I don't know why the Marv Levy Bills never won a Super Bowl; you're right that the talent on those teams was phenomenal.  I think partly the explanation is that they were just unlucky.

But the Oilers were not in the same class.  The Oilers never had a consistent ball-hogging running game, and their defense had a way of getting lit up now and then (as in that famous playoff game--which was actually in 1993).  I forget, but didn't their pass rush really suck?


No, they actually had a good pass rush, DE William Fuller saw 4 Pro Bowls, DE Sean Jones ended up with 113 sacks and a couple of trips to Hawaii,  and Childress at DT went to 5 Pro Bowls; more often than not the secondary let us down.
 
And there's always the argument that both teams, using quick strike offenses, tended to wear their own defensive troops down.
 
I'd agree that Buffalo had better talent, but Houston certainly had enough to make it all the way, if all the cards had come out right.

Seems he had himself a nice little star studded B day Party in LA. And anyone who doubts that he is all about *TEAM* can just step back. He invited all his team mates. Seems only 3 showed up tho.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh Steelers running backs are supposed to be big and strong, rugged and durable, perfect symbols like Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris of a tough-as-it-gets franchise. Willie Parker is much different, and he finds himself in their record book because of it. 
Parker, a speed back in an offense built around power, broke the Steelers' single-game rushing record with 223 yards - a game better than either Harris or Bettis enjoyed - and Pittsburgh excelled as usual in cold weather by roughing up the offense-less Cleveland Browns 27-7 Thursday night.

Funny how our memories differ -- the first player I think of associated with the Oilers is Earl Campbell, and then after a few visions of him running over guys flash through my mind I can't remember much about their passing game.

edited to add -- oops, I missed the part where you guys were talking about early '90s and I know Campbell was long gone by then.

And the Browns certainly didn't live up to all my praise this past week.  But these Thursday night games are turning out to be not very indicative of a team's true level, and the Steelers are good enough to paste anybody when they're not turning the ball over.

I know I said something nice about the Longhorns (who I really only like because an ex-Longhorn pays my tuition ) and they haven't won a game since. This same ex-player, back when the Cowboys went with Romo, said that Parcells was writing off the rest of the season.
 
I guess that's why I picked a lot of upsets in the bowls. It seems like that sort of year.
 
Who does everyone think is going to be in the Superbowl?

Ah, who knows?  At the beginning of the season I would've said Panthers vs Bengals.  But the Panthers now suck.  The Bengals have a chance, but the Ravens may be the ones.  I think it looks good the Cowboys as the NFC representative.

Hmmmmm.
 
Dallas against either Indy or San Diego, and the Ravens could make it, if their offense holds up their end.

It should be a good game.  Romo is smokin'.  If he can keep this peak going the Cowboys may go the entire way this year!

Atl 7, Tampa Bay 6

Ravens 12 KC 0

Miami leads mbmbn's Pats 6-0

Giants 17 Carolina 10

Houston leads the Titans 14-6
