NFL parity doesn't mean much, if you're a fan of a perennial loser.

That extent of dominance also stems heavy from how bad the rest of the conference has been and how long they’ve been that bad.

AFC east: The jets have won their division twice since 1970 and counting this year since it’s safe to assume they won’t win it, that’ll be one division title in the last 20 years. The dolphins have been between 4-8 wins every year for basically the last 18 years now except for 2 seasons. The bills don’t need much explanation. Their last division title was when AI was still at Georgetown and Kobe hadn’t gone to his senior prom yet. Until January they hadn’t made the playoffs since Pokémon yellow was the hot game on the market and sega was still making game consoles.

Afc south: Houston has basically never been good. The titans haven’t been good essentially since Dubya’s first year or two in office. Last year was their second playoff trip since 2003 and their first since 2008. The jaguars just ended a 9 year playoff drought. Haven’t hosted a playoff game since January of 2000 I think. The colts have basically been a practice squad team asking their quarterback to mask all their flaws since 1998.

Afc west: The raiders have been awful for most of the last 30 years. Kansas City had no playoff wins from 1994-2014. Denver had 1 playoff win from 1999-2010 and after winning the super bowl they suck again. Pretty sure the chargers have sucked most of the last decade, but I don’t think anyone is really paying attention to them.

Afc north: The bengals haven’t won a playoff game since Kareem was still playing for the Lakers. The ravens were good for a bit, but 2006 is literally the only year they’ve ever had a good coach and quarterback in the same season and the qb’s body broke down almost on a drive by drive basis in the playoff game that year. Neither the coach or qb has been good the last 5 years and the coaching hasn’t been good since 2006. Not that they need any elaborating, but the browns have gone 25 seasons in a row without a division title, 15 straight years out of the playoffs, and going into this season had lost 50 of their previous 55 games.

Jesus Christ this is grim reading....

You would have to think the mob was fixing games to believe that some of these NFL teams were contenders in any given year

Lions fans are the most pathetic. Watched Stafford run CJ into the ground with a decade of inaccurate hail Mary passes. Dudes was still stanning

 

[ReadOneBookAWeek]

Lions went 1-4 after Stafford dislocated his finger, when your QB gets hurt you have NO chance. That's football, people get hurt

Lions stay losing and y'all stay creating excuses lmao. Ya franchise is trash and destroys talent.

Damn right!! American Failure Conference.

Lowkey, I was rooting for the Pats to prove me right. Delusional fans will remain delusional though. This is no diffirent from the NBA in terms of lack of pairty. LeBron had an 8yr run. TB and the Pats had a damn near 20yr run. 13 Conference title game appearances, 3yrs in a row, 4 SB appearances in the last 5yrs.

Bbbbbut, parity!!!



All post season they ignored the Pats, as if NFL fans were trying to wish them away. Guys like Kellerman said TB was the worst QB in the playoffs this postseason.



NFL fans brought this on ourselves.

Dumbass Jerry Jones pushed for a hard cap league and fukked himself in the process.

The teams with good QB's will continue to shine. The teams without, will be in deep trouble for decades.

At this point it’s just shame on the rest of the conference. With it being a single elimination format in the playoffs, someone should be able to get them every now and then even by default. Almost half of their conference and the entire rest of their division should be contracted at this point on account of their ineptitude.

I'm a dolphins fan, so I'm not under the grand NFL delusion....

I'm a realist. My eyes see what they see. I will up it again next year when the Pats make it back to the conference title.

 

[The Gimp]

I ain’t falling for this parity bs next year. Nfl fooled me once but not again

 

[Tres Leches]

Seems like all the parity is in the NFC


AFC been ran by Brady,Manning, Big Ben for like 20 years

2002 and 2009 are the only years since 2001 where neither Pittsburgh or New England made the conference title game. 2002 is the only one in that span with neither of them or Peyton. The same conference is dragged down by having the bengals, browns, raiders, jaguars, titans, bills, jets, and dolphins. They’ve all been steadily awful or underachieving chokers over this span.
