This is based on "opinion" and as a Ravens' fan I do not give credence to opinion much. If I did, I would expect the Ravens to lose every single game except against the Browns where they are nice enough to admit we will win.

Here is an interesting link though - proving that some people's opinion isn't even based on anything concrete. It is the "Power Rankings" based on a forumula counting winning percentage, playoff appearances and winning percentage, and SB appearances and winning percentage. Our young franchise ranks in the Top 5 here.

Only 3 of the teams on the list won the super bowl that year? Flimsy list to say the least. How can they list the '02 Bucs but not the 2000 Ravens?

Good plan ignoring other's opinions. That list makes a lot more sense....

I love how the Patriots on on there twice.

So are the Steelers. They're picking teams by year and not the decade in total.


But then it's Yahoo, the people who choose to work with Microsoft to unseat Google (snicker). How bright do you really expect them to be?

[MagicianCamille]

So basically, Patriots and Steelers.

Yahoo isn't a credible source anyway, it's just a bunch of blogs.

Ya I hate Yahoo sports writers. I only use them for e-mail.

I'm aware of that. However, when one does a "of the Decade" listing, I expect there to be variety. It's quite obvious that they couldn't come up with ten teams, so therefore just stroked New England and Pittsburgh's ego. 32 teams, and Yahoo could only come up with 8 for a ten team list.

It's funny because the 00 Ravens could've beaten any of those teams with their defense.

replace Bucs with 2000 Ravens and I'm ok with it

Righto. [img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/plus-un2.gif[/img]

I don't blame you guys for being ticked. 2000 Ravens > 2006 Colts and 2004 Eagles.

Actually, I've always felt that if Trent Dilfer started that season at QB, the Ravens probably could have gone 16-0
