[/QUOTE]My father is in his 70s, he swears the 76 team was one of the best teams in patriots history. I did some research and watched some film on the 76 patriots. Their record that year very impressive. Going into Pittsburgh and winning, blowing out the 13-1 Oakland raiders...pats had a great rushing attack that year. No doubt they would have knocked off Minnesota in the super bowl if they didn't get robbed on the sugar bear Hamilton call
Grogan was awesome and both the 76 and 78 teams were awesome. They ran the Perkins Erhart Offense which is the pre-cursor to what they run today. 76 was better than the 2001 team for sure.
