will have made the Conference Championship game

Dude had a first round bye 75% of his career. He had to win 1 playoff game to make the AFCCG every year, as the undisputed favorite basically every year.

If the Phins, Jets, and Bills weren't so goddamn pathetic that the Pats could waltz to 13 wins every year, even if they still won the division every year, that stat would look a lot different.

I don't say that to minimize in any way his success in the playoffs with NE or this year, but that "stat" is dumb.
