And you made my point. BB had it easier than Brady. Couldn't be that hard for for a defensive coach like Bill to gameplan against the motley crew of qbs in this division. Brady literally doesn't step on the field against those QBs. It was Bill's job to get the defense to stop them and it wasn't that hard.
Brady did have to deal with some good defenses in this division over the years. The Jets defense under Rex Ryan might have been the best in the league. Miami's pass rush wasn't bad either they were in the top 10 a bunch of times. Even the Bills defense in the mid '10's with Rex Ryan and Jim Schwartz was quite good. McDermott had the Bills as the #2 scoring defense in the league in his second season there right behind us. One time all 3 of our division rivals had top 10 scoring defenses.
Definitely harder for Brady in the division than it ever was for Bill and his defense.
Look I know what you are trying to do here.
it helped them both. Bill certainly had an easier time game planning against other teams' offenses, but Brady didn't have to worry about getting into a shootout with those crappy AFCE teams which can put additional pressure on a QB.
