    AFC East: Coming to grips with the Patriots

    It’s probably no surprise that the New England Patriots’ AFC East foes spent a lot of time this offseason trying to get tougher on defense.

    After all, the Patriots’ average of 36.8 points a game last year was an NFL record for a 16-game season. Quarterback Tom Brady set the league record for most touchdown passes (50) in a season, and receiver Randy Moss set the record for most receiving TDs (23).

    So the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins will be trying to slow the Patriots’ juggernaut this year.

    sigh, so it's gotten to the point because of talent levels throughout the AFCEast that the best thing we can do is "slow" them down. It seems like it's been an eternity since competitiveness, and it's still going to be a bit for my team

      Your boy, FTP, says the Miami is closer than the Bills.

          Obviously here on fantasy island whatever your record was the previous year is proof of future success and failure because Tatoo say's so. Gotta love that idiotic logic.

            Anyone notice that Buffalo drafted Jeremy Fine? I must have missed that round.
            I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

            I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

              So tell me, if I was to spend some time on a Dolphins message board (I wouldn't because I'm a Bills fan) I wouldn't find irrational Dolphin fans with unrealistic expectations? You are so critical of people on this site like it's not that way on any other team's sites. My educated guess is that it's not any worse here than anywhere else. Besides, if we are all idiots why in the hell do you spend so much time here?

                New England's about to crash and burn. Just sit back and enjoy the fire.

                  I dunno, maybe because I find it amusing that Bill fans can think playoffs after the last 8 years they've had, but Dolphin fans must accept the fact that the Bills are better simply because Bill fans say so. Oh I could see their point if they were a playoff team the last couple of years, but the Bills have been anything but a playoff team.

                      I hate when fans of other teams hang out on message boards.

                        I suppose if you repeat this every year, it will eventually come true.

                            I think it is so cute the way you get all wishful and stuff. All I'm left with is "constant decline".
