Thats the only argument needed

 

Last time I checked 0 losses is better than 1 loss.. K. Sweet.

 

Not really. Your argument is non-sensical and subjective. The teams played in different years, they played different teams and the teams had different season lengths. If the '85 Bears played the '72 Dolphins schedule, they probably would have run off 14 in a row too. I'm not trying to take anything away from that Dolphins team, but there are a lot of factors involved that you're ignoring just because you want to ignore them. Your argument is like that of a child--you have one decent point and nothing to back it up.

I don't need to back anything up.. its all there in front of you

 

the best TEAM of all time is the only one that went undefeated.. TEAM is the key word here, it doesn't matter if the 85 Bears individually had better players.. The 72' Dolphins TEAM went undefeated..

 

The 72' Dolphins don't make their own schedule, they don't decided to play 14 regular games, they don't have control over time -- sorry years pass and 85 came around nothing they could have done about it thats just life..

 

The greatest TEAM of all time went undefeated.. don't try to tell me teams haven't had the same luxury of getting an easy schedule.. last time I checked football was played before 72'

If it was capable of happening, who do you think would win in a game between the 1972 Dolphins and the 1985 Bears? Why did Shula say the 1973 team was better than the 1972? Isn't it better to win 18 games instead of 17?

The Bears come up all the time, too. The Dolphins come up when it's relevant -- you know, when they sit around eating cheese doodles in hopes that the last undefeated team finally loses, but that is hardly "better remembered" especially since the Bears are up all the time, too.

Thats' from just a few days ago and they frequently come up.

As soon as another team goes undefeated, the '72 Dolphins will be a footnote. The '85 Bears will always be in the discussion.

This is a great article that ESPN did a couple of years ago, ranking every super bowl participant.

 

85 Bears-#2

72 Dolphins-#7

 

The Bears were a much, much better team than the 72 Dolphins. If the Patriots go unbeaten we won't really hear of the 72 Dolphins anymore.

We all know that but I was curious if he thought so. I still wanna hear how the 2001 Mariners were the best baseball team ever. They lost the least amount of games.

 

That distinction definitely belongs to the 1906 Cubs, and not the Mariners. And I for one always hear about the 1927 Yankees before the 1906 Cubs.

You should be hearing about the 1929 Athletics. ;)

By the way -- what does Shula know about the Dolphins of 72/73? He only coached them! :D

Posted it in the NFL catch-all too but I think it fits here:

 

DON SHULA:

"I'M COACH DON SHULA AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE."

 

CHORUS

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES

TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME

YOU GOT TO GO UNDEFEATED

 

AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN

 

MERCURY MORRIS VERSE 1

PICTURE US LOSIN' TO ANOTHER TEAM WE PLAYED

WAY BACK IN THE DAY YOU SAID THE RECORD WAS MADE

WE POSTED UNDEFEATED STATS THAT NOBODY COULD MATCH

GOT PEOPLE LOOKIN' BACK AND SAYIN', "MAN, HOW'D THEY DO THAT?'

 

WELL THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE IF YOU BUSTERS JUST DO THE MATH

EVERYBODY GOT BEAT EACH TIME THEY STEPPED IN OUR PATH

YOU MIGHT SAY IT'S A FLUKE THE DOLPHINS WON EVERY GAME

SOMEBODY SHOW ME THE TEAM YOU SAY WHO'S RECORD'S THE SAME

WHAT?

 

WHEN YOU FINALLY SEE THE LIGHT AND THE TRUTH IS A MUST

THERE'S NOT ANOTHER TEAM INSIDE THE PERFECT CIRCLE BUT US

SINCE WE RAN THE TABLE ON `EM IT AIN'T BEEN THE SAME

YOU WANNA GO UNDEFEATED YOU GOT WIN EVERY GAME

 

I KNOW YOU WONDER!

 

CHORUS

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME

YOU GOT TO GO UNDEFEATED

 

IT AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

 

MERCURY MORRIS VERSE 2

I KNOW YOU WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LACE UP THE SHOES OF A

PLAYER STEPPIN' ON THE FIELD WITHOUT A THING TO LOSE

THE BUSTERS POSIN' UP THE VIEW ON ESPN, ASKIN' ME THAT STUPID QUESTION,

"YOU THINK THEY'LL DO IT AGAIN?"

