If you aren't gifted a division championship for nearly 20 years, some of it changes. No knock on Pats. What is the winning % of these other three teams in the AFC East over the last 18 seasons??? Gonna look it up.
Well, better than I thought. Jets .46 win % with four 10-win seasons in last 18, Dolphins same .46 win % and four 10-win seasons, Bills .41 win %, no 10-win seasons. I guess it's that even in their good seasons, a sense of dysfunctionality hangs over the Dolphins and Jets. On and on. This year a good example. Dolphins, well we have some talent, we're 3-0, Pats off to a bad start, we go to Foxboro and lay down by 30, then start losing everywhere. Still, I'd estimate that eight 10-win season over 18 seasons by an entire division minus the best team is pretty bad. I realize they gotta play the Patriots twice and the Patriots get to play them twice.
8 out of 54 on ten win seasons must be sub-par. Never mind. This hypothesis isn't shaping up just right.
