Don't forget the 12-4 1991 squad that lost to the Redskins in the NFC championship game. I maintain that Barry Sanders was the most entertaining player I've ever seen, and he rarely opened his mouth. Herman Moore was another eventual monster on that team, though that was his rookie year.
Oh I haven't forgotten. Absolutely humilated by the 'Skins. Ouch. Guess I was counting the two playoff wins this time around but you are correct. When push comes to shove they are in the same spot as '91 - If they somehow win or lose by less than 30, this squad has it free and clear.
Sanders was a joy to watch although he could be frustrating at times. At some point it is third and one and you need a critical first down and he can't get it for you. The documentary on him available on Prime is excellent. He looks great today - no doubt he made the right choice to retire when he did. Brain isn't addled and he can walk normally. Would hate to see him crippled like Earl Campbell.
