Just going to be quick about this because there doesn't need to be any argument about this.

1972 Miami Dolphins. Perfect season. Super Bowl title. That is all.

Agreed. You can't argue with a prefect season.

The 1972 Dolphins were not as dominant as the 1985 Chicago Bears or 1962 Green Bay Packers.

The same people who obsess on the Dolphins perfect season are the same people who believe that BB/100 is the best indicator of poker skill.

Sure you can. The dolphins played 2 fewer games.

If they had a playoff consisting of all the Super Bowl winning teams, the '72 Dolphins wouldn't even make the quarterfinals.

The 1985 CHicago bears were not as dominant as the 15-1 teams of the 70's SB champ steelers or the 1984 15-1 49ers.

The 72 Dolphins opponents had a winning percentage under .400 and I think they only played a couple of teams with a winning record. If I recall correctly, they were actually underdogs against the skins in the SB

And you base this on what?

I thought that the best the Steelers ever did in the '70's was 14-2 in '79. I live north of PGH (transplant) and they have all said that this year's 15-1 team is the most regular season wins ever. I think they only played 14 games the first two SB championship seasons.

Agreed on the '84 49ers. They were strong on both sides of the ball and McMahon, Gault, McKinnon, etc., aren't names that create fear in many defenses. But, oh that D.

Around here they say that they best Steeler's team was '76 (the year Oakland beat Minnesota). Rocky and Franco were both hurt in the AFCC game and Oakland beat them. I don't know if it is urban legend, but they say that Oakland put the score of that game on their championship ring, not the SB score vs the Vikings.
