are you on medication? the nfc is weak and no afc team
besides the pats even comes close to being dominant.
off the top of my head i can go to the mid 70's and have
pitt, oak, dallas, and anyone else being much stronger.
in the 90's when you had dall/sf; the afc was pretty weak.
1968 jets/oak vs baltimore (truly dominant) and minny.
even the year after that with kc/oak vs min

I don't think FH meant greatest in terms of the strongest teams ever. I think he meant just very good teamsd and classic rivalry matchups. Bears/Pack is one of the best rivalries in football, but haven't met in 70 years in the playoffs. It would just be a huge huge game. And then with the Patriots and the Steelers who have dominated Super Bowls over the last decade....excellent matchups indeed. But certainly there have been many times with 4 better teams.
I think you missed Fish's point in all of this, could be the 2 greatest matchups you'll ever see. As far as your comment about the NFC being weak, Green Bay might be the best team in Football. If Green Bay gets thru the elements next week in Chicago ( I assume they win today ) that game will be played in Dallas and not sure if anyone can stop them. To say the game wouldn't be competitive because NFC is weak after what they have been doing last week, would be your not paying attention
The year with the strongest four teams was 1990-91. An average record of 13-3. 49ers were a dynasy, the strongest of the Bills teams that went to four straight Super Bowls, Giants had those awesome linebackers. Free agency and such has killed any chance of something like that ever being matched again
