    Hey, I mentioned that in another thread. I also included the Giants' defenses, if only for their playoff runs.

    Funny how Seattle's number keeps going up.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Interesting, among the top 5 defenses all time. They sure played like it yesterday.

    I get the point, but what does that prove. I think its just hard in general to win multiple superbowls no matter how you get it done. Since the start of the salary cap era (1994), only the pats have able to win three and get to four or more. Since 2000, 11 different teams have represented the NFC in the superbowl. Only the Giants have been able to go multiple times. Whats kind of sad is since 1994 we are probably the only team that can say they have had two MVP/Hall of frame Qbs every year and we have only won two in the last 20 years.

    edit: Settle went in 05

    I needed to do a full analysis before placing my vote. Voting is still open for a couple of hours.

    Personnel wise, it's a mismatch when one GM has to start with a cap half-filled by the QB. Seattle is in that sweet spot where they are getting $50M QB play out of a $1M player. Seattle's defense has been beefed-up thru free agency (not to mention Percy Harvin.)

    Kind of a double-edged sword to have a franchise QB like Manning, Rodgers, Brady. Your superman better be super, because your D probably has weak spots.

    To make matters worse for Denver, they played without their defensive stud, Von Miller.
