'91 Redskins.

Unstoppable Offense, impenetrable Defense, and HOF-ers up and down the roster including Head Coach.

I wish I was older so I could have actually experienced that season as a fan(was only 3 in 1991).
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Best I watched was the 96 Packers. '91 was my 2nd year of college and I was too wasted to pay much attention. The 16-0 Pats were right there too. The Niners team that won the Super Bowl w/ Steve Young was awesome too.

Most underrated team: the Browns team that lost on The Fumble. That team wins the AFC every other year except the Raiders team that killed the Skins in the Super Bowl in 83.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game

The best team I've ever seen was the 16-0 Pats team. They had a silly good offense and a good defense. Now of course they can't be the greatest of all-time without the ring (Damn you Asante, catch the ball….I’m over it I promise :-? ).

I can’t argue against the 96 packers as well as some of the Cowboys and 49ers teams of the 90's. I never saw the Bears superbowl team, but they have to be up there as well.

The two best teams I can remember watching were the 98 Vikings and the 16-0 Patriots. Both teams had insane offenses, Randy Moss and good, but not great defenses. Neither of them won rings, either.

85 Bears.

Also the 89 49er's team was really good too.

According to a poll I found in website Zanda, the greatest NFL team is Green Bay Packers.

Here are the others who made it to top 5:
#5 Chicago Bears
#4 Dallas Cowboys
#3 San Francisco 49ers
#2 Washington Redskins

A team no one will mention: 1987 49ers.

Take out scab games and win differential is up there with 85 Bears. Average game 31-15. By far the top scoring offense in the league, coupled with top yardage defense in the league/scoring defense in NFC. Rice on pace for 31 TDs over 16 games (23 in 12).

Antony Carter goes insane in playoffs, or this team goes down as one of the greatest ever. I think Bill Walsh said it was his most talented team.

The best team I've watched play is the '94/'95 49ers. I still remember most of their starting lineup.

From what I've heard, the best team ever is the '85/'86 Bears but that's off hearsay and a bit of tape.

with a competent coach, the 49ers wouldnt have even been the best team that season
