They were very good. But it’s hard to see them beating Elway in Denver had Jax not done it first.
That's a fair statement.

I'd rank the 2007 team lower. Saw what Troy Brown said last week following the Jags win, how it was the worst week of practice he's seen IN HIS LIFE. Sounds like they got too ****y and couldn't close the deal. You don't get points for blowing out Buffalo in October. I hear Dan Duquette in my head "More days in first place." You need to close the deal to be #1.
I'd put the 2004 team #1.
@jimnance "wrong"
07 was still smacking teams at the end.. Steelers. Dolphins.. etc. GOAT team NFL, easyI think the 07 team is very overrated for what they did from September through November. But they were very ordinary in December and January. The 03, 04, and even 2014 teams got better as the season got to the home stretch. Not so for the 07 team.
I don't know how anyone could'v felt 100 percent confident after a very shaky win over two ordinary teams in Jax & SD. Furthermore, the Giants were getting hot and clicking on all cylinders. The signs were there that the Giants could win that SB. But many, including me, were blinded by the offensive explosion between said months of Sep to Nov.

2007 18-1 (Done only three times before -- SB lost on fluke)2004 Pats were the best of the bunch. I'd argue that the 2014 Patriots were also top 3. Very balanced teams. 2014 was a pretty healthy group with both a great offense and great defense.
Got to give a lot of credit to the 2016 & 2017 teams though. I have never seen a group as mentally tough as these guys. Never out of a game. They seem to make the impossible happen. Hopefully 2017 team can seal the deal.

nope....to me '04 will always be number 1. in playoffs, beat number 1 offense by allowing only 3 points and beat number 1 defense while scoring 41 points and then closed out with SB win.....
I would too. I’ll say this though, that 2007 team was freaky good. They torched everyone they faced all year, the super bowl was an anomoly

No, they shouldn't have lost to the Murderers....I have always felt that the 2011 team was a bonus. They should have lost to the Ravens in the AFCCG..
‘03 Easily the best Pats’ D ever.2001 team was not better than the 2003 team.
2003 defense very underrated in this piece.
They definitely had trouble with the Ravens that year (I was at that game) and Philadelphia as well. Buffalo was the high point and things just weren’t the same afterwards.
