Brady was saying this type of stuff before even winning that SB in Tampa, so this isn't him retiring and saying suddenly everything is easier.

AFC East was shit, but that whole excuse has been overplayed for literal decades. Playing in a bad division does not explain how you torch it in the postseason and win 7 SBs.

There's also something to be said for the effect that Brady and Belichick had on that division sucking. When a team is that dominant, it can be hard for other teams to gain traction in that division. I don't think it's a coincidence that as the pats started their downfall, we also saw the bills and dolphins begin their ascent
