You "watched the games", nah you maybe have seen "clips" and such, but you didn't watch all the games.

Speed? They don't run any faster. Strength, they didn;t get any stronger! Go lookup a pic of Mike Webster if they have one on the net. i seen a pic of him years ago without a **** doing deadlifts.. the man was a damn BULL! No reciever today is faster than Lynn Swan or John Stalworth and 95% don;t have thier TALENT!

Jack Lambert comes through that line and takes your head off with massive power and speed.

And those guys didn;t have all the high tech junk they have today to protect themselves..they are simply TOUGHER than those today, because they had to be.

So no doubt you are wrong. Players, in every sport today are MUCH less than they use to be. Today its all about the MONEY, not the SPORT.

Not saying this out of spite or in an angry way..so please don't take it that way. Not saying that todays Pats aren't good, they are very good and have some great talented players. But the Steelers back then were the total package..no weakness in ANY spot. Can't say that about the Pats.

Cheeseheads are coming up!!!

dude no offense or ne thing but ur puttin the past teams on a pedestal, they were tougher yes, they were faster hell no dude, im sorry there is no way they were faster, and im not talkin certain players im talkin on a whole, offensive linemen were smaller too man, i mean its was easier to get through them but im done arguin this man, u live in the past.

Your nuts the refs were on the patriots side and the patriots was cheating the first 10 games until they got caught. The Colts will see them in the playoffs and they will be going to the super bowl again. The patriots don't have a chance at all.

This so called "cheating" was over in the first 8 minutes of the first game of the season, and they ahve been blowing pretty much everyone out since..........what gives??? ohh yea they are in a league of their own, Pats 07 Superbowl champs -write it on a cake ,freeze it and send it to me through UPS

This is fun lol... I got ur back pat...

It's too bad we could not put them head to head. Then all your "illusions" of team you have no real clue of. Speed, strength, they had it ALL. Maybe not quite the "size" of all of the Pats now (due to steriod use of course) and that Pats of 07' don't have all the TALENT, thats what you are missing! They have "some" strong good players, but they have weak spots..clearly.

You state how "all" the Pats are "faster"..like the entire line. You are so full of chit..take a look at the STATS..they ARE recorded! Where's this BIG difference you are talking about?? There is NONE!

So living in the past? Nope. Just KNOW what I have seen first hand..BIG difference than from a kid who wasn't even a twinkle in his daddy's eye of the time.

The thread was started by asking "who you thought is the greatest team ever"..well thats my pick..and I've seen them both play first hand, not just from a few highlight clips. So look at the STATS and show me some BIG difference you are trying to make?

Dolphins win! Dolphins win!

Well - I'm old enough to remember the Steelers back then, and the youngster is right. You can't compare the Athlete's of today with those of 30 years ago. Today's athlete's are in much better shape, and the game has advanced beyond their knowing how to begin to defend it. Largly in part because of them (As I'm sure you all recall Tony Dungee played for those Steelers) So don't be so quick to think that it would be that easy. We'll just never know.

Cheating the first 10 games? Been watching any football this decade?

The Fins are on a roll now...watch out patsie's

I saw the '59 Colts - Did you? They would have destroyed the Steelers. Unitas, Berry, Oar. I still say the Cowboys of the 90's, 49ers of the 80's - Patriots OR Colts would beat the Steelers of the 70's. But you CAN'T compare. The league has advanced beyond comparison. Stats for the 70's are meaningless in the 2000's. There are 32 teams now. They play more games. The offenses and defenses are so much more sophisticated. The arguments are irrelivant. And Don't get me wrong. I was a huge Steeler fan in those days, and they were great. A dynasty! But to compare dynasties - fruitless.

That's funny!

You are correct. I have to agree in many ways. Lots of things have changed. And no I was not there back to watch the games pre-1970 (at least any I can remember) so you have me on that one as well.

And you are correct, more teams, many more advancements, etc.

But the 70's Steelers against the 2007 Pats...I'd still take the Steelers in that game in a heartbeat!

too funny lol! alsmost opposites eh?

Yeah - too bad the Dolphins won a game. It would have been 14-0 against 0-14 for the all time NFL single season record, against the franchise that holds it! Well - it still is, but 14-0 against 1-13 is not as "romantic". And the Dolphins in Foxboro in December! Even when they were a great team they had a hard time beating the Patriots up here. If the Jets offense couldn't score - what happens to the Dolphins!

lol- they'd be better off putting those dolphins from seaworld on the field

I will be at the Miami game and have seen them lose many at the end of the season in our house....This year will be no different...Although I too wanted to see them come into our house 0-14 as well.......It would have been more drama......the fans love that ****...lol...

If they manage to get healthy and Brady or Moss or both get hurt. There is no way the Colts are gonna win. Brady will pull it off again. Pats are going to Super Bowl this year. Its gonna be New England vs. Green Bay or Dallas (If Romo gets his head screwed on straight and not thinkning about Ms. Priss who cant even wear a proper jersey. It had to to be PINK. Hello its football.)

some people and their sports knowledge...


I think the biggest test will be the jags at home, because we will get them most likely. No dwight Freeney? No pressure on Brady. (look at our probowl offensive linemen, that line has been IMPRESSIVE all year) and theres no way colts win at gillete in the playoffs if we are 17-0 during an AFC champisonship gae
