In 1990 the Giants won 13 games and the Super Bowl. The 49ers went 14-2. The Bills were in their Super Bowl run heyday. Therefore at the start of the 1991 season the prognosticators were all about those three teams, not us. We weren't getting much love.
Watch the "America's Game" episode on the '91 season. Several players talk about being under the radar. They even show a contemporaneous interview in which Rypien is asked about how the team could have gone under the radar for so long.
