    New England won this conference by default.

    I think the window is finally opening for a few teams to jump in the picture as I could see Cincy, Indy, and Denver missing the playoffs next year.

    we finished 4-12 and they beat us by what in two games? 3 points? But you have to be amazed at how they put points on the board. Having Brady makes a ton of difference over a lot of teams.

    Indy is set for the playoffs for the next 5 years in that joke of a division.

    4-12 to 12-4?

    I'd pee my pants.

    Colts are going to be around a long time as long as Luck is there...Its like the old Colts.

    Nothing is wide open in the NFL.

    AFC East will get tougher too...But all you need to do is make the playoffs and you have a shot to play at your best

    Sadly we were never prepared for any other game.

    The league is year to year but I don't think it's any more or less wide open than any other year.

    Why is that?

    Did Brady, Gronk , and Bellicheat retire of something?

    Did you watch what they did to the Colts today?

    I want to beat those guys as much as anyone but don't think it will be easy.

    A QB could make that happen, sadly, it doesn't look like that type of QB will be available this off season.

    The Colts didn't belong in this game today. Come on. Next year the cheats won't be so lucky.

    I'll be pretty surprised if we aren't dog shit next year. I'm thinkin 6-10 on deck.

    Maybe a little better if there's a FA haul and some draft picks contribute.

    Another well thought out thread, AFC is wide open? Are the Patriots moving to the NFC? And whose our QB again?

    How were they lucky? Pats schedule was brutal this year. They beat almost every division leader by 20+ points, at home and on the road.

    The AFC will be wide open when Brady retires.

    We'll be nowhere near good enough to mount a challenge for the division next year unless we luck out in the draft/FA.

    The Pats offense: someone is always open and Brady is basically untouched. That always works. They do a lot of picking and such. But the real key is how consistent he is. And he is pretty accurate. And he has been running that offense for years. It will be curious to see if Seattle can pressure him like they did Manning. They could not get after a crippled Aaron Rodgers. The Pats improved this year. I think next year will be pretty dreary, contention-wise.

    This sort of thing is said and written every year, and every year NE is in the Super Bowl.
