We already have a topic that covers from 2000 to 2016, so let's start this topic cover a slightly longer time period. I choose these sets of years for a reason, as 1981 was the 49ers first Superbowl victory, and 1999 was the last year of the 1900s. Also 1999 was when the passing game went to new heights. I feel this era is defined well. The 78 rules changes have already occurred and is established(basically the end of the dead ball era), the 49ers have commenced the start of their golden era, and Brady didn't join the NFL until 2000. If I was writing an NFL History book this would be a nice chapter for a survey of it.

 

I have a poll, and I believe I have my bases cover. Nevertheless, if the team you believe is best is not listed, feel free to vote other and comment which team you feel is best. From 1981 to 1999 only, so no 72 Phins or 76 Raiders for this poll.

I saw all of those teams in action, and would definitely remove the clubs which didn't prove they were best in a single season. So teams like the 1987 Niners, 1983 Redskins, and 1990 Bills are toast. It's a close call between the 1989 Niners and 1992 Cowboys for me. The 1999 Rams had the unbelievable offense, but a strong defense could slow them down, and their defense wasn't as stout as others.  

The 1991 Skins and 1983 Raiders were outstanding, but just slightly below SF and Dallas, in my opinion.
