My mind spits with an enormous kickback.
the nfl could have had epic rivalries across the board between brady and ben and brady and peytonSure. New England was fundamentally more sound at the end of the day. #1 coach, top 3 QB, top scoring D. Really tough to beat that combination even on a good day and thats why I think they are the prohibitive favorite as new challengers need to emerge from the AFC pool.
The list of QBs that New England faced last year was embarrassing for the NFL imo. The modern game is pretty much based on the AFC having Brady, Peyton and one or two elite defenses every year. The AFC really needs to step up because its basically the NFL version of the NBA East where its one big star (Lebron/Brady) sleepwalking over everyone else.
they moved peyton out of the AFC east...and ben never really panned out as a rivalry the way we and the league probably hoped.
yes, last years QB opposition was embarrassing...but that speaks more to the state of QB play in the NFL than it does anything else.
