Message Board Season Predictions - AFC East

[Gof the Gij]

Part 2 of 21
The AFC East has long been the stomping ground of the 3-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, but the Miami Dolphins wrestled the division crown from them last year, and the Jets also promise to put up a fight, especially if golden boy Mark Sanchez plays well as a rookie. Buffalo started well last season, but crashed to a halt at the end. Which team did the most in the off-season to grab the AFC East?

Results so far:
AFC North: Pittsburgh with 75.00%

Tom Brady is back. The end.

I thought I heard somewhere Sanchez didn't look too good in OTAs.

[Gof the Gij]

I think this race will be closer than a lot of people think, but New England still wins out in the end.

[Eagleholic]

I'm having a hard time seeing anybody but NE winning that division with Brady back. Unless his mechanics are REALLY off from the knee I just don't see anybody else coming close.

[ZooYork]

Tom Brady is back. The end.

Pretty much.

maybe Tom Brady will break his other knee....

[Max_Power]

Jets take a step back.
Bills take a step forward.
Miami? God only knows. Hardest team to predict this upcoming season by far.

Pats win it all.

[Mullester]

Pats had a great draft, really I think Brady coming back to full strength is more of a question mark than people realize. Plus who do they have behind him now, Kevin O'Connell. I hate Randy Moss and hope he sucks it the rest career, but the have a very good overall team. Plus I hope they don't sign Wilkford this year and we pick him up.

Miami? God only knows. Hardest team to predict this upcoming season by far.

I see them regressing a bit. The Wildcat won't catch teams off guard, and I can't imagine Joey Porter replicating his 2008 success. I see a 6-10 or 7-9 season for them.

Exactly what I was thinking, but Big Bad Bill has proven me wrong with everything he does no matter where he goes (last season included).

[glassrose106]

My prediction is the Pats win the division and lose in the playoffs.

[Vivek49erFan]

New England. Brady's back. End of story.

[pickelweasel]

I think this race will be closer than a lot of people think, but New England still wins out in the end.

I honestly doubt it.

New England by a landslide.

[southcitynin3r]

patriots yo!

[SF1981bornfan]

healthy Brady all yr means they win the div easy.

[NinersFanatic]

18-1

This time with a SB win.

[bruin4life]

ne...

[kingshmegland]

I think everybody here knows my pick. NE.

[JohnGalt]

The only way you dont pick the Pats is if you are expecting them to be without Brady again, otherwise this is one of the only 'locks' that I would assign this season.

[JohnGalt]

New England. Brady's back. End of story.

exactly

[airbornetexan]

New England. Brady's back. End of story.

For some reason - I have this weird feeling that Tom Brady is going to get injured again - but not with the same injury. And then the media will kick the Patriots when they are down and mention how they traded their praised back-up, Matt Cassel.

Call it a hunch, but I think the division will be Miami's with the Jets giving them a run for it.

[Nelson]

New England but I dont think the Jets and Dolphins will be too far away.

[Gof the Gij]

Well, the Pats are (predictably) the runaway winner. Now, on to a much more competitive conference.

[Sivraj]

I really hate to be different. But I honestly think the bills are gonna be putting up a fight against the pats in the division this season.
