The 81 and 88 teams didn't have a team like the Patriots as a possibility or even face a team with the defense that the Broncos have.
If we met up with either of those teams in the divisional round and lost an extremely close and tough game. I would still have to say this is the best team in our history.
Regular season wins are great. I was at the game last night, and it was fun. This is a talented team. So, I take nothing away from this team, and this 36-year-fan and avowed agnostic prays they finally hoist the Lombardi come February. But if you want to be considered the best team in team history, then you have to at least be playing on a Sunday in February liie those two squads before you.
So, I beleive if they lose in the divisionsal round, there are no moral victories. They're just a team that won a lot of regular season games and flushed a golden opportunity away by once again choking in the playoffs, and you know that's what every single person outside of this fan base will call them. And, yeah, and that would still probably be a fun ride up until the flaming crash at the end. But, it won;t make them the best bengal team ever.
Get some post-season wins and then let's re-examine the debate.
