Brady in seasons where he has played in more than 1 game

The Patriots won 14 division titles in 15 seasons. I feel bad for the other teams in the AFC East, can you imagine having to play them twice year in year out?

Look at their hiring and drafting decisions, especially the J.E.T.S. and Bills. Not hard to win your division with those fools.

But it is a major accomplishment. Kudos.

They need continuity in a system rather than rebuilding every couple years. The Jets had to rebuild their whole team but these these teams would be better than what they appear to be if they didn't have to play in the Patriots division.

To the Bills.

Yes in theory the other teams would look better if they weren't playing the Patriots twice a year, it's not like they are always a game out of the playoffs.

Also given the Patriots history of cheating and Tom Brady's "health guru" is a giant fraud who has been smacked by the FDA, I don't find any reason to call the Patriots great any more than I consider Lance Armstrong great. Being a fraud, means your "accomplishments" are fraudulent.

Simeon Rice and others like running backs from Thomas Jones Ladanian Tomlinson, to different picks. Plus the GM and coach weren't on the same page. Not to mention who he's had as QB The Jets have a new coach and are worse.

Bills have a great running back and have had injuries with receivers notably Sammy Watkins but they're very thin in the secondary so they need to build there.

I'm sure it does suck for fans of the rest of the AFC East, but we will never see a combo like Brady and Belichick together again for such a sustained run of excellence. I think they may have 4-5 more years left before they retire together at last, and NE really, really sucks again.
