BTW, the Patriots schedule seems like a cakewalk this upcoming season. Just looking at the opposition, the Chiefs and Eagles look like the only teams that will be a hurdle.

 

I'm surprised the NFL gave us the weaker opponents to start the season. This sets up well for us.

That's one of the keys to their success: the rest of their division is very sub-par and has been for their entire reign. 6 gimme games on the schedule every year (with the occasional odd shocker like the Miami Miracle of last year). It's one of (if not THE) the weakest divisions in the NFL. Nothing new there.

Honestly this take is so overstated and unequivocally false. A few minutes of research will show you the Pats have a better winning percentage against the rest of the league then they do their own division. The Bills are the only team the have dominated year in and year out.

And this defense is overstated. It doesn't have much to do with the Pats record against any team - division or not.

It has everything to do with the final records of those other 3 teams year in and year out. You win your division by having the best record of the 4 teams. Those 3 teams are almost always perennially between the 4-12 and 8-8 mark.

always the case, they have had such a cake division for so long, and the AFC is usually top heavy.

Pats are a great team, but their greatness has been boosted heavily with just the shear amount of shots they get at the playoffs because of schedules like this
