I haven't seen a thread for teh 60s...is there one or an oversight...as none was mentioned...
Every year/decade players are bigger, faster and stronger than players from previous times, so the latest decade team would win. Well, early 90s team wouldn't beat anybody, but in general, the newer teams would win.Which All Decade Team Wins 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s....I am going to leave the 00 out because duh?
70's team by far
Most '90's teams would be the All-Decade teams of the 60's and 70's.
During the 1990's, training and, um, let's say nutrition, were dramatically more advanced than in the past.
In terms of talent, the All-Decade teams of the 70's might be better than the '90's; in terms of size, speed, and strength, they would be overpowered.
i think we need to look at the teams in the era they played in, not comparing them to future when advances are made....that is like saying the Spartans sucked as fighters because they wouldn't be able to defeat one guy in 2009 with a machine gun.
The mid 70's team was unbelievably good - I mean they were stacked at every position, could run over anybody, had a young Grogan, All world tight End - Russ Francis, Stingley, Vataha, Hannah,Gray blocking for Sam Bam Cunningham & Andy Johnson, Stingley was still catching balls and was paired with Randy Vataha. Defensively, Julius Adams in his prime, Sugar Bear Ray Hamilton, Tony McGee on the line, awesome LB's Steve Nelson & Steve Zabel, Steve King and Sam Hunt with DB's Mike Haynes & Tim Fox. Kickers John Smith & Mike Patrick were pretty damn good too.
If Sullivan had left Fairbanks alone, that team would have overcome the Oakland ridiculous call and gone on to win a few superbowls.
Pat, look at it this way though: because you never saw them, it makes you younger than those of us that did. Actually, the Patriots of the 70s frustrated us like the Red Sox did before 2004, except it took until 2001/2002 for the Patriots to make it right.pity that i have never seen ,only read, about the '70 Patriots
