So, we've gone all year with no media person mentioning the fact that we saw a Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins resurgence the very year that the Patriots had their first losing record in 2 decades.
As though this was just a coincidence.
I know Patriots fans have long pointed out that the Patriots AFCE record over the last 20 years (.74) is the same as their record against the rest of the AFC and the NFC (.74) and in fact it's the exact same record in the playoffs (.74).
But here we are. 20 years of ineptitude from the Bills and Phins (Jets at least got to 2 different championship games) and the Patriots were constantly knocked for having it easy (not once did I hear one of the media guys mention that losing to the Patriots, and never winning the division or going to the playoffs, tends to take the starch out of your prospects).
Oh, but it's a coincidence that these teams are now up the very same year (after 20 years!!!!!) that the Patriots are down.
