very streaky

miami and steelers usually had half-way decent teams, but barely ever made any kind of real splash. steelers made the superbowl once, but that was by far their best season of the 90's.

Cowboys and 49ers easily hogged most of the talent.

the Bills dominated the AFC for a few years.

the fins were usually somewhere in the wildcard mix, mostly because of marino.

the lions were usually making a playoff run, only to get creamed in the first round.

then you had teams like the giants, eagles, packers, chiefs, and some others who would usually be someone's division-round whipping boy.

but all these teams were mostly filled with a few guys you knew and the rest: no-names.

the cowboys and 49ers truly hogged all the stardom.

nostalgia aside, i can easily say this is a much more competetive and exciting era in the NFL.
