Which was the greatest Super Bowl performance by a defensive unit?

[FlyVapenPikk]

Didn't answer one of my questions. This discussion was about defense. Too bad you show your ignorance. Our discourse is over. View attachment 388686View attachment 388688

Yes, ignore all context so the thread fits your narrative... for your team... for that one time 50 years ago.

Multiple TDs from Seahawks defense, holding #1 offense in league history to ONE score at the end of the 3rd quarter when it was already 36-0. The ONLY Super Bowl to start with a safety.

But cool... Steelers won 16-6 50 years ago against an average Vikings team. Your entire takeaway is yards. Yards don't win games, actual points do. All to say you never had... a point.

Keep working on your random quote memes. (Btw, I'm totally sure Mirren and Twain really give/gave a damn about the NFL.)

Don't think you should be calling a poster out for not answering your question when I asked you a very simple question and you tucked your tail and ran.

Vikings had one of the most dynamic QBs of that time & they went to 3 of 4 Superbowls in the time period the Steelers Defense dominated them to zero points scored against them.
I am ok if people want to vote for the wrong answer & there are plenty of points for picking the wrong answer.
But please quit trying to talk dumb shit like the Vikes back then were an average team.

Yup. Sure thing. Again, the Bills of the NFC. It's just a fact.

yeah.
The Bills were a bad ass team. You know what they werent. An Average team.

Ok... Bills and Vikings that made it to 4 Super Bowls, and lost all 4, were above average.

Badass team? No. Those were the teams that beat them.

So when a team goes to 3 out of 4 superbowls or 4 straight Superbowls. Means they are just above average. Got it!

The Vikings offense that year was top 5 in points & 3rd in yards.
Not sure what you got to do to be above average in your book.
But all your points fell apart.
Steelers anillated one of the top offenses that year.
The QB you think was average, when he retired led the league in most categories at that time.

For a single Superbowl game. I say this Defense is unmatched. gave up zero points to that offense. All the while the Steelers offense was struggling so the defense didnt get to play with a big lead & just pin their ears back. They just dominated all day.

& now I have to not like you now, for making me defend the fucking Pittsburgh Steelers!

This entire thread stemmed from:

"Which was the greatest Super Bowl performance by a defensive unit?"​

The question wasn't "What teams are best that haven't won the Super Bowl?"

The Bills and Vikings are both 0-4 in Super Bowl.

Regardless, you're trying to finding individual players to pull from 0-4 Super Bowl teams as justification that they were what then... worthy opponents? It's just a complete waste of time.

I am not trying to find shit.
You are making excuses like these teams were average to try & make your case stronger. Which is dumb.
Their offense were top offenses that got destroyed.
Hell all of the Bills offenses were potent offenses. Not my fault they got stuck playing against the NFC "B"east.
Still doesnt change the fact these werent weak offenses like you want to believe. This point you are trying to make. Just doesnt fly.

Hope you have a pleasant night.

Raol said that, not you. How did you take offense specifically anyway? I didn't even quote anyone.

Still though, you ain't doing yourself any favors trolling any post about Seahawks. Very desperate.

Almost like that other guy, Patriots fan, keeps bringing up their win over Rams, 13-3 like it was a massive blowout or somethin. 10 point win is the best Patriots ever did in Super Bowl... out of 6 rings? Embarrassing. Seahawks did better with point differential in their ONE SB win against the best offense in league history than Pats in all of theirs.

The thread is about defensive performance. Giving up 3 points against and SB team is dominant. Scoring a larger thread is a reflection of the offense. Seahawks win is great. But we are talking defense. You should have run it!

which is why the 71 SB defense rates higher than the Steelers 74 game.
steeler fans think I'm trolling. I don't mean to, but...

The Vikings lived off a weak division, #1 playoff slot almost yearly and only two playoff games to the dance.
The Dolphins were becoming what they became.
BOTH games were played in the 3 yards and a cloud of dust era but covered with color television.
IT WAS AWESOME.

Landry's finest defensive game plan that day when the organization was under its most pressure from their fans.
That game did wonders for Dallas Cowboy football.

We need another Tom Landry. Twenty-nine and standing strong. Go Team.

Yesterday's drubbing of the Chiefs was a good example of a defense imposing their will on a HOF QB and making him uncomfortable without having to do anything fancy or special. I'm not even going to bother with the late game "garbage" stats and points as they are completely irrelevant. It was very similar to the Seahawks and Broncos in SB48. I think this game could be added to the list. It's all subjective but who you do it against does matter to me. That doesn't take anything away from the 85 Bears, 00 Ravens and those 70s Steelers teams or the 15 Broncos. All of these teams defenses totally dominated the game.

I wouldn't put it in the same context as the Seahawks/Broncos. This year's Chiefs offense was 12th in PPG. I'd imagine thats actually below average for a SB team.

Chiefs struggled with oline and imo running the ball almost all year. Mahomes had by far his worst season although he did play well in the second half.

The game just played out similarly (at least that's what I was saying). The Chiefs offense was nowhere on the same level as that Broncos O, and (oh God, I'm about to trigger Eagles fans), the Eagles D was not on the same level as the Seahawks D that year (although very close).

But it kind of balanced out and played out the same way. It was eerily similar in the fact that:

1) Eagles didn't blitz (Seattle really didn't either),
2) Stadium seemed to be on the Eagles side (Broncos were getting mixed boos as well),
3) Pick 6
4) Basically over at halftime (Harvin's TD return really put the nail in the coffin).
5) Star runningbacks (Lynch and Barkley) did very little to impact the game. I don't think Lynch even broke 50 yards lol.

About the only different thing was giving MVP to Hurts who had basically an identical game to Wilson, when we all know it was Philly's D that dominated/won that game.

Hurts could've played with a hangover and won it. Course I tried to argue that with Eagles fans, and they just think I'm a Hurts hater and he's the best thing since pepperoni pizza... whatever.

Hurts did have 4 or 5 game changing plays. He probably had more of an impact than any individual player even if the game was won by the Eagles Dline

 

[Iggloo]

Hurts did a good job of driving the bus and not making mistakes, and yes, he made a few really nice throws. But I would have given MVP to Josh Sweat, and I can understand why he is a little salty about it because he is a free agent looking to get paid.
