Greatest American Football Team

Since Joe Fist, Darv, and I hijacked the other football thread, I thought I'd post a new one, to try and save face.

I'll start with this:

Dallas Cowboys 1992-1995 was a great team

Super Bowl Champions: (5)
VI (1971), XII, (1977), XXVII (1992), XXVIII (1993), XXX (1995)

Super Bowl Appearences: (8)
V (1970), VI (1971), X (1975), XII (1 ...[text shortened]... , 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2003

I was going to write a poem... but...

4 years... 3 rings in a modern free agent era. Need I say the name?

Gotta go with the Steelers of the 70s...mainly because I think that they faced the toughest competition, not only in their Super Bowls, but in the AFC as well...

Super Bowl 9 - (Jan 1975) defeated Minnesota...Minnesota was a legitimately great team, with an awesome defense...final score was 16 ...[text shortened]... teams... players are getting bigger and stronger (for whatever reasons) all the time...

God it's close between the Steelers and the Niners , but I think Bloop said it all . Big ditto and a rec . Awwwwsome research ! What do you do , write for S I ?

Yes, that's one thing that old time teams had an advantage over modern teams, is that in this era of fee agency, it's very difficult to keep a team together (whether the team is good or bad).

A guy I knew in high school played for the Cowboys for many years... His name is Jim Jeffcoat (he's now on the Dallas coaching staff). He wore #77 I believe, played on the defensive line... John Madden loved the guy...

He went to the Cowboys in the 83 draft, and played there for many years before playing his last year or two in Buffalo... great player...

Once he went to the Cowpokes, I didn't hate them any more... but I hated them in the 70s (although I always had tremendous respect for them).

Thanks! The 70s are kind of right in my wheelhouse, at least as far as football goes... ah, the good ol' days!
