Lol. The 72 Fins played a 14 game regular season.

You know so little about what you're talking about I'm not going to bother addressing the 2nd part.

teams back then would beat teams nowsquitsquat

One of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

If anything, the athletes are far bigger, stronger, and faster now.

Apples and oranges, they can never be compared

The Dolphins did it in an era of a stronger league and without the aid of advanced sports medicine.

The Pats did it in an era with free agency.

Each one has it's drawbacks and advantages.

I agree. These two teams played so far apart I don't think you accurately compare them.

so just because they would be more physical automatically guarantees a win?[QUOTE="KingOfKonging"]

How do you "guarantee" a win in a ridiculous fantasy scenario, but how would the athletes being far superior today NOT help?
