Corresponding to the games Brady isn't suspended?

I sent an letter of protest to the league office and in it I called for a year-long ban and a $25M fine of Brady for "fostering a culture of rampant cheating." Any other player in this league would be facing a lifetime ban after all these offenses, not to mention his perjury and obstruction of justice.
We sent a dozen high priced hookers. Let me know how your letter did please.

They still win quite often

Except when they play on the road, then they fit right in the AFC East "competitive caliber". Getting HFA for the Pats is more important than the other three AFC East teams getting a NFL QB.

Gosh, that division sucks!

Ok quick starting pulling up the numbers of what oponent NE faces at the end of the year. Be sure to grade on a curve when determining what end of year means. That way all the knuckleheads here can try and quantify their POV.
or just use common sense???:noidea:

The League should make them play the Titans and Chargers every week. That would be hard.

One doesn't have to negate the other. It can be both.

Well, then you forgot to add "the Pats are good only because the NFL purposefully gives them easy schedules". I think Hammer is a fan of that one.

Wait. So are the Pats good because they cheat or are the Pats good because the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins suck?
You guys need to stay on message here.
Yes.

So what I've actually learned from this thread. Pats win a lot of games for several different reasons, none of which is the fact that the team is actually good.

Then you skipped a bunch because a few posts said the Pats are good. I even said they are very, very good.

Really?

Option 2 is the reason Option 1 is happening with consistency

Pats have been great in many of the last 15 seasons

But they have NOT been great in EVERY of the last 15 seasons

Its the division that that makes it appear so

And in those "off" years for the Pats, in a tougher division, they would have not sailed into the playoffs, they would have found the road a lot more difficult

The Pats have been a solid organization ever since Brady got there. I've never said otherwise. But it's totally fair to question if they'd still have just as many wins and division titles if you moved Cleveland into the AFC east and put the Pats in the AFC North. It's a totally different level of competition. You seem to be taking the obvious fact that the Dophins, Jets, and Bills have been bad to mean that the Pats haven't been good. Nobody is saying that, only that playing against those three teams 6 times a year has helped. It would help any team. This should be easy to grasp.

No one is questioning that the Pats suck or are bad.

The point is they have a shot at the division (thus the playoffs), even though they get hit by injuries, have a bad draft/ free agency, etc., because the division is bad.

No doubt. Not saying the Pats are bad by any means. They are a great team, one of the very best ever. It's still true though that your division isn't and hasn't been good except for you guys. This isn't a slight against the Pats it's just the way it's been. Not the Pats fault the other teams can't get their shit together.

They do well because they are very, very good, and they deflate footballs, but mostly because they are very good. Your division is still bad though.

Huh? Because they have a good team.

What does this have to do with the fact that the rest of the division sucks?

Yeah, no one thinks the Pats win becaue they're good. jiFfM.jpg

Could it be a little of column A, a little of column B?

The Patriots have been really good. And the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills have been mostly crap. I mean, the Bills haven't made the playoffs since 1999, the Dolphins haven't made it since 2008, and the Jets since 20010. Even the Raiders have been to the playoffs since the Bills have!

Here's another one that I forgot about.

Well let's break this down. How much of their success is due to cupcake AFC East (or whatever other excuse you want to make for while the Pats have excelled) and how much is due to them being good?

The Pats are good, Brady is the problem because he completes 2-yard slants that go for 15 yards and perfect 20-yard passes on the numbers to monstruous, wide open TEs. Get with the program, my friend.
