Re: Dolphins 72 perfect season on CBS right now
And who was on that panel...Chris "fatboy, Im a Bill and 49er lover" Berman?? The other site is far more legit, I don't see the ESPN getting any national, recognition for their opinions, The America's Game series was on CBS and dedicated an entire televised series counting down the best teams, not some obscure web page. How many of the 6 teames ranked above Miami had gone undefeated through the whole season, but still had to play their conference Championship game on the road??? No one, but the Dolphins, in Pittsburgh a week after the "immaculate reception"!. There is a reason only one team has ever done what Miami's done.Originally posted by MikeInRochComment

Re: Dolphins 72 perfect season on CBS right now
While it is true that most of the teams ahead of the Dolphins on the ESPN list would have had trouble beating them, given the refs record of giving the Dolphins all the calls - those other teams were better teams. Just don't expect the NFL to admit they were making sure they won for Shula."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'.

Re: Dolphins 72 perfect season on CBS right now
Since when does the schedule matter?? They still had to play the games, and doesn't playing your backup QB all year count for anything?? Or Playing your playoff games on the road even though you had a better record?? You can't just look at the advantages Miami may have had when there were just as many disadvantages.Originally posted by kgun12Cause there schedule was weak and they only played 14 games!

Miami also shut down the Redskins rushing attack which was number 1 in the NFL that year. Miami also had the #1 Offense and #1 Defense in the league, Miami's the only team in History to hold that honor as a SB winner to this day.Comment

Re: Dolphins 72 perfect season on CBS right now
Do you really any other argument. I don't think anyone will argue that it was an accomplishment. But, is it really wrong to think that there were better Super Bowl teams? I mean, if a team loses a game or two during the season, why are the Dolphins better? Because they didn't lose a game during the season. I think there are teams that are better than the Dolphins. If you think they are the best ever then that is great, you have an opinion. If guys over here think they aren't the best ever, guess what, they have an opinion also, get over it. I think there are teams that were better. I will pick a team, the '84 49ers who lost one game.
They lost to a 9-7 Steelers team that year. That is all. The only other game that was even close was that they lost by 3 to the Rams on the last game of the year.
They were second in the league with 475 points for. The team higher than that was the Dolphins who they crushed in the Super Bowl. Their defense gave up 227 points, the next closest team to that was the Broncos who gave up 241.
They had a total of 6544 yards of offense. That was an average of 409 yards per game. They gave up 5539 for an average of 346.
Miami had a total of 5195 yards for an average of 371 yards but the defense gave up 3577 for an average of 256.
The 49ers sent 10 players to the Pro Bowl in 1984, the Dolphins sent 9.
In the playoffs the Dolphins won close games in all, winning by 6, 4, and 7.
The 49ers won by 11, 23, and 22.
What else do you want. If you think the Dolphins are the greatest team ever so be it. I don't think they are, nor do a majority of people outside of Miami.Comment
