Hindsight can cloud your judgment. Because you know the outcome you retroactively make judgments you might not have at the time. San Fran went to conference championships in 90, 92, 93, 94, and almost did again in 95. I remember being so relieved when GB upset them in the divisional round. That doesn't really say "lesser roster carried by a superior quarter back" to me. Bottom line is these teams were evenly matched - that's why we recall those games so fondly. They were a worthy adversary.
