    Big moves in the early going this offseason with Suh to Miami, Revis coming back, Rex to the Bills, among others.

    Thoughts?

    It's significantly better than it was, but too early for me to say it's the best. We need to get past FA and the draft. But certainly off to a good start. Definitely relevant.

    Buffalo may get a one season bump from the popular Rex, but they will come crashing back to earth soon enough. Rex is NOT a HC. He's a buffoonish DC.

    As an addendum, our division is set to play the AFC South (Houston, Indy, Jacksonville, Tenn) and the NFC East (NYG, Dal, Wash, Philly).

    I think our division could go 5-3 at least against that.

    no it is not.

    QBs in the division outside of Brady still suck. That makes it not even close to being better than some other divisions..

    But, I fully expect an upgrade in play and an uptick in records.

    Tannehill does not suck.

    Agreed with others, the division is much improved from 2014, but still not a top division in 2015. Though all 4 teams SHOULD be fighting for a playoff spot.

    Stout defenses in the Division, but, as noted above, Brady's the only legitimate playmaking NFL QB in the AFC East.

    it's shaping up to be the most interesting, and possibly most entertaining division..

    however, like others said, there is really only 1 good QB, 1 marginal QB, and 2 complete questions at QB.
    the 2 teams with no QB will play great defense....but how far can they realistically go?

    the Pats will likely run away with division, while the other 3 fight for .500, with each probably beating the other once.
    these teams will play the Pats, and each other, very tough.....which should make it entertaining..

    The Jets got better, for sure.

    But they're still not in the same arena as the Pats, Bills and Dolphins -- yet.

    -----

    Pats have Brady - nuff said.

    The Bills D was one of the most dominant in the league last season and the only player they lost is a Safety. LeSean McCoy makes them scarier on offense and Sammy Watkins won't be a rookie anymore. Theyre a team that can follow the Ravens approach and pound the rock while playing great defense and win 11 games.

    The Dolphins D is going to be good and Suh dramatically helps their run D. If Tannehill improves at all, they'll be a playoff contender.

    -----

    I don't think the Jets beat the Pats or the Bills. Maybe split with the Dolphins.

    Don't think so but it may be in a few years. Seems like all 3 of the bottom feeders are on the upswing. The big question is, how long can Brady & the Pats continue to play at such a high level and dominate the division. Seems like it's inevitable that their dynasty will crumble at some point(??)

    Bills will be our rivals next few years. We can hold our own now and takeover once Pats eventually fall off.
    Dolphins same story every year. They spend a bunch of cash and get hyped in the preseason to suck every year. Last good season they had the guy in my avatar was their starting QB.
