Counting them out is dumb with that defense. That's when they've been able to win Super Bowls; when the defense was really good to great that year.
But it's going to be a lot harder if their offense continues to struggle; Brady doesn't have a likely chance to hero ball them out of a deficit in the 4th quarter with that line and receiver situation (and his own increasing limitations due to age).
It's good because the AFC is competitive enough that we don't have to have one of those years where it seems like the Patriots are just going to walk into the Super Bowl. It's better to have competition across the league, it's more fun to watch.
