This is a naive and jealous comment. The patriots have destroyed everyone in the league for a long time. If what you said had any bearing, then they would lose in the playoffs. Which rarely happens.

Not a jealous comment. I thnk there is alot of truth to it. While the Cowboys get criticized for beating up on the hapless Giants and Skins for the last couple of years. The Patriots feasted on the Dolphins, Jets and Bills for more than a decade and no one seems to criticize them for it playing in an easy division.

That also gives the Patriots an advantage during the playoffs because they have home field advantage all the time. So yes they have a major advantage playing in the easiest division all the time and its not even funny.

Since 2001 (Not including the Super Bowls)- Patriots have played in 31 playoff games & 23 have been at home. Only two Super Bowls saw Patriots play road playoff games and make it to the Super Bowl, otherwise they failed to make it to the big game.

Regular season (excludes this year) records, since 2001:
Buffalo Bills 119-169 Avg win total 6.6 wins
Miami Dolphins 133-155 Avg win total 7.38 wins
New York Jets 132-156 Avg win total 7.33 wins

Thats because they won superbowls and beat everyone else. Your comment has no bearing.
