Perfect Season?

[sb41champs]

During last season - the 1972 Miami Dolphins celebrated the 50th Anniversary of their 17-0 PERFECT SEASON.

 

The New England Patriots came close several years ago - but - no other team has even sniffed the "rare air" of perfection.

 

Will there ever be another NFL team to achieve a perfect season?

Forever is a long time.   I think at some point it will be broken.    But with the parity of the game today it will probably take a long time

Probably not.

I stand corrected. 

 

I'd forgotten about the 1985 Bears nearly getting there.  

 

Amazingly - their "path to perfection" was blocked by the Miami Dolphins.

Why do you gotta bring this up?

 

This just reminds us that we woulda/coulda/shoulda went undefeated if Caldwell didn’t rest his players after going 13-0!

 

Nightmares!!!

It wasn't Caldwell that sat the starters, it was Polian.

Dolphins had a pretty good 12-4 team in 1985.

That they did.

There is another NFL Florida team with a perfect season. The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers went 0-14 and they accomplished that wearing pink uniforms.

It could happen again of course and possibly soon since the NFC is currently on the.weak side.

Yes they were a bad team. Coach McCay  was asked after a dismal loss what he thought of the teams execution and he replied "I am for it".
