Many of the old Dolphins have conceded that the '73 team (that lost two games) was actually a stronger team than the '72 squad. In '72 the Dolphins simply got all the (lucky) breaks. A lot like the Patriots this year.

People forget the fact that the '72 Dolphins won most of their games with their backup quarterback, Earl Morall. They claimed him on waivers for $100 bucks.

Talk about a steal.

The Patriots didn't get lucky repeatedly...but they thoroughly did in the Ravens game, and that's the difference between undefeated and not.
