2007 Patriots

1985 Bears

1984 49ers

1962 Packers

1978 Steelers

2004 Patriots

1954 Cleveland Browns

1994 49ers

1992 Cowboys
Great list. Saw 'em all. Sadly, don't remember 'em all that well.
Agree with all those saying that the real demarcation point will be the SB win, else sadly this team will be known as a wanna be with a fatal flaw exposed in the playoffs. My take...we win it all.

Best offense, yes. Team? The jury is still out.

The 2007 Pats just might be the best passing offense I've ever seen. The only passing games that come close are the 1989 and 1994 49ers. As for overall offenses, they're probably a notch behind them.

As for overall teams, if we're strictly going by the "through 13 games" criteria, then I'd say yes they are the best, but only because I don't remember how other contenders looked through 13 games. I remember how the other teams looked through the postseason, though. Once the Pats get to January, that's when this question needs to be asked again.

Regards,
Chris

Best I've ever seen. Easily. The 85 Bears may have given these guys a game, but I doubt it. They are ******* machines.When they're on, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing to watch.

Once again, it's a fact the Patriots are the most dominant team through 13 games by their point differential combined with their 13-0 record. If they do win out AND maintain the largest point differential, they ARE the best team ever.

If someone doesn't agree, show me how you would measure who you think is the best.
