not sure why you assume that the Bills are a given to be better than the Jets or Dolphins.
without looking, they have added Stroud and K.Mitchell only right? They already had a good defense, but I don't think that Stroud coming off an injury or Mitchell are going to push them into the elite category.
ok...I did look and they also added Spencer Johnson...doesn't change my previous opinion
on offense they invested heavily last year in O-Line and drafted M.Lynch, and their running game wasn't that good. they ranked in the bottom half of the league. Also, T.Edwards exceeded expectations as a rookie, but that hardly means that they are guaranteed good or even average QB play this year.
I am by no means saying that I think that either the Jets or the Dolphins are going to be better....just that it is far from certain that the Bills are the second best team in the division.
The running game wasn't that good? Lynch only played 13 games and ended 11th in the league and had a 4.0 YPC. It's the passing offense that lacked and the Bills are looking to add a tall WR with Bryant Johnson. If they don't sign him they are certain to get Kelly or Sweed.
