They get 6 weeks vs the AFC east, then a bye week, when other teams like Pitt are in true bloodbath division battles nearly every week.

Been argued many times.
1. Patriots win just as much outside their division as in it.
2. Are you seriously going to tell me that Favre/Rodgers had it harder with Lions/Vikings/Bears? Colts during the Manning years with Texans/Jaguars/Titans?
