Since Scottie already posted all of my other points for me, I'll just take this one.
You should really consider that the 2007 Patriots not only set just about every statistical record for NFL offenses, but they were also 18-0 (best record in NFL history) and were one miracle catch away from winning that Super Bowl and finishing the season undefeated. In other words, what you're essentially saying is that the Pats would have to have been the best team in NFL history in order to surpass the Rams.
As far as the statistics go, we overpower the 1999 Rams easily...
2007 Patriots:
1. 589 points scored.
2. 6,580 total yards.
3. 67 touchdowns scored.
4. Passing - 4,731 yards; 50 TDs; 9 INTs.
5. Rushing - 1,849 yards; 17 TDs.
1999 Rams:
1. 526 points scored.
2. 6,412 total yards.
3. 55 touchdowns scored.
4. Passing - 4,353 yards; 42 TDs; 15 INTs.
5. Rushing - 2,059 yards; 13 TDs.
Did they actually screw up the stats in order to make martz and faulk happy??? That's pretty amazing.
Can't believe nobody has mentioned the dome factor. Remember all the bad weather home games down the stretch in december....definitely slowed them down. imagine what they could've done in a dome that year!!! In November they were on pace to set some cartoonish records.
