A perfect season would make Patriots best ever

As unfair as it is to ask the New England Patriots to do more than they already have, they could provide one very valuable gift to NFL fans everywhere if they do indeed go 19-0.They would end all argument.
Don Shula already has conceded the Patriots would surpass his 17-0 Miami Dolphins as Greatest Team Ever. But that assumes everyone agrees with Shula's understandably high opinion of the only undefeated, untied championship team in NFL history. To Shula's consternation, not everybody equates perfection with best. Although the 17-0 Dolphins obviously have earned a special place in history, they didn't automatically eliminate dispute.

Well, the good thing is it would shut those Dolphins up once and for all.
The bad thing is, we would have to listen to the Patriots and especially certain Patriot fans from here on in.

That would be the downside.

Yeah, but it would be nice to finally have two unbeaten teams. You could always use one to counter the arguments of the other's fans.

Two unbeaten teams would be nice. But just think about it Lefty. Think about LSC and simon and how they will be going on and on and on and on, etc.
You will never be able to counter it because the Pats will have won more games.

Re: A perfect season would make Patriots best ever

Steelers 1978 defeating the 1978 Cowboys in the Super Bowl XXIII is possibly the best team ever...just take a roll call on the number of Hall of Fame and Pro Bowl players on those two teams...I doubt the Patriots will ever match the number of great players on those teams...

I would rank the 1971 Cowboys next in line...they took out the 1971 Dolphins right before they went big, and did it 24-3...the core of the Dolphin team had started to come together and Dallas destroyed them
