PFT AFC EAST Preview

[BuffaloSoldier2]

Wow. Dareus as a rookie is not better than Langford or Stark. He may get there but not this year. Kyle Williams is marginal against the run. The Bills may have the worst LB core in football. Merriman? The only way he's got his skills back is if he's juiced. Their OL is worse than the Dolphins, and that's saying a lot. Fitzpatrick to Johnson is a nice combination but who else does Buffalo have that compares to the Dolphin's receiving corp. Fitzpatrick is only slightly better than Henne 2010 but who knows 2011. Jackson is a descent RB. Florence is not better than Sean Smith (not according to Profootball focus, anyway). The Dolphins will not lose two to Buffalo. Although Buffalo has improved in some areas, they're still not as talented as Miami. DolphinISS, you must be a closet Buffalo fan. Go ahead. It's OK. There is no stigma for coming out of the closet now-a-days.

Fair points and I can't argue too much. Dareus has looked like a monster in preseason but it is still the preseason. But I think Nick Barnett and Kirk Morrison is an upgrade over Paul Poz in the middle. In his one game in the preseason, Merriman had 2 sacks in one quarter. The Bills lost 3 OT games to playoff teams. I don't think it's a stretch to say that if they improve the 5th worst defense in the NFL to medicore, they will win more games.

And what does talented even mean? Fact is Brandon Marshall is "more talented" than Stevie Johnson, yet Johnson outproduced him. Fitz is less talented than Henne, yet he outproduced Chad. Fred Jackson played D3 and wasn't drafted, yet he is a far superior rb to former #2 overall pick Bush. to quote your from GM, "Potential just means you haven't done crap."

Langford is a plugger only..Starks has had one good year in a phins uniform...Dareus was the number 3 overall pick and maybe the best defensive player in the draft..His potential is through the roof....Langford and Starks have maxed out..Langford is not getting any better....He in a monster...he has been virtually unblockable in the preseason...I hope I am wrong....Langford gets no pass rush..Starks too for that matter...Kyle Williams is a monster too ...Its your opinion but to me I feel like there is around 7 to 8 players on their team that would make our team better. Suh was a rookie last year..didnt stop him from becoming maybe the best d linemen in the league.

The funny thing is, besides maybe Fred Jackson, there is not one Bills starter I would take over a Dolphins starter. The Dolphins are just a much more talented team than the Bills.

We had more talent last year when we split with them. Our coaches need to find a way to get this team over the hump. I think after that Pittsburg loss last season the wolf left the building.

IT's funny that you guys trash this sites for their predicitons and all you do is trash the Bills. If Fitz starts the opener, the Bills sweep the Fins. Kyle Williams and Dareus will improve the run defense tremedously and Merriman completely changes the defense if he can stay healthy.

I won't predict the Bills making the playoffs, but I think they will make noise. I do think the Bills are a better team than the Fins but I would not be shocked if the Bills, Jets, or Fins finish in 2nd. IMO, the Bills have the 2nd best qb in the division and that makes a ton of difference. If Henne or Sanchez steps up, then perhaps the Jets and Fins make the playoffs.

But stop acting like it's a shock that most people outside of Fin fans think the Bills are better than the Fins. Reggie Bush scares no one.

I dont think the bills sweep the fins... I have us splitting it. Buffalo may finish ahead of miami this year - but only if new england sits its starters in that last game.

Also, Buffalo has a tough schedule.... so does miami.

game one will tell the tale i think.

Also, New england will finish ahead of the jets.

Did you watch your jets the other night against the giants? tell you the offense looks good? Your defense is very good but sanchez sucks, always has, LT and Plax are finished. Greene is a bull but can he stay healthy and do it for a whole year being the main guy? Open your eyes kid and stop overrating your jets.

We have a very good division. Mia and Buf are just unlucky to be in a division right now w/ the Jets and Pats.

You do realize that was preseason, right?

 

[rvz1020]

Yes I do. Im talking about last year too. And this year will be worse because I think Plax instead of Edwards will hurt you guys. LT is another yr older and I thought he was finished after 4 games last yr.

Langford and Starks are top 5 DEs. They're 3-4 DEs theyre Not supposed to get pass rush, any pass rush at all is a bonus. Also lol at Langford lacing out. Been in the league for 3 years = past his prime apparently.

Langford is not past his prime..just saying I dont see him getting any better..He is what he is..a run stuffer...This excuse that 34 ends are not suppose to get pass rush is upsurd..Miami is not just running a straight 34, they play alot of 43 looks...Langford maybe a better 5 tech than Dareus but Dareus can be moved all over the line..Dareus has played 1 3 and 5 in games..Langford does play some 3 but is just too damn slow..Dareus uses his hands like MMA fighter man..He is the real deal..Langford gets no pressure none..Starks had one good year..If this league is passing league who would you rather have? A one dimensional end in Langford in a versitle monster in Dareus..He went number 3 in the draft for a reason. When quarterbacks have all day long in the pocket do you think they are going to take away the points cause we play a 34 and 3 out of 4 rushers cant beat their man?

In case you missed it we were a game away from the SB last year and this year we don't have a 4 game Holmes suspension. We are going to be really good again.

 

[Sarnics13]

I am telling you right now that even with the best case scenario the Jets will not win more than 9 games this year.
You will see the Pats win less than last year also. DONE!!

Mark my words...

I could see the Jets having a down year..Its just so hard winning the tough games year in and year out..they have done it 2 years in a row..I dont think Plaxico Burress is going to be great opposite Holmes..Mason either.. Losing Edwards will prove to be bigger than they thought..I dont think their line will be as good but it still will be good..There D will be the same as it was before..Pretty much good all around...I still wonder how they have not gone out and got a player that can get pressure on the qb..Seems like it would have been the one thing they would have gone out and done..They addressed their d line but lost some key players on it.

I wasn't talking about potential. Potential is next year. This year Dareus will not be better than Langford or Starks. Suh is Suh and perhaps the best DT prospect in the last 10 years. Also, Von Miller will have a better year, so no, he won't be the best defensive player in the draft.

I am talking about both potential and right now..Right now Dareus is better than Langford and Starks..Have you watched any Bills games this year? I have watched 2 Bills games and all 3 Dolphins games..Dareus maybe the next Warren Sapp...He is that good..Von Miller is a good player but if the Broncos cant stop the run he wont be able to get after the qb very often...Dareus has great pass rush moves and with Kyle Williams next to him I really cant see how they dont stop the run.
