Before my time so I'm not super familiar with them. I know they were really good but one thing they don't have in common with the 5 teams I listed is a Lombardi 1 hour ago, Gugny said: I'd give the 2015 Broncos consideration. They are on my honorable mention list right outside the Top 5. They were very good Quote
Another Fan Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 1991 Eagles deserve mention https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2017/06/20/philadelphia-eagles-1991-defense-named-the-greatest-since-1987/ Who similarly to the 85 Bears papa Ryan was the brains behind it Quote

They would be on my honorable mention list but similar situation to the Purple People Eater's they didn't bring home the hardware so I couldn't put them on my Top 5 over any of the teams I listed that did. Actually I don't think those Buddy Ryan Eagles teams ever made it out of the 1st Round in the playoffs? Quote

Ironically that day they won in Jan 93 was later on that day after The Comeback. Obviously wasn’t as big a comeback but I know they were down at that game at halftime. Golden days of sports 1 Quote

Golden days of sports I know Buddy basically tried to replicate the 85 Bears in Philly. I wouldn't mind seeing a 30 for 30 or something like that on why it ultimately didn't work out. Quote

The Raider offense stomped all over them in the Super Bowl. It was a brutal mauling. That Raider offense was great and from the opening play had their way with the Vikes. Quote
