What a great question! I don't know the answer but here is my $.02's worth:
The greatest offensive team ever was the 1940 Chicago Bears who beat the Redskins 73-0 IN Washington! They then went on to play in the NFL Championship game 4 consecutive years outscoring their opponents 157-43 while winning the title 3 of 4 times losing only to the Redskins (Played again in Washington) 14-6 after going11-0 in the regular season in 1942 (equivocating the Patriots undefeated team and season of 2007-8). You have to admit it is hard to beat that!

All these teams are post-merger, but what about the 45 years before then? I would have to mention the 1932 Bears, the ones who still hold the record for most points scored in a game with 72.
Modern era, however, we can look at of course the 07 pats, the greatest show on turf, Manning's Colts, but those were all PASSING teams. What about the run game? What about the Chiefs with the Holmes-Johnson offense (pre-injury of course), the ones who started the trend of the 2-back offense. Or the 80's Bears, with Payton, or Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys, argueably the most balanced offense of all time. All of these were great offenses for different reasons. So why must we limit ourselves to passing offenses? where's the respect for the run game and the o-line?

In recent memory, there's obviously the '07 Patriots - but it's hard to argue with any of these (especially the '07 Giants, eh?) There's a website with a lot of different categories for ranking teams, athletes, and coaches - www.ultimatesportsrankings.com.

I think those Walsh-Montana-Rice 49ers teams were the hardest teams to stop from scoring. Whether they set all the scoring records or not, they were the clutch offense that carried their team.

Culpepper was/is overrated.
I wasn't putting the Vikings as a team down pjd. I was simply pointing out that in Collins defense, at his best he was better than what many teams have had over the last several years.

Kerry Collins was a top 5 QB in his sober years on the teams he played for that had a remotely decent O-line.
That Superbowl was tragic, but the subsequent season following was worse.
I'd take Kerry Collins in his prime over Romo, Eli, and [hl=purple]anybody that has been QB of the Vikings since Cunningham was done.:p[/quote]
[/hl] wow,,other than Culpepper and Brad Johnson,,in which Culpepper did have some good years there,,,this is not surprising,,I know that has been a huge problem for Minnesota,,and it still is,I don't try braggin up my team when I know they got a ways to go yet,,but they are getting there,they are moving up,,and with that I am well pleased

The best offensive team in NFL history had to be any one of a number of '70s and '80s Raiders teams. The Raiders were really offensive to most people that weren't Raider fans, and they did it while winning a lot. ;)
The best NFL Offense ever was any one of three different 49ers Offenses under Walsh and Montana. No "unbreakable" records were set, but what was established was an Offense that could score virtually at-will when it mattered. It won Playoff games and Superbowls alike for them, and gave them what was arguably the most successful decade (reg. season win%, Playoff wins, & Superbowl wins) since the inception of the Superbowl, especially considering they played in the dominant conference (NFC) of the decade against some the most dominant defenses the NFL has yet seen. Not only did they have the crunch time scoring ability, but they could both speed things up when they needed to, or chew up time on the clock. There has never been a team that presented those qualities on the level that those 49ers teams did.
With that QB, those O-lines, those receiver crews, and the running crews they had - I don't even consider it a debate. Those teams were so good that every team in the NFL spent the next decade and a half trying to catch that same magic by trying to immitate them. (Unfortunately for Cowboys haters the Cowboys did successfully immitate them, for the most part, and we saw what happened with that.)
