If the Patriots won the East....

would these so called "experts" say they had an easy schedule??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I am sick and tired hearing about how we had an "easy schedule". Do these so called "experts" understand that schedules are determined years in advance, except for 2 games a year. Before these a-holes start knocking our schedule they should do a little research. Sure we played the NFC West and the AFC West, the two divisions that were the worst this year, you still have to go out and play the game. Why dont we look at our records against common opponents, a stat that matters. So the Pats had an easy schedule and couldnt make the playoffs!!!

Dolphins 11-3
Pats 11-3
Jets 7-7
Bills 6-8

It was a bit easy, get over it. We are all still happy, we've blown easy schedules before.

He's right. The fins dominated their easy schedule while the Pats struggled.

He's right. The fins dominated their easy schedule while the Pats struggled.

We both ended up 11-5 so I wouldnt say either Miami nor NE dominated or struggled.. Miami far from dominated teams like SF, Seattle, Oakland, etc... We took care of business, thats pretty much all one can say about that.

It's supposed to be easier, it was a last place team's schedule (but only by 2 games). All of the other games are the same for each division opponent.

The Packers will get a 3rd place schedule next year after going 13-3 last year. They will probably rebound from their bad year this year. The Redskins will have a last place schedule next year, even with their 8-8 record.

Teams who have a poor season get a little easier schedule the following year b/c it will give them the chance to rebound and have a better year.

Like someone else posted on another thread.

If you take away the 2 uncommon games (losses)...Miami-Houston and Baltimore.. NE-Pittsburgh and Indianapolis..

Miami lost to Jets, Arizona and Patriots... NE lost to Miami, Jets and San Diego.

Miami lost to an inferior team in Houston than NE did (Pitt or Indy) in uncommon games, but Miami beat San Diego while NE lost to them.

The schedule is similar for all division temas, yuo guys earned your division title and anyone saying it was all b/c of an easy sched doesn't understand the NFL.

It just makes me sick about how much swinging ESPN does on the Patriots. I am surprised we haven't heard about them getting "robbed" even more than what I already have. Berman stuck to his guns until the bitter end though in his hate towards us. A few weeks ago everybody on ESPN picked the AFC East final standings, and every single person had the Jets or Pats at the top, and us in 3rd, with Buffalo at the end. Everybody except Berman though, who had us in last place. Then for the last game everybody picked Miami, but you know who still picked the Jets. He sucks along with ESPN.

As long as the number gets larger in the left hand column rather than the right. That's all I care about. You still have to win your games no matter who you play. Style points mean nothing. Just ask the Pats last year.

You folks worry way too much about what the media thinks about the Dolphins sometimes. Just relax and enjoy the moment. We can prove them wrong again on Sunday.
