The numbers say the opposite.
How about a division with Jacksonville, Houston, and Tennessee? They aren't better. The numbers make this case easily.
I've run the numbers excluding the Pats and the AFC East is behind the AFC North but ahead of the AFC South and West. Sorry. I've got data and you've got your "perception." I win.
OK, we can all agree that the AFCE is a week Div,
but how is that NE fault?
Hammer doesn't get it and neither do you. AFC East (excluding the Pats) does well against the other AFC divisions over the last four years. The numbers prove it.
Continue going back 4 years (even though the division was good 4 years ago and has only been weak the last 3 years) and continuing to ignore NFC games as if they somehow don't matter. Yep, you aren't cherry picking your stats or anything.
Domination is literally your only argument for the rest of the division being weak, and it's a laughable one. Make a real point, I dare you.
Some of your fellow Patriots fans can't.
It's not. It's a credit to them that they've been so consistently good since 2001.
The Broncos have been solid all year but the Pats seem to be hitting their stride right now.
It's going to be a good game.
Hitting their stride?
They beat the COLTS.
At home.
Barely beat the Ravens.
And lost to the 'Fins.
And yet you get to play the Jets, Bills and 'Fins twice a year. They suck. It's that simple.
Hitting their stride?
They beat the COLTS.
At home.
Barely beat the Ravens.
And lost to the 'Fins.
