Most dominant Super Bowl team.

[Panic]

I am a Steeler fan, but I am asking the team that was without a doubt the most dominant the year they won. Without a doubt I go with the 85 Bears. 46-10 over the Pats. That team was levels above everyone. The two games they played in the playoffs, prior to the Super Bowl were shut outs.

Here are my comments from last year.

I will base my decision on what I have seen on television all these years.

The '85 Bears are the best team that I have ever seen. I have been watching NFL football since Super Bowl III. They had a complete team. So what, they lost one game. This does not mean they are not the best team ever.

There was absolutely no rational football fan that thought the Bears would lose in the Super Bowl. Forget the spread, that has to do with gambling, not with people who think a team will win or lose.

The Steve Young 49ers. I believe it was 1996.

They annihilated teams week-in-and-week-out down the stretch, ended up going into the Super Bowl as ~23 point favorites - and covered.

the score was 49-26

Also that team fell down 40-0 losing 40-8 to Phily in the first year of the 2 point conversion.

I just remember that the last 8 weeks of the regular season (with the exception of the last week when they sat their regulars) then all through the playoffs, every game was a cover - often as a double-digit favorite - and an OVER - just by the sheer unstoppability of their offense.

They were in a different league than everyone else.

85 Bears had so much talent its unreal.....plus fukin DITKA I mean c'mon

[pico]

so what will the spread be if the 85 bears played the steve young 49ers in a neutral field...let's say in tampa.

2007 Giants. Won Superbowl as 14.5 point underdogs beating an 18-0 team.

Thats a good question, pico. No way anyone can set one. Kinda like asking what the spread would be between the '78 Steelers and the '93 Cowboys.

I agree that this is uncappable in a realistic fashion but for fun an what I see on paper...


Chicago -2.5 o/u 42.5

If Chicago didn't lead up to this "fantasy" super bowl with back to back shutouts I can see this being a pick'em. I was skeptical of putting up what I think is a high o/u for the game but even the greatest defenses when faced with a tough offensive adversary can suffer 14-17pts and that Niners team fit that roll easily. Less we forget that the Bears could lay on some points too.

Chicago 23-17

49ers by 10.5

[Willie Bee]

Those early Packers, the 70s Steelers, the '85 Bears and the Montana 49ers are the best teams ever.

The Dynamic Duo of Elway and 2,000 yards rusher NFL MVP Terrell Davis in 99' Superbowl

It would have to be the 92-93 Cowboys.

the score was 49-26

My strong memory of that Super Bowl was the last minute or so. San Fran had the game won comfortably and was basically celebrating on the sidelines. I guess the spread was actually 22 because I remember they were on the right side of it.

Meanwhile San Diego started driving. San Fran didn't even have all their starters on the field and they were playing this half-hearted prevent defense. San Diego was actually trying though and was moving downfield towards a "meaningless" score.

I remember the announcer saying something like, "Suddenly a lot of football fans are on the edge of their seats. I'm not saying why. I'm just saying."

He was so right.

I don't remember the details but something happened and the Chargers came up empty.

49ers by 10.5

lol. You're outta your fvcking mind.

I think Young threw 6 TD's in that superbowl

Against no defense. Tell me how the Bear defense of 85 was. The first 2 teams they played in the playoffs, they shut out.
1st round: Bears 21 Giants 0
2nd round: Bears 24 Rams 0
Super Bowl: Bears 46 Pats 10


So in 3 playoff games, they only allowed 10 points. There hasnt been a playoff team in history who has shutout 2 teams in a row in the playoffs.

lol. You're outta your fvcking mind.

Yeah maybe. But man I loved that 9ers team. I made so much money on them.

I'm not saying my spread is wrong though. Those 9ers played all the best defenses that were out there for them and no one could keep it close.

[The Seer]

The 85 Bears were the most dominant I ever saw. Hell, those guys made "The Superbowl Shuffle" telling everyone what they were gonna do and did it. That 49ers team got their ass kicked one time at home if I recall. They beat Dallas at home by 10, nowhere near as dominant.

I hear ya, Mud. I watched both teams, and no offense, but I think you're an old guy like me, and you watched them too. Both great teams.

68-69 colts most dominate team ever, there is a reason they were 19 point fav's in the super bowl
