Yeah that's true, across the board that Pats team was scary. They're my 1B team of all time. (the other would be a toss up between the '89 and '94 49ers)

The 1998 Vikings don't get enough love because they got overshadowed so quickly by the Rams. That team had a historically great offense with washed up Randall Cunningham at QB.

The early nineties Cowboys....Those long drives in the 2nd half made for short games.

Has a receiver ever splashed in his rookie season bigger than Randy did in '98?

God, that was fun to watch.

The numbers are nowhere near as big, but there's this kid from the Giants you should check out.

I guess I wouldn't say he splashed bigger than Moss. Probably because I'm just too close to that '98 Vikes team.

I don't think anyone is going to splash bigger than moss from a pure HOLY ****! WHO'S THIS GUY perspective. ODB had a great season and lots of people were talking about him but it took that one hand catch to really open people's eyes as to what he's capable of and how good of a player he is.

Moss on the other hand, had people talking about him like he was the Second Coming after week 1 of the '98 season.

I kind of want to agree as well as that offense that year was just unbelievable even with a defense that didn't get them nearly the same amount of turnovers from the defense as in '09.

I still believe that team would have been in a SB if that defense doesn't just fall apart in the final few minutes against Alex Smith
