[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Poll question: NFL: Most Dominating Defense Ever...

[Birthmark]

1. Hmm...

2. 1960 Philadelphia Eagles

Trust Me

6. With Van Brocklin at QB and Bednarik playing both sides of the ball?

Hells yeah.

[Awsi Dooger]

3. You mean the '85 Bears

Their Super Bowl win was January '86, but the '85 season

5. You're right, edited accordingly.

For single season dominance, I'd have to go either here or with the Ravens. But I voted for the Steel Curtain for ruling the 70's. L.T. somewhere in the mix...

4. 70's Vikings

Purple People Eaters

Page, Eller, Marshall and Larsen...not to mention all time Interception leader Paul Krause!!!

7. How about the Fearsome Foursome (LA Rams circa mid-60s)?

I saw them almost every Sunday growing up (late game on CBS). I always liked the LA Rams....Roman Gabrial was a great passing QB.

10. I remember Jack lambert had a bumper sticker that read ....

"I don't break for liberals" ... and this was before it was popular to be a Repuke and a guy who played at Kent State too

Randy White and Lawerance Taylor were the most dominant players in my mind (they were the stars when I was a kid, so my memories are biased) ... Jevon Kearse, when healthy, is the closest to these guys.

12. CCCleveland radio host (mr. know not much) claimed a few years ago that

Lambert really wasn't that "tough".

I'm sure that the fatass radio guy would have soiled himself if Lambert came into the station and started cussing him out . . . I'm sure Lambert has more class than that . . .
