My big brother was killed in Vietnam War 1970, I was lonely 12 yr old kid in 1972 with no father or brother. But I had a big sister and her boyfriend Terry Boland decide to take me to Dolphin home games. I will always be grateful to Terry and feel it was special to see the undefeated Fins' in a time of such turmoil for me as a child. Thankyou '72 Dolphins for giving me something to smile about for the rest of my life!

@HinesXL Minnesota. Just adds salt to the wounds. Haha, I swear we are cursed. We should have a minimum 4 superbowl titles by now. I really think the Minnesota Vikings are the best franchise to never win a title.

An undefeated season is a tremendous achievement, still, the 1972 Miami Dolphins are no the best team that ever set foot on a football field. The best season record ever produced, yes, they did that....with a regular season schedule that included all of 3 teams with winning records. There were teams before them and numerous teams after them that would have beaten them.

@MrJack83124 I was born in 70 so I was to little to experience young to even remember the early or mid 70s. I have some decent memories of the late 70s Steelers as I was 8 and 9. But like you learned to appreciate things that happened long ago with my team as you did yours through highlight films and interviews.

It's really no different than being in school or college learning about a war or civilization from before we were born from professors who weren't there either.

@HinesXL wish I'd been alive at the time. I was born in 83 so I never really got to appreciate the great Miami teams.

@MrJack83124 I hate NE so thank God for that. I loved hearing Mercury Morris talk smack after the game.

You had an obvious reason to cheer for the Giants but I didn't want Belichick to tie Noll with 4 Rings or Brady to tie Bradshaw and Montana. At least Montana is from Western Pa.

70s was the golden era for sure. Miami, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Oakland, Minnesota.

@MrJack83124 I have to wonder if the Colts and Saints would have made it to the superbowl had they not rested their starters at the end of tthe 2009 season. This is why what the Dolphins did was phenomenal. Sure, what the pats did was great, but they ultimately could not get it done. Also, when you say that "it just happened," you downplay how dominant this team really was. Keep in mind that they went to the superbowl the year before, and they won the superbowl the year after.

[MrJack83124]

@HinesXL okay, the pats went undefeated in the regular season, but winning in the post season is much more difficult. I think that there are a few other teams over the years who could have gone undefeated in the regular season. A couple of years ago both the Saints and the Colts probably could have gone undefeated in the regular season. But most teams rest their starters at the end of the regular season so as to have everybody healthy through the postseason.
