Who was better 1972 Dolphins or 2009 Saints

TheOak · 08-16-2013, 10:33 AM

In order to validate the answer the 2009 Saints would have to play all of the 1972 Dolphin's opponents and vice versa accounting for injuries as specific positions..... As one game does not define a better of two teams. All a head up match does is show the delta between offense and defense. EG you are not comparing a Brees offense to a Marino offense, you are comparing a Brees offense to the Dolphins defense.

The two teams head up is apples and oranges.

Marino? Marino was 12 years old in 1972. I get that you are trying to be a buzzkill on the original poster and take a very "smart" and analytical, Mr. Peabody type approach, but bringing Marino into it makes no sense.
