How do you all think our division will play out next season? I can see the Bills becoming a legit problem with their defense. Jets will always be bad under Gase. This year I expect a big dip in the Pats production. They are finally not hitting on these undrafted/low round draft gems. Their last two drafts have been almost complete busts. Maybe luck is sliding to Miami for next season?
Predicted Record:
Buffalo: 10-6
NYJ: 7-9
MIA: 9-7
NE: if Brady is back, 9-7, if he's gone, 6-10
 
Patriots with Brady: 10 - 6, Without Brady: 6 - 10. Don't forget they may also lose a slew of other F/A. Jets: 8 - 8. Bills: 10 - 6. Miami with a Good Fitzpatrick: 9 - 7, With a Bad Fitzpatrick: 4 - 12. Gotta remember Fitzpatrick had one of his best seasons in Miami last year. He's been a hot and cold QB his entire career. Nothing has changed. And now you add in Gailey, who Fitzpatrick has already had 1 very good season and 1 completely abysmal season under. Makes you wonder, if he's due for another terrible season?
 
What will the team look like? It’s way too early indeed. Lots of turn over likely so who do we add? I can’t predict anything right now
 
Will at least be easier to try to do a week from now when we know most of what has happened in FA. Bills look super strong with Josh Allen. As others said, no idea what Pats are doing at QB. Jets look like a **** show and I'm loving it. I think with 7 new starters between FA and draft, we could be the #2 team in AFCE this year.
 
NE 11-5 (with or without Brady, tbh 42 year old Brady wasn't carrying that team last year)
Buff 10-6 (doubt the needle moves either way with this team this offseason.
Fins 6-10 (don't like the coaching changes yet, willing to be proved wrong)
NYJ 5 -11 (Never gonna be anything more than 8-8 with Gase in charge. could swing up by a couple of wins, but personally I'm not sold on Darnold at all.)

not sure about that. they have just a little less than us in available cap room

Yes they do, they've also got to resign a few players (or find replacements) that were big for them like Shaq Lawson and Jordan Phillips, they have something like 16 free agents this off season. 10-6 is a good/great season, it's going to be tough to replicate that but with the cap space they've got they could do it, winning a game or two more than they did last year is kind of a tough task, that's why I expect more of the same.

I suspect Brady to be back in NE. I'm not giving numbers, but NE wins AFC-E. Ne needs a dominant receiver. would have won more games with a legal Gordon
Bills - I'm not a Josh Allen fan. OK with a run game. Not impressed with the game in his hands.
Miami - far too many unknowns. New coaches, new FAs, rookie class. I expect to at least equal 5 wins in '19
NYJ - Gase will lose them a few they should win
 
NE 11-5 with or without Brady
Buffalo 10-6 Wildcard playoff team
Jets 8-8
Dolphins 5-11
