I really would've liked to have seen what happened had the Colts not moved out of the East.
For a year Manning was in that division with BB (don't think Brady was the QB). Just giving Brady/Belichick 2 tough divisional games each year would've been enough to keep them from coasting to that bye week season after season.
And my memory is that the Patriots never won a SB they didn't have a Bye for.
The Patriots easy-ass schedule is the biggest reason they had the success they had. They simply never had a credible opponent in the division.
