Who do you think is the greatest team of all time?

[ReichOneBaby]

Pat's 16-0 season. Honestly they destroyed most/all the teams the played. They had a tough game against the Ravens, and I believe one other, but otherwise they set the NFL record for points scored, amongst other things.

So they lost the Superbowl, with Brady playing on a broken foot, and what not, they were still unreal

I agree with the 2007 Pats. They straight destroyed everyone until the Superbowl. They were way better team than the Giants that year. Not that I'd shed any years for them

I like this from espn.com

1. 1985 Bears
It was, undeniably, cocky for the Bears to record the "Super Bowl Shuffle" video before the playoffs even started, but, to paraphrase an old saying, it ain't cocky if you can back it up.

The 1985 Bears were QBed by the punky, and effective, Jim McMahon. The running attack? Sweetness and, at times, the Fridge. Defense? Impenetrable. The Bears finished the regular season with a 15-1 record, scoring 456 points while allowing only 198.

And they blew through the playoffs, shutting out the Giants 21-0 and then the Rams 24-0 for the NFC title. After the Bears demolished the Pats 46-10 in the Super Bowl, Patriots guard Ron Wooten said, "Before the end, it kind of felt like we were the team that the Globetrotters play all the time."

I'll toss this in for sentiment

10. 1990 Bills
"Wide right" is perhaps the only thing keeping the 1990 Buffalo Bills off your list. This team featured perhaps as many as seven Hall of Fame players and came within two feet of ending the NFC's Super Bowl winning streak. No one had a solution for the K-Gun offense, special teams were superb and the defense was on it's way to becoming one of the best around.

Maybe not the best team ever -- certainly the best team never to win the Super Bowl.

I was sold on the Cleveland 6-3 team as the greatest of all time.

The 85 Bears would get lit up by a current day spread Offense. You would need a team that can stop the big time Offenses and the touchy feely rules of today. Could you immagine trying to stop the Pats passing game with a 4-6? Thats why they only won 1 superbowl. One of 70s Steelers teams..

They were way better? They almost lost to them in week 17.

People tend to overlook that. IMO the Patriots showed their hand in that game vs the Giants. They threw everything at the Giants in the final game to get to 16-0, and that comeback a few weeks later and bit them. Stats are stats. Patriots were bravado talking about "killing" teams and "blowing" out teams. When you look at the Patriots two playoff wins before that very Super Bowl, they seemed to be running out of fuel. The Jaguars and Chargers both played them tough. Patriots a bit cocky and it got them.

Regarding the 2000 Ravens:

What was amazing about that defense is that they did not finish the regular season as the leagues best defense....that was the Titans, under Gregg Williams, who I'm fairly certain had statistically the best defense of all time that same season.

The Ravens only held the title of least points allowed.

And the fewest rushing yards allowed in a season.

[Kelly2Reed46]

two teams that come to mind for me BOTH didn't win the superbowl... the 98 vikings and the 18-1 patriots

[MDBillz]

1994 49ers. That's right. With Steve Young and a prime Primetime.

They were dominant on both sides of the ball.

I remember Brady scoffing at a reporter when the guy asked him about (I think it was Plax's prediction) of the score being 24-17 Giants winning. Brady was like "us only score 17 points, ok well that's his opinion" such an arrogant ***, i was so glad the Giants won, knock him down a peg or 2
