    I was hoping they cut Jennings, too much money for him. I like the Wallace deal though, I know he's got a big contract but the Vikings need a top level WR and his speed should really help, hopefully he can get along with Teddy and build some trust. If not they can always cut him next year or something cuz he has a big deal for 2 years after this as well. But I think it'll work out.

    Hoping even more so that the Vikings get rid of Peterson now, need to free up some money. I wouldn't mind cutting Greenway either, get rid of Greenway, Jennings and Peterson for all I care lol, that's a lot of money for those 3 and they could replace them with much cheaper options. Still need to get someone for the o line and a linebacker, another WR too.

    Christian Ponder signed with the Raiders. Lol you know you're not very good when you're still a third stringer on that team.

    Won 9 games last year. So what makes you think they can't win 10 with what seems like a better offense, basically the same defense, and a better coach. I'm not predicting playoffs (because it just doesn't seem right) but I like the way they've been building so far this offseason. If we only had a d--- QB.

    I wasn't happy to see the Bills released Chandler, but it makes it so much worse seeing him sign with the Patriots. I'm sure he'll have some big games against us next year.

    Gonna be on Geno for the Jets, but supposedly the new OC's system is similar to what he ran at West Virginia gonna be interesting to see what he can do with Marshall, and Decker in the correct role

    Because the Bills are the Bills and Cassel wont win you games. They will lose both games to the Pats and wont win 10 out of the other 14 games.

    All the AFC East teams have the same problem, they are reaching for QB's. Obviously its impossible to say, but the Pats might have the best and 2nd best QB in the AFC East.

    Anything can happen in the NFL but i need to see the Bills make the playoffs before i believe it. The division is tougher this year then it was last year as well, Pats might have taken a step back but the Fins and Jets have definitely gotten better as well.

    He also had Steve Slaton in the backfield. The system he ran at WV was the type of spread that doesn't translate to the pros.

    I don't think Geno Smith and Steve Slaton overlapped lol.... I don't know much about what he ran at WV but Gailey's is a pistol spread which certainly does work in the NFL

    Pat White and Steve Slaton were the duo before. The only reason those offenses was worked were the ridiculous dynamics involved. Geno shouldn't be starting anywhere.

    You're right. The problem with the other three teams in the AFC East is they all drafted "franchise QBs" and they all missed on them. Tannehill is the best of the bunch but I don't think he's the long term answer in Miami, and EJ and Geno certainly aren't the long term answers for their teams.

    Buffalo could definitely win 10 games next year. Texans, Giants, Jags, Skins, Titans, Chiefs, Bengals, Dallas, Philly, Jets (2x), Dolphins (2x). Dallas and Philly are both the type of teams you never wanna consider a safe bet, those games could easily go either way. Indy, and NE, are the only two I look at and think "Bills lose" with confidence.

    They would have to go 10-3 in the rest of those games and i dont see that happening. I know they have a new coach and things could be different but the Bills always lose a couple of those games they should win. I could easily see them splitting the Jets/Fins games as well as losing the Cinci game.

    When i think of the Bills i still think of week 16 when they HAD to beat the Raiders and couldnt do it. They had just beat the Packers the week before and come in and lose that game, that to me is the Bills.

    Bills may lose a game or 2 they shouldn't, but they will also win a few games being the underdog. Most teams have that happen. I mean, they did just beat the Patriots a--- a few months ago with a more s-----y team than they will have this year. So they will obviously win a majority of their division games this year.

    Pats had the 1 seed clinched going into that game and didnt play Gronk or Edelman and Brady only played in the first half. If the Pats needed that game they would have won it by multiple TD's.

    How many more years do you guys think it is until a team besides the Patriots wins that division? I think we're still at least 2-3 years away tbh but hope I'm wrong, ready for a change even though I like Brady.

    At least the other teams are making moves and trying to improve more than they were in the recent past it seems.

    Depends when/how bad Brady falls off and when he does do they have the balls to cut bait with him(knowing the organization the answer is yes). Also depends on how good Jimmy Garoppolo is or if hes even still on the Pats by the time Brady is done. Also depends on if Belichick stays with the Pats after Brady and if any of the other AFC East teams ever land a QB.

    I think Brady has two more really good years left and then another where he is just good enough that we win the AFC East with like 10 wins.

    I agree with this. Much like my point of the Eagles/Cowboys. Both lost to the Redskins, who lost 10 games by double digit points. Granted, within division, but still...Philly had to win that game and couldn't do it. Dallas' situation wasn't as vital, being earlier in the season, but regardless, they lost to a bad Redskins team. Like the Bills, those two are consistently like that, so those games I look at as 50/50.

    All in all, looking at their schedule, I would be just as surprised seeing them win 10 games as I would if they won 7.

    Good question. 4-5 years ago (I can't quite remember) I would have said the jets had a chance to beat the patriots out.

    Now though, I guess you would have to think the bills, but yeah I don't see it until the Patriots fall off pretty bad. I hate to say it, but the Pats draft so d--- good. Even when Brady retires who knows Garoppolo may fill his shoes fine. There's some hype around him. If they have a few bad years of drafting and free agency moves then Brady retires then bills will be the number one in the division, but the way the pats draft h--- idk if that'll even happen.

    Gotta really wonder if Belichick is gonna want to stick around once Brady's done, hard to imagine he'll want to go through any kind of re build and with a new QB (no matter who it is), it'll be tough to keep winning at their pace right away. But I won't count them out if Belichik sticks around, they'd probably still end up being the favorites in that division somehow lol.
