The East last year wasn't a weak division. It had a 12 win team, a 10 win team, a 7 win team and a 6 win team (34 wins in the division, equal to the West and South and 1 ahead of the North). Not spectacular, but I don't quite get what people are talking about. I'd say the Jets were a pretty clear playoff team: the Chiefs and Broncos did little to prove they were better than the Jets and you're going into dangerous grounds if you want to argue that an 8 win team should go in the playoffs before them. That, and they were better than every NFC team except the Bears.
The AFCE was the strongest division in football last season. It had 35 wins, not 34, and that was the most in football.
