The '04 team was still better because the '04 team had a shutdown defense. The 2007 team had a slightly-above-average defense that was seriously hampered when Rosie Colvin was knocked out for the season in Week 11. They just didn't have the same kind of depth that the '04 team had, and it cost them. The '07 team was a modern NFL aerial circus, whereas the '04 was a complete team, on both sides of the ball. Best Pats' team ever. And if Joey Porter is reading this...up yours. The Halloween win was a fluke, with Branch and Dillon out going into the game, and Law getting hurt 5 minutes into it (Roethlisberger immediately targeted Law's replacement for a long TD pass right after Law left). Spygate had nothing to do with that AFC title game beatdown, Mr. Porter. Best Patriots’ team ever, hands down, and I’d probably even be saying that had the 2007 team finished the job in the Super Bowl to go 19-0.
