Oh look the Patriots actually played a decent team and got their arses handed to them.

The AFC East is such a security blanket for the Pats. Abysmal teams beyond a decent Pats team. What's it been? Besides two years of Jets smoke and mirrors looking decent, maybe almost 2 decades of utter crap in that division beyond the Pats.

Love when they lose. Their strength of schedule and victory finally hit a decent opponent.

Not very often though is it.

Curious which top NFL team you root for. Considering you love when The Patriots lose, and if i had to guess which team you follow, i would say its probably either Seattle Seahawks or the Atlanta Falcons.

If you paid any attention you'd know I was a Seahawks fan since their expansion in 1976. But yeah, guilty as charged.

Their legend must come with the asterisk *AFC East

They play the easiest schedule.

Guess who plays the hardest schedule for the remainder of this season. It starts with Sea.

Meanwhile NFC West: Cardinals, 49ers, Rams have all had only 3 or 4 winning seasons in the last 20 years. 5 winning seasons at an absolute push.

Seattle themselves have had it ' ok ' in recent years. Its only now the NFC West is toss up between 3 teams and its great for the neutral.

In that time frame The Patriots have won the AFC championship nine or ten times. Their legend comes with a !
 

That PI call (Baker on Cooper) on 3rd & 6 at 23-18 was an absolute joke. Barely brushed him.

When people ask which NFL team is the 'Everton' of the league, for me it's the Giants; Always seem to be on the end of bad decisions from officials, good players but poor league record and a head coach that 90% of the fans would cut loose.

Since 1998 (including that year) the Rams, 49ers and Cardinals have all had 6 seasons with winning records.

Since the re-alignment of the NFC West in 2002 I think the NFC West has produced 6 NFC conference champions compared with 5 for the NFC South, 4 for the NFC East and 2 for the NFC North.

I agree that the NFC West teams have been poor in general over the last 20 years but when they've briefly been good they've managed to advance deep in the play offs. Compare that to someone like Green Bay who have had a winning record for most seasons since the re-alingment in 2002. Only made the Super Bowl once in that time though.

Most of those good teams had Kurt Warner at the helm? (Except those led by Russell Wilson?)

Not really in the post 2002 era.

49ers reached a Super Bowl with Kapernick and had a winning record for 3 seasons on the bounce (1.5 with Alex Smith I think)

Rams got to a Super Bowl with Jared Goff.

Arizona got the Super Bowl (and had 2 winning season records) with Warner at QB.

If you go back to 1998 (and before the re-alignement of division in 2002) then Warner's time at the St Loius Rams does come into the equation. To be fair he got to 2 Super Bowls, winning 1 of them.
