On the surface, this may seem impressive. But in four of their wins, their point differential is +115. The combined record of those 4 opponents: 1-17. And the point differential of those four teams is -242. The one game they played against a "decent team, Buffalo (4-1), they won by less than a TD. So really not that impressive. The Pats are a very good team and excellent franchise, but they benefit every season that B&B have been there by playing 6 games against perrenial dregs, and 2 games against third and fourth place teams in the AFC and NFC. Just the 6 games in their own division almost assure them of a playoff spot at worst, and HFA. Is it any wonder they've got so many SB appearances? I wish we could play 4 games against the Dolphins and the Jets every year
