I'm not sure NFL films ever said why they stopped making these episodes. I really enjoyed them. The 1998 Vikings episode was my favorite.
If they continued, I agree with a post above about the 1999 Jags with them going 15-0 vs everyone not named the titans and 0-3 against them.
Andy Reid's Eagles, Gruden's raiders, Jeff Fisher's Titans, the 2006 Chargers, could all be good episodes.
For the niners, you could do one episode for 2011-2013. Harbaugh's lasting legacy is being the Andy Reid/Marty Schottenheimer of the 2010s

Yep.......undeniable.
It's one of the most interesting paradoxes the NFL has ever seen..........3 consecutive NFC Championship game appearances (first NFC team to do it 3 times since 49ers and Cowboys 92-94), and only team maybe to do this in the salary cap era outside of the Patriots.........really hard to do, and yet no rings.
Don't think Schottenheimer or Reid went to 3 straight (maybe Eagles did early 2000s?).....
You could make a sensible non homer argument that the 49ers were the best team in the NFL from 2011-2013.......and still want to not say that because of no SBs. They were better than the Giants, Ravens, Patriots, Packers, Saints, and even Seahawks (peep their home/road splits versus common competition...don't let the CenturyLink house of horrors sway reality)....36 regular season wins plus 5 postseason wins, for total of 41 wins.....that's a clean average of 12 wins per regular season and almost 2 postseason wins per year....
It's so disappointing, which is why I'll take any future Lombardi the 49ers can get by any means necessary. In the modern NFL, it's nearly impossible to imagine how any team outside of New England can be a SB champion at all with all the luck that's needed.
