Also, it should be noted that the Patriots, under Bill Belichick, defeated what was pretty much the exact same Rams team in the Super Bowl two years after they set those offensive records.
Thats To logical......Besides this gives them something to write about, just compiling a list of the top offenses in order would be to easy and non contravercial.Why not just go with offensive points scored per game and keep it objective?
Thats To logical......
Using Super Bowl wins as a requirement for compiling this list is idiotic. Using similar logic, Karl Malone and Charles Barkley are not among the greatest all-time power forwards in the NBA, and a whole host of players from all sorts of leagues need to be kicked out of the respective Halls Of Fame.
I think NFL.com is in need of a new intern. ALL those stats listed for the Patriots are completely wrong. It's probably not the intern's fault though. They should investigate Marshall Faulk's whereabouts when that piece was being put together. Here are the stats NFL.com listed for the Patriots. 358.7 yards per game 28.1 pts per game 54 TD's Here are the actual stats the Patriots achieved. 411.3 yards per game 36.8 pts per game (NFL record 589 total) 75 TD's (NFL record) I expect this type of oversight from ESPN but I expect better from the NFL's own network.
Well, you might have a point with Malone.
Malone probably gets his ring if the officials don't let Jordan get away with what was probably the most blatant offensive foul in NBA history.
Which one of you has the ESPN name "Pyper"? 2nd comment on this item posted:

Actually, to be even more logical and objective, we could take defense out of the equation and rank offenses based upon points scored per minute they possessed the ball, and base it only on regular season games.

Anybody who rates the Patriots 07 offense below no.1 has an ulterior motive.
Malone is a good example for my argument, not yours. Malone may be #2 all time in points scored, but I'm not sure he'd make most people's lists of top 3 power forwards of all time.
Not true. I'd understand your position/perspective if before 2007 you also truly thought Peyton Manning was a better QB than Tom Brady, because you put lots of emphasis on stats. However, stats aren't everything, and there were plenty of fans on this site would argued pre-2007 a solid case for why Brady was a better QB than Manning. Same thing applies to a list for all time offenses.
An NFL team's offense's job is to score points. The more effective they are, the more they score.
It's the same argument for players. It's the player's job to score and defend in basketball, or to execute and accumulate offensive or defensive stats in football.
Just because we're talking about offensive units instead of individual players, doesn't change the issue for some that stats shouldn't be the main or only determinant of who was the best all time.
Karl Malone was the highest scoring power forward of all time, great defensively and had many 1st all NBA selections, it doesn't mean he's the best power forward of all time. The 07 Pats offense put up monster stats but nobody is going to remember them decades from now, they're going to be forgotten like the Moss Vikings offense and the 01 Rams offense.
