1961..........
Those 1961-66 Patriots went a combined 47-29-8, yet only made the POs in 1963. Until 1969, the AFL's final season, only division winners advanced to the POs, unless two teams were tied. Such was the case in '63, when both Boston and Buffalo finished 7-6-1.
p.s.: Had the '66 Patriots defeated the mediocre NYJ on the last game of that season, they would have won the AFLE and played KC for the right to go to the first AFL-NFL Championship.
