Just impossible for you to stay on thread isn't it? Can't help yourself. :pityfool:

You mentioned the 85 Bears and while they may be the best team ever, their opponents were cupcakes in the Super Bowl.

The 1990 Bills were on of the greatest offenses the NFL had ever seen. So I respect that coaching performance.

Not every Super Bowl can be a dominant beatdown like the Eagles blowing out the Chiefs, which shocked you so hard you needed 2 weeks to recover.

The reason the bills didn’t score more was because the giants held the ball for over 40 minutes.
I don’t think the giants were dominant defensively that game.

It has to be Seattle against Denver.
That Denver offense was crazy good and got shutdown.

1986 Bears. Case closed. The 4-6 defense was a complete nightmare.

46 defense

4-6 defense would mean playing with one DB.

Also SB winning teams are usually referred to by their season year, not the year when the SB was played.

Guys guys, you are all correct. There are so many great defensive performances, the Ravens, the Bears, the Raiders, the seahawks, the 9ers. Its all personal preference.
The 1 i like was Aaron Donald. They pissed him off, and he just flipped a switch, and then proceeded to bury Joe burrow. That was a fun one. But they're all good.
