NFC East Greatest Superbowl Teams Who Would Win?

[Flamma]

They played the niners on monday night football earlier in the year and lost 7-3. The NY Defense was dominant in that game too! They both started 10-0! Phil Simms got hurt and it took them a couple of weeks to get it together on offense and figure out how to handle Hostetler as QB. They were never really the #2 team in the nfc in 90 it was like 1A and 1B

I know. The point spread was 49ers -3 and that was during the time I was a heavy gambler. I had 300 bucks on the 49ers. The game came down to the Giants in the redzone. I will remember that game forever.

The reason I say they were the 2nd best team is because the championship game was all but over. And the fact they lost that game 7-3. But both teams were great. The Giants needed a miracle in that championship game and got it. Had the 49ers RB not fumbled with about 2 and a half minutes left on first down in Giants territory, game over. The 49ers were the better team. But not by much.

The 90 giants got two of the most incredible plays to go their way in the playoffs/Superbowl. Roger craig fumbled right after Montana was knocked out by leonard Marshall and then norwood missed wide right.

Actually, Steve Young came in and drove them right down the field. They had a first and 10 with just over 2 and a half minutes in Giants territory. The game was essentially over. Then Craig fumbles.

wasn't the fumble on that same drive? young came in and then craig fumbled? I haven't watched that game in a while i just remember it as craig fumbling late and giving ny a miracle shot at a field goal.

Give me a break dude. You belittled the 92 Cowboys with your “they would not smash the Giants or Commanders”. You obviously never watched the 92 Cowboys or you wouldn’t say the crap you’re saying.

Give me a break ! i'm not gonna waste my time arguing with you, your right i never ever watched the 92 cowboys

 

[DandyDon52]

Yeah you're pretty spot on. The Super Bowls the Cowboys lost were exciting. I absolutely despised Pittsburgh.

I think dallas lost those Pittsburgh SB's due to Bradshaw being able to call his own plays, and Staubach was landrys puppet QB.
I think is some of the comebacks staubach did, he was calling the plays.
Landry is the reason we have OC's and puppet QB's today. he was successful over the years, but in games against good teams with good defense
he wasnt that good.
Staubauch was smart and experienced, and on the field, he should have called the plays.

There was one incident, where hollywood made franco really mad, and he came back to the huddle and said give me the ball, I am gonna
run over that xxx , so terry called a run play and gave franco the ball , and a 20 yd td run was the result.
Staubach in same situation would have to call what landry sent in, which eliminates things like what bradshaw did.

even today I think it is stupid that guys like rodgers, mahomes,Brady, even dak, dont call their own plays.
Only with rookie, or dumb qb's should the oc call the plays.

As a cowboy fan I would take any of those three over that 92 team.

Time for a change of pace thread for some fun.

If the following great teams from the NFC East Played one another in a round robin tournament how would the finish from top to bottom.

1986 NY Giants - Overall Record 14-2- offense led by Sims , Morris , Bavaro / Defense led by LT , Martin , Marshall, Carson this scary defense wreaked havoc and dominated. The Giants Offense was blue collar like and averaged 23.2 PPG which ranked 8th. There Defense gave up 14.8 ppg which ranked 2nd

1991- Washington Commanders - Overall Record 14-2 Offense was explosive 30.3 ppg for number 1 ranking while the defense ranked 2nd only giving up 14.0 ppg - offense was led by Rypien , Clark, Monk , Byner & the Hogs. Defense Also Loaded with Mann , Marshall, Millen , Green and Collins

1992 Dallas Cowboys - 13-3 Overall Record Offense was ranked 2nd averaging 15.6 ppg while the defense gave up 15.2 ppg good for the 5th spot . Offense featured the triplets, The great wall, novacek / The defense was led by Haley , Maryland, Norton

2017 Philadelphia Eagles 13-3 Overall Record they scored 28.6 ppg good for 3rd best and the defense gave up 18.4 ppg good for 4th offense featured foles, blount, ertz , jeffrey - while the defense featured Cox, Jenkins Darby and Grahem

Who You Got ? How would they Finish And Why

I think that 92-95 Cowboys team would destroy those teams. Frankly I struggle to think of any team in history that would have beaten that team.

who are u talking to jinxx? I must have them on ignore lol I cant see them

LOL Rockport we just disagree no big deal -

 

[DandyDon52]

wow the 90 Giants has Parcells as HC, Bellichick as DC, and Tom coughlin as wr coach, and Romeo Crenel as DL coach !
No wonder they played so hard lol and created some luck or magic.

I dont think i have anyone on the ignore list LOL

Yes. Young came in and drove them down the field. One really good pass for like 20 yards. The 49ers had a 1st and 10 in Giants territory with around 2 and a half minutes. Then Craig fumbled.

I agree with you 100%. I always thought it was stupid that a veteran QB doesn't call his own plays. Absolutely ridiculous. But hey, that's how they do it now.

Of course, most are going to say the Cowboys.

It's between the 86 Giants, the 91 WFT and the 92 Cowboys.
I think the Giants have the best defense, but they went up against a Broncos team that didn't really have a potent offense outside Elway. It did not have the running attack like the Skins or the Cowboys did. So I don't know how the Giants would have fared against either the Skins or the Cowboys offense.
I would say the Skins had the advantage in play calling with Gibbs as coach, but it's hard to place him above Jimmy Johnson, who was a master motivator. And the Hogs were as formidable on the offensive line as we were.

I think, overall, the Skins defense was a bit better than ours, so I'll give it to them by an inch.

Well, you’d be an epic idiot.

I think this was a very objective opinion - That Giant D was nasty not to mention they had parcells and belichek coaching so i have no doubt they would have had a solid game plan ( not to say it would have worked but both coaches always schemed well ) their O would struggle i believe vs our D though so i think we had the edge

Commanders were nasty to they had a good D and could score on O - this would have been IMO the harder game

I like Aikman hands down over all the other Qb's -

I just believe these games would have been a dogfight for sure and not as easy as many would think.

 

[DUO_CORE]

I think the 92/93 Cowboys beat the 77/78 Cowboys.

It's hard to pull against the Cowboys. They were stocked across the board on offense with Aikman, Irvin, Emmitt, Novacek and the offensive line.

Our defense was great - but it was great because of Haley and the cohesive play of the whole unit. The Giants had stars in Carson, LT and Banks as a linebacking corp. and two of the greatest football minds in Parcells and Belichick. Our defensive weakness was that we had smallish players up front (Maryland and Jones, for example) and at linebacker (Edwards, Smith), and I think the Giants, even though not spectacular on offense, could eat up the clock as they did against the Bills.

So I can't say with certainty the Cowboys would have dusted the Skins or the Giants. I just think Gibbs was a better play caller and strategist overall, which is why I give the Skins at slight edge over the Boyz and the Giants. I mean, he took three teams with three different quarterbacks to Super Bowl wins. That has to account for something.

not me buddy. I’m a realist. As a matter of fact I’m the realist cowboy fan you’ll ever come across.
