When I started this project, I went to a few random websites to see what other people picked for the best NFL teams of all-time. All six sites I visited picked the ’85 Bears for the number 1 spot. The ’72 Dolphins finished at #2 on 5 websites and #3 on the 6th. This was not much of a surprise. Interestingly enough, no other team was on all six sites top ten lists.
Besides the Big Two, the following teams showed up on at least three of the lists:
1989 San Francisco 49ers
1991 Washington Redskins
1984 San Francisco 49ers
1999 St. Louis Rams
2007 New England Patriots
1962 Green Bay Packers
1975 Pittsburgh Steelers
1994 San Francisco 49ers
1971 Dallas Cowboys
Of these, I would probably pick the ’84 49ers as the best of this bunch. They went 15-1 and went on to beat a very good Dolphins team rather easily in Super Bowl XIX. Out of curiosity, what do you guys think? Are the websites all wet? Are there other teams that you think should be in a top ten list?
FYI. Here are the websites that I looked at:

Bleacher Report
