Yeah, the Broncos and Raiders failed miserably in their arms race but at least those teams tried to upgrade. The Bills spent nearly 20 years trotting out losers at QB. The Jets never did better than Chad Pennington and the Dolphins were satisfied with average.
The Wilson and Payton pairing failed but the Donkies tried. They didn't sit pat (pun intended) with Drew Lock.
Brady had it made. It is almost like the 1950s Yankees where the competition was OK with second place because they made money when NY came to town.

There was that 2 year run with Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez that DID temporarily dethrone the Patriots in that 2010-2011 area. So there was 1 team that did make it interesting for a bit.
But other than that, yeah, the AFC East seemed totally content to just roll over and die for the Pats.
