I think I would have to say Dallas in the 79 Superbowl. That team was loaded on both sides of the ball. Hall of fame QB, coach, running back and a great defense. Thankfully, it had a TE with jittery fingers

Agreed.

Yeah 78 Cowgirls. They just made 3 costly mistakes.

1. Jackie Smith drop in the end zone
2. Pissing off Franco before he ran to his TD. He was kept in check all game. Hollywood Henderson yapped too much on the field.
3. Randy White fumble. Who put him on the field for kickoffs when he has a cast in his arm.

They were the defending champs and could have beaten anyone on that day. They had the offense to come back

The AZ Cardinals team that made SBXLIII may have been a flash in the pan type of team, but they were a very good team that year. Took us 3 miracles to get the win.

Disagree. The only reason the Cardinals were winning is the same reason we lost to GB in 2010. Troy got over zealous and missed covering people deep.

Disagree with what? That the Cards were a good team that year, or it took 3 miracles to win that game?

Troy injured his ankle late in the 2010 season. He also had a calf injury earlier that year. He was not 100% going into SB XLV.

So, if I am going to rank teams they beat:
1) 79 Cowboys
2) 84 Niners
3) 75 Cowboys
4) 75 Raiders
5) 74 Vikings
6) 05 Colts
7) 79 Oilers
8) 78 Oilers
9) 08 Ravens
10) 08 Cards

I excluded victories over teams in regular season except for that win over the Niners in 84, since it was the Niners only loss of the year and in San Fran. Some of those regular season Raven victories were over great teams, but a win over a division rival in the regular season is hard to gauge. I think that Card's 08 team was very good. A better team than the 79 Rams or the 05 Seahawks but I can't rank them above those late 70's Oilers teams, mid 70's Raiders teams or that 08 Ravens team.

Good list.

I would put the 84 Broncos in there as that was a playoff game. Steelers had no business being in the 84 AFCC game.
