TNF: Pats at NYG

[COR-TEN]

It's pretty funny that article seems to blame the Patriots for the opponents that they play. Using that same scenario for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Mike Tomlin era, the team struggles, some mightily, with far lesser teams.

Except that you are wrong about the premise. The Steelers do not struggle an unusual amount with poor teams. It might seem like it when we're pissed about unexpected losses, but IIRC the Steelers were like 3rd best since 2007 vs teams that finished with a losing record under Tomlin.

That may be true, but what adds weight is that they were losses at inopportune times, killing momentum. At least that's how I remember some of them.

though they did make the giants and steelers look stupid

Because their division has sucked for years. I saw that the best QB Brady has faced from the AFC north, in his entire time there,has been Chad Pennington.

You mean AFC East I assume.

Their division is their division. Otherwise they rotate through what AFC and NFC divisions they will play like everyone else does.

Pretty much 6 division wins every year, plus 5 other home games, where they are nearly unbeatable (you can decide for yourself why that is), and that’s 11 almost sure wins each season.
I mean, give them credit, they still have to go out and win those games...in stadiums, if you will, but...they aren’t exactly running the gauntlet here.
