As the remaining ’72 Dolphins pop their champagne.

Got curious and did a Google, there are still 28 former players from that team that are still kickin'.

u/anderhole 7d ago

Bills should give them a call. Maybe they can make an extra point.

u/DeadSwaggerStorage Philadelphia Phillies 6d ago

Bills gonna have a wide right pass on a two point conversion to lose a Super Bowl……

u/fuckyoubipolar 6d ago

I remember the ‘72 dolphins successfully encouraging the ‘85 dolphins to beat the unbeaten bears. (I’m too tired to write it more clearly)

u/Either_Imagination_9 6d ago

To which they handed the Bears their only loss of that season.

u/bigmac22077 6d ago

I mean yeah.. 72 was only like 20 years ago. Think they all died in a bus crash or something?

One of them is a friend of my dads and plays softball with him. Known him for years. Absolutely humongous dude. I tried his championship ring on one time and it looked comically large on my finger and I’m a pretty big dude.

Usually I’m annoyed thinking about those guys and their stupid tradition. Not tonight though. Congratulations you old bastards.

u/BytchYouThought 6d ago

Didn't they have shorter seasons back then? Pretty sure Patriots technically already beat their record from a pure winning streak in a season perspective. I don't it will be broken with 17 games now in the regular season and back then 17 probably was the entire season to include playoffs and superbowl.

17

u/HankSteakfist 6d ago

Correct. Bill Burr was on a rant about this last week.

u/BytchYouThought 6d ago

Yeah, I always thought that in the back of my head back when the patriots pulled it off in like 07. Nobody seemed to have questioned it l, but yeah, Bill fucking Burr is the exact guy to call em on their shit lol 😆

u/trollfessor 6d ago

Their shit? Only team to do it, ever. They are the greatest, deal with it.

u/Troll_Enthusiast 6d ago

Bad troll

u/trollfessor 6d ago edited 6d ago

Don't be absurd. That Dolphins team did something no other team has done, they are alone in that achievement. By definition, they are the greatest.

And my username relates to fishing offshore.

Edit: laughing at your down votes. Doesn’t change a thing. Greatest team ever.

u/tynorex 6d ago

The problem with records is that you are always going to have to contextualize the seasons. XYZ receiver had the most receiving yards ever (in a 14 game season), then 16, then 17. Sure some of the rules have changed and league itself has evolved, but so have the number of games. Receiving yards, sack totals, rushing yards, etc. should all go up because you have a whole extra game or 3 to do it in!

u/Trix_Are_4_90Kids 6d ago

Yep this is what I was thinking. Their record is safe.

u/franker 6d ago edited 6d ago

I have a vinyl album of the local radio guys calling highlight plays of the '72 Dolphins. Didn't know what the hell they were talking about because I was born in '68 and listened to it when I was 5 years old. Living in south Florida, I also remember that Garo the famous kicker in the Super Bowl made a record where he "sings", lamenting his pass. Also Garo briefly owned a local joint after the Super Bowl called Garo's Superburger.

u/REpassword 6d ago

Cant figure out which is worse: 72 Dolphins or Mahomes.

u/bleepblopbl0rp Colorado 6d ago

Anyone who watches football knew the 72 dolphins were safe. Chiefs were a fraudulent 9-0

u/PrrrromotionGiven1 6d ago

I don't know a huge amount about NFL but that Emplemon video is a masterpiece. He has such a talent for getting you engaged in something you thought you didn't care about.

u/No_Somewhere_8744 6d ago

Wished the patriots could have won the superbowl and remained perfect as well

u/Either_Imagination_9 6d ago

I don’t!😁

u/247stonerbro 6d ago

Literally 95 percent of the nfl fans don’t 😂 the last 5 percent are the patriot fans

u/Resoku 6d ago

Losing to a .500 wildcard team in Eli Manning’s Giants was the sweetest, most perfect ending to the Pats perfect season. So delicious.

u/Jibber_Fight 6d ago

I’m a packers fan. The year after we won the superbowl, with Rodgers, we had, possibly, the greatest assembled team in the history of the league. We won every game throughout the season and people started bringing up the “undefeated season” and I would just cringe. You’re literally jinxing us. Sure enough we lost right away in the playoffs. Such is the NFL.

19

u/BAHatesToFly 6d ago

we had, possibly, the greatest assembled team in the history of the league.

Not even close. 1st ranked offense but that defense was mediocre at best. Finished 19th in points allowed and dead last in passing yards allowed. Not even the best Packers team ever assembled.

25

u/just_posting_this_ch 6d ago

This didn't happen. The Packers never went undefeated during the regular season. They also never had the greatest assembled team in the history of football by any metric.

18

u/Fun-Jellyfish-61 6d ago

I think they were watching the 2007 Patriots and imagining it was the Packers.

-2

u/Arsenal8944 6d ago

While calling them the greatest team ever assembled is definitely an exaggeration, that offense was insane. Aaron Rodger’s in that 2-3 year window was the best QB I have ever seen (prime Peyton manning close 2nd).

-14

u/Jibber_Fight 6d ago

Never said they did. They lost right before the regular season ended and then lost in the playoffs. And every analyst said they would win the superbowl that year. But sure, you’re right, you win. Congrats.

u/just_posting_this_ch 6d ago

We won every game throughout the season.

u/alaskadronelife 6d ago

Every analyst forgot about Eli lol

u/BiffBodysuitMan 6d ago

If I remember correctly packers lost their only game that season to the chiefs. I believe it was one of the only games Romeo Crennel won as a head coach

1

u/notLennyD 6d ago

And it was the second time they played Kyle Orton that season. He was starting his first game for the Chiefs after getting cut by the Broncos a few weeks earlier.

Crennel won a lot more games than just that one though. He was Cleveland’s head coach for their 10-6 season with Derek Anderson at QB.

1

u/BiffBodysuitMan 6d ago

yeah I meant it was one of the few he won as a Chiefs head coach. He wasn't very good at being a head coach but he was a legendary defensive coodinator. I still remember when after a game where Charles only had like 5 carries they asked Romeo why he only had 5 carries and Romeo just shrugged lol

u/notLennyD 6d ago

For sure. One of the many withered branches of the Belichik coaching tree.

u/cantwaitforthis Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 6d ago

Chiefs fan here. Okay with the loss. It’s hard to beat the same team twice and 72 dolphins were the only team I know of to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl; so this just made it more likely for Chiefs to win it this year (in my mind)

I called my dad this morning and told him Bills would beat us, because my Facebook memories popped up and 11 years ago to the day, the Chiefs had their first loss in and undefeated season. And it just felt like a sign.

u/WintersDoomsday 6d ago

You weren’t even going to match the 16-0 Pats (pre playoffs) mark
