re: 1991 Washington Redskins is the best pro football team of all-time

How can a team be better if they didn't win the Super Bowl? To constitute a best pro football team of all-time, you win the championship you don't runner-up bc runner-ups being better than world champs make zero sense logically.

Well that's not true...in a sport like football at ALL levels.

It's a one-off, one game...you can have a bad game...or have a really bad matchup - one team is designed to beat everyone else but you and the other is designed to beat mostly you.

Great teams have lost so-called "title games" all the time. Baseball and basketball measure the totality of the team in a 4-game series.

Football does not. College is the biggest joke crowning a champion but the NFL isn't all that much better.

We've never had a "National" Champion in CFB. A lot of great teams. But like the Heisman, we've had "the most hyped team be champion for that year." We've had the "fans claim National champion" - the sportswriters claim "National champion" - the ESPN first take National Champion...some "computer in Omaha National Champion" - Team that gets the most publicity and therefore the most votes "National Champion."
