19 -0 in the NFL =
 
What in a baseball season?

Taking into consideration the physical demands on the O-Line, D-Line, RB's, WR's, DB's, QB's, in a one game basis. Now compare that to the physical demands on a 1st base man, 2nd base man, outfielder, pitcher, catcher, etc.

What would equal a 19 - 0 season in the NFL in MLB?

Are 3 baseball games equal to 1 football game? Are 5 baseball games equal to 1 football game?

If a MLB team went 50 - 0 to start the season, would it equal what the Patriots might accomplish at 19 - 0?

The longest winning streaks in the major leagues since 1900:
Year Team League Wins
1916 NYG NL 26*
1935 ChC NL 21
2002 Oak. AL 20
1906 ChW AL 19*
1947 NYY AL 19
* Had a tie game during their winning streak

It looks like going 19-0 in MLB is quite the feat!

I do want to point out something that may not be considered by some of you. In baseball, there is a 5 man (4 man in some of those early streaks) so think of it this way: could the Patriots go 19-0 with a Cassell, Brady, Gutierrez rotation?.....Didn't think so.

Ya but like I said, how many baseball games equal the physical demand of 1 football game. Injuries are key in any sport. The more physical the game, the higher the injury rate.

Maybe going undefeated in the playoffs? The only way anything in baseball could be comparable is if it included a World championship, just as this season only means anything with a world championship.

That is a small detail in the physical sport that is the NFL. Brady could be injured on each and every snap. I am not saying one sport is better than the other. I am only trying to figure out what record in MLB would equal 19 - 0 in the NFL.

True, but the opposing teams would be rotating too. Its really just 2 totally different sports. Apples and oranges.

Depends if your the catcher or not. Plus so much hinges on the starting pitcher, it's less a team feat than a matchup streak. If you're talking win streaks, then I suppose it should only happen once or twice in baseball history, like the NFL, so somewhere around 30 wins in a row. If you're talking season, Seattle won 116 in 2001 (I think) so I guess 120 wins in a season would be that rough equivalent, then sweeping the entire playoffs.
