I think a lot of people think that thus the reasons I posted these numbers

72 dolphins were great and everything but if New England goes 16-0 and wins the Superbowl, I think NE hands down is the best team ever.

And that's why I wouldn't call NE the best team ever. I'd say they had one of if not the best seasons ever but I wouldn't call them the best team of all time. I just can't put them past the 85 Bears, any of a few of my 70's Steelers or any of a few of the Dallas, San Fran or Green Bay teams of the past either. I don't know if I'd even put them ahead of last year's Colts team who may still knock off NE this season anyway.

I'll remember NE for 4 things: being the AFC sacrifice to the '85 Bears, the snow plow game, the tuck rule and spygate.
Good luck NE*

LOL.....that should make the Patriots even more impressive.

Teams know they are going to pass.....but are still unable to stop them.
