LLB Bobby Bel....HOF

RLB Jim Lynch

Two HOers at each level, that is a first.

Those Lombardi Packers teams had four HOfers'

Willie Davis
Ray Nitschke
Willie Wood
Herb Adderley

The Steel Curtain also had four HOFers

Mean Joe Green
Jack Ham
Jack Lambert
Mel Blount

I must be forgetting somebody, that 85 Bears team with just Mike Singeltary in the HOF, that can't be right.

i do consider that 69 team to be an historically great team and that D only second to the 85 Bears, yep, better than the Steel Curtain.

I don't think our team now is better.
