Thanks Steelers fan ... A Bengals or Bills matchup with Chicago or Minn would be interesting. Seeing Singletary butt heads with Woods would be fun but I feel James Brooks would have been more a factor against the Bears. With Boomer's arm being bad, could the running game and defense gotten it done against the Bears defense? Hard to tell but I am sure the Bengals defense--with or without Krumrie--would have kept the score pretty low against Jimmy Mac, with Neal Anderson having his chance to shine.

I believe the Bills could have beaten Chicago had they gotten by Cincy, but a tougher game against the Vikings. I feel the Vikings, had they gotten by Chicago, could have beaten the Bills or Bengals in close games with AC and their pass rush. Could Wade Wilson avoid mistakes, however?

Who do you think wins the Super Bowl then: 1988 Vikings or Bengals?
That year, I would give the edge to the Bengals. The Vikes had a talented team, but Wade Wilson wasn't a great QB, and they didn't have a consistent ground attack.
Perhaps Eddie hires a totally different HC from the outside who would be allowed to pick his very own staff.
After their SB XXIII win over the Bengals, Eddie wanted to replace Walsh with Jimmy Johnson. That's a huge "what if".
