The Avenger Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Jason La Canfora has a piece today saying that in the AFC arms race the Dolphins are in the best position to take down the Pats as the division champs (but still says NE is by far the class of the division). http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/jason-la-canfora/25114104/in-afc-east-arms-race-dolphins-look-most-ready-to-challenge-pats I'll admit I'm a homer with bias, but I don't see how Miami got much better than last season - they lost 4 of their top 6 receivers and gained a nice TE who has injury problems. Suh is nice to have, but he can't be your entire defense. I they do seem to have the best QB not named Brady, but who's he throwing to and who is running the ball? I think the Jets have made some decent moves and will have a solid defense - I see them ahead of Miami. Everyone points out the obvious - the Bills lack a QB - but we went 9-7 last year and have gotten better in the offseason - with a QB is capable, not spectatcular, I think we improve on that 9-7 and contend. Just really don't know how Miami is best positioned to challenge.... Edited March 19, 2015 by The Avenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 They shed a ton of players. Does adding one player make their defense better, especially when they created a ton of holes? Not to mention the turnover in their WR corps, and the fact that they downgraded their TE position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 They have been saying this about the Fins for the past couple years now. They haven't put it all together yet and I don't think Philbin is the guy to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 La Canfora didn't get one thing right this whole off-season. All he did was criticize the Bills for spending too much money. Wouldn't worry about anything he writes. Comes down to qb play and offensive line, defense....etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Until you do, you can't. I suppose that kind of logic is being applied here. The Bills have mad some strong movies and we're not to April yet. Hopefully they pay off and new ones are made to solidify the line. Could be a very fun season, could also be very exasperating. I'm hoping for the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the final game had meant anything to the Pats, barring an act of god they would have annihilated the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Dolphins might get better performance out of their WRs and have a better QB and Oline than us. They also arguably have a better DLine than us. They really need to do a lot to round out their roster, but they've got a lot of potential.

I love how all the "experts" say, "You don't win games in March"..."The Division isn't won in Free Agency" and then a team like the Dolphins "wins" b/c of splash factor and they're ready to anoint them the next dynasty...w...t.....f?! Hey, I have no idea what all the changes for the BILLS will mean, hopefully a championship, but for now, I'm content with believing they've gotten better and until the Pats are taken down, they're still the Division and Super Bowl champs (ouch, that hurts to write), but promoting one team over another at THIS point, is lunacy!

Bills Fan in MD Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 People have been writing columns for the last ten or so offseasons declaring that "Team X" is best positioned to knock off the Pats, and every single one of them has been wrong. At some point, it will happen -- and I very much think that what the Bills have been doing this year gives them as good a chance as anyone -- but generally have a hard time putting much weight in these lame opinion pieces (LaCanfora is particularly bad).

Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Lets face it. If the Dolphins matched the Bills offer, the Bills would have been critisized for not offering enough to land a talented player CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Dolphins have clearly taken a step back IMO. I don't know wth LaCanfora is talking about. We and the Jets have made more moves to upgrade our respective teams than the Dolphins have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
