i do like the Bills I agree. I think they could make a push this year , AFC East could be a good division this year with Miami and Jets improving maybe and Pats who knows

I think Miami is a year away. If Tua can stay healthy, a big if, they could be solid for a long time. Mike Flores seems like a good coach so far. Don't understand the CB pick. I think if they would have went with Swift they'd have potentially a great core on offense in this draft. Your tackle, starting qb and rb for the next 5 years on a good contract.

I think the Jets are interesting. Darnold could take a leap this year. Only issue I have with them is Gase is starting to appear to be a team wrecker. He seemingly appears to alienate both the front office and players at the same time, seems completely inept and uninterested in having anything to do with defense. Which can work if you have a strong history of selecting good defensive coordinators, but I don't think he has proven that.

And I'm never counting NE out until I see them look like complete crap in 4 games or so to start this year. I'm just not going to count Belichick out as much as I would love to.

The defense is still good and Belichick is going to nickle and dime enough points to win 10 games. They aren't a Super Bowl team this year I don't think but they will be playing meaningful games in December.

Jets end of last season might be a mirage. I also kind of think they're worth a punt to win the division. I'm still torn with that one.

I think you’re probably spot on.

Bills for me are the team to beat.

I think the Dolphins and the Jets are probably running the same course, with Miami ahead due to the picks and aggressiveness in Free Agency.

Patriots can anyone really predict? I’d love a run of sub .500 seasons for them, as they’re truly the Kopites of NFL.

I think Adam Gase is marmite, but he’s got a good relationship with the GM, Joe Douglas. I think he went in to Miami, and was naive in his approach, there was too many egos and too much of a Rot for a power mad Gase to change, rightfully fired.

I feel personally like Gase is a Glorified OC, Gregg Williams is an absolute miracle worker, the guy dragged a load of JAGs to decent stats last year, was a miracle he didn’t get snapped up as a HC. I have no concerns about the Defence, the Solid O Line will keep us in check.

Jets chances of making the Playoffs probably depend on the quality of the AFC east but I’d still say very low.
They play in Kansas and have three trips to the West coast ( LA x 2 and Seattle) and have hike against Niners.

Schedule gone against us this year and next year will probably be a good gauge on where the Jets are at.

Bills
Patriots
Miami
NY Jets

is my prediction.
 

Free hit for the Pats next season, either they're good and Stid the Kid is the answer, or they're bad and they end up with Lawrence or Justin Fields.

You can hope that they're bad but let's be honest, the BB reboot has come at a fortuitous time

Plus, imagine the AFC East thinking the king is dead only for Bill B to bounce back with another dynasty. Oh boy, you'd just give up.

Or he does an amazing coaching job and gets the team to the 7 to 9 win range... In no way are their only two outcomes, they somehow hit on another unknown QB or they completely suck and get Lawrence.
