We made MAJOR improvements with our receivers and running game I also have hope for the O line so like I said look for big numbers.
I still question Philbin, but he's less of a mess than Rex.
The Pats are still contenders for the first spot because Bellichick always finds a way to make it work...

Cassel is still better than any QB the Bills have had honestly in over a decade. I'd also like to point out that while he wasn't great in KC, a lot of that wasn't really his issue. That team was pretty dysfunctional while he was there. The one real knock isn't his talent, but whether he can stay healthy.
The only reason the Bills WEREN'T a playoff team last year was because of bad QB play. It wasn't because of meltdowns or anything else, it was because their QB was just terrible. Miami had issues all over the place, mostly because of their coach however.
Without Brady for 4 games, the Patriots aren't in the drivers seat at all. In fact, I would go so far as to say that without Brady, the only game they'll be considered a favorite in those first 4 games will be against Jacksonville, and even then, that's not a gimme game.
Of all the divisions in football, the AFC East is by far the one that is up for grabs the most, and as a fan of football, I'm glad to see it. It's always more fun when there's a lot of competition in the same division like there was in the AFC North for several of the last seasons and in the NFC East too.
