there was a thread about this a couple of months ago where I stated my opinion - even IF the Patriots had gone 19-0 they would NOT be the greatest football team ever, their season would have been the greatest accomplishment by any team in history, big difference - because of the SALARY CAP no team will be the equal or better of the dynasties of the past. That's just a fact - people want to be in on 'the greatest' new thing but wishing doesn't make it so.
my opinion is Chuck Noll's Steelers and the 85 Bears are the greatest teams of all time
The NHL is now the same thing - none of these Stanley Cup champions like the Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricans and whoever wins this year can hold a candle to the Edmonton Oilers of the 80's or the Montreal Canadians of the 70's.
salary cap brings parity and mediocrity. what the Patriots have done in the salary cap era is amazing because the system works against a team having the kind of success they have had for so long.
