My ONLY point is that the AFC East isn't the far-and-away worst division in football, which many here seemed to be suggesting a few months ago.
I don't know what all was said RE: AFCE strength or even the narrative that your dynasty is illigitimate.
I tried to stay out of all the nonsense trolling that the brotherfucker Cheatriot fans that all migrated over here slinging, but since it seems my position is unclear, here it is.
1. The AFCW Sucks (Including several games that we sucked) - Thank fucking God. Last thing we need is team draining battles before the playoffs. Having a weak ass division certainly helps a playoff run. i don't want to hear the iron sharpens iron shit. Coaches hone teams, not knock down drag outs every week. After 16 games, the team will be ready for the playoffs.
2. The AFCE Sucks. Here you are crowing that the AFCE beat the AFCW 2 out of 3, when it turns out 2 out of the 3 have been home games for the East. Huh, some leap of logic there. And sure, the Jets curbstomped the Faid (Thanks Jets), but the Raiders travel east historically bad. Drawing any conclusions from the games other than 1. Both divisions (probably including our teams) are bad and 2. Homefield matters is kind of fucking ridiculous.
3. Your dynasty is legitimate - and I want one. You guys cheat - no question. You guys get far better officiating than any other fucking team in the league - no question. But you still won the games. It pisses me off and I hate it, especially the officiating hogshit, but it's there and I wish we had it. Hopefully we will, but we don't have the best coach that ever lived, so we probably won't.
4. Your dynasty has been aided by 20 years of largely god awful division play. The Bills had a couple teams that weren't bad, Miami had, what? One, and Rex had a couple good years with the Jets. That's why it's rich. After all the hogshit excuses you massholes had to "play" to win the division, now you're crowing because the home teams won? That is indeed rich dude. [Reply]
I came in here ready to shit on the AFCE, but outside 2012 and 2018, every other season in the last decade has not seen more than 2 teams with a losing record.

I freely acknowledge that that is true. HERE, though I'm not tryign to be one and don't think I am being one for establishing that the people on here who were trying to utterly trash the AFC East were wrong.
The Chiefs are coming off a bye week. There isn't a tremendous amount of other football stuff to talk about. Bit of a lull before the Pats/Chiefs game and the gearing up for the playoffs.
Why? Seriously. I'm just showing that what people were so strenuously arguing a month or two ago was off base. [Reply]

The only AFCW/AFCE game remaining this year is Pats/Chiefs. In the other three games, the AFC East won the head to head matchups 2-1. All three games were blowouts. The Chargers wiped out the Dolphins, while the Jets spanked the Raiders and the Bills strangled the Broncos. Combined score doesn’t look good for the West. The East scored a combined total of 64 points to the West’s 36.
In fact, it seems reasonably clear that the third best team in the combined AFCE/W (if you assume Pats/Chiefs are 1st and 2nd in what order you like), is the Bills.

It's not about that. It's about refuting the bullshit effort of idiots to pretend that the Patriots dynasty is somehow illegitimate for reasons that make no sense.
Whether the dynasty continues or not isn't actually all that relevant. [Reply]

Nobody said it wasn’t legit. The formula is fair. Not much the Patriots can do to alter who they play and how well the other teams in the division compete from year to year.
They’ve still had an easy road. And I don’t buy for a single second that the Bills are a tough opponent. Neither should you. [Reply]

Likewise, how is the performance of the AFCE this year relevant to what people have said about it in past years?
Btw, probably more than half the league could be 8-3 with Buffalo's schedule. They've beaten no one. [Reply]

Buffalo has played 1 team with a winning record...ONE. That's amazing... [Reply]
