As are most divisions with a dominant team of the era. Strong teams create a power vacuum and teams struggle to find consistent playoff appearances which leads to more turnover and constant poor records. Same shite had happened in the SEC with Saban.



Using a college conference analogy is a false equivalency. The fact is, the AFC East is pretty much the ONLY division that has been this top-heavy thru the years. AFC South when Peyton was dominating was close, I'll give you that, but no other division has had such disparity between 1 team and the other 3 as the AFC East.

Factually that is incorrect. AFC has had a better record against the NFC in all but 4 of Brady's seasons as a pro.



Why does record of NFC vs. AFC mean the AFC is better? That's like saying the AFC is better bc they won the Pro Bowl this year. Again, false equivalency. The NFC is WAY more competitive on average than the AFC. There's a new team emerging from it every season. shite, 13-3 doesn't even guarantee you a bye in the NFC. But it damn sure does in the AFC.

Sorry you are letting your perception lead you eyes instead of what actually happened



Again, I think Brady IS the GOAT. I am in awe of what he and Belichik have accomplished. But I also have eyes, and a brain, and logic, and I am very willing to point out the TRUTH that their division and conference lend them an easier road to every SB. I'm sorry that YOU can't be reasonable and objective.

It's perfectly ok to admit they had an easier road. Hell, you can even take the stance of "Welp, they played the cards they were dealt and got it done!" But to just blindly refuse to acknowledge it, and then outright deny it, makes you wrong. Suck it.

There's also never been a team to dominate for this long. Especially in the salary cap era

You are saying the AFC has been a shittier conference for most of his career then how would the head to head record not matter? Isn't that how we determine which teams are better?

You are picking out certain years in which the NFC has had more competitive seeding and using it across the board. That's silly.

That's like me saying "oh 7-9 doesn't get you a home game in the AFC but it sure as hell does in the NFC"

Tell me what metric you have that the NFC has been better than the AFC over the past 17 years.
