heres some issues with this

1) the dolphins had one of the easiest schedules all year...if im right they beat just two teams without losing records n i believe both teams finished a mere 8-8

2) the dolphins weren't a high scoring team...their 14-7 win over the redskins in the superbowl who is one of the worst superbowl teams in known history conciedes with that

3) Where was the offensive firepower?....the dolphins had a good Line and even better backs...the dolphins succeeded at running the ball dwn everyone's throat...conska n morris made a great duo as conska wore teams down alongside tht O-line and morris's speed made defenses play sideline to sideline....but outside of them where was the firepower?...the team relied on a back-up playing game manager to win games...outside of paul-warfield there was no threat...teams of the 90's/00's would simply scheme and force the Qb to throw and having one Wr threat makes this tougher

4) Theres a difference in Talent Level frm the 70's to the 90's n 2000's...Players in the 70's were weaker and smaller...teams frm the 70's going up aganist teams today would get pummelled
 
It's been a disappointing season for Bears' fans, but this Blast From The Pastis something to be proud of. the most lopsided game in NFL history.
CHICAGO BEARS
A team who beat the Redskins 73 -0 to win the championship title in 1940 holds the record for the
the most lopsided game in NFL History that stand today !

The T-formation is so much associated with the 1940 Chicago Bears that their fight song Bear Down, Chicago Bears refers to that. "We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation, with your T formation..."

The Monsters of the Midway arrived on this day, and it is still one of the greatest moments in the history of the Chicago Bears franchise.

Yes so true ............Three Coaches have done it as both player/coach

Mike Ditka / Willie Brown and Tony Dungy
 
Mike ditka did win as a player and coach Willie Brown won as a player thts it

Are you sure bruh? I thought he won as a coach also. Thanks for the correction bruh!

Peace!

I agree, but you can only play what is out there. Many of these point you make will forever haunt them for the very reasons you state. But if you've seen any of those clips,maybe you will see what some consider to be one of the weirdest plays in Super Bowl history. A field goal attempt was blocked, so instead of the kicker just covering the ball, he tried to pick it up and throw it. The ball slipped out of his hand and was batted into the arms of one of the Redskins cornerback I think, who ran the ball back 49 yards and cut their lead in half. But they still won.

Peace!
