Pats are AFC Division Champs

[TomPatriot]

I'm thinking Pats/Cowboys. How great would that be?

Big O Line. Best in the NFL.

Look. We're on it. My men are working round the clock, year in year out.

If yo my think about it, it is a truly incredible record given the constraints of a salary cap!

Should be 13 years straight.

Its sad that division championships seem so "yeah, this again" to us.. Most fanbases would love three straight.

It shouldn't seem that way. It wasn't this way 25+ years ago. And it wasn't even as prevalent when I started following this team in 94. That's why we should take every divisional championship, every playoff game, every playoff win, every Super Bowl win, heck every win period as their own entity of superiority over all the other 31 jabroni NYJFL* franchises.

Nice acknowledgement from the practice player of the year ..
(the last remaining member of original 2106 Pats PS alongside Barker)



(don't worry about the grammar there .. he almost certainly means a part .. not apart;
looking forward to see him being a part of the group in 2017 ..)

Funny how the two they lost, the opponent didn't even have more wins.

3 way tie in 02 and 11-5 in 08.

The only downside of the week is that Pats will probably need to go all out and win in Miami to get the HFA.
Hope also here they can turn over last years script!

Could be one of the more interesting week 17 games for the Pats in a long time. Miami might still be playing for a spot instead of just closing their season out.

glorious

on a slightly different note, 7 years in a row with a first round bye: 1 SB win

perhaps the first round bye is slightly overrated?

No, it's valuable to advance without playing.

That being said, it's time to win another one.
