Dolphins worst NFL team ever?

How many are there?

 

I agreed with Simon that they're not the worst, but they're definitely among the worst.

 

I truly have no idea what you're talking about here.

I am saying the Dolphins belong on the short list of worst teams ever if they go 0-16. Yes, the 17-0 Dolphins belong on the short list of best teams ever. thats how these things work.

That you are arguing the '07 Dolphins somehow don't belong in the discussion because they try hard and have come close to winning six times is hilarious...and on a level of blind fanboidom (sp) typically only seen in these parts out of Steelers fanbois (and I am NOT referring to Oz here, let's be clear).

 

That's utterly disingenuous. A lie by you.

You do not believe that. Very disappointing you would sink to that.

 

What, you don't think they belong up there?

Yeah, I know all about the weakened schedule and the number of close calls the Dolphins had in 1972. Fact remains they are the only perfect team in NFL history. They're on the short list, even if I would take any number of subsequent dynastic teams ahead of them (late '70s era Steelers, '80s Niners, '90s Cowboys, '00s Pats).

 

LOL... doesn't sound like your list is very short.

Like I said.

 

The question remains: How are they not one of the worst teams in league history? And by which metric?

 

not as short as my list of worst teams ever. which includes two teams.

And the NFL has been around 80 years. A list of "greatest teams of all-time" that includes five teams is indeed pretty short.

 

Goddamnit, read the previous posts please.

By scoring margin...

By loss margin (which is the same on a winless team). ...

By skill level. ...

There is no team, not one, that is within 100 miles of the 1976 Buccaneers team.

I went to three home games that year. That imagery is indelible.

The only metric by which they would be better than a 16-loss Dolphins is number of losses without a win. The only one.

 

How about the '07 Dolphins as one of the five worst teams ever? Assuming, of course, they go winless?

 

Of course that has to be the case. Very difficult to mix a team with a win into the mix and put them behind a winless team.
