basically guys says NE thinks they can beat Bills and Bills will not beat NJ Jets and Phins. I agree that they will beat Jets now

Respectfully, I think you need to go back and reread the fan letter and Mort's response, or your own comment. Something doesn't make sense. The fan said he thinks that NE is confident of beating the Bills with Bledsoe at QB, but that Buffalo might be able to beat the Jets and Dolphins, thus taking out the Patriots other division rivals. Morts response: The Patriots dragged their heels, lost a chance to trade outside the division, and made Buffalo a very "interesting team."
