We can sit here after every game and complain about the officiating or "cheating" or whatever.

Losers complain about that shit. Winners can do what they want.

I'm not the idiot running around screaming "cheaters" at other fanbases. Like they give a shit.

I don't see anything directed towards the Eagles who won with a coach and QB Kc just had.

If you honestly think Titans/Jags/Texans has been BETTER than Jets/Dolphins/Bills over the last 15 years, then you're smoking something, because their records CLEARLY prove otherwise.

Sorry you don't like that statistics disprove your theory. Ignore the facts and go with your pre-conceived notions if you like.

I will certainly admit that some divisions (AFC North and NFC East especially) have been consistently better than the AFC East, but that isn't true across the entire NFL. Sorry.

This is not a good example for your argument- since 2 of those teams were in the playoffs last year with the Jags being serious Superbowl contenders. The Texans were a Brady hail mary from beating you guys at home. So yeah, I think the Titans Jags and Texans are MUCH better than the shitty Jets,Fins and Bills.

You keep trying to use the overall teams win and loss records to say- see, it is all the same. YES, your division is Always the same- the Jets, Fins and Bills are always the same- Always mediocre or worse as their record indicates. But other NFL divisions have been far more balanced with more teams having BIG years.

Every team in the AFC West has had a turn at the top. Our division is always far more competitive every year.

You should be happy you have such an easy setup year end and year out. Pretty much always guaranteed a winning record, a division title, and at least a wild card spot. Sweet deal for sure.

Cooks looks better on paper, and truth be told he is probably a better fit for Goff

But you're correct to point out we gave up no picks for a guy with 4 inches and at least 20 pounds on Cooks, not to mention the speed and velcro hands... Krank Dickweed can go suck eggs, whoever put him in the green needs to be shot

Even though over a 15 year period, the Jets/Fins/Bills had a better W-L than Tits/Jags/Texans? Ok.

Now that period (according to the link I posted) ended two years ago, so the data likely changed somewhat. AFC South is on the rise, I think. AFC East other than Pats doesn't seem to be.

And, obviously, TERRIBLE years, because on a NET basis, they are no better than, or actually WORSE, than the AFC East (non-Pats).

No. The Raiders have sucked ass for 15 years worse than any AFC East team on average. The Chiefs (sorry to say but it's true) are just the Dolphins West. Continually average at best. Chargers had a flash in the pan that ended about 10 years ago and have sucked ever since. Sorry but it's true.

You should be happy you have such an easy setup year end and year out. Pretty much always guaranteed a winning record, a division title, and at least a wild card spot. Sweet deal for sure.

I don't complain that they are consistently average at best. But again -- if you swap the Patriots and Packers, you think the results for the Patriots are any different? Patriots for Colts? I think the Patriots do the exact same thing they've done in the AFC East. Total domination.

Note -- Cheifs have been much better the last couple years, and I think will continue to improve. My comment on "Dolphins West" is really based on the 2001-15 or so period.

Amnorix doesn’t care if you say NE cheats. He would defend them to his dying breath. Especially when everything points to his team cheating. He has gone on and on about air pressure in differing temps and other nonsense that has nothing to do with the fact balls were stolen after refs checked em. If they weren’t trying to cheat, why steal them? It’s the same as the spy gate stuff. He knows NE did it and the NFL destroyed the tapes he knows Josh McDaniels admitted to NE filming walkthroughs after getting in trouble for the same thing in Denver.’...but he won’t admit it and will “fight for the honor” of his team till he dies.

Sad, right?

What’s the point of engaging him about it?

You think he’s gonna one day be like “yup, they cheated”

Nope

The only comparison is that somehow, both guys are already on their 3rd NFL stop.

Their success is a sham. Helped along the way from cheating in a big way, not a little way but a big way. So big they had to destroy it. Krafts influence over Roger and a division that should be ashamed of themselves for sitting back and just taking it. Refs have favored Brady case and point last season 10 times they got the ball at the goal line from PI. 4 tds were over turned by replay in their favor. One was a game winner and Cooks lost control when he hit the ground in the Houston game but they gave it to them. That also won the game. Its bullshit and finally its almost over for them. Keeping Brady and losing Jimmy is a screw up that cost them 15 more years of good QB play.

I wouldn't be surprised if more comes out on the Pats cheating. In one of the playoff games one of the announcers noted Matt Patricia has a reputation as the only DC in the NFL that knows the protection rules for every opposing Oline in the NFL. What are some ways he could figure that out? Well, Patricia is smart, but would it be beyond Belichik to have recording mics imbedded in the field and/or have defensive lineman wearing recorders in their helmet (likely unknown even to the defensive lineman wearing them)? They get the recordings, match it up to the gamefilm, and voila, can go back and match up every line and protection call. It's not something that would help you that week, but there are only so many Oline coaches and you do it over a period of years Belichik will have a database for every system. It matches up with his defensive philosophy of eschewing pass rushers. He doesn't need expensive pass rushers if he knows he can create multiple pressures a game via knowing the offensive protections.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

They've only been CAUGHT three times, but they are also paying their QB under the table. That's four things we KNOW of. Who knows just how big of frauds they are??
