... and have now lost 3, and it's not like they've been playing the 73 Dolphins or 75 Steelers as their opponents. If it wasn't for miracles in the last two SBs before this one, they'd be 3-5.

"were nowhere near that good."

Yes they just went 2/2 in AFC Championships, won a Super Bowl, and almost repeated.  They were clearly a borderline playoff team that got lucky.

11-5 isn't "borderline playoff", it's solid playoff, division champ level.

But when your record is inflated by soft schedule, you get to play home playoff games in cozy Foxboro, it all adds up to further advancement than is probably warranted.

And if it wasn't for miracles in 07 and '11 and some botched kicking tonight they'd be 8-0. The what if game works both ways.
