The hypothetical thread made me think about this again. I dont worry about the 19-0 loss because that team wasnt as good as the 2004 team anyway. A fluke loss on monday night in Miami and the loss to an excellent Steelers team in Pittsburgh without Corey Dillon after winning 21 straight wins and due for a loss was all that seperated that team from perfection. This was the most dominant Patriots team, it didnt rely solely on Brady throwing for 400 yards, it had the best one season running back we ever had, and that postseason was epic. The signature game of the dynasty, beating the Colts 20-3. Then destroying the top defensive team in football in Pittsburgh. Then beating a really good Eagles team. 2004 they were everything i could ever ask for in a football team, talented, full of heart, clutch. The greatest Patriots team ever.

.....Okay?

The final 2 minutes of Superbowl 42 were still the most Soulcrushing string of plays that i have ever witnessed or will ever witness, there is nothing i ever wanted more than a perfect season after Spygate and a dopey looking quarterback and a 5th string receiver with glue on his helmet took it all away.

Colts #1 O to 3 points
Steelers #1 D allowing 41.
In the playoffs.

Sick. Brady as the QB + a power running game and a tough,smart veteran D. That's a team that could beat anybody.

I don't even know why I'm getting into this. How on earth did 07 rely on Brady throwing for 400 yards? The Pats that year finished 4th in total defense and 4th in points allowed. 2007 was also clutch. Off the top of my head I can think of the ravens game and the giants game which they came back late to win. Remove that series of miracles in the SB (asante dropped int, miracle catch over the hitman) and we wouldn't be having this discussion. I'd still take 07 over any team ever.

Do we really need a thread for these? Couldn't you have just kept it in the other thread?

Trying to think of Belichick vs Belichick and Brady vs Brady makes my head explode and I'm unable to come to a conclusion.

It would have been fun to see the 2007 Offense go against the 2004 Defense.
