So who do you think takes 1st and 3rd in AFC East?New England 1st and the Jets 3rd. But it wouldn't stun me if NE struggled out of the gate this year. Most of the value of their entire team is tied up in a 34 year old QB. Indianapolis had pretty much the same problem last year, and they nearly missed the playoffs.
New England will be okay in the end, I think, because the AFC East isn't exactly treacherous.

Reed plays DB the way Rabach played C!
That's funny.

Buffalo. And by surprise, I mean second in the AFC East.
Jacksonville just doesn't have much talent on their roster. They've won with less, I suppose.
ballsy...Id like to get Rex Ryan to respond to this post please. I actually think the Sanchise and Shonn Green makes a jump to avg or maybe a smich above avg and the Jets take the division. Keeping Santonio is gonna turn out to be huge for them.

They were all in on Asomugha. They did get lucky that Cromartie and Pool took less money to stay, which should help stave off the decline of their defense for a little while longer.

I feel badly for Kelly. From this interview, it sounds like he's pretty much reading the writing on the wall. Such a tough business.
Malcolm Kelly gives the saddest interview of training camp - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/malcolm-kelly-gives-the-saddest-interview-of-training-camp/2011/08/09/gIQArWzY4I_blog.html#pagebreak)
Ouch. Count me in among those who wish it would've worked out for him. Like you said, it sucks that there are a-holes in the NFL that take being elite for granted and one of the true good guys can't catch a break with the injuries.
At the same time though, this is a business, and we've wasted a roster spot for 3 years straight, and it looks like that trend will continue this season unless he gets cut. I hope whatever his next plan is works out better than this one.
I think the Bills will be improved, but they are clearly the 3rd best team in the AFC East, and even then that's a best case scenario prediction for them.

I'm not going to bust out any exciting predictions about the Bills, I will just say I think they'll be a lot better than 0-8 to start the season.
