So a game with the Texans instead of a Super Bowl rematch with the Rams was the choice.

I wonder how much ineptitude the Dolphins, Jets and Bills have to show before the NFL considers realignment. Those 3 franchises have combined for a grand total of 2 playoff game appearances and no wins since 2010. And one of those appearances ended a nearly 20-year drought for Buffalo.

Should've had a game against NO to see what would've happened in the SB that should've been.

I believe, and I would have to double-check to be sure, that the 2 “place” games (i.e. first versus first, fourth versus fourth) are both in-conference. So, for example, if the AFC East plays the entire AFC West that year, then the Patriots would get the first place teams from the AFC North and the AFC South. I think that’s why it seems like they play the Steelers every year and also why Brady and Manning met so often when he was in Indy.

This is 100% correct.

I'm surprised more people on this board didn't know that's how it works.

Who makes the NFL schedules, and why did they give the Patriots the easiest schedule in the league? I mean, they play crap teams in 10 of 16 games. Usually the team that wins the SB gets a tough scheduling draw the following year. If only they were matched up against ... literally any other divisions than the ones that they got.

They have a leg up every year considering the other teams in the division they play in are constantly dog shit on a basically yearly basis
