We all know about perhaps the best draft class ever- 1974 Steelers getting Swann/Stallworth/Lambert/Webster.
But what were opposites? Teams that basically had a draft class that was anything but the stuff of greatness.

Re: Best ever Forty Niners team?
1989
They played a much tougher schedule in a more rugged NFC.
The 84 49ers basically only faced 2 decent QB's, Theismann and Simms, until SB 19.

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
What if the Bears don’t win 1977’s Slush Bowl and miss the playoffs?
Washington instead would have played LA in the Mud Bowl

Re: Were 10-6 49ers of '91 as good as record indicated?
I don't think the 49ers were as good as their record in 91, but that was true in several other 90's seasons as well, like 1990, 92, 93, 94, 96, 97, and 98. Those teams have more flaws than people give them credit for because people were brainwashed by the 9er-loving media that their players were th...

Michael Strahan- Did he only make the HOF because of his storybook ending?
IMHO, He was the Joe Namath of defensive players- only made the HOF because he played in NY, had one gaudy outlier of a season (Namath's 4000 yard season, Strahan's sack record) and had an all time SB upset. If they lose to DAL/GB or even that SB and he retires without a ring.... are we sure he's in...

2002 Bucs
No more GB/CHI cold weather trips, new division, got to play ATL/CAR/NO, won SB in year 1 of said realignment

Re: 1994 Steelers vs. 1997 Steelers
The 94 Steelers were better. The 1997 team shouldn't have even made the playoffs. They had a few games they should have lost, like Washington, @Baltimore, @Arizona, and @NE. Den and KC were the two best teams in the AFC that year, and that was the defacto AFC Title Game. Oh please. 97 KC was a frau...

The 6 Losses of the 1991 SF 49ers
The 91 49ers have been rhapsodized as the best team to ever miss the playoffs, how they turned a 3-6 start into 7 straight wins. But rather than dig into the hot finish, I want to look at their 6 losses (by a combined 26 points). Week 1 at NY- NFC CG rematch, Young vs Hostetler. Got beat yet again b...
