real greatest team of all-time is the 1947-1949 Cleveland Browns. 28 straight games without a loss, including two championships. October 19, 1947 through October 2, 1949.

TheBlackMamba Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 how about the '92 cowboys...troy aikmen, emmet smith, michael irvin, nate newton, moose, alvin harper and darren woodson all in their primes. and they absolutely destroyed the bills in the super bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I would say some of the early 1960's Green Bay Packers teams, with as many as 10 Hall of Famers on one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbeef Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'd pick a less obvious one: 2002 Rams even though their record didn't turn out great due to overconfidence and warner/faulk having problems. They had a great defense and their offense was arguably the best ever assembled. The 99 rams were great too. The 02 rams had a QB and WRs that were arguably just as good as the 2007 patriots plus marshall faulk. I recall the defense was better than the 2007 patriots too.

loyal2dagame Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 as much as it pains me to admit, it has to be the 72 undefeated dolphins. until a team goes wire to wire and wins the superbowl, it stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hoops? La Lakers, and 60's celtics (Cousy, Russell, Sam and KC Jones, Tommy Heinson, Etc. would be competitive with the later Celts for the title. Baseball? The 50's yankees (Mantle, Maris, Ford etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
