I don't know much about football but all these guys do is win from what I hear. Didn't they win the last two or three Super Bowls (I mean, yeah, I know they won the last one. I should know, I live in Atlanta...)? And they're playing in it again this year.

The greatest team of all time wouldn't need to cheat multiple times to win games.

I guess you meant Dynasty, and I would have to say yes. This level of success in the Free agent era and in a league that legislates parity is amazing.

They're known cheaters but because they bring the NFL loads of money so they get away with it. It's one of many problems with the N.F.L organization as a whole, the games have become as fixed as Boxing.

People get so mad about the Patriots. Guys, Tom Brady will likely retire in the next one or two years. After that, the team will most certainly go downhill and another will rise in it's place. (Let's go Saints!)

I listen to Bill Burr talk about them all the time. I'm not into sports but I love hearing him talk about sports.
He loves them.

Anyone notice how the two teams in the Super Bowl this year after all the anthem protests are the two teams with "America" themes? Lol

And remember the "Bud Bowl" a few years ago where it was the teams from the two states that had legalized marijuana?

I think its between the current Pats and the 80s-early 90s 49ers. Id give it to the Pats if they didnt have multiple cheating incidents though

You seem to suggest that the Patriots NEED to cheat to win.

They most certainly don't, unless you think that properly-inflated footballs would have led to the Colts winning that game.

You say this because Green Bay has only won two titles since the 1960's.

85 Bears point differential in the regular season was 258 (72 Dolphins was 214), and in the playoffs they beat the Giants 21-0, the Rams 24-0, and the Patriots 46-10

I'm not even a Bears fan, the 85 team is the best ever tho

Still no. That Bears team was a flash in the pan - no success before or after.

I will grant you that the current Patriots dynasty is about as much a product of QB protection rules as excellent coaching, a great quarterback, and a near-bulletproof gameplan, but they have continued post-season success, which PROVES they're a better team than the 85 Bears. Hell, even Madden rates the 72 Dolphins above the 85 Bears.

No. That changes year to year talent wise. But Belichick might be the greatest coach, if sleazy as all fuck. Hes at least in a top HC discussion.

It's hard to compare eras. I think it's the niners but the cowboys, steelers, dolphins, and patriots could all make arguments.

Brady and his receivers don't have to worry about getting hit like they used to and I think that the other teams were probably better as they had to overcome that.
