Yeah, but if Tom Brady goes down tomorrow, so do the Pats. The Dolphins had to run almost the entire season with their backup Earl Morrall. Secondly, when the Dolphins did it, they played under REAL football rules, not the primadona rules that the teams play under today. You could bump receivers back then without pass interference. You could hit the QB without roughing the passer, etc. Holding every other down.
Thirdly, your comments about the Dolphins run are pretty insignifigant considering they would've had to beat the second and third best teams in the AFC to get to the Superbowl plus the best team in the NFC to win it. Not to mention although the Dolphins had close calls, they DID NOT LOSE! Let's not forget the gift from the front office the Patriots were given on Monday Night Football on Dec. 3rd. Saying they won that game is as lame and blinding as saying Ohio State won the National Championship in the '03 Fiesta Bowl!!!!
Go Chargers!!!!!!!!!!
This is shaping up to be the 2004 Steelers all over again.
