Just because one team gets to the Super Bowl and another doesn't, in different years, doesn't mean anything.
I don't believe there was an NFC team that year as good as the Niners for instance. Just like the early to mid 90s had some great teams to overcome, therefore the championship teams from those years get in the conversation for greatest all time teams.
Also, sometimes more than record, it's how good a team is at the end of the year. This is one of he all-time great Seahawks teams with some very special story lines we may never see again. Real Rob giving an intimate picture, Young players emerging full of hope for the future, shortest starting qb in league playing at an MVP level while being a rookie, an offense free of ego, a defense who is arguably the best in the biz, and I could go on.
There were definitely better things on the 05 team (left side of line, for instance), but we are still putting up a 1500 yard runner.
Also, this team has not over achieved these past three weeks. There are lots of areas we can improve.
Is this team better than 05? I'm starting to believe it is. 05 had a great season, but this one isn't over. If we fall short of the Super Bowl, '05 will remain the greatest season, but that doesn't mean as a fan I can't compare the two.
This is personally my favorite Seahawks team of all time. The Real Rob Report's insight may have something to do with that.
