www.ryansleeper.com/50-years-of-afc-vs-nfc-matchups/1. The AFC has defeated the NFC in interconference head to head matchups in a season 29 out of the past 48 years, with a tie in 7 of those years. So they are 29-12-7. 2. Since 1996 (last 25 years), the AFC is +62 against the NFC. 3. Just last year, the AFC was +4. 4. Since 1996, the AFC has won the overall interconference battle 15 times, the NFC only 5 times, with 2 ties. 5. Since 1996, the AFC is up 14-11 in ther superbowl. So though the NFC is better this year, to say the Patriots always have an easy schedule because the AFC is worse than the NFC... the numbers just don't back up that claim. It is especially ironic to do so in this thread, when the Patriots, Bills and Jets are a combined 10-1 against the NFC East. Ever notice how Patriots fans bring actual facts to these debates while haters just bring opinions? Its similar to a democrat vs republican debate. I chalk it up to the educated vs mouthbreathers.

This has nothing to do with the Patriots having an easy schedule and division. The question that was asked (mockingly, mind you) was "why do the Pats get such an easy schedule?" The dude responded with "The AFC is shit compared to the NFC. Most of the teams are crap." My argument was that the facts do not support that being a quote/unquote "reason" the Patriots quote/unquote "always" get such an easy schedule.

Dude, seriously? The same stupid fucking post in a 3 minute span? Well klawercio, DCFan knows you have a hard head. Sometimes you need to repeat yourself when talking with the mentally challenged. THE PATRIOTS BENEFIT FROM BEING IN A PERENNIALLY WEAK DIVISION.
Got it ??Debunked

The Pats have had the easiest schedule in the NFL for the past 25 years. In the past 25 years, every division except the AFC East has had at least 2 different franchises play in a Super Bowl. The AFC East is the ONLY division that has not had at least 2 different franchises play in a Super Bowl in the past quarter-century. I just cannot help but have my suspicions about the Cheaters. Do they bug the visitors locker rooms? Hack into opposing computers and coach communications? Still videotaping signals from opposing teams? Somehow find a way to get a peek at their playbooks? Are the footballs inflated up to capacity? The schedules of who plays them at home in their favor of non divis. teams? Just because they were caught cheating and got slap on the wrists does not mean they would stop. Perhaps they have just found other ways to not get caught. Seeing how tough it is for a team to get into the SB, I have doubts that it is only great coaching and hard work for the Cheaters "success" and the SB wins******.

The Patriots record against their own division, their conference and/or against the NFC has nothing to do with them benefitting from an easy division, or easy schedule.

That is not even a debate, but the Pats are still the best team in the league. Also, your stats are wrong. The Eagles beat the Jets and Bills this season.

Why do the Pats get such an easy schedule? It's a set formula. Each division plays a division in the opposite conference, a division in their own conference, then there's their divisional games, then the 2 remaning games are against teams in the other 2 interconference divisions that finished the same as your team did. For instance, My Cardinals play the AFC North, NFC South, the Lions and the Giants(both 4th place finishes). So the AFC East play the NFC East, AFC North then 1 team each from the 2 remaining divisions. So, there's no unfair advantage. The one advantage the Patriots have had the past 20 years is that the AFC East has been mediocre the entire time.

LOL, um, OK. The schedule is set in stone with a set formula so, no, there's no conspiracy. I mean, really?

I'd like to introduce you to the trio of clowns who are either offering up the worst trolling the internet has to offer, or they are legitimately the dumbest people on the planet.

You are correct, I must have looked too quickly at the bills schedule. They are 2-1, Jets are 3-1, and Patriots are 4-0. 9-2 for those 3 teams against the NFC East, with Buffalo/Cowboys left to go.

With the help from the refs in the form of a phantom "Tripping" penalty. But it shouldn't be surprising. Ever since Walt Coleman blew the call on the Brady's fumble on the Tuck Rule and reversed a Pats' playoff loss to the Raiders, seems every season the Pats are gifted a win by the refs. I have to say that this is rich coming from a fan of a team that for decades got preferential treatment from the officials. To this day I still use the term "Cowboy call". I mean, I take it you forgot this little gem:

Next ppl will complain the Patriots keep winning Super Bowls because they're gifted nice perfect neutral fields to play on in February. The Pats win Super Bowls because: 1. They play in the least competitive division in the NFL for the past 25 years, which not only allows the Pats to pad their record and thus get a better seeding in the playoffs but also keeps the Pats fresh for the playoffs since the Pats essentially get 7 bye weeks each season while other teams are battling through a grinding schedule just to get to the playoffs. 2. The Pats are serial cheaters, with SpyGate and DeflateGate. Their MVP in last year's Super Bowl is a known PED-user. 2 instances in 20 years hardly constitutes "serial".

Got it ??OK. Who's fault is that? Theirs? Is the league purposefully keeping the Bills, Jets, and Dolphins crappy just to prop up the Patriots? Also, this might explain their getting into the playoffs every year but guess what? In the playoffs you're also playing good teams not to mention the Super Bowl. But this is what I find funny. To the haters, the Patriots not only benefit from a bad division courtesy of the league but then they cheat on top of it. LOL, um, OK.

I never said whose fault is was the Patriots are in a weak division. I just said they benefit.
