They can only play who's on their schedule. Besides, the Patriots play in the AFC East...which is the second worst division in the NFL.

Broncos opponents total win is 126. Pats opponents total win is 117.
126=117?

Are you asking me if that's what their opponents total wins are?

If you're saying that the Broncos were a fraud because they padded their stats beating weak teams, what does that make the Patriots? If your numbers are correct their opponents were even weaker than Denver's, judging by record...

That's what I was wondering too.....I thought he was saying the Broncos schedule was just about as easy as the Pats?

Yeah, I'm not sure what he's trying to say, I'm waiting for a response to my question above...
Re: How we should attack the Patriots
Maybe the NFL should switch the Browns and the Patriots divisional seats and let the Patriots come over to the AFCN and give the Browns some easier opponents to face.

LOL. I got it mixed up when I posted. Denver's is the lower number. The point is, Denver's stats got padded when their last 9 or so games were against weak opponents. They played their tough opponents early on and their performance then was closer to how they performed on Sunday than how they blew out all those weak teams towards the end of the season. They beat you guys pretty bad, but your team was pretty injured, plus the game was closer than what it really was. The INT to end the half was a killer.

The Pats didn't face much stiff competition late either. A Texans team that fell apart. The Jets. The Jags. The Dolphins (twice). 3 really bad teams. The Colts. A home loss to a good team (49ers). The worst team in the bunch going 2-14, and another 6-10 team. No "elite" QBs or WRs (outside of maybe Andre Johnson). You guys played Tannehill, Sanchez and Henne 4 times at the back end of the season.
The back end of the Ravens schedule had two Steelers games (always tough, even without Ben) with a west coast trip to SD sandwiched in the middle, then Redskins, Broncos, Giants, Bengals (meaningless though). The worst team in that bunch going 7-9. Plenty of talented QBs and WRs (2 Mannings, RGIII, Cruz, Thomas, Decker).
