Some article i was reading mentioned the '72 team prefers a team to get a little further into the season undefeated, just to raise awareness of the perfect season. When it's like this, i'm sure the party is pretty lame over at Shula's place. "Meh, 4-1" Still, 17-0 baby, Go Phins.
I love people who overlook the 17-0 Perfect season as they had less games, not realizing they had to win Playoffs game on the Road, in Pittsburgh non the less after the Immaculate Reception, which gave Pit momentum. They probably felt like they were destined to win the super bowl after that
People can overlook it all they want, but it doesn't matter. Its not about the total number of wins its about the total season. No one's done that except us. No one will.
Because that's just the way it was back then. Home field was determined on a rotational basis. They didn't go to a seeding system until '75. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972%E2%80%9373_NFL_playoffs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_playoffs
Its not the number of games that people talk about when they refer to the undefeated season not meaning much, the chief complaint is always how weak the Dolphins schedule was that season.
