but 17-0 is better than 18 and one giant loss.

How can you retain a best-jump-ever record if someone beat you?

Every year one team gets a Superbowl victory. Only one team went 18-0. Which is the rarer event?

 

[LS21]

i , for one , was not surprised at the outcome.

it just smelled like USC 2005 all over again. media loves to prematurely crown a darling.

This thread is necessary.

If you're just talking games won in a row, the patriots already have that record. I believe it was between 2003-2004, they won something like 23 straight.

But for a single season, the simple fact remains that they didn't win the Superbowl. Maybe if the 1972 season were 16 games, those Dolphins would have went 19-0. Doesn't matter, they won every game that year including the Superbowl.

QFMFT. This is the biggest upset of all time.

OK, maybe I should have chosen 100m sprint instead as the best jump carries to the next round.

The Dolphins beat every challenger that year and were the best team

The Patriots didn't and aren't

Second Place = First loser

Last night was one of the best nights in my years as a sports fan. Like I said before, this beats Norwood.

It might be rarer, but it is meaningless. Ask any team if they would want to be 18-0 and lose the superbowl, or 13-6 and win the superbowl. Every team would pick the record with the superbowl win.

The Super Bowl is the 1 game of the 19 the Patriots played that meant the most. The playoff games that got them to the Super Bowl are of secondary importance, followed in importance by the games played in the regular season.

They couldn't win the big one that actually meant something. That's the reason the 72 Dolphins are the team that nobody has yet matched - when it counted, they showed up. Heck, they showed up even when it didn't count as much.

It's kind of like playing poker without playing for money - it just doesn't mean anything until the big game where real money is on the line.

19-0 is better than 18-1

Hey, if anyone recorded the game and is willing to send me a DVD copy of it, I'll PayPal ya a few bucks. PM me. Thanks!

 

[IceBergSLiM]

but what if we include the pre-season match ups?

You play for championships not records. Brady would gladly give up every record he set this year for a ring.

17-0 is better than 18-1.

With the Patriots defeat at the Superbowl, their chances at a perfect season came crashing to the ground.

Just another team that went to the Superbowl...and lost.

who cares? 18-0 is just like doug flutie drop kicking a PAT. sure, both have been done only once in any year since the super bowl started, but I'll take a super bowl victory any day over either of those "rare events"
