2000's Patriots VS. 1980's Redskins

I posed this question to espn's Greg Garber earlier and here's the response I got. Do you see it as well? Will Joe do it again??

davis (dallas texas): Greg, This Pats team bears a striking resemblence to a very dominant team of the 80's that was orchestrated by Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs. Fundamentaly sound in every aspect, little to no mistakes, several less than household names coming together as one to play for the team and not themselves, not very flashy but effective, and so on... Do you see the comparison, and do you see any other team doing it in the near future?

Greg Garber: (2:33 PM ET ) David: Nice observation. They DO remind me of those Gibbs' Redskins. I covered the NY Giants during their eight-year SB run and was always impressed with Gibbs' teams. Belichick and Gibbs might be the most anal-retentive, detail-oriented coaches in the history of the game.
