In 1990 we were a game away from the NFC Championship -- we had a veteran team with a future HOF head coach, and the Giants were aging and without Bill Parcells. Yes, the Bills were obviously getting some well deserved hype. Ditto the 49ers who were in the midst of a dynasty.
Either way, it just isn't true that "NO ONE" was talking about us.

Yeah I recall the Skins being a preseason pick by some mags to win it all. They didn't exactly come out of nowhere.
