Wow... this is really tough question to answer. Especially considering, it's the AFC East. Well based on last season, here was the rankings:
New England Patriots
Total Offense: 7th
Passing Offense: 11th
Rushing Defense: 7th
Total Points Forced: 437 Total Points Scored
New York Jets
Total Offense: 12th
Passing Offense: 22nd
Rushing Defense: 3rd
Total Points Forced: 333 Total Points Scored
Buffalo Bills
Total Offense: 25th
Passing Offense: 26th
Rushing Defense: 13th
Total Points Forced: 395 Total Points Scored
Miami Dolphins
Total Offense: 29th
Passing Offense: 21st
Rushing Defense: 31st
Total Points Forced: 275 Total Points Scored
Now keep in mind Rankings are vastly overrated and they can at times be misleading... But I am amazed that our passing offense was better than the Bills and the Jets... LAST YEAR! Imagine with improved QB, Improved O-line, and a HEALTHY David Boston... That's asking for a lot, but it's possible. Just goes to show how much our running game lacked without Ricky Williams and with a terrible O-line. Now to sum this up.. here's my predictions.
Best Offense:
New England (Until proven other wise)
N.Y. Jets
Buffalo
Miami (Only for now... but we WILL prove otherwise.)
Best Defense:
N.Y Jets
Buffalo
Miami
New England
Coaching:
New England
N.Y. Jets
Buffalo
Miami
****EDITED**** Starting a world peace tour with Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, and New England Patriots fans... Nick Saban is cannot be placed higher than #4 in this division until proven otherwise. (I'm willing to accept that just to see the reactions once he starts coaching and winning games for us) anyone who thinks otherwise... like Nick Saban is better than Mike Mularkey or Herm Edwards, than apparently I think that's called being premature and speculative. :)
QB's:
New England
N.Y Jets
