JPicc2114 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Anyone else see the top 10 offenses off all time on N F L.com? What a complete disgrace of a list. Not one Buffalo Bill team from the Early 90s made the list.

The Big Cat Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I suppose there can be objection in some sort of an academic sense. 4 straight SB losses...case closed. No wins - no pets and strokes... I guess, but a HOF QB, coach, RB, WR, and hopefully another HOF WR on the way...you'd think...well, never mind.

NFL Total Access counts down the top 10 offenses in NFL history Link: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-tota...Top-10-offenses 10. 1958 Colts 9. 1987 49ers 8. 2004 Colts 7. 1981 Chargers 6. 1984 Dolphins 5. 1983 Redskins 4. 1950 Rams 3. 1998 Vikings 2. 2007 Patriots 1. 1999 Rams
GOBILLS78 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Ah, the token early-days selections to make a few people happy. I see...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 At least they have Tasker included in their top 10 players who should be in the HOF but are not
JPicc2114 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 I suppose there can be objection in some sort of an academic sense. 4 straight SB losses...case closed. No wins - no pets and strokes... Im sorry what does that have to do with offense??? This is a list of top 10 offenses, not best teams.
KD in CA Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 10. 1958 Colts9. 1987 49ers 8. 2004 Colts 7. 1981 Chargers 6. 1984 Dolphins 5. 1983 Redskins 4. 1950 Rams 3. 1998 Vikings 2. 2007 Patriots 1. 1999 Rams In all honesty, that's a pretty tough group to crack. Of the ones I saw, all of those offenses were pretty unstoppable. And someone made a good point about the Super Bowls; the Bills offense was held in check each time.
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I suppose there can be objection in some sort of an academic sense. 4 straight SB losses...case closed. No wins - no pets and strokes... You realize the Chargers and Vikes were on there and they didn't even make the Super Bowl, right?
Stl Bills Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Well they did ask Marshall what offense on the list (besides the 99 Rams) would he have wanted to be a part of and he said "none of them, he would have wanted to play the Thurman role in the K-Gun".
mrags Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 You realize the Chargers and Vikes were on there and they didn't even make the Super Bowl, right? The Vikings are on there because they scored most points of all time at that time. They are still 2 or 3 on that list.
Chandler#81 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I guess, but a HOF QB, coach, RB, WR, and hopefully another HOF WR on the way...you'd think...well, never mind. Good point! If they used the HOF as a mantra, we'll likely have a QB, RB & 2 WR's. Not so the '58 Colts (JU, RB, TM) '81 Chargers, (DF, KW, CJ) and probabaly not the '04 Colts (PM, EJ, MH) or the '87 49er's (JM, JR, RC) though they're close. Waterfields' '50 Rams with Elroy, Fears and Davis is a lock. '07 Pats* had no RB & Robert Smith of the '98 Vikings and Marino's '84 Fish don't measure up either, IMO. I know, just cryin'.. None of the offenses lasted as long, and dominated as much as the '89-93 Bills.
shrader Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I figured I'd see Dallas on that list, but maybe they weren't as good as I remember them.
The Big Cat Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Two teams from the 50's? What a joke! I'm all for sports nostalgia, but let's not pretend like the old-timers could even sniff the jock of today's players. I know, I know, the game is different now, weight programs, training tables, blah blah...but that's exactly my point, it's comparing apples to oranges. Don't belong on the list, regardless of their accomplishments.
DC Tom Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 The Vikings are on there because they scored most points of all time at that time. They are still 2 or 3 on that list. And that was a phenomenal offense. I remember the coach (Denny Green, I think it still was) saying "We have more weapons than North Korea." That was also the year Gary Anderson had the perfect season - and shanked the winning FG in the NFC Championship game. Only reason they didn't make the Superbowl that year.

Deliver a knee to the head. Bring the two goalpost pipes back to the goal line. Toss out roughing-the-passer penalties. Your point fails - you cannot toss away the differences. Much as you seem to want to do so. Blah, blah...

Much as you seem to want to do so. Stop it. You should know by now that for most of this board, all existence began in 1990. And I'm guessing that 'turf toe' didn't appear on too many injury reports in the 1950s.

If any of the freaks of nature of 2009 were pulling that kinda crap years ago, and at the speed of today's game, the league would have folded in less than two years.
