    Our division is so winnable

    Miami has laid 2 eggs in a row. Tannehill is not the answer there. The Pats barely beat the Raiders at home. The Jets will always be average with Geno. I'd like our chances if we had a good QB. Pats will win it by default again cause they're the only team with a QB

    Brady is struggling this year as his offensive line not as strong as it used to be. One can hope we can at least split the series with them this year but every year it looks like the Patriots are about to fall apart they find some way to win. That Raiders game is a primary example. The Raiders had them on the brink only to see a ball hit a receiver then a Pats DB and land in Wilfolk's bread basket to ensure the win. I don't count it to skill but will give the Pats praise for beating a rookie QB.

    QB and Schwartz D will hold us back.

    our DL games/stunts are junk. OL is a big issue too.

    And our QB gives us only one TD a game. Gangbusters.

    and we've scored a grand total of 4 less points than the Patriots have this season and btw Brady is only averaging 1 TD passing per game this season thus far as well.

    It's winnable, but not if they continue to play like they did today.

    Father time is catching up with him imo. He's still the best QB in the division and it's not close.

    Listen, to deny that the Chargers exposed the Bills all over is just pure blind denial. They got to Manuel. They got to the defense. Jackson & Spiller couldn't push it over the top today. Every other team we play will game plan like this.

    The Bills can't handle WR picks. They can't handle blitzes.

    They got to us in the first half no doubt. Second half the Bills D seem to recover but sadly it couldn't make a key turnover to help the offense out. Spiller was close though a few times he looked like was going to break it and the one time he did Chandler gets flagged. Yet I won't say EJ was good as he wasn't.

    I won't deny that but I think we have more talent on the whole then we have had in the past.

    We have other problems no doubt. A QB can overcome a lot of other warts.

    Re: Our division is so winnable

    That is the sad truth. This division is winnable this year, and we have the roster to do it. What we don't have, however, is a quarterback competent/capable of leading this talented roster.

    The Patriots have looked pedestrian. They got manhandled by the 1-2 Dolphins, their defense was the only piece to show up in Minnesota last week, and they were practically handed the game today after it was tied up before Kraft made his call to the refs. The issue is not Brady, it's the line as someone mentioned earlier, and the defense seems stout, but they don't have that "We're going to laugh when we're up by 50" feel like they used to.

    Miami is a conundrum. If through 3 games we have a feel for what each team is, I still don't with Miami. How do you crush New England, completely implode in Buffalo and then crumble to a decimated Chiefs squad? Knile Davis ran for over 100 yards, I'll give you a minute to Google him. They look lost with Tannehill under center and with Knowshon injured, Lamar Miller will help him lose games.

    The Jets look good. I won't sugar coat it as much as I hate them, but still it's Geno ****ing Smith at quarterback. I can't identify their defensive strength, and Rex just has the uncanny ability to make a decent roster look bad at stretches of the regular season.

    I really hope EJ can pull it together and at least be serviceable. He can never play a game like he did today again, or I as well as the other people struggling to hold on to faith in him are going to let go.
    Bye Bye Brady...

    Hate to say it but the Bills' ceiling is 8-8 with that stinky bum behind center. I don't think that would get them the division win.