 

ONCE AGAIN I'M HOLDIN' SCHOOL ABOUT THE THOUGHT OF DEFEAT

I GOT NO LOSSES ON MY TABLE SO YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SEAT

MY PERFECT HISTORY WILL TELL YOU THAT THE RECORD'S COMPLETE

STAND UP! YOU BUSTER'S PLAYIN' IF YOU TASTED DEFEAT

EVERY YEAR THEY TRY TO BUST OUT TRYIN' TO CAPTURE THE CROWN

I BEEN TRYIN' TO TELL YOU BUSTERS, YOU CAN'T PLAY IN OUR TOWN

AND THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS STILL THE SAME

YOU WANNA GO UNDEFEATED YOU GOT TO WIN EVERY GAME

 

I KNOW YOU WONDER!

 

CHORUS

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME?

YOU GOT TO GO UNDEFEATED

OH, IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!

 

HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME?

OH, YOU GOT TO GO UNDEFEATED

IT AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!

 

MERCURY MORRIS VERSE 3

SO YOU CHALLENGE MY RECORD WITH A COMPUTER SCHEME?

USIN" NFL FILMS TO MAKE A FIELD OF DREAMS?

SO ON PAPER WE LOST TO ANOTHER TEAM?

BUT THAT WAS FANTASTY FOOTBALL, NOT THE REAL THING

 

OUR PARKIN' SPOT IS IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY'S RECORD BOOK

IF YOUR MEMORY IS HAZY, GO BACK AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK

AT THE STATS WE POSTED WHEN WE MADE THE CLIMB

TO THE TOP OF THE SPORTS WORLD, AND YOU CAN'T DENY

LOOK AT HOW MANY TIMES WE PUT UP THE CROWN

IT'S UP TO 35 YEARS AND WE'RE STILL AROUND

IT'S NOT A SECRET HOW WE DID IT, THE EQUATION'S THE SAME

 

YOU WANNA GO UNDEFEATED, YOU GOT TO WIN EVERY GAME

 

I KNOW YOU WONDER!

 

CHORUS

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME?

IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!

 

HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME?

YOU GOT TO GO UNDEFEATED!

IT AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!

 

MERCURY MORRIS VERSE 4

NOW I'M INVITIN' ALL YOU BUSTERS TO A STATE OF PERFECTION

WHERE A LOSS IN A GAME IS AUTOMATIC REJECTION

YOU WANT TO COME DOWN AND JOIN US DOWN IN MIA?

JUST LIKE CHICAGO DID IN '85, THEY CAME TO PLAY

BUT THEY FORGOT THE JINX WAS ON WHEN THEY STEPPED OFF IN THE ROOM

THAT'S WHEN DANNY DUMPED UP ON `EM IN THE TEMPLE OF DOOM

SHULA PSYCHED `EM OUT TO PLAY LIKE IT WAS `72

SO THE PERFECT SEASON STAYED WITH THE PERFECT CREW

 

HOW COINCIDENTAL IS IT THAT THE BEARS ONLY TEST

WOULD BE TO COME DOWN TO MIAMI TO GET THAT WEIGHT OFF THEIR CHEST?

YOU KNOW YOU THE PATH TO GOIN' UNDEFEATED IS ALWAYS THE SAME

YOU WANNA GO UNDEFEATED, YOU BETTER REMEMBER MY NAME!

 

I KNOW YOU WONDER!

 

CHORUS

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME?

IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!

 

HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO GO AND WIN EVERY GAME?

YOU GOT TO GO UNDEFEATED!

 

MERCURY MORRIS VERSE 5

NOW LET ME END THIS CONVERSATION WITH SOME FRIENDLY ADVICE

SOME THINGS THAT HAPPEN ONCE IN A LIFE, THEY WON'T HAPPEN TWICE

SO DON'T TRY TO RUN THE TABLE; CAUSE BY YOU, THAT CAN'T BE DONE

YOU SEE, THE 16 STRAIGHT IN '72, WAS JUST TO PLAY IN ONE

 

HM-HM (CHUCKLE OF IRONY)

ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, PLAYER, EXCEPT IN `72

 

CHORUS

IT AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN

 

MERCURY MORRIS VERSE 6

NOW GO ON ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

 

COACH, FLIP THAT BAD BOY OVER SO THEY CAN GRADUATE

 

That's pretty bad.
