So are these teams actually good, or are they just in a trash conference and get a free ride to the superbowl?

So are these teams actually good, or are they just in a trash conference and get a free ride to the superbowl?

Yes.

They're the two best teams in football. It'll basically be the real Super Bowl.

They are trash.

If Cowboys were in the AFC they would have won several more superbowls.

>Both teams 3-1 against the NFC

They're actually good, not their fault the rest of the AFC is trash.

>probably have to play each other
>"free ride to super bowl"

the titans were memed to a win yesterday because the league wanted to eliminate the greater threat to new england: the chiefs

Lol its a free ride if the same team is in your way and you are guaranteed a bye week every year.

Chiefs vs. A playoff win at home

A tale as old as time.

Your misery sustains him

also 3-1 combined against the teams that made the playoffs

>steelers blew out vikings
>pats blew out saints
>pats blew out falcons
>pats lost nail biter to panthers
im tired of stupid people

Both

its the same autists who meme The Patriots get free wins in the AFC East, without knowing that they have a better record outside of the division. Same sort of lame excuses for the Steelers success.

They're the best two teams of the last 15 years. Plain and Simple.

They're very good, and the AFC is a cupcake conference.

As opposed to the NFC, which is a streaky conference, and whoever represents them in the Owl is almost guaranteed to lose to the AFC team, regardless of who it is

>AFC is a cupcake conference.

2017
Strength of Schedule (+ is tougher schedule - is easier)

AFC:
Bills -0.48
Steelers -1.10
Patriots -1.24
Titans -2.13
Jaguars -2.77
OUT:
Chiefs -1.33

NFC:
Panthers +2.07
Falcons +1.89
Saints +1.55
Vikings +0.99
Eagles -0.71
OUT:
Rams -0.15

They both have winning superbowl records. Conference has nothing to do with it.

It's not their fault the conference is trash now.

It used to be at least a 4 or 5 team battle every year between Brady's Pats, Manning's Colts/Broncos, Flacco's Ravens, and Ben's Steelers.

Now it's just Brady and Ben, and if Ben can't win with the best WR and RB in the league this year, he'll most likely retire. As much as everyone loves to hate Brady, he's the last of a dying breed, and in a few years we'll get nothing but dogshit games with shitty quarterbacks battling to get their teams into field goal range for 60 minutes, as we've already seen so far in this year's wild card round.

pats afraid of le meme team with 2nd half pressure issues

kys

they benefit from being in a trash conference so yes.

pretty sure he's talking about this year m8

>flaccos ravens

lets be honest, flacco never had anything to do with those teams being contenders outside of one year

Patriots have been inflated by being in a trash division with 6 easy wins a season. If the packers or seahawks were in that division they would have 8 super bowls

Steelers beat the Vikings.

Patriots beat the Saints but lost to the Panthers.

AFC has a slight edge again unless one of the NFC teams get hot.

Keep telling yourself that

pats should have beat the panthers too

gilmore had 2 holding penalties in a row away from the play on the last drive that gave Carolina first downs

>beat the best team from the other conference most of the time
>conference mattering

fuck aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaff

LMAO I didn't know we were having a butthurt party! Woohoo!!

Pats. Steelers. Sometimes the Broncos and Ravens if they make the playoffs. Those are the only AFC teams that have legitimacy

>AFC won 4 of last 5 superbowls
>weak conference

k

Name one afc east team that has been a legitimate threat to anyone or contender in the last 17 years

the jets beat the patriots in the playoffs

So why do the Patriots have a better record against the rest of the NFL than the AFC East?

Hint: It's because they're better than everyone else.

anyone got the updated version

The Patriots

>play 6 soft as fuck games while everyone else is beat up

On a 1 in a million miracle

Yeah because it's only been Brady/Manning/Rothlisberger barring Flacco that one time

gotchu famurai

>Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have won 4 of the last 5 owls
You aren't making a case for the AFC mate

Great parity NFL. I'll stick to superior MLB and NHL

And now we'll get Bortles to start a new cycle

They're good but the discrepancy between them and the rest is really large

Brady is 48-15 vs the NFC in his career maybe the weak 4 games he plays against them each year is why he always has a bye
