In the last 15 seasons, many times the Pats give their division rivals hope by not starting out great but they just about always finish strong. I remember a few years ago at the halfway point all 4 AFC East teams were 5-3. The Pats won their last 8 games to finish 13-3 while the Bills I think finished 7-9.
This season the league should take notice. Following Deflategate, this could be like 2007 after Spygate where the Pats just roll over everyone.
