You're right they did lose the Super Bowl twice to the 49ers. Idk how I missed that.
I remember the 81 Ken Anderson team, and thinking that was the better team at the time. I think they were favored.
49ers seemed like smoke and mirrors back then. As I recalled, they floundered around a couple seasons afterwards before regaining their stride, although Montana really emerged as a premier QB during that time.

I can't buy into any ranking that has the Giants top 2. Even in their Super Bowl seasons they often weren't considered "great".

edit to adjust the Giant's place, and really, the Pack too. There was a huge stretch between Starr and Favre where they weren't any good.

How do you keep the Oilers/Titans together, yet separate the Browns/Ravens? Sure, there was an expansion team given that same uniform, but the Raven's lineage traces directly to the "good" version of the Browns. If you go by the actual team, they would be way up there.

I would say go by city, but that would make a mess with NY; you could add conference but then you have cities like Seattle that swapped over (also Pittsburg, Cleveland and Baltimore).
