Although I was very glad the Patriots got beat last night, it pains me to know that the 1972 Miami Dolphins are still the only undefeated championship team in the history of the NFL.
So, if you were to build a time machine and use it so that the 2008 New England Patriots could play the 1972 Dolphins on a neutral field, who would win the game??

Some people are like slinkies; they're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Now, going by that mentality Jake, would you say that pretty much ANY team in today's NFL would have a damn good chance at beating the 72 Dolphins??

Well maybe not all of them but I'd bet at least 20 out of the 32 could.
You also have to factor in the fact that offensive schemes of the 70's are nowhere near as complex as today's. Do you think Miami's D could stop a five-wide set?

The Dolphins are still the only undefeated team, but they had a cake schedule that year. I think that there were only 2 teams with winning records that Miami beat that season. It's hard to compare teams from different eras.

Got this from ESPN....
The biggest negative on the '72 Dolphins' résumé is the strength, or lack thereof, of their schedule. While it's true that they could only play who was scheduled, it's also true that with an opponents' winning percentage of .396, the Dolphins' schedule was one of the easiest since 1950.
How easy? Basically, 99 percent of the teams since 1950 had a more difficult season schedule than the 1972 Dolphins. That is a very easy schedule.

The Patriots would unleash holy hell upon the very unfortunate Dolphins. Would be cool to pake them play with all the anger of their Superbowl loss. There would be beached Dolphins in the sidelines holding on for dear life. It would not even be close.
The aftermath would look something like this:
