The 86 Giants were a better team than either Pats SB winner.

Simms vs Brady? I'll take Simms. Joe Morris was a better RB than anyone the Pats had last year. Mark Bavaro at TE, Lionel Manuel at WR, altho the Pats had better depth at WR. O-line? Both pretty good.

SB results? Edging a decent, but not spectacular, Carolina Panthers' team as opposed to blowing out the Elway-led Broncos? You gotta be kidding me.

BTW--we were also 14-2 during the regular season, and our losses were by 3 at Dallas in the opening game of the year, and by 5 at Seattle. We demolished the Niners 49-3 in the opening playoff, shut down Washington 17-0 in the NFC Championship and clobbered the Broncos 39-20 after falling behind 12-7 early in the SB.

The only team that ever had 4 better linebackers than Taylor, Carson, Kelly and Hunt were the 1990 Giants with Banks taking Hunt's place.
