If you look at the stats of AFC East teams versus teams in other divisions, you'll see a few things:
1. the record of the Patriots INSIDE AND OUTSIDE the division is about the same. In other words, they kick the AFC East's ass, but they also kick pretty much everyone else's ass also.
2. The record of the other AFC East teams versus the other divisions is not terrible.
But hey, stats don't matter to anti-Patriot haters. At least, if it doesn't fit the narrative they want to spin.

Post all the stats you want- but the fact is you get to play the Jets, Bills and Fins 6 times a year. An automatic Division title and home Playoff game. Heck of an advantage.
Like I said- according to you- the Pats have the toughest schedule, never got any breaks, toughest division, never did anything unethical. The Perfect Patriots are Perfect!!!
Wouldn't an "anti" Patriot hater actually be a fan? So on this point, I will agree, Patriot fans spin stats to fit whatever narrative that makes their team look perfect. I think you got carried away there with your Patriot propaganda spamming.
