RIP Chuck Noll

[Batman]

I loved that era in football, Batman.
Even a Bears team that went 14-2 got dumped on its ass by a Wild Card team.
Such strength in the NFC at that time.
The AFC had been in too much transition with the decline of the Dolphins and Steelers.
None of the teams that tried to wrest their power could keep it together for very long at all, notably the Bengals and Patriots.
The Broncos were like a prom queen where everyone else is sick.
Then came the Bills, who should have won one if not two.

I remember by the mid-90s there was a movement to scrap the conferences entirely and just take the top 12 teams for the playoffs. Coming back full circle to the Steelers, we might have them to thank for keeping the current setup. Them finally giving the NFC a good game in Super Bowl XXX, even though they lost, put an end to that.
It's funny that the NFC was that dominant in the 80s, though, since the AFC was the same way in the 70s with the Dolphins, Raiders and Steelers all having historically great teams. It was a complete 180-degree turn. The '72 Dolphins, '76 Raiders and '78 Steelers are also on that short list of GOAT teams, just like the Niners, Giants, Bears and Redskins of the '80s.
Kids today don't know how truly great they've got it with the current age of parity.

I've always wondered just how tight Marv Levy's ass was in the locker room prior to those four Super Bowls.

Sexually speaking ??

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Nobody in the other conference was going to beat the 1992 Cowboys.
They were holding a royal flush and dropped the king before Buffalo knew what hit them.
Darryl Talley makes a tackle and they probably beat the Giants.
They should have beaten the team with the racist nickname.

Don't know about beating the Redskins. That game was never really close. It was 17-0 at halftime, and that was a damn dominant Redskins team, too. They made it to Thanksgving unbeaten, and lost two games by a total of five points -- including one in Week 17 when they pulled the starters against the Eagles. The '91 Redskins are one of the forgotten great teams of the Super Bowl era. From Week 1 there was little doubt they were the team to beat that year.
The Bills' second Super Bowl against the Cowboys, though, they should've won. They had the lead at halftime and blew it.

I just think that was Buffalo's best matchup of the four.
That was the Bills' most explosive offense.
They were like an NBA team.
More offensive TDs than punts that season.
