So far it really does appear to be weak. If the Bills hold on to win this game and the Patriots simply beat the Phins and Jets in a couple of weeks, the Patriots could win the division simply winning one other game/ending up with a 9-7 record. Not to say that would be a good thing to end up 9-7......but it speaks to how weak the division appears to be.

They wasted way too much time earlier on.

Miami: 44 net yards passing, 12 net yards rushing, 1 earned first down in two full quarters of football against a mediocre Bills defense? That is EPIC ugly....

We can only hope that they keep it going for another couple/few weeks.

I still think that they aren't utilizing Bush properly though. They were doing much better earlier in the year giving him the ball + getting it to him in space on RB passes.

Miami is not a good team. That's why I want them to win this game.

Remember 4 weeks ago when the entire division was tied at 3-3?

Oh how things have changed.

Dolphins lose tonight and the AFC East is done. Sadly, Bills have been **** in the redzone tonight so it's still not over.

if the pats pass D can't do well against Miami in a couple of weeks, i have no hope for that unit.

While this game sure makes that a reasonable judgment call, the math says otherwise. We are effectively 4 games up on Buffalo with Buffalo unable to directly cause the Patriots a loss. The Phins are 2 games down and have the ability to effect those 2 Patriot losses themselves.

I'm not worried about the division race. I'm thinking of potential playoff matchups. Buffalo has been able to light up the Patriots defense. I'd like to see their season ended as quickly as possible.

I don't follow the Phins very closely so I'll take your word on it -- as the Phins sure seemed more effective on the offensive side of the ball several weeks ago. However, I have always suspected Bush's level of play was more hype than actual results (again, just my suspicion -- I don't know his stats).
