the 07 and 11 teams are not in the top 100 teams of all time, and 07 definitely is not 53. That's not a slight - IMO, that's what made the superbowls so god damn special. We were not the best team in the league the year, we were just the champions, which is the only thing that matters. I love it.
If anything, the 08 team was better than both of them
The 2007 team was a more balanced team. The defense came together and we had a running game with the three headed monster running backs. I think the 2011 team was 32nd in the league in rushing that year. 1986 team tops them all.
Parity and FA watered down the league to some extent Â
any team in salary cap era would have a hard time holding up against their pre-FA predecessors once you adjust for the increase in athletic ability. It was just much easier to build a dominant roster and keep it together longer.
Until Plax decided it was a good idea to just have a gun hanging out on a belt clip in a club. I know it’s how you finish and not how you start. But that team was rolling. Beating teams they never seemed to beat. Including the cardinals and Steelers who I think that was the year they played in the super bowl. He should have won MVP that year because they went from like 11-1 to 1-5 without him.

I had originally heard he had sweatpants on... in the club... a gun in his sweatpants, waistband, in the club... cant make that up, can you?

I’d argue 2008 was even better, but I don’t think I would have many people here disagree with me.
'07 > '11.

They overcame a lot of injuries and as they got healthy the talent showed. Probably TC's favorite "team" as they really came together.
