I believe so, according to profootball-reference.com:

http://www.profootball-reference.com/teams/mia1972.htm

Offense Ranked #1 in Points Scored...
Offense Ranked #1 in Total Yards...
Defense Ranked #1 in Points Allowed...
Defense Ranked #1 in Total Yards Allowed...

So how were the other teams in that Post Season?...
AFC
Cleveland O= # 17 PS and 21 in TY...
Cleveland D= # 10 in PA and 15 in TY...

Oakland O= # 3 in PS and 2 in TY...
Oakland D= # 8 in PA and 9 in TY...

Pittsburgh O= # 5 in PS and 11 in TY...
Pittsburgh D= # 2 in PA and 9 in TY...

NFC
Dallas O= # 10 in PS and 5 in TY...
Dallas D= # 26 in PA and 7 in TY...

SF O= # 4 in PS and 9 in TY...
SF D= # 9 in PA and 19 in TY...

GB O= # 11 in PS and 23 in TY...
GB D = # 4 in PA and 2 in TY...

Wash O= # 7 in PS and 14 in TY...
Wash D= # 3 in PA and 5 in TY...

What else is interesting the 72 Fins are the only team to rank # 1 in those 4 categories since that year...:dolphins:
 
That year at least we was the best team and the greatest of the nfl history, with a backup QB almost the all season (Earl Morral).

Fins' 72 Rules, any team want to be perfect but if they will made, will be the second
 
I knew it.We should remind everyone of those stats whenever they neglect to include that 72 team in a Best Ever poll.
 
so much for that bullcrap ESPN pulls about having an easy schedule or whatever. How come we were so dominate and undefeated still? How many teams since then have had easy schedules but have done neither???

Do you mean the the best NFL team that year, or the best of all time?

Performance wise, IMHO, I believe they were the best ever... talent wise, that can be debated...

They were definitley the best in the NFL that year...

So many teams win championships and their stats fall short of the best in category that year...
