Who was better 1972 Dolphins or 2009 Saints

SloMotion · 08-16-2013, 02:32 PM

The biggest gig on the '72 Dolphins has always been the strength-of-schedule the played that season, but they only lost something like 5 or 6 games from '71 - '73, won two-out-of-three SuperBowls and had some ungodly winning streaks, so it can't be all that ... that team was stacked top-to-bottom with HOF'ers.

Break 'em down vs the '09 Saints? IDK, I think the '09 Saints win in a head-to-head matchup just on the how the game has changed and played today, but if you consider each team in their own era, then I give the edge to the '72 Dolphins.

QB: Brees edges Griese in this one just because he's Drew Brees ... but Griese was no slouch (Earl Morrall either) ... '09 Saints

Offense: Both teams had a great running game and receivers ... TIE

Defense: I got to give it to the "No-Name" defense, though it's debatable if they could have withstood the passing onslaughts of today's game ... '72 Dolphins.

Special Teams: Who can forget Garo Ypremium attempting a forward pass? ... TIE

Steakhouses: Don Shula, '72 Dolphins
