I’m specifically referring to the 2011 season. The Ravens were the only team they beat that year who finished above .500. The jets, bills, and dolphins made up 6 wins and all finished .500 or below. The chargers, raiders, broncos, and cowboys went 8-8 that year. Kansas City went 7-9, Indianapolis was 2-14, and Washington was 5-11 that season. Their opponent in the divisional round was the 8-8 broncos. There you have it. They reached the conference title game without beating a single good team.

Patriots fault other teams are trash? They gotta turn up on Sunday and beat the teams in front of them

I didn’t say it was. My point is that to some extent, their success is extended by consistently getting to face so many bad teams. They get 5-7 circled wins every year at least off the strength of 6 games against their division and getting to face the 2 worst teams in one of the other 3 divisions in the conference since the bottom feeders of those divisions are always consistently horrible teams that never get it together.

The afc south has been trash besides Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck basically since the realignment of 2002 and they get to play that whole division every 4 years. Seriously I think the jaguars, titans, and Texans have a combined 5 playoff wins in the last 17 years. The afc north has the ravens who have a horrible coach who’s always been a punching bag for the contenders of the league, the Steelers who the pats always own for one reason or another, the bengals who haven’t won a playoff game since before MJ led the bulls to a title and have I think just 7 playoff trips in the last 25-28 years, and the browns who need no introduction. The west has the raiders who also need no introduction and then there’s always one other team in there between Denver, Kansas City, and the chargers that’s 10+ losses type of bad any given year.

Point is that as great as they are, they also benefit heavily from the rest of the conference being so terrible.

I stopped reading your garbage ass post when you called John Harbaugh a "horrible coach". Hes won nearly 60% of his ganss and is one of the few current coaches with a superbowl ring. Complete garbage post by you :unimpressed:

Mike Shanahan has 2. Is he great? Barry Switzer has one, and so does Mike McCarthy. Ken Wisenhunt was one defensive stop away from one. The thing with the NFL playoffs is that even a bad coach sometimes gets hit for a 3-4 game stretch or they might be bad but their opponent can be worse just for one game that does it. Single elimination format makes it highly possible for fluke runs like many of the teams in the last 15 years to make it. You could ask Bernard pollard since he played for him and knows him pretty well as a coach. Harbaugh piles up wins against bad teams and loses about 2/3 of the time against good teams. Going into either last year or 2017 Harbaugh had a record of 18-39 against teams that made the playoffs during the regular season with an embarrassing record against the Steelers, pats, and whichever team Peyton Manning played for at the time. He’s got just 3 division titles in 11 years as a coach. We’re talking about a guy who after 11 years still 100% defers to both his coordinators and still hasn’t learned to manage the clock. It should also be noted that he’s got just one playoff win and only 2 playoff appearances in the last six years, both of which required other teams to lose in week 17 since they didn’t take care of business against the teams they needed to. The man is mediocre at best.
