18-1 by a very very wide margin

As large as the gap between 18-1 and 19-0?
you can go 18-1 and win the Super Bowl, so no

But in this case, no. So, I suggest that the gap between 1-15 and 18-1 (where the patriots are) is not as big as the gap between the Pats 18-1 and what 19-0 would have been.Basically, from the worst team in the league to league runner up. Or league runner up compared to utterly immortal talked about as greatest team ever and biggest single season accomplishment ever.

Going 18-1 and having the #7 pick in the draft > 1-15 and the #1 pick 
in which case?if the question is would you rather be the Dolphins or the Patriots right now, 99.9% of people would take the Patriots. who has a better chance to win a championship next year?

Not sure that applies here.

Interesting question. Maybe you should ask Wes Welker and Junior Seau how they feel about that today. Nobody on either team will be wearing a 2008 NFL Championship ring next September, so...or to go 1-15....and have the #1 pick in th draft?

18 and 1 ouch!!!!!! Sorry Pat fans, that has got to sting. The only NFL team that I can think of with a more painful story is the Buffalo Bills who went to the Bowl 4 times in a row and came away with 4 big L's. That (the Bills) was a long contracted chronic scar tissue buildup. This (the Pats 2008) is a more acute blow to the crotch. Hats off to the Giants. That was an incredible football performance. Among the best superbowls ever.

18-1 this way sucks, BAD! It hurts and will continue to hurt for a while. But, once the disappointment begins to wear off, you still have a very good team that should be back in the hunt next year.
1-15, and you have very little hope of being good anytime soon. The #1 pick isn't really that much of a consolation.
I'll deal with the short term hurt and disappointment, because coming out the other side will be another chance.

also, having the #1 overall pick is highly overrated considering the money it costs to sign them and the fact that many fail to become superstars.

If my team doesn't win the super bowl I would much rather have the #1 pick. No super bowl is a failed season.

I'd much rather be 18-1 with an AFC East and AFC conference title as well as knocking off Indy in Indy, beating the Steelers pretty easily and ending San Diego's season for a second year in a row than sucking. Any legit Patriot fan knows what it's like to root for a horrible team that no one cares about that ends up with the #1 pick. We've been there...more than once. While yesterday lose is beyond painful I'd much rather be in that situation than being irrelevant and hoping Kenneth Sims is the savior.

As a Dolphins fan, I'll take the 18-1 any day of the week.
1-15 is brutal. I hope to never endure it again.

Spoken like someone who has never had season tickets to a team who ended up with the first pick in the draft.

Is it better to cheat your way to 18-1? Or to lose 15 games and not cheat?
Maybe you should include ethics into the answer

I'll bet the Patriots win more games the next three seasons than the Dolphins. I'll spot you three wins.
no but unlike the miami dolphins they are a lock to make the playoffs and a favorite to get back to the superbowlInteresting question.

Well to go 18-1 and lost by 3 in the SB and getting the #6 or #7 pick is far better from my view. If you're 1-15 and getting the #1, you have far more issues than a #1 pick is going to solve. You do get better players each round, but coming up from 1-15 is a process, not a one year deal. That said, the ordering of the draft is what makes the Pats and Colts run all that more impressive. They've been picking late for years, and yet are two of the best teams in the league, year after year. Nobody else comes close in the FA era. I guess what I'm saying, the draft order helps bad teams get better, but doesn't necessarilly make the best managed teams worse.or to go 1-15....and have the #1 pick in th draft?
