The 2nd best team in the AFC East is…

[BillsFan619]

…the Bills backups.

 

I got a kick out of this when I saw it. Do you remember the days where people thought that maybe the Alabamas in the college world could beat our Bills?

 

2021 is gonna be fun. Go Bills!!!

I was thinking the same thing watching the Bears game the other day. We Definitely have the second best QB in The AFC East.

I know we probably won’t be able to but it would be awesome if we could keep MT around a year or two longer.

Yeah, there is a strong argument to be made that Buffalo has the 2 best QBs in the AFC East.

He’s certainly in the top four. 

 

Maybe top two, with good coaching.

Hey Doc! Can you please go into the future and then come back and let us know if the bills win it all in 2021?

 

By the way, Back to the Future is my favorite movie of all time. So, I love your forum name.

If you're a BTTF fan you know I can't do that.

I guess there’s no Sports Almanac for me then and we’ll just have to see how it all plays out.

Slow your role a little there. 
We could all easily be signing a different tune about Mitch if he’s forced into duty this season. If he had to come in for a relief appearance in the playoffs and bombed we’d run him out of town in seconds on this board. It’s just a preseason game. Great for banter and hope but certainly not worth a contract extension 😂😂

Oh, I totally get it.

 

Sometimes though, the best backups are the QBs who have some starting experience. Fitz is a good example. MT will most likely be gone after the year anyway.

 

Go Bills!

Yeah I don’t wanna hate on him.. But I have watched him crumble in quite a few big games. He’s off to a great start here. Great coaches. But I hope we never see him play in a Buffalo uniform again this season.

I agree. JA the whole way!

Aside from maybe the Bills backups, no one else is close to NE.... I despise them but, They have a pretty decent team....

The Jets are a joke.

Miami has great receivers this year and a great secondary, but that's where it ends.

Miami might give an interesting game for three quarters but we blow them out one game too...

No way Miami beats Buffalo.

No way NE beats us either but they will make it closer one game....probably with a ton of help from therefs.

 

Bottome Line: We sweep the East again.

 

KC is our challenger, Tampa too.....

 

Buffalo is all alone ranked #3 in the NFL, imho. We are solid everywhere and We have an elite offense.

We will have no ugly stats this year (barring catastrophic injuries.) Knock on wood.

 

But NE is a distant #2 to answer the question.

Good thoughts, bro!

 

The patriots, because of their defense and BB could be a distant second. You could make the case for Miami too but I just don’t believe in Tua. They’re a decent team and could be competitive at times but I believe he’ll bring the team down.

I know there was some discussion about this in a thread a long time ago. We had a few fans say our backups would get destroyed by other teams. I contended, and still do, that our backups could win 6 to 8 games. Our backups are more talented than a lot of the drought teams. Trubisky is better than just about every drought QB we had (you could make the case for Tyrod, of course).

 

A guy like McKenzie or Davis would have been the featured receivers on most of the drought teams and we would have been excited about McKenzie's speed and quickness, and the route running and size of Davis.

 

I think the defensive secondary is where is would get shaky.

I think the Jets might actually surprise some teams this year. I think they will have a good defense. I could see them getting 5 or 6 wins.

I'm not sleeping on NE. 

They're getting Gilmore, Hightower, Van Noy , McCourty , JC Jackson . They're going to have a potentially great D. If they can establish an elite run game, which I expect em too, they can be a sneaky team in the AFC. 

Remember,  Belichick's embarrassed after last year.  He's looking for the Kill

As usual, good thoughts, MJS.

 

It’s very cool to have the depth we have this year. Some of our backups may have been starting for our drought teams. Heck, even JA’s first year.

 

Don’t know if it’s a testament to how good we are this year or how mediocre we used to be. Probably a little of both. 🤣😜

I think New England is (joking aside) likely the 2nd best team in the AFC East this year. Close between they and Miami but I think if New England just get a little bit better QB play with their opt outs back and their upgrades they are probably the 2nd best team.
