Can you ever remember there being such a chasm between the elite of the league and the rest, or the 1st in the AFC East and the rest of the division?

It's almost unfathomable how far ahead the Patriots are. To think they added Cooks and other reinforcements, and may not be done, is staggering.

Getting into the Superbowl is their floor each year. It's truly admirable, no matter how much you hate them. No taped run-throughs or deflated balls got them here. They are just plain and simply the best, most well-oiled machine there is. The degree to which other organizations can't even hold their jock is embarassing. If you really want to see what makes a winner, watch that "Do Your Job" doc.

I have no idea when the Jets can even dream of overtaking them. They are a dynasty to end all dynasties. The greatest we've ever seen in the history of sports. Not even close. 90s Yankees or Bulls come close.

You had a period where it was really just the 49ers and the Cowboys.   The NFL championship game was pretty much the SB.

But, at least there were 2.  I guess the late 70's were the Steelers.   They won 4 SB, and the other 2 years were hit real bad with injuries.

The greatest in the history of sports?   Look up the old Celtics.  Look up the old Yankees.  Yogi Berra played 18 years, won 11 rings, and lost 4 WS.
