It's a good thing for Brady that the team he's facing has Peyton on it instead of Eli.

He's lost two Superbowls. That's something Bradshaw, Montana & Aikman never did. Therefore in my book he can't be the best QB of All Time.

If you are arguing that the Fins, Jets and Bills are good teams (which is what would constitute a good division), you're nuts.

They are no worse on average than the bottom three teams in most other divisions. The numbersposted have shown this.

Ok, I guess just about every fan outside the AFC East is wrong.

The idea that losing the Super Bowl is somehow worse than not making it has always baffled me.


Second is way worse than fifth, or tenth, or whatever, right?

Perceptions can be skewed. The numbers clearly show that the east has been better than both the west and the south the last few years. I have done the numbers longer term in the past and they show the same thing. The bottom three of the east are and have been consistently competitive with the bottom three of other divisions in records out of division.

Maybe that's why the Patriots haven't won a SB in 10 years. Those powerhouse division rivals have beaten them down so bad that they just run out of gas in the playoffs.

I think it's kind of common knowledge the AFC East is a weak division and has been for a few years.

Every fan in the NFL openly admits this except for Patriots fans. Why? It embarrasses them when they ponder their annual free ticket to a 1st-round bye.

The Patriots in any other division in football? No playoffs.

Have you ever heard a Dolphins, Jets or Bills fan try to deny it? Nope, only Patriots fans. Mention this fact and they get really angry, really fast.

Guess you haven't seen what the Patriots have done to the AFC South Champions the last two years.

"If only the Titans where in the AFC East, they'd go to the playoffs regularly." - the mantra that helps Hammer sleep at night.

Then why do the numbers say the opposite?

The AFC East has had a representative in 9 of the last 12 AFCCGs since the conference expanded to 4 divisions.
