Second - To consider a team that went undefeated in Pro sports let alone any level of sports is completely ridiculous. Anyone who has played competitive sports at any level can speak to the difficulty of such a feat regardless of the competition. Why do you think the saying "Played down to the competition" has been coined in sports? The fact that ONLY 2 other teams besides the Dolphins & Pats have had a perfect regular season further solidifies the Dolphin's accomplishment in history. Let alone that those two teams couldn't finish the deal for the ring. Third - In no way, shape or form was this a post dedicated to which of the undefeated teams is better head-to-head. ESPN and Bill Parcells have been doing a good job of that on Sportscenter recently.

If they win it all, they are head and shoulders over the '72 overrated Dolphins and easily the best team of all time. The '72 Dolphins had zero pressure compared to now, and they only played 2 teams that were over .500 during the regular season. The Pats by contrast beat 2 perfect teams probably a first time ever for teams with more than 5 wins. They beat the unbeaten Colts (7-0) , and the unbeaten Cowboys (5-0) Plus of course the division winning Steelers and Chargers, not to mention the Redskins, and Giants who all made the playoffs. And the 10 win Browns who should have made the playoffs. By the way is this the very first time a diving winning team has beaten 4 other division winners ?? I'd bet yes, and I'd bet the Pats had the toughest schedule ever. side by side are you crazy ?
