The 1972 NFL season. Regarded by some as the best ever season in the NFL. Why? Because the Miami Dolphins went undefeated. They managed to win all of their 14 regular season games and all three of their post season games, winning the Superbowl and finishing 17-0.
No other team since the NFL-AFL merger had ever gone undefeated, and no team has done it since Miami. The New England Patriots came close to breaking this record in the 2007 season, but they couldn’t win in the Superbowl against the New York Giants, meaning they ended the season 18-1. Other than this occasion, no other team has come close to becoming undefeated and I don’t think no team ever will. Ever. Here’s why.
1. Perfect squad depth
If a team plans to go undefeated, they sure better have the talent to back it up. And I mean in every position, not just the ones that make the big plays. We’re talking having a starting QB and then another starting QB, but as your back up QB. When the Dolphins went undefeated, they won 11 games with back up Earl Morrall filling in for injured starter Bob Griese at QB. If you think Dominique Davis could ever do the same for the Atlanta Falcons if Matt Ryan ever got injured (touch wood) or Graham Harrell could do the same for the Green Bay Packers if Aaron Rodgers ever got injured (touch wood), I think you should book a doctor’s appointment for your head right away. It isn’t going to happen.
Not only a perfect squad depth on offense, but on defence too. Defences tend to unravel as the undefeated streak goes on till they eventually collapse and lose a game. The NFL has changed its rules so much in favour of offenses, that it has become extremely difficult to build a top-notch defence. Also the cost of trying to build a top-notch defence means teams have less money for the offense. Teams would then become one-dimensional, relying on either the offense or the defence to win their games. You can’t go undefeated being a one-dimensional team.
2. Salary Cap
The Dolphins had six ‘Hall Of Famers’ on that team in the 1972 season. Back then, the salary cap didn’t exist, meaning it was easy to pay the players to keep them at the team. Since the salary cap was introduced to the NFL in 1994, teams have found it hard to keep the same kind of talent that helped the Dolphins go undefeated. You look at this year’s free agency and see how many big names changed sides. Wes Welker, Greg Jennings, Jake Long, Ed Reed, Reggie Bush, Steven Jackson. Most of them have changed sides for more money and playing time. It’s hard to keep talent on your squad without paying them huge amounts.
3. The season is longer now that what it was back then
The season is longer now than what it was back when the Dolphins went undefeated. Instead of being 17-0, you have to go 19-0 to achieve an undefeated season. You’ve got to win more games than what the Dolphins did. You could even win more games in a single season than what the Dolphins did and still not go undefeated. The example of that happening is the 2007 New England Patriots as they won 18 games but still didn’t have an undefeated season.
4. Undefeated seasons create too much hype to handle
As soon as one team starts to string some wins together, the media starts to question whether or not the team could go all the way and stay undefeated. Chasing an undefeated season puts all your players under the spotlight, and not all of your players will be able to handle that kind of pressure. The veterans on your team can handle this kind of pressure, but it’s your rookie players you’ve got to worry about. They can start to believe that everything that is being said about them is true, and that’s when you have to start worrying. Big egos and other priorities could occur, which isn’t good on the team’s perspective at all.
5. No team is interested in going undefeated
Most teams just set out each year to win the Superbowl. So does any team start the season by saying: “We’re aiming to win the Superbowl, but we’re going to have an undefeated season too.” Surely being undefeated would be just a side bonus right? I’m sure the Miami Dolphins didn’t start the 1972 season saying their aim was to go undefeated. It just happened. Why would any team be interested? If they do it one year, they’ll have to do it the next year too otherwise that season would be classed as a failure when compared to the undefeated season. Teams shouldn’t be interested in going undefeated because winning the Superbowl should be the priority.
6. No incentive to play your best players
Let’s create a scenario. Your team’s record in the season is currently 13-0. You’ve qualified for the playoffs and you’ve won home-field advantage. Is there an incentive to play your best players for the remainder regular season games before the playoffs to stay undefeated? They could get injured and become unavailable for the entire playoffs meaning the chances of your team winning the Superbowl have significantly reduced. No team would risk having their best players injured and Superbowl hopes ruined over trying to achieve an undefeated season. It’s just common sense.
