They base a lot of their decision that New England was the better Dynasty on the fact that New England beat more quality teams. Better "Big Game" team.
BS I say.
The post free agent, 32 team NFL is anything but stacked with talented teams.
In 1992 you had a dominant 49'er team that you had to beat every year (and sometimes twice a year), as well as some very good teams around the NFL. The NFL didn't have the Jacksonville/Carolina/Houston etc. teams that have watered down the talent around the NFL.
Flat out, the playoff teams in 2004 simply didn't have as much talent as the playoff teams from 1992.
Heck, I'd say that the opponent in the Super Bowl in 2004 (Philly) wasn't nearly as talented as the Buffalo team with Kelly, Thurman, Bruce Smith, Andre Reed, etc. that we decimated. Not even close, IMO.
Plus, New England didn't have to overcome a Dynasty like we did with the 49'ers. We had to beat them out to even get to the super bowl. Who did New England have to beat out? Indy? Who else would have provided enough of a challenge to stop New England?
Not to mention that Dallas didn't have the ability to go out and get a player they need to get over the hump (in free agency) like the Pat's did in 2004. It was all our own homegrown players back then.
