Success Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Patriots - their D was better than ours this year, and one of the top D's in the NFL. If we had that D last week, we'd be playing this coming Sunday. Now, they have an ACTUAL OC coming in, to coach a QB who will never be elite, but isn't as bad as we always say. Jets - I thought they should have made the playoffs this year. And that was with bad QB play for most of the year. They are going for a vet - Rodgers, Jimmy G., who knows. Their D is already one of the top units in the league, and they have some great young players. I think Saleh is the real deal. Dolphins - obviously, the greatest threat. If Tua was healthy all year, things might have played out very differently over the past few weeks. They are a very good team, on both sides of the ball. I think the AFC East could be historically good as a division. It will be such a fight - I'd still pick us to come out on top, but there will be a few close games that will likely decide it in the end. Thoughts? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I dunno. The Jets and Miami are certainly catching up. Im still not scared of the Pats at this point. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 If Jets sign Rodgers the division will be up for grabs right up until the final week. Pats are terrible. Dolphins are in QB purgatory with Tua. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 2023 starts tomorrow. Which team would you choose to play it with as they sit right now? There is your answer. I think we should let the off season actually happen first before worrying about it. Which I’m not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I’m going to play the card that the Bills will underperform next season. Prob sneak in as a wild card. Then with no pressure of high expectations they may go on a little run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donuts and Doritos Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Depends on the off season moves. What do we aquire & what changes do we make? What do Jets & Phins do at QB?

SinceThe70s Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 How on earth could you predict that today? We have no idea who will be under center for the Dolphins or Jets - who knows, maybe the Pats too. This is a question to be asked after the draft and free agency. As it stands, do I expect to go into next season as the prohibitive favorite to win the div like we did this year? Nope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Not if we don’t get better. We were 1-1 vs Mia with Tua and barely beat S Thompson. Went 1-1 vs Jets with no qb. Edited January 27, 2023 by ngbills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrivefourfive Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think expectations keep the Bills in first place. They ran the table when they need to this year, and beat everyone else too. JA is so much better than the next best player in the division, and thats the difference if things get close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Bill Bellichick is a horrible GM. Mike McDaniel thinks all he has to do is show up and it's an automatic win.

mannc Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I have no doubt that a lot of "experts" will pick the Jets or Dolphins to win the division in 2023, assuming they are able to stabilize their QB situations. I think it will be good for the Bills to be considered an underdog again. Edited January 27, 2023 by mannc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetkings01 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 #1 - I think the blue print is out on how to stop the Dolphins offense which for some reason our DC refused to implement. #2 - Jets offense got worse with Hackett as the OC….unless the pickup a good to great QB in the off-season I see them finishing behind us. #3 - Patriots are average and don’t scare me at all.

LABILLBACKER Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 New England is a mess and Bill just seems like he doesn't care anymore. The Dolphins and Jets are a problem.

MJS Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Yes. Most definitely. But we are past that as a franchise. We need an AFC championship game win. That's the next hurdle. That's the only win that will mean something significant going forward. 2 minutes ago, BringBackFlutie said: Will it matter? We need to win a playoff game. We have won about half of our playoff games under this regime. That's not what this team has lacked.

Well the fact that our team hasn't played exceptionally well in games with extreme weather we may very well be better off not getting the 1 seed and avoiding the winter weather in WNY. Bills Mafia travels well it negates the home crowd somewhat so it's not like the Bills are surrounded by just opposing fans.
