They are in a division with Miami Dolphins, NY Jets, Buffalo Bills, that makes it easy to have a winning record.

Well, having a dead cert at winning six games would help the record along with cheating to win. Belichick was a crappy coach in Cleveland, but now suddenly he's a "genius" in NE although he was cheating! The Patriot record is a byproduct of cheating and isn't cheating what everyone is bitching about Barry Bonds and other MLB superstars?
But it's in the NFL's interest to perpetuate the Patriot myth so that legions of gamblers won't stop betting on (and watching) the NFL. You don't hear about gamblers betting on the WWE do you?

They probably are in the weakest division right now, but the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills haven't always been so bad. It doesn't really matter though. It's not like they are squeaking into the playoffs. If they were in a division with Dallas or Indy, they would still be undefeated and in the same exact place overall.

No but it is a weak division although the Bills are getting better but the Jets and Miami are in both those teams dust

I want to say that part of the cause for that division being weak is the Patriots. But then again, every team they have played has been made to look bad. Look at the lofty Chargers how they were embarrassed, the Colts lost, The Steel curtain was found to be made of clay. The Cowboys at home lost and without the benefit of Jessica.
Don't look for excuses as to why other teams lost. I'll tell why they lost. Porous defense. They lost an appointment with destiny. And the Patriots are destiny and dynasty combined.
Don't look for excuses. I waited 27 years for this. Its here, but better than I expected.

Not necessarily. They are beating up on teams, that could have a couple more wins if they didn't have to play the Pats. I think the worst division would have to be the NFC West - San Fran,, St. Louis, Arizona? or the AFC West Oakland, Denver, and Kansas City? Best division though, is no doubt the AFC South!!

No, the AFC West is the worst and it's why San Diego have a winning record. The NFC South is not much better.

maximum in all hazard, seeing that no longer one team had a .500 checklist contained in something of the branch. yet consisting of the patriots, the weakest branch interior the NFL is in all hazard the NFC west.

Maybe but consider these:
NFC South: TB,CAR,NO,ATL
NFC West: SF,AZ,StL,SEA
AFC West: OAK,SD,DEN,KC
Yeah the AFC East sucks too, NE can win it every year with an 8-8.
Remember the 1972 Fish were also in the AFC East, except the Colts who stunk back then were also in it. Not much has changed in 35 yrs.

And what does that have to do with them beating the Colts, Dallas, etc. etc.? Are we grasping at straws?
What helped in making that division look weak? Do you think that maybe the Patriots had something to do with it?
Patriots 19-0 this train is coming into town.
