Yeah, looking back I think we would have been the #1. I can’t recall which tiebreakers come first, but our conference record would have been 11-1, which is absurd.
Still don’t think we beat NE, even at home. We had Denver’s number that year; the playoff Patriots were a different beast though.
It’s a fun “What If?” but ultimately I’m kind of glad it worked out the way it did. If we change anything up to that point, we may never end up with Mahomes. Plus, all things considered, I think it’s probably better overall that we don’t give Brady any more rings ‘cause if you give him 2015 there is a very real possibility that they threepeat in 14, 15 and 16.
Ew.
