    1998 Broncos
    John Elway and the 1998 Broncos had a well-stocked arsenal. This offense rarley sputtered. In most games, Denver had a 14- to 21-point lead before the opposition even scored. The combination of Davis' rushing and Elway's passing created a leathal attack that shredded defenses around the league. It was a "pick your poison" when you lined up against Denver's offense. Either try to stop Davis and let Elway kill you with Shannon Sharpe, Rod Smith and Eddie MacCaffery, or stop the air attack and let Davis leave cleat marks on your front seven. Add in Jason Elam. 6,276 yds, 58 tds.

    2000 Rams
    Kurt Warner was unstoppable. Teams gave up 30 and more points and were satisfied with their performances. Warner ran the offense like no other, and Faulk was untouchable early on and in those last three games. The thing that makes these Rams better than the prior or subsequent years though, is the recklessness. With no defense there was an urgency to score all the time. The whole season can be summed up into that famous replay of Holt and Hakim running down the field talking to each other. 7,335 Yards, 63 td

    2005 USC Trojans
    USC is averaging 640 yards per game. USC is on pace for an NCAA record 8,320 yards of total offense in season. Trojans are on pace for 94 Rushing TD's. Per game record is 7.0 by Nebraska, USC is at 7.2. The NCAA record for highest average gain per play for a season is 7.9 by Army in 1945.....USC is at 8.1.

    1989 Houston Cougars
    Houston quarterback Andre Ware threw for an average of 511.3 yards per game. The team's total offense average was 624.8 yards per game. Running back Chuck Witherspoon ran the ball only 120 times, but for 1,146 yards for a 9.6-yard per carry average still an all-time NCAA single season record. They scored an amazing 53.5 points a game, and even if you take out the 95-21 win over SMU, they still would've come in at 49.4 per contest. Hazard finished with 142 catches for 1,689 yards and 22 TDs.

    1998 Vikings
    Randy Moss and the 1998 Vikings were the highest-scoring offense in NFL history. The Vikings only had two main receivers, but Moss and Carter did everything. When Carter and Moss were covered, there was always 6-foot-6 Jake Reed. And then there was Cunningham and Robert Smith. 6,428 yds, 58 tds.

    1990 Bills
    Jim Kelly's Bills were unstoppable. In 1990 the Bills switched to a no-huddle offense, and it started one of the most successful runs in NFL history. The team finished 13–3 and blew out the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Raiders 51-3 in the playoffs on their way to Super Bowl XXV. 5,484 Total Yards, 48 td's.


    1989 49ers
    Montana might be the greatest QB ever and he was having his best season. Rice, unquestionably the best receiver ever, was also at his best. John Taylor had more than 1,000 yards receiving. Roger Craig, one of the best all-around running backs ever, also in his prime. Joe Montana's Niners demolished Denver 55-10 in the 1990 Super Bowl. Jerry Rice had 17 TD receptions and nearly 1,500 yds receiving. 6550 yds and 58 tds.

    1992 Cowboys
    A Hall of Fame QB (Troy Aikman), a Hall of Fame tight end (Jay Novacek), Potential Hall of Fame linemen (Nate Newton, Mark Stepnoski, Larry Allen, Kevin Gogan). That's arguably the greatest offensive line of all-time, they made 300 pounds the "in" thing in the NFL. Plus, they had potential Hall of Fame wide receiver Micheal Irvin and of course, statistically, the greatest running back of all-time, Emmitt Smith. 5,718 and 43 tds.

    BC Lions: 1991
    Greatest CFL team in the History of the League. Doug Flutie passed for 6,619 yards and accumulated 9,117 total yards in 16 games.


    1983 Redskins
    That offense was so powerful, yet so predictable ... Grimm & Jacoby would break huddle, walk up to the line of scrimmage and say to the defenders, "Riggo is coming this way and there is nothing you can do about it. Of all the offenses listed, they're the most balanced. For their air attack, Joe Theismann threw only seven interceptions all year against 27 TDs Speedy Charlie Brown was their deep threat with Art Monk being the savvy possession guy. So close to going 16-0. Their two losses were both by one point.

    Good list, but you lose points for missing the 1993 Oilers. Warren Moon in the Run N Shoot offense with Jeffries, Slaughter, Givens, etc. was damn near unstoppable.

    The Montana to Rice combo on Tecmo was unstoppable.

    Indeed. This should be called the Greatest "Tecmo" Offense Ever.

    The Falcons offense in the year Vick was the Madden coverboy (2003?). He was the entire offense. I had games where I ran for 200 yards with him and passed for 300. he was simply unstoppable
