AFC Beast: 2005 *was* an anomaly
 

Last year, the teams in the AFC East combined for just 28 wins. If people b****ed about the "AFC Least," it was largely in comparison to the previous three years--in which they combined for 35-37 wins each season.

Well, with three weeks to go, the AFC Beast has already equaled last year's total.

If the JEST can find a solution at QB (maybe it's Noodlearm, maybe it ain't), and if MIA can get a QB who isn't MIA, I shudder to think what this division will look like two to three years from now, especially if BUF decides to find someone off the Belichick coaching tree. :eek:

Good points about AFCE resurgance.

PHINS:
Turmoil over Saban and possible sale of the team???
Biggest problem - No playoff calibre QB; Gotta spend draft picks to get one
2nd Biggest problem- few vets signed; maxed out on cap this year so cannot extend vets. Will lose FA vets; not a FA player in 2007; outlook is not good for improvement except thru the draft

JESTERS:
Mangini, the Traitor, is the real deal.
Penny a.k.a. Noodle Arm, is OK to get to the playoffs and maybe even win a game. Not a SB guy. Go with the kid?
Who's the RB of the future?

BUFFALO:
#1 problem is the owner and the organization
JP Loserman is not a playoff caliber QB
Despite poor coaching, they always field a strong D & STs
Great cap position; will be a playah in FA 2007

PATS:
Extremely well positioned via both draft (2 #1s and lots of picks) and cap (around 10th, over $20M) to refurbish the aging LB corps and add DBs
Capable front office will refurbish the team and Brady will be well armed to persue another ring in Feb 2008
