26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 AFC East preview: Patriots still rule, Dolphins to surprise in 2018 By Jeremy Bergman - Around The NFL Writer With the dawn of a new NFL season almost upon us, we're going division by division to highlight the players and storylines to watch in 2018. Jeremy Bergman tackles the AFC East below. Most significant changes from 2017 Fresh off its first postseason run in nearly two decades, Buffalo offloaded its starting quarterback by trading Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland and hand-picked a shinier, younger, taller model in Josh Allen by trading up to select him seventh overall in the draft. But the rookie isn't assured the starting gig in 2018, and maybe it's for his benefit -- Buffalo lost three starting offensive linemen this offseason, too. One player to watch on each team BUFFALO BILLS: Tremaine Edmunds, linebacker. Buffalo's other first-round rookie is the more likely of the two to start as a first-year player. After picking Allen, the Bills traded up again to select Edmunds 16th overall, and the middle linebacker has lived up to the hype thus far, save for some rookie growing pains. Edmunds replaces the departed Preston Brown and his league-leading 144 tackles in the middle of Sean McDermott's defense, a unit that, more than anything (aside from the LeSean McCoy-led running game), propelled Buffalo back to the postseason. If the Bills can maintain their top-tier takeaway tendencies once again, it will be because Edmunds held down the fort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I really don't see the stinkin' fish sweeping the Pats or grabbing a wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Pats will go 12-4, everyone else will be between 6-10 and 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Everything begins & ends with the Pats*. The rest of us change out coaches & QB’s like the seasons. Hard to see it ending til whatzhizname retires.. #WildCardorBust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 This is the beginning of the end for the Pats. Brady will be like a 30 year old running back with too many miles. When he hits the wall it will be a fast decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
