There's a chance that Stidham is as good as Brady, Mahomes, Wilson, Rodgers and Brees.
What's your point, other than ridiculous homerism? Because it's not logic.
Buffalo was #2 in the NFL in points allowed last year.
Buffalo was #3 in the NFL in yards allowed last year.
Buffalo also added Diggs to Beasley and Brown from last year, improving the team's WRs. The Patriots, meanwhile, were busy losing 2 of their top 3 LBs.
Why is it so hard to just admit the obvious around here? As of right now,
- The 12 win Patriots likely got worse.
- The 10 win Bills likely got better.
- The 7 win Jets likely got better, particularly if you adjust for the early season mono situation.
- The 5 win Dolphins likely got better.
- Given all the changes, this is a season where there stands an excellent chance of the Patriots not winning the AFCE.
Why is this problematic for you people to acknowledge?
