Overall Standings 1979-2005



guess we are not number one anymore :cry:

I think we are still #1 since the merger in 1970. I might be mistaken though, we used to be forever.

 

[Cannonboy]

3rd aint bad. I'm sure in the coming years we will move up a spot or two.

 

[hunter5nc1]

I would guess we probably still are #1 since the merger

 

[Alex44]

lol we may still be #1 all time

Not like the NFL was founded in 79

 

[csabe]

I guess they call 1979-2005 the modern game...LOL

 

[Disgustipate]

I dont know what all the reasoning is behind making it 1979-2005. That seems kind of arbitrary.

 

[whatsburning]

The only #1 I care about is at the end of every season, hoisting the trophy and gang, we ain't been there in over 30 years!

It's not arbitrary, just self-gratifying. From the article:

Want hard, quantifiable proof of the pain your NFL team has caused you since ESPN appeared in 1979? The numbers are here, with overall winning percentage, playoff appearances and Super Bowl trips.

its because 1979 was when ESPN was founded.

And yes we are still #1

It only makes sense. The Raiders were nipping at our heels after last year, but they stank this year while Miami was pretty good.

We could pass SF next year, Denver could take a few. SB zero that's gotta change!

When were they #1 since 1979? San Francisco is in the top spot by 7 games and that's including the fact that they have gone 13-35 over the last 3 years.

They're starting from when ESPN was born...at least that's what it says at the top
