I went with no. They have a better shot at the division than the Wild Card and I think the Bills are going to have a really good season. They werent bad last year and Edwards is looking really good, Lynch is a beast, and Evans is a really good receiver. Their defense is pretty solid everywhere also. And the Jets almost lost to the Dolphins so...

And the Jets almost lost to the Dolphins so...

Lol, you're an idiot

I went with No though. The bills or the jets will deff win the division.

 

[.GR]

Im an idiot? Am I the one who thinks the Jets will win the Superbowl? Dont freak out just because I didnt pick your team to win the division.

 

[yezzir]

Lol, I deff don't think we're winning the superbowl. I just say it because... well... i hope it happens, haha. And idc that you didn't say we'd win the division b/c i agree the bills did look really good. It's more that you make a big deal about barely beating the dolphins. You obviously don't realize that every well coached team should always be in a game. You can't just go play an NFL team and blow them out. Plus, we were actually controlling the entire game if you even watched it. They got the ball on the 50 so many times b/c we didn't even have our kicker in, lol. If anything, they should've won that game if they were even close to being better than us.

Deff, Pats will win the Division (10-6) Belichek is a really good coach and Pats have so many offensive weapons.


oh and while im here Greg send the trade Ginn for Jack.

I cant do it, as im on my sidekick.

As I have mentioned before, the Patriots have enough talent on the field and enough depth in their line-up to win this division. They will not win a majority of their games with insane stats or huge numbers...but they will do it with smart offense and tough defense.

Belichek is no dummy, this guy knows how to game-plan and he knows how to win. He has been very conservative using Matt Cassel thus far and it has paid off. The Patriots beat the Jets today by using short passes and relying on the ground game to move the ball and control the clock.

I know Cassel is an inexperienced starting quarterback but he is already doing all he needs to do. Make smart throws and limit the mistakes. Teams can and have won Super Bowls using that formula.

I know Jet' fans were super excited when Brady went down...and I know today was a humbling experience for them. The Jets have a good team in the works but I don't think their defense is quite there yet. The Jets will not win this division if Favre keeps heaving the ball downfield like he has. Favre was lucky on a couple of jump balls he threw in week 1 and didn't necessarily make the smartest throws today either.

I would say that the Bills have the best shot at dethroning the Patriots in the AFC East...but again...a team on the rise, not quite ready. I like what I see from Trent Edwards but his injury history has me believing that we will see JP Losman at some point this season. The Bills also dont have the type of depth that the Patriots do...so as the season wears on, the Bills may wear out a little.

I really don't think it's their defense that needs to be paid attention to right now. Honestly, I think it's a solid defense that just needs help from its special teams. Both the dolphins and patriots started past the 50 numerous times and ended up with a limited amount of touchdowns.

Plus, our offense is SO out of sync. You can tell the recievers (mainly Coles, our biggest weapon) are not comfortable with Favre yet and our offense as a whole has yet to cut down on all the penalties. Whether it was holding or 12 man in the huddle, those penalties simply destroy drives.

I completely agree that the Bills have the best shot right now though. But I don't necessarily agree that they're not ready. As long as this team can stay relatively healthy, I have no doubt that they can beat the Brady-less Patriots. The thing is, the Patriots were either tied or had the lead the ENTIRE game yesterday. What happens when they're down? That's when Cassell will be forced to throw down-field and possibly make mistakes.

i went with wild card, if that. i dont think matt cassel is good enough to start an entire season yet and the bills and jets both look really good this season

The Jets actually looked like sh*t yesterday.

 

[Mexi]

I still believe they win the division

 

[VC15]

I see the Patriots overcoming adversity and winning the AL East.

 

[yezzir]

The AL East? pahahah

 

[VC15]

The AL East? pahahah

Well maybe the Bills can do it...

The AL East? :rotfl:
