Tis OK, I suppose... :D

So the 49ers weren't a great team?

I do think it's a shame that Seau may now have to retire without a ring. Still, a run with the Chargers to end his career would be nice.

All great teams have lost in Super Bowls? Huh? No they haven't...

The Steelers, since 1992, have been in divisions which have produced 26 playoff appearances, 4 super bowl appearances (from 3 different teams) and 2 Super Bowl wins. Of course, I don't see what the early 90s has to do with the present day Steelers.

Steelers have been in far from the worst division since re-alignment. That would go to the AFC East and NFC West.

I don't know that Tennessee will be able to make the playoffs again. A new offense for Young to play with next year may get them off to a slow start. Of course, a sub .500 team is likely to make the playoffs next year; it happens often enough. I think the Broncos will do well, but can also...

Colts, Chargers, Steelers. Though I feel the Broncos may bounce back well.

Teams scoring outside of the allotted injury time in soccer is actually quite common.

So is it still the Baltimore Colts? Chicago Cardinals? Anyways, my point wasn't that the Patriots aren't a "Boston" team. Just that it's ludicrous to consider the Sox, Pats, Celtics, etc. small market teams. They simply aren't; they have a massive following all around New England as well as...

People did hate the Cowboys like this, however.

To be entirely fair, it's not the Boston Patriots...

York and Nolan may fluke it, but I'm not holding out hope.... You're right about Kraft and Belichick. Still, we felt the same about Eddie and Walsh/Seifert. Nothing lasts forever.

Elway reached 3 Super Bowls well before Montana, no?

At the time (1987), the 49ers very much expected to be in the running for Super Bowls for many a year (much like the Pats should be now). I'm one of the Niner fans who believe that Montana would easily have got number 5 for us instead of Young (which would have been ideal), as well as perhaps...

Elite corners don't make every play; I'd think Asante is without doubt an elite CB, in comparison to this current generation of CBs.

I don't think the Asante pick was as easy as many fans seem to think.

I know the Niners won 5 Super Bowls, fella. I'm talking about perception. The Colts are seen as the "classy" team; this gets up Pats fans nose. Same with the 49ers for the Cowboys. During the rivalry years, the 49ers won one Super Bowl to the Cowboys three. Rather like the Colts currently...

I'm no huge Colts fans, but if the Pats and Colts are today's Cowboys and 49ers, it's easy to see which team fits which (as well as the 3 Super Bowls compared to one). I seem to remember Cowboys fans getting their panties in a twist every 5 seconds about how the 49ers were perceived as...

The Cowboys were despised by many fanbases far more (or at least ast much) as the Pats are now. You can't compare the Pats dynasty to the Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, etc. There hasn't been enough time to put it in an historical perspective; give it 5 or so years after Belichick leaves before...
