The Patriots 21 games over the last two seasons or the Dolphins perfect season?

Personally, I think that the Dolphins streak, despite being less games, is more impressive. My reasoning for saying this is that I don't consider winning the Super Bowl and them some games to start the next season that big of a deal. Winning all 16 games in the regular season is huge, because there is no time to rest inside there. No team has ever won every single game in a given season, but many teams have won the Super Bowl and continued on to win a few the next season.

I think the Patriots streak is hella impressive, don't get me wrong. The 15-1 in last years regular season was very impressive, but it just proves that going perfect in a season is almost impossible. They are a great team, pretty much the undisputed best team in the league the past two years, and they still can't win em all.

I think the perfect season was better because that's the one which will be remembered throughout history. The Patsies streak will simply be a trivia question ten years from now, and the answer will be "the Pittsburgh Steelers" :-D

BTW, back then the reguar season wasn't 16 games.

Miami cause they did it all in 1 season. NE was impressive but it wasn't perfect like Miami.

Miami was more impressive (god I hate the Dolphins).
And as for the 2 that voted Minnysota, the most impressive thing about that team was the fact they choked in the NFC title game.

New England by far

1972 = 14 game season

Also, modern NFL = much much harder to be consistantly good than it was back in the '70s, so what the Pats did (and are likely to still keep doing) is just amazing.

And LOL @ saying a Superbowl win isn't "as important" as winning an entire season

But the argument to go with that, how come more teams didn't have the same success as the Dolphins did in that era? Its all relative.
