You including ‘96 and ‘85, or just in the Belichick/Brady era?
That's including 85 and 96 which I would put as our worst and 2nd worst SB teams respectively.

Yep, that’s what I had figured. Here’s hoping for a nice stretch run into February.That's including 85 and 96 which I would put as our worst and 2nd worst SB teams respectively.
Yeah, there are some legitimate possibilities, particularly in the FL games, like you said. I guess it just feels like maybe we win a couple of those games in most years, that’s all.Considering that Matt Patricia and Dan Pees are at DET and TEN respectively, I am not that caught up that the Pats lost to them because even 'mediocre' teams became superior when they have inside info about our playbook and tendencies.
JAX & MIA - I suspect that both players and coaches are unable to operate @ their usual level of coolness when the weather is above 70.

Who we play, it would be either 3 or 4. It could not be 6, it could only be 5, if both seed 5 and 6 advance. (not likely)
2011 was worse than 96 Imo. 96 was a good team and the 2nd best team in the conference. 2011 was good only on one side of the ball. There’s a reason why the 2011 team beat zero winning teams during the season and were lucky to beat one winning team in the playoffs (Ravens). There’s also a reason why those Pats lost to a very average Giants team in the SB.
The 1996 Pats would have rolled the Giants.
understood.It's not as 'unlikely' as you might think.
Most years (including this one) the best non division winner is better than the worst division winner. So a #5 seed win is almost expected over the #4 seed. So that wouldn't really be an upset.
It all comes down to the #6 beating the #3. So sure, still better odds that the 5 and 6 don't advance together, but not as crazy as you people may think (since 5 should actually be favored in widl card weekend).
