Winning more games does not mean much when you are in a weak ass division like the Niners and Dolphins. The NFC east back in the 80's and 90's was a beast. Washington, Dallas and Giants won multiple SB's. Not sure you can say that for any other division.

Of course remember the divisions were much different back in the 1980's. The Western division had the Rams, Saints, 49ers, and Falcons. Still nothing compared to the Eastern division back then.

During those days, the NFC East was the toughest division in football. I would have to say that the AFC West was a close second, with the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders combining for five Super Bowl appearances in the 1980s. Also, the Seattle Seahaws and San Diego Chargers, both AFC West teams, both made it to the AFC Championship game in the early 1980s. But they couldn't outgun the teams in the NFC East though.
