NFL Preview-AFC East

Over the next few days I am going to share my thoughts on what is going to happen this season in the NFL. Each day I will do focus on a different division starting today with the AFC East. This divison as usual should be a very interesting division to watch.

Buffalo Bills-The Bills are really the only team in the AFC East that has no chance of winning. They are a team for sure in the rebuilding stage. Buffalo really made a questionable hire at head coach with Chan Gailey and they did nothing in Free Agency to improve their weaknesses. The only postive thing about Buffalo this season is rookie running back C.J Spiller. I have high hopes for him besides that expect another doom and gloom year in Buffalo.


Miami Dolphins-The Dolphins made one of the top offseason moves by trading for Brandon Marshall. This brings a legitmate threat in the passing game to Miami that could make Miami a playoff team. The Dolphins already have one of the top one-two running back punches in the form of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. I think Chad Henne will have another good year and will continue to mature as a player. Their defense is solid and the addition of Karlos Dansby makes them better. Don't count them out of a playoff spot.


New England Patriots-The Patriots are always a contender but I think this year is really up in the air for them. A big question mark for them is the wide reciever position. It's a mystery as to how well Wes Welker will perform and they took a big blow with Torry Holt getting injured for the season. Their defense is still old and their offensive line is banged up especially with Logan Mankins holding out. That being said The Patriots still have an excellent offense and their linebacking core is pretty solid.

New York Jets-This team is scary. A lot of great free agent pick ups were made by them including Santonio Holmes,Jason Taylor and LaDanin Tomlinson. Tomlinson brings a power back to the Jets running game to complient the speed of Shonn Greene. Holmes boosts one of the Jets's weak points their wideouts and Taylor adds a veteran to the Jets already stacked defense. If Darrelle Revis signs before the start of the season(which he will) The Jets will be pretty much unstoppable.



Predictions for the AFC East Standings
1.New York Jets(13-3)
2.Miami Dolphins(10-6)
3.New England Patriots(9-7)
4.Buffalo Bills(4-12)
