I think that's a point worth mentioning.

Only peripherally: The '72 Dolphin's record is
still intact (
for a 14-game season).
Interesting enough, their 17-0 season is also still intact, at least until the Pats go 17-0, 18-1 or 19-0.
Moreover, the Patriots are 16-0 in a
16 game season.
The Pats will likely go 19-0 with a Super Bowl win.
Perhaps then the moaning and wringing of hands by Miami fanbots will come to a screeching halt.
Besides, the '72 Dolphins were just 14-0 (17-0) while the Pats are 16-0 and will be 19-0.
FI:
the 2007 Pats are bigger, faster and smarter than the '72 Dolphins and would whip them in a game like a mom beating a bad kid.
