I don’t know that 2015 broncos team was something else, Brady and gronk fought to the damn end against that team.

[–] horse3000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Legion of boom, embarrassed a record breaking offense in the Super Bowl by completely destroying them.

2015 broncos aren’t even close.

[–] RianJohnsonSucksAzz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No. Hawk and Animal were not very good football players.

[–] SourBerry1425@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Best of this era yeah

1970s Raiders

I know I’m getting old when youngsters are asking about the old time legendary LOB secondary lmao

[–] XOnYurSpot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Boom *

[–] eaunoway@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not even.

The 60s Lions had 3 HOFmers in Night Train Lane, Dick Lebeau as a player, and Yale Lary. Night Train still has the single-season INT record.

[–] Boukish@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Night Train played a brand of football that could only be defined as lethal. Like, literally, the shit he used to do would get you ejected from games in the modern NFL.

That record will not ever be broken and may as well have an era asterisk on it, like the ridiculous tackle totals of yore or rookie sack records before they were tracked.

They are the best WWF Tag Team of their Era! Their facepaints are awesome and made them look intimidating.

[–] Navy_and_sports@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Depends who you ask

[–] busterknows@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No

[–] TheSmallIndian@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Legion of Whom better

[–] Horror_Cap_7166@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

All time? No. They were amazing, but their cover 3 scheme got figured out. They were never the same after Brady dinked and dunked all over them in the super bowl.

[–] VbardV@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Solomon Grundy want pants too!

[–] Ill_Enthusiasm6661@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ll take him as an o lineman. We can’t get worse.

[–] NO_TOUCHING__lol@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes.

Ignore my flair

What is up with this Reddit board making spelling mistakes, this is like the 3rd one I've seen in 24 hours here

[–] GalacticMoss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No Fly Zone might be better

[–] SavageFugu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, bad question. Different answers.

[–] 20Keys2theHead@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Eric Wright, Ronnie Lott, Carlton Williamson, Dwight Hicks

[–] CureUrNastyThoughts@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If Jeremy Lane doesn't get injured in Super Bowl 49, Russ never throws the fuck Marshawn special and 1 and done becomes back to back with a chance at the 3-Pete.

TLDR: Add Jeremy Lane to the list
