It’s not comparable any more. 14 games vs. 17 games is apples to oranges.

It’s absolutely comparable because it’s still going through and NFL season undefeated. If a team did it today, obviously 17-0 would be more impressive because of the season being longer — an exact apples to more apples comparison.

How many teams have started 14-0 since the NFL went to a 16 game schedule? Isn’t it still only 3? There have been only what, 5 teams till finish a season 15-1 since the 16 team schedule was implemented?

Miami’s feat is still quite extraordinary.

What's your point?

Undefeated is undefeated. If you wanted to argue that a team going 15-0 before losing should be looked at in the same light because they won more games to start a season than the Dolphins did, eh, maybe.

But only 1 team has started 14-0 since 1972. That 18-1 New England team was impressive, but they managed to lose to Eli Frickin Manning in the Super Bowl, and that puts them a rung below Miami (and probably the 85 Bears as well).
