NFL.....I grew up on excellence and for the most part in the salary cap years, that's gone.

Niners, Giants, Redskins, Cowboys.......now you get for the most party, shoddy football with a few exceptions (Pats/Colts notably)

I don't think it's coincidence we've had half a dozen teams take runs at perfect regular seasons in the last 6-7 years.

Responses:

That seems to contradict itself. You complain of the lack of excellence and then say that it's not a coincidence that so many teams have made a run - Jim Mar 1, 11:13 2
- Not really....it's 1 team a season taking advantage of 26 average to mediocre to bad teams. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:17 1
  - watch some classic NFL replays. those teams were tiny and slow compared to today's. they would get blown off the line -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:22
