How do the Patriots manage to get the weakest strength of schedule every season? I know they play the Dolphins, Jets and Bills twice but that's six games out of sixteen. For a commissioner who's supposedly less than thrilled with New England, I would think he could have done a little more to make their schedule competitive. The Patriots schedule is 45 points weaker than the next weakest schedule.

Yeah, funny that the two weakest schedules are AFC top seed teams.

The league looooooooooves the Pats ... remember that first SB they won came after they beat the Raiders (in the AFC championship game) on that awwwwwful "tuck rule" call when Brady got sacked and fumbled

It helps to play in the weakest division in the NFL.

Good, let 'em have the weakest schedule in the league. Let 'em go 16-0 again. Let 'em start believing their own press about how they are the greatest team ever again. Let 'em trash talk about how they were robbed last year, and how this year they are going to make a statement this year. Let 'em get all full of themselves, only to be deflated by having to play a real opponent in the Superbowl.

It was sweet watching them lose to a medicre NFC team (a wild card team at that) in the Superbowl before, it'll be just as cool to see it happen again.

so the nfl is going to make it a stroll thru the park for the patriots to get back to the super bowl. how stupid. at least the redskins will be able to prove themselves against a tough schedule

The NFL has nothing to do with this - the schedule is set years in advance and the way it works this year is that the NE cheats get to not only continue to play in the weakest division but they also get the NFC West which is probably the weakest division in the whole NFL.

The NFL did not say "well this year we'll give them the NFC West!" That decision was made years ago and the rotation changes each year.

Fact is the cheats also have no say in who they play or when.
