JetsLife Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Seems everybody is on Buffalo's jock, Pats are a way behind them, Miami is rising fast, Jets have Darnold so they have a shot. The division does seem as wide open as it's been in a long time. I could see easily any team winning the division. As for my favorite: heart will always say the Jets are winning it all every year. My head, one thing I haven't heard those semi anointing the Josh Allen-led Bills over the rest of divison mention - and it brings me no joy saying it: Umm, there's a certain Belicheat aka arguably the GOAT (cheating) head coach still running things in New England. Who went 11-5 without Brady in 2008, something like 4-0 when Brady was suspended for Deflategate. Who will size up the remaining veteran QB market, add a Newton, Dalton or some such at a highly affordable rate, and perhaps have a decent if not great QB situation this season be it the vet or Stidham. Who since 2000 except for like two seasons has always had his team either winning the AFC East, in the playoffs, AFC title games and/or Super Bowls. Sure Brady was the key common player denominator throughout, but it was only in 2007 and after the Pats became the Brady-led Pats - before that his stats weren't that special, and they won as much with great complimentary team football, including at times a stifling defense. It was the Pats secondary's annual highly successful mugging of WRs and receivers (particularly in the playoffs) that was one reason the NFL changed the rules - to this current flag football era where DBs can barely lay a finger on receivers past five yards. Until someone actually dethrones New England this season and on a regular basis, to me they are still the team to beat unfortunately. Annoyingly Belichick is that good even if my misbegotten means sometimes. Seems every other year people write off the Pats when they lose a ton of talent in free agency, or hit a rough patch in the season. And yet every year they've firmly been in within the top 3 of the AFC and nearly always top of the division. Of course that's been with Brady at the helm. And certainly losing Brady = an offseason setback unlike the Pats have experienced under Belichick. But Belichick's NE history pretty much dictates that between now and opening day, he'll be fielding a team favored by plenty of wise, chastened NFL minds to win the division yet again, Brady or not. Not least despite free agent losses, no doubt the defensive mastermind that Belichick is will have his 2020 defense humming. A good defense still remains a major equalizer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herdon, Griffin, Crowder, Bell out of the backfield and you have to bring back Robby.. plus a 2nd or 3rd round WR...Sam has time that’s all he really needs to be effective.

Hope you and the family are safe. Thank you for the well-wishes; same back to you and yours. The division isn't going to be tough for us. If watching the best QB in our division up close for the last 20 years has taught us anything, it's that elite quarterback play is the difference maker. No, Darnold is not Brady. But he doesn't need to be because the Bills, Pats, and Fins aren't the '85 Bears or '89 Niners. It's a pedestrian division, and I'll take my chances with Sam Darnold and Gregg Williams over anything else anyone can throw at us. It's going to be an annoying 6 months of "Here come the Bills!" hype and "Patriots aren't done!" narratives. Ignore it all. The Jets are the best team in the AFC East.

Agreed on the Bills. No matter what QB the Pats throw out there, he's not going to be Tom Brady, and they don't have any playmakers to take an Andy Dalton dump-off and make big plays. Their D will be good, but their O won't score. 31 minutes ago, FidelioJet said: With that said, Give Sam time (and it looks like we’re focused on that) and he’s an all-pro. I love his skill-set.

Not sure why its so hard to admit please get off your soapbox until you can make a legit argument. I love fans who state things as a matter of fact...when it isn’t. Favre and Elway played in a completely different era, and even then Favre had a higher completion percentage then Allen. Newton has had 1 great year, largely hasn’t won anything, and is about to be unemployed at 30. I’ve followed Allen since Wyoming, in fact for 2 years leading up to the draft. He has never been and will never be an accurate passer. You can make the “athlete” argument, but i would argue he isn’t enough of an “athlete” to overcome the fact that he simply isn’t good enough as a passer...and those guys don't last anyways due to injuries. Give me another modern ERA QB who has sustained success passing below 60%. Ill wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
