Best I've ever seen... So far. If we don't win the SB, then those '01, '03, '04 teams are better... Gotta win the SB...
Well, I think this is the best offense ever. I don't think the defense ranks in the top 5 or even 10 of all time, though. That said, the defense is solid and with the offense like it is... that still adds up to the best team ever. I can't think of a team that I feel like would beat them if they played some kind of best ever grudge match.
Near impossible to compare teams from multiple decades apart. For example, in the 50s, really big linemen weighed 240 - 250, fast running backs were almost non-existent, the rules were very different, etc. Hope my order below holds up through 19 games.
2007 Patriots
1985 Bears
1984 49ers
1962 Packers
1978 Steelers
2004 Patriots
1954 Cleveland Browns
1994 49ers
1992 Cowboys

Best offense, yes. Team? The jury is still out.Is this patriots team, over the first 13 games, the best team you have ever seen? I don't mean best ever, best YOU have ever seen. If not, who is?
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.
