Why the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers are the Best Team in NFL History
...
I'm 36 and have watched the NFL all season, every season for some 25-26 years. not an eternity, but long enough to be able to give an accurate summarization of the last 30, of the last 40 super bowls. And the game has changed so much, the first 10 games are in an era where the rules were quite different, and even the season shorter. believe me, if the Dolphins perfect season had the 2 additional games we have today comprising the 16 game season, it could have changed football history.

They barely made it into the playoffs, and could have missed the post season altogether had it not been for a couple of weak teams that lost pivotal games.
