who else are they supposed to beat?
So that means that, by your logic, the Dolphins were winless in the 1972 regular season since they didn't beat a single good team...The [1972] Dolphins played the third-easiest schedule in the modern era. Their opponents were 70-122, a .367 percentage that was topped only by the 1975 Minnesota Vikings and the 1999 St. Louis Rams. As it turned out, the Dolphins didn't play a team with a winning record during the regular season.

The proof is that if you want to go undefeated in the NFL, you have to play the majority of your games against shitty teams. I don't think you can argue that. And I don't give two shits about a Dolphins team that played 8 years before I was even born. The Dolphins won 2 games against good teams, the Patriots won 4 games against good teams....that's called adjusting for inflation.
2008-2023 Mets: 1,143-1,296...469%
2006-2008 Rockies: 242-244...498%
IBC Total: 1,385-1,540...474%
2022: lost WC
2023: lost WC
2024: 1st NL East; lost WC

Actually, the Dolphins won Zero regular season games against playoff teams or teams with records over .500.
The Patriots won 6 games against playoff teams (including every team in the NFC East), 7 against teams over .500.
"The proof is that if you want to go undefeated in the NFL, you have to play the majority of your games against shitty teams."
Actually... you're quite wrong (unsurprisingly). With 8 games against teams .500 or better, the Pats have played exactly half of their games against teams that were 'shitty' and half is not a majority. With 3 playoff games added in, it's not even close, the Pats will have clearly played the majority of their games against good to very good teams on their march to 19-0.
Adjusting for inflation... are you on crack?
