....that's all I have to say about that great game.

One of the best! I lover the underdog. What are the odds of brothers winning back to back Super Bowls like that?
Yes, the catch with one hand on the ball and the ball pressed against his helmet was incredible. I couldn't believe he didn't drop that pass.
Definitely one of the best games ever; it's a shame one of them had to lose.
Only downside is the that the stinkin' 72 dolphins will be talking smack for another 20 years.

That team really was a pretty cool team. I don't think much of their celebrating losses, though I have the impression that's just a few of the guys.
Being the only perfect team ever is impressive. My big gripe is when people argue that makes them inarguably the best team ever. I don't think I'd even put them in the top 5. They really benefitted from a poor schedule. Good running team though they were, they were a team quarterbacked by Earl Morrall of all people.
I am very happy we don't get to listen to 19-0 for the next 3 weeks! The best thing was watching it with a bandwagon pats fan in the same room. Those Louisiana boys sure know how to win Super Bowls!
I've never felt strongly either way about the 72 Dolphins, but after listening to Mercury Morris all season I was actually kind of hoping the Pats would win. The Dolphins are way down on my list of best teams, they played one of the easiest schedules in NFL history (opponents had a combined winning percentage under .400). They beat the pre-dynasty Steelers in the AFC title game by only four points, 21-17, and were underdogs in the Super Bowl against the Redskins, winning 14-7. I'd say the 2000's Patriots, 70's Steelers, 80's 49ers, 60's Packers, 85 Bears, and even the 99 Rams were all better teams than the 72 Dolphins. The early 90's Bills were probably better too, even though they never won a Super Bowl.

I agree Tulsa. These teams were all better than those Dolphins.
I think the Steelers probably had the best dynasty, but for one year I think the 85 Bears were the best team ever. I know all about the Steel Curtain and Doomsday and blah, blah, blah but that Bears defense was the best ever. They obliterated teams. In my book Walter Payton was the greatest all around RB ever to play. Hard nosed running, never ran out of bounds, bone crushing blocks, led the team in receiving, threw td passes, you name it. I'd put that team against anyone. And on top of all that they were fun to watch. They had too much ego to sustain it though. The Steelers were more of a team which is why they had the best team over the longest period of time.
If you consider the salary cap though, what the Patriots have done/and are doing is nothing short of amazing. The salary cap makes an enormous difference.
