C.Biscuit97 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 This, on paper, is the best AFC East I can ever remember. There was always only one and occasionally 2 teams that were good. I think the Pats are only team that would shock me if they won the division, and they have a top 5ish defense and a good running game. the bills are still by far the favorites. But I can see the bills with a worse record being a better team than they were last year because we don’t have 5 guaranteed wins this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins won the division with an 11-4-1 record. The Jets were 10-5-1 and the Bills were 10-6. That led to the 1981 WC game at Shea Stadium where Bill Simpson intercepted Richard Todd at the goal line with just seconds left as the Bills held on for a 31-27 win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they think the Chargers are gonna Charger too I would love for the Bills to go 13-4 but I can't see that. With the schedule my guess is 10-12 wins as the floor/ceiling. The Jets and Dolphins win totals are also a little too high in these predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Don't care as long as we win the Super Bowl. If we are 10-7 and a wildcard team I doubt anyone is going to think they have an easy win over the Bills come playoff time assuming everyone is healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody remembers if the Patriots won the AFC East only that they won super bowls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody remembers if the Patriots won the AFC East only that they won super bowls During their dynasty run the Pats had it easy in the AFCE. The division was basically NE, Moe, Larry, Curly. They had the division clinched sometime in Oct/Nov almost every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree...it's been quite a while since AFCE was considered to be a strong, competitive division throughout. So much possible things can play out that can happen, but you're right it definitely seems that way on paper. Really would be extra helpful if we can stay much more healthier this season.

Gregg Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Mac Jones in mid-season form. What a beautiful INT he threw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Interested to see what O’Brien can do with Jones. Helps to actually have an OC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 As for the USA take, I don’t think the Bills, Jets and Dolphins will all finish just one game from the next highest place team. They actually have all AFC division leaders except JAX edging out the competition by a single win. Just don’t see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they think the Chargers are gonna Charger too They were 9-8 (started 3-7) last year and their final 5 wins featured wins over houston, the jets, and titans x2. Titans added hopkins, jags added ridley - i think the titans got the better player in that comparison. They also lost games to Washington, Indianapolis, Denver, and Houston. Defensively they were 24th in yards and lost a pass rusher to FA. Ridley, Kirk, Engram, and Etienne is a nice group though, and lawrence definitely looked more confident as the year wore on shaking off the Urban Meyer season. They should win the division, and if Lawrence is better they should walk away with it pretty handily. But they also draw KC and Buffalo as their non-common opponents with the rest of their division, the AFC north is never a cupcake, and their defense is not very good at all.
