Allow me to step in. I already broke this down last year, remember? And let's keep in mind the Patriots lost at home last year in week 17 to the Dolphins (because billychuck's defense couldn't stop a 3-12 team from marching down the field and scoring a TD in the closing seconds), which cost the Pats a bye. After all this, let me know which season you think the Patriots benefitted from their division. Better yet, explain why they benefit from their division when they beat every other division at the same clip. Come up with an actual argument, it's all I ask. In 2018-19 the Patriots were the only team in the AFC East that had a winning record. They lost a division game in mid-December, how did that help them? It ended up costing them the #1 seed, otherwise they would've finished 12-4, tied with the Chiefs (who the Patriots beat in the regular season). Didn't matter, the Pats won the AFC championship game in Arrowhead anyway. They lost to 5 teams with a losing record that year, go figure. They also beat 4 playoff teams with at least 10 wins, including two 12 win teams. Their division sure helped them out though. Bad teams did better against them that year than good ones did! So I'll ask again, which season do you think the Patriots benefitted from their division? A genuine argument, please.
