MNF Gang (Gruden, Jaworski) predict the AFC East
 
Both think the Pats will win no more than 10 games and will be fighting for
2nd or 3rd place in the division and the Jets will win at least 11 games.

No earth shattering news,its what just about everyone in the media thinks....

Cool. So now we're back to our 2005-2006 "on the way out" status with the national media? Got it.

Funny, I looked at ESPN the Magazine's preseason predictions and Jaws has the Pats winning the division and the Jets as a Wild Card. This is why I hate when analysts do predictions. Many of them predict out of both sides of their mouths.

Dan Marino was famous for this. He would pick one team to win on Inside the NFL and then the other on the CBS pregame show.

Jaworski says less: "When you see this football team, they're going through a transition right now. You have Tom Brady. You have some mixing of the offensive line, per se. They've got to find themselves a couple young tight ends. It's going to take some time to assimilate those young guys in the offense."
WTF? Am I reading this wrong?

Whether he'll be right about that is soon to be determined.

Ah.

I think that's a bit dubious as we haven't really been reliant on TE production for a while now, but whatever.

Apparently having young, unproven players at TE might be an issue for the Patriots, but having a young, unproven player at QB is no biggie for the Jets.

Tony Dungy does the same thing. I can't keep track of how many times he predicts something on the pre-game show, and then goes the other way on the half-time show.

They also don't mention the problems with the Revis negotiations and the possibility he won't be playing for a portion of the season.

Without Revis the Jets will have to rely on their front 3 and very questionable OLBs to be as good as they were last season.

No, he however missed the part where NY and Miami have glaring issues on OL are trying to find some young QB's and it takes a while to determine if they can ever consistently assimilate into an offense...

And of course they both had some issues and losses on D surface this off season, and appear to have some glaring questions about their ability to mount any offense in pre season, but why get into that...
