I think '84 gets the aura for the defense and the near perfect record. But having bigger names at the skill positions on offense on the '89 team should yield the better team.
Plus when you think of it, the 1990 49ers were way better than the '85-'86 49ers, about as good maybe better than '87-88 except for Craig's knee. People underestimate the Giants of '90 and overestimate the 49ers of '90 when comparing the two teams....that '90 SF 49er team to be 14-2 gunning for a 3peat when you factor in the brutalness of that.....it's impressive.
Now I don't know '84 inside out.....if you COULD sell me that the '84 running game was better than '89 then that would be the main counterargument because those late '80s Giants teams found a way to F with our offense better than anyone else, and that was because they could neutralize the run and key in on Brent Jones to throw our attack off.
