DYNASTY. The best team in NFL history: the 2007 New England Patriots. Yeah, the Dolphins went 14-0 in the regular season and won the superbowl, but the Pats had two more regular season wins and they beat the next best three teams (Colts, Cowboys, Chargers) during the season. When the Pats win the superbowl this year, they won't only be the best team ever, they will be the best dynasty ever. Better than the Steelers of the 70's, better than the 49ers of the 80's, better than the Cowboys of the 90's.

I blogged about them going undefeated back in October, and I've been talking about it ever since they won decisive victories over the Jets in week one and the Charge in week 2. Check out these records they set this year:

• Most points during the regular season (589)
• Most Passing TD's (Tom Brady - 50)
• Most Receiving TD's (Randy Moss - 23)
• Longest Winning Streak (19)
• Most wins during one regular season (16)

Man! What a season. And the icing on the cake is the fact that Cris Collinsworth has sand in his panties after rooting against the Pats all season. During week 17's game during the Giants, he stopped veiling his anti-Pats bias and literally was pumped up about the Giants chances - and his disappointment after the Pats went ahead was palpable. I love this line after they went undefeated: "Are they the best ever? I don't know. If they don't win the superbowl I wouldn't call them the best ever." HAHAHAA. The guy who spent 17 weeks rooting against them is now holding out for a playoff loss - what a d-bag. Collinsworth, and the rest of America, the 2007 Patriots are the best team ever, and the Patriots are the best dynasty ever. It will take a fourth superbowl this decade to prove it, but I don't have a doubt in my mind that they'll win another super. Next year, we'll be chanting 'One for the Thumb'.
