Just trying to stir a lively debate.
An excellent point and the same thing can be said about the Ravens in 2000. They had a nasty defense, right up there if not better than the 85 bears but their Trent Dilfer led offense was doody. 85 bears offense was lead by the flamboyant but not so talented Jim McMahon. Traditionally in the NFL the QB has been a guy who is pretty level headed. McMahon was the Terrell Owens of the QB position. A great self promoter but not such a good QB. I would like to see a comparison of Corey dillon's career stats to Walter Payton's. Very similar players from the perspective of playing for bad teams. Payton played on a ton of terrible bears teams before going to the super bowl. Bottom line is that Patriots are probably one of the most well rounded teams of all time.
Lastly I love my patriots, but I have a hard time calling them a dynasty if they win the Super Bowl this year because they didn't even make the playoffs in 2002. They got knocked out on the last day of the season by the jets who weren't in 1st place at all the entire season until they pulled off a miracle win against a strong Green Bay team on the last day of the season.
