Greatest Offense Ever ?

Gee, talk about getting ahead of yourself. Wow, they've played all of six games, absolutely none of which have been against a quality defense.

Greatest offense this year. They have no running game to speak of. I think the greatest offense ever may be that 49ers team led by Steve Young to the Super Bowl win.

^Hasn't Morris run for over a 100y in two games (maybe?). But Maroney is hurt, and at this time in the season they don't really need a running game. Come December, they'll run and run good because of their line.

maroney and morris are injured.... they have faulk... what about troy,irv and smith from dallas...

[Kellfire]

Aikman, Smith, Irvin, Novacek.

Best offence ever.

[M-benzw203]

49ers Joe, Bret, Roger, Rice, John, Ratt that is a complete offen. in every area all hall of famers will kill that Pats' good team put does not compare sorry.

Aikman, Smith, Irvin, Novacek.

FTW...................

82 Chargers.....Don Coreyell was the original offensive architect that all of today’s great offenses are designed around.
Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, Jon Jefferson and Charlie Joyner.... If only they had a defense that year..

The 1990 49ers had the greatest offense ever. That thing was a machine. I think they outscored their 3 playoff opponents 126-26.

[Whiplash]

They have the easiest schedule of the NFL, they played 1 game against a team with more than 2 wins at the time and the cowboys are terrible vs the pass

they might end up putting the best numbers ever but playing 6 games vs Buffalo, The Jets and Miami as well as games vs the browns and Cleveland will inflate your numbers

I think Buffalo, the jets and Miami might win 6 between them this year and only because they play each other 6 times

I will have to second that one. The Charger Offense was unstoppable. The biggest problem was no defense.

Pats have lived for several years now without a 'real' running game. They continue to use the short passes as a running game substitute. The Pats may or may not go down as the greatest offense, but they certainly will be rated as one of the greatest teams, and team of this decade. I'm not even a Pats fan, I have followed the Bills since childhood...went to school at U of Buffalo. Have been a long standing Red Sox fan since then too. I watch the Pats and like to see them win, except against the Bills. I think the Colts with Payton/Marvin and Edge were another great offense. The Bills with the K-Gun were quick to score, the Denver teams with Elway/Davis/Smith were good as were the Rams for a couple years there Warner/Faulk/Holt/Bruce.
I need to see the Pats against a great defense...not sure that will happen this year!

sounds like Marino's problem

Is this even worth the time it takes to read the title?

Starting a thread on this quote is stupid (assuming you know anything about American football). But I must say...you got me interested.

[crazy_horst]

They might be the greatest offense to the integrity of the game...

[SirMilton]

And I was sure this was about Peyton and the Colts.

However, Tom Brady's accomplishment of getting two supermodels pregnant at the same time has got to qualify him for some "greatest" award.

The pregame show Monday night probably said it best, the Patriots haven't had a very tough schedule as yet this season. 42 points in one half against the Dolphins; so what, the Dolphins may be the worst football team in history instead.
