Sure would like to be able to pick anyone besides the Pats but those others teams are as usual a fkn mess.

Same here.

 

If my instincts are correct this season will be one of Miami's worst ever. They have been trending downward the last couple seasons and now the best players on offense and defense left in free agency. Tannehill is never gonna lead Miami anywhere they desperately need a better QB. The last six years Tannehill has led Miami to one postseason.

 

Buffalo is building a good team and i love McDermott that guy has been on my radar for years as a potential head coach and the Bills got a damn good one. Now i hate to say it but most QB with accuracy issues bust and i bet Allan does. Best go with McCarron.

 

Now for the Jets. I think Darnold will end up being a good QB. Once things die down with the Pats i think the Jets could be a contender if they build well and Darnold is a franchise QB.

 

Gotta go with the Patriots to win the division for the gazillionth time......

[Machiavelli]

Brady's last stand.

NE as usual.

NE as usual.

 

Unfortunately, yes.  But this could be the year that Brady finally falls off the cliff.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

what a joke 

[Mike75]

Patriots win it and i think Jets are second place

 

Jets will be better this season
