What's the greatest NFL offense you've seen?

Not just statistically which can be skewed but taking everything into account - including talent and scheme.

I'd have to say the early 2000's St. Louis Rams aka The Greatest Show on Turf. I remember that team routinely putting up 40+ pts a game and just confounding defenses with all their pre-snap motions and shifts creating mismatches to the point other teams starting complaining about it. Then the personnel - the speed they had at receiver from Isaac Bruce, Tory Holt and Az Akim and how dangerous they were in space. Then there was Marshall Faulk who was such a deadly weapon as a runner and a receiver. Then of course the Cinderella story that was Kurt Warner who still owns the record for most passing yards in a superbowl.

If you love offense (like me) that was the team to watch.

Mid 80s SF 49ers. Joe Montana QB and Steve Young waiting on the bench. Jerry Rice in his prime and when opponents double teamed him they got burned by John Taylor, Brent Jones, etc.

As much as statistics can be skewed, especially by people who don't use them right, it almost always pales in comparison to how people skew things based of anecdotal evidence or how they let their preconceived notions color their judgment.

My bad.

Mark phony bros. Mark Duper and Mark Clayton. Only team that stopped the Bears perfect season on my B-Day on Monday Night with the last of the halftime highlights from Howard Cosell as Al Michael and Don Meredith did the game.

Bears with the 18-1 mark follow by Montana's 18-1 against research on your own in the late 80's vs who. Might of been Ickey "Cold Cuts" Woods Bengals team with Boomer QB as the 49ers 18-1 season. Other was the Patriots CHOKE vs Eli's Giants. Packers are the only 15-1 team entering the playoffs to lose recently in the 1st round. Not the Farve gift INT in the Giants NFCGG fake OT fg upset season. Rodgers choke that game.

Trivia question is to read my BAKED reply and answer questions I just asked

98 Vikings were lethal.

 

[Ace Bandage]

2004 Indianapolis Colts

Peyton Manning: 4,557 passing yards, 49TD
Edgerrin James: 1,548 rushing yard, 483 receiving yards, 9 TD
Marvin Harrison: 1,113 receiving yards, 15 TD
Reggie Wayne: 1,210 receiving yards, 12 TD
Brandon Stokley: 1,077 receiving yards, 10 TD

That team was fun to watch. You never knew who was going to the ball next. You just knew they were going to score a ton of points.

Last week's Dallas Cowboys? Well, DeMarco Murray did very well ... if you overlook that fucking fumble in the beginning of the game.

Seriously ... by any chance did last year's Denver Broncos break any records that The Greatest Show on Turf set?

^^^This. I'd also go with the 80's 49ers. That was back when I still watched football with a passion and those guys were pure magic.

The Green Bay Packers, coached by Vince Lombardi.
Traveling in the car, with my father and a couple of guys from his workplace, from Milwaukee to Green Bay, back in the 60's.
Shivering in the cold, wrapped up in a blanket, sitting in the stands, watching the game.
A very good memory for me.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Dan Marino with D2D.

Yep

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I saw the Greatest Show On Turf get shut down by the Chefs the season after they won it all. We rode a Hooter's chartered bus from Omaha to KC and it was....a bit of a disappointment.

I remember that game. It was former Rams QB Trent Green vs.
his former team. I believe Dick Vermeil was coaching the Chiefs too. And I'm pretty sure he cried.

1976 Oakland Raiders- 15 -1. Stabler, Branch, Biletnikoff, Caspar, Clarence Davis, Mark van Eeghan, and the immortal Pete Banaszak

That must've been awesome if cold as tits.

I would've loved to have watched in person (nevermind been alive) the glory days of the Boston Celtics (their most recent run notwithstanding) with Bird, McHale, the Chief and Co., going back to their Bill Russell and Bob Cousy days on that hallowed parquet floor.

 

[ThatRedWing]

I would go with the early to mid 90's Cowboys. Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, Moose and the best O-line in football. They could run or pass and come the fourth quarter they would just run the ball down a teams throat.

I was about 17 or 18 when it was the Celtics vs The Lakers. That was some awesome NBA back then. I used to enjoy watching the Bad Boys of Detroit too. Bill Laimbeer Vinny The Microwave Johnson, Isiah Thomas...

The Montana 49ers offense was a machine in their hey day.

The Montana 49ers offense was a machine in their hey day.

The Cowboys with Randy White at QB was also at par with them.
