mods lock it down i think i just answered my own question while typing it out

[Kblaze8855]

Anyone who watches football knows the Pats record is inflated(for lack of a better word) by playing the Dolphins, Jets, and Bills for 6 games a year for 20 years of them all being a joke most of the time. The other 3 teams combine for like 10 10 win seasons since 2000....

That said...all 3 are also held back record wise by having to play the Patriots twice a year....and....you cant make the superbowl by just beating the division. So its not really an apt comparison.

Them having easier paths due to never playing a first round helps...and is influenced by a garbage division....but still. You dont just beat the AFC east and be in the superbowl.

Imagine telling a mod to lock down your thread in your OP. Like at a certain point of typing that garbage you realized you were a loser but decided to share anyway.

While the Patriots' 86-24 record against the AFC East is staggering, their winning percentage (134-44, .753) against everyone else is the best in the NFL, while they have 25 more non-division victories than any other team.

New England's record against eventual division winners (24-14) makes them the only team in the NFL with a winning record in this category. Against teams who eventually made the playoffs in a given season, the Patriots (60-33, .645) are the best in the league, with the Steelers at a not-so-close second with a .480 winning percentage.

Their success against teams who finished with a winning record (75-45, .625) is also an NFL-best mark, with the Steelers trailing by a considerable margin at a .440 winning percentage.

It's settled then. The Patriots don't just take care of business against the AFC East, but no team is even close to their level of success against teams outside their division.

you don't have a 6/9 SB record with all 3 losses essentially coming down to 1 possession because of your Division/Conference.

Peyton Played in the AFC south, Aaron Rodgers in his prime years was beating the lowly Bears, Vikings and the (lol)lions

When you're so good your division rivals look like shit
