I just read that the Pats' had the easiest strength of schedule this year. So I looked it up. Yep. 32 of 32. For comparison sake, we were 21 of 32. Their biggest marquee win was over the Steelers.... but they didn't have Big Ben.

Just look at who Tom Brady played from week 5 on:

Browns
Bengals
Steelers (no Big Ben)
Bills
Seahawks (loss)
49ers
Jets
Rams
Ravens
Broncos
Jets
Dolphins

My goodness, this guy missed 4 games due to cheating, then came back and played a schedule softer than the Stay Puft Marshallow Man and people want to give him the MVP? Give me a break.

Please, please, please let us play the Pats in the Super Bowl. I think they'd be easier than the Packers or Falcons.

I posted this in another thread.....glad someone else finally noticed it as well.

New England isn't a power house this season and I'm willing to say will struggle to get out of divisional round

Excellent find. That schedule seems ridiculously easy. I think the Chiefs may beat them.

Beat the best and you'll be the best -- that's the way it goes. It's high time to return to the glory days.

We just need to make it happen. The Pats are the elite of the NFL. Beat them and we'll be the same.

And also... since our 90s run... the pats have been the dynasty talk.

Be nice if 90s dynasty franchise took out current dynasty franchise. For me... :)

7 of those 12 games were against teams picking in the top ten this year.

This is probably the weakest Patriots team in years, but the league is so down this year that they look like juggernauts anyway. That said, who in the AFC can beat them? The Chiefs have the dink-and-dunk bus driver chump everyone accuses Dak of being at QB, and a head coach who has some of the biggest 4th quarter choke jobs in league history on his resume. The Steelers have the talent, but found a way to blow 4 games they had no business losing and are wildly inconsistent in general. All the other AFC playoff teams have dead quarterbacks.

The Patriots offense is probably about where it's ranked, they have played against good defenses, and while Gronk is out their offensive line is playing way better than last year - Brady has been virtually untouched all year. They are really deep in "good but not great" players at running back and wide receiver, so if there is no one guy who can kill you, there is nobody you can safely ignore either. Their defense on the other hand is probably league average, but has been massively inflated to "#1 scoring defense" by playing so meany teams with garbage QBs.

I think the Chiefs will beat them straight up. KC is way overdue for a Super Bowl appearance.

You haven't watched KC play if you think they are only dink and dunk

Wonder if KC is going to be like KC under Marty or most of the eagles years under Andy Reid....in other words, good in the regular season but just can't get to the super bowl. (I said most with the eagles).
