Greatest Team of All Time Bracket
-
I know this is a Browns board, but I think you have too many Browns teams listed..I'll just nail my ending now.....85 Bears kick ass all the way to the end.

Yup... that was last year's result IIRC...

I know this may be a subject more for the offseason....but, it is still just preseason, so I will do this anyway. A debate is always ongoing about what the greatest team of all time is. Well here is your chance to weigh in. I am going to do an NCAA Tournament type Bracket and allow you all to vote for your choices amongst the contestants.
I have chosen what I think are probably the 24 best teams from NFL history to compete. Of these 24 I have chose 8 to get byes. I will tell you those 8 at the end. Sixteen teams will play off in the first round....then the winners of those 16 matches will face the teams that got the first round bye.
Here are the first round matchups. You choose who you pick, by noting it somehow. After a few days, I will terminate the voting and declare the first round winner:
Round 1:
Game 1:
2007 Patriots 16-0
vs
2004 Patriots 14-2
Brady vs. Brady....2007 Pats only team in competition who did not win the title.
Game 2:
1992 Cowboys 13-3
vs.
1998 Broncos
Aikman and Smith vs. Elway and Davis
Game 3:
1991 Redskins 14-2
vs.
1989 49ers 14-2
Best of Joe Gibbs teams, vs. Bill Walsh/Joe Montana
Game 4:
1986 Giants 14-2
vs.
1976 Raiders 13-1
Parcells/LT/Simms vs. John Madden/the Snake/nasty boy defense
Game 5:
1963 Bears 11-1-2
vs.
1962 Packers 13-1
Papa Bear's last title as a coach vs. Lombardi/Starr etc. in the middle of their dynasty
Game 6:

Upstart Champions from AAFC vs. old line Champions from NFL
Game 8:
1942 Redskins 10-1
vs
1941 Bears 10-1
Sid Luckman vs. Sammy Baugh
Choose your winners. They will face the following teams:
1923 Bulldogs 11-0-1 (three year run at 28-1-4)
1929 Packers 12-0-1
1948 Browns 15-0 undefeated/untied

Woulda thrown in my vote for the 91 Skins (probably unsurprisingly). That team had everything - dominating defense, juggernaut O. IMO the best team ever. But alas, I'm too late.

Hate to tell ya, Gimp, but ESPN did this years ago with "Dream Bowl" running all the greatest teams and match-ups through the computer no less.
Guess who won?
Don't know, don't care. This is for patrons of this board to make their choices. Why didn't you make your choices?
