The question that WILL NOT DIE.
Which was the better team?
The 1985 Bears
OR
The 1970's (pick a year) Steelers.

This is complete and total crap and I'm sick of it and exactly why I haven't posted on a football message board in over a year. Thanks for the invite, Walker, but I refuse to get into this moderator egomaniac thing again.

Just to help bring this back on topic...
I, too, think the '85 Bears were the best team I have ever seen play, though I was pretty young at the time and my memory of them is a little hazy. One team you did not mention in your list of pretenders, SW, are the undefeated Miami Dolphins and their "Killer Bees"! I cannot properly comment on them as they were before my time and I did not see them play their undefeated season. That having been said, the Chicago Bears of '85 had, I would say, the best defense of all-time and were the best team of this day and age (loosely-termed). I suppose one could consider the undefeated Dolphins as being of an earlier era.

The greatest team I have ever seen is:
The 1985 Chicago Bears.
There is no question about this.
In the PlayOffs, the '85 Bears WERE NOT SCORED ON by the best the NFL had to offer.
Nada. Zip. Zero points.

Hey.
Respect your elders, sonny
LOL.
By the way.
Anything any of you tykes would like to know before, say, Troy Aikman - feel free to ask.

PS: The rumour is true. Before starring in commercials with "ALF", Terry Bradshaw actually played football. Believe it or not.
PPS: But, then again, maybe "ALF" need explaining too.
PPPS: How old are you guys, anyway? ???

I remember watching the Bears in '85, but was too young to appreciate how good they were. It's tough to compare teams from different eras. The game has changed so much over the years and it's impossible to really know who's "the best" unless they actually play each other. This is one of those sports arguments that will never be resolved. Similar to, "Who's the best QB of all time?" Ask 5 people, you'll get 5 different answers... The thing is, none of them are right or wrong.
