Which 4-0 is more impressive?

[MasterShadic]

KC is certainly the most surprising, but if Miami wins tonight then I think theirs will be the most impressive. Tannehill looks good, and they would have beaten three of the top teams in the NFL(although the Falcons don't look so hot right now). I expected the Broncos to be this good, and the Patriots are barely scraping by when they win.

I wanted to wait until after tonight but yeah if the Dolphins can pull off a win tonight they will climb right up towards being one of the more impressive 4-0 teams.

Beating Indy on the road, Atlanta on a final second drive, and New Orleans in that Dome would be a collection of three very impressive wins.. especially for a team that no one expected to be undefeated at this point.

Yeah, on second thought, I'll actually go with KC here.

The Broncos have played amazing football, but I honestly expected them to play at that level. A 13-3 team QBed by Peyton Manning that adds Wes Welker is going to score points and win games.

A historically bad team the year before (KC) starting 4-0 is really mind-impressing and something I never expected.

I will give Brady credit though, this is his best "carry the team on my shoulders" job since the early days of the Patriots run but I can see this team slipping at some point or if they make the playoffs they'll be one and done.

I think the defense has carried them more than Brady personally, but to each their own. I think Brady's seasons of breaking records while his defense was among the worst ever was more of him carrying them than this.

Either way, don't take my last post as saying you shouldn't discuss this comparison. But if that's all you want to talk about, it probably doesn't need a full thread bc it would turn into a Manning vs Brady thread. Hopefully you agree that it's good to talk about the other teams along with your initial intent (good discussions going on in here).

They had a ton of injuries to great players, and brought in a new coach and QB. I did think they would be a playoff contender this year but having this level of success this early, with all these moving parts (even those guys coming back) is pretty impressive. With that said, after considering some recent posts, I may change my vote to Miami if they win tonight.

The two most impressive 4-0 teams to me are Seattle and Denver, also my SB pick. They are flat out demolishing their opponents, except Seattle when they play at 1 EST. If the Seahawks can fix that, they'll be unstoppable.
Two most surprising 4-0 teams are the Patriots and the Dolphins if they win tonight. Pats are the luckiest team on the face of the earth. They should really be 1-3 right now, but Brady makes it happen somehow.

Impressive as "dominating"? By far the Broncos. Hands down the best team in the NFL, end of story.

Impressive as in "unexpected"? Chiefs. I don't think anybody saw this coming. I think everybody knew Seattle would be legit again this year, but they were definitely on the ropes against Houston (same with New Orleans and Tampa)

The Patriots...come on. It's Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. That's the only combination deadlier than Brees/Payton.
