1991 Redskins best team ever (finally recognized)

I agree with Giantone, there is no such thing as best team ever. There a ton of opinions and that is all.
I will say one thing, there are less dynasty type super teams in the 2000's (2000-today) then there were in the 70's, 80's and 90's. In the 70's-90's you had 8 to 10 excellent teams that played well at all phases and were not one dimensional like alot of todays top teams
In the 70's 80's and 90's you had the Steelers, Redskins, Dallas, 49ers, Chicago, Giants, Raiders, Eagles were capable of winning the super bowl in any year and the games between them were physical wars.
Today's flag football pass happy football with rules to protect Qb's and give free release to receivers is a joke. The top teams of today are so one-dimensional pass happy like the Peyton Manning's Colts or Brady's Patriots they would have been beat by the better Steel Curtain defense,, 85 Bears defense, Cowboys Doomsday type top defenses of yesterday.
This is one area where free agency hurt the top level play of the NFL.
Today there are a lot of mediocre teams that have to re-build all the time. The Patriots and Colts are the few teams that have been somewhat able to keep strong teams and they really are not that great most of the time.

During the decade of 2000-2009, the Patriots made it to 4 super bowls and won three, their one loss coming on a 16-0 season. The Steelers, meanwhile, won two super bowls and reached the AFC Championship game four times.
