Of course the best team in football wins their division (I'm still betting it's the worst or close to it but there's no defense to that) |

The AFC East does have the best overall record, however they are also propped up significantly by the Patriots. The other 3 teams in the division rank 19th, 22nd, and 26th in overall record. For reference, the divisions in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th place each have 3 teams with a better overall record than the AFC East's second best team, the NY Jets

Not sure what you're looking at, but -- if you're including the losses to the Patriots, you're punishing the other three teams for being in the same division as the Patriots and having to play them twice. Essentially giving those three teams a combined 5-6 losses PER YEAR for all of the years covered. So this stat is weird, but useful. It's the record of each division since 2000 against ALL OTHER divisions, but EXCLUDING whatever team won the division that year (so, exclude the Patriots themselves most years, as well as whichever team won the various other divisions in any given year). But again, this isn't fair to the AFC East. What happens when we remove every season's division winners from each division? Division W - L - T Win Percentage AFC East 395 - 469 - 0 .457 NFC East 390 - 472 - 2 .451 NFC South 394 - 501 - 2 .439 AFC North 368 - 493 - 4 .425 AFC South 365 - 499 - 0 .422 AFC West 363 - 501 - 0 .420 NFC North 361 - 502 - 2 .417 NFC West 347 - 515 - 4 .401 It looks like -- between the Patriots EQUAL domination inside and outside the AFCE, and the AFCE's (other than Pats) not-bad showing against other divisions (outside of their division's champ that year), that the AFC East doesn't suck as horrifically as Patriots haters suggest.

I’m pretty sure my 49ers coworkers got sick of me talking about what an advantage SF had that they played in a weak ass division that let them not only coast to home field advantage but they could also rest their starters in the fourth quarter.

You don't seem to understand what I'm posting at all. How would YOU compare the non-Patriot AFC East's strength over the last 20 years? You can't just compare how the divisions in total have done against each other -- the AFC East looks GREAT, but it's skewed by teh Patriots themselves winning at such a high percentage. So you can look at how the AFC East has done (excluding Pats) against the other divisions, but that isn't really fair either. You're top-weighting the other division by including their champ team. If you're trying to determine how difficult the Patriots road to the division crown was, compared to the road other division winners had, doesn't it make sense to look at how the non-division winners have done against teams OUTSIDE their own division?

THEN you lose that argument and decide to remove division winners altogether and compare the divisions. We might as well pretend NE is in the AFC W and get rid of the Raiders, you really think you win all those division titles? Your division is KEY to NE and their success... period, end of discussion. By your reasoning look at YOUR divisions record against other divisions not the other divisions against eachother. |

I cant imagine rooting for a team where in the post-season...you never even think of the refs screwing you out of a win. Their worst case scenario is an evenly called contest.
I cant imagine having zero penalties in their biggest game of the regular season...when there is evidence some were committed. It really never crosses Patriot fans mind...that they could possibly lose because of the officials. Its the #1 thing I worry about when the Chiefs play in important games...."how bad are they going to get ****ed ...and do they have a big enough lead to beat the calls". Chiefs could have been to multiple SB if the refs decided to take game winning TDs off the board...or call bogus PI at critical junctures...or rule incomplete passes as legit. NE is a good team...but their "dynasty" is heavily aided by beneficial calls. |

But it's a ridiculous hypothetical. If we put the Niners into the NFC East years ago and removed the weakest link -- the Eagles -- does that affect anything? Well, duh, yes. A more realistic change is to swap the Pats (AFCE) and Colts (AFCS). Does much change? Nope. Pats for Pack (NFCN). Much change? Nope. YOUR argument is that the AFC East has offered no competition for the Patriots. Putting the Patriots into a division that had NO very weak teams doesn't make much sense. No team in the NFL has had to deal with that. Quote:

Amnorix...give one example of the Patriots/Brady losing on bogus officiating...just one besides the 2015 Doink game...where it was Manning's retirement season.
You cant...and you know it. Definitely never in the post-season. I can list 5 in that past 2 years for the Chiefs...including 3 play-off loses...one of which forced the official to retire. |

KC came back from a 3 score deficit to win a game that required 3 calls to be reviewed and overturned against NO...I dont think that's ever happened before or since the regular refs have been in place. I'm hoping KC starts getting a few calls and I'll have the sack to acknowledge it and agree unlike patriot fans.

Its like talking to a brick wall.
My good friend as a NE fan is the same way.... but when I asked him how much a fan he was before Kraft bought them he said he wasnt really in to football. Let em have their rings, once the "dynasty" is over they will scatter like cockroaches and we wont see their fans visiting other teams forums. Northeast mentality |

Can we stop with the great defensive plan by the pats nonsense. They got away with defensive holding on our receivers the entire first half.
