I dont think we can conclude jack shit whether or not the cowboy/niners could compete because no one knows. Ask a high school coach? I didnt know high school coaches were the key to the wonders of the football world. Have kids gotten bigger? By a huge amount. Faster? Maybe a little bit, Deion in 95 ran a 4.29 in training camp, last time i checked only Ginn and Hall can run that right now consistently. Smarter? very doubtful, Neil O' Donnell for the steelers was horrible but played because he was a damn smart qb. All in all I do believe it has gotten harder but to say those elite teams of all time can't compete is stupid, nobody knows whether or not they can compete because it wont ever happen.
Patriots vs. America's team

Obviously athletes get bigger and stronger as time goes on, and coaches have a greater history to look back on and learn different things about the game, but to say that teams from only 10 years ago couldn't compete with the current teams I think is a stretch. At least when you're talking about the elite teams from 10 years ago.
You don't think the 95 Cowboys or 94 9ers could hang with the best teams of today? There's no doubt in my mind they'd give them all they could handle and more. Their offense linemen were huge, they had great QB's, great WR's, and RB's, and hard nosed hard hitting defenses that I'd put up against any offense of today.
not only that but you cant beat the 95' cowboys when they were on crack...i think all of them were. :rockon:
there was an article about this a year ago on which powerhouse dynasty would win the pats or boys.
they took a poll nation wide AND had writers all over the nation respond, and the cowboys won by a landslide.
Correction sir. Cowboys have a banged up secondary. Terence Newman is not at 100%, #2 corner Anthony Henry is out and may not play vs New England with a high ankle sprain. Ken Hamlin has been a surprise imo, and he has certainly helped roy williams alot.
On that pic T-New had i was like run faster your fast as hell and then i remembered his foot problem, if he would have been 100% he would have taken it to the house. Yeah and Henry leads the league in picks still i think.
I cant believe the cowgirls are beating the Pats in this poll!
How many people actually watch football?
How many people actually watch football?
yea, thats like saying that barry sanders wouldnt be able to hang with the running backs of today, or micheal irvin couldnt hang with the top wide recievers of today. my ass.
yep, thats their only major weak spot. well, besides their horrible special teams work(besides that onsides and nick folk). they need to get joe avezzano back as the special teams coach.
we all know that moss is the go to guy in new england right now, so maybe the cowboys will stick pat watkins on him since watkins is 6'5. as long as he can hang with moss on the routes, he should be able to knock away some catches. but thats the question, could watkins hang with moss.
im willing to bet they will stick Newman and sometimes a Saftey on Moss.
hoepfully not roy williams. i love watching the guy play, but he just plain cant cover wide recievers downfield, let alone someone as fast as moss!
popularity rules in polls bud. Last time i checked the cowboys are the most recognized organization.
it will never be, but i really wish they would implent him as a LB in some plays. Maybe help out and give ellis a break.
True.
But in the past 8 years the pats have grown in popularity because of there championships as well. Just not as much apparently.
yeah they really have grown along with the colts and bolts.
a few weeks ago yahoo news had a list of the most popular teams. last year it was the bears(go figure, everyone is a bandwagoner), this year they dropped to 4th(i think it was) and cowboys are #1. colts were #2 last year and this year.
Cowboys have pretty good depth at LB, Roy Williams would be an undersized Lb. Cowboys have Bradie James, Akin Ayedele, Greg Ellis, D Ware, dont forget about Bobby Carpenter and Anthony Spencer who has been playing really well.
Wow, the poll is 50/50 so far. I'm going for the Patriots this game.
omg....dude this story came up early this week on Fox Sports Radio....So since we are on the topic of the Pats and how good they are playing I thought I would bring it up...
