    This is certainly an interesting season. I would have never thought we all would be 3-3 right now.

    Is the AFC East the worse division in football right now?

    Well at least this will stop the 'please let's go 5-11, or 2-14' posts for a week.

    It's the most 'competitive'. For now.

    The AFC West ain't too hot either. I mean last year an 8-8 team won the division and it doesn't look like it'll take much more than that this year.

    Yeah call me in another month, it still wouldn't shock me if the Pats had a two-game lead by then. I mean their toughest games left are Houston/SF and both are at home later in the season.

    It seems every team in the AFC except the Texans are just in shambles. Steelers on the decline, Ravens just lost Ladarius Webb and Ray Lewis for the season, Cincy not looking too hot, Patriots not living up to expectations, even Manning's Broncos don't look too strong. might see an 11-5 with a first round bye week this year in the AFC.

    Whole AFC Esat division is 3-3. In divisional wins the they are:

    Jets: 2-0
    Pats: 1-0
    Bills- 0-2
    Phins: 0-1

    If we beat the Pats, which is a huge if, the season would be ours to loose. I know it sounds stupid, but honestly we have so many winnable games after the Patriots that if we don't win it's either that we choke or loose more guys to injury.

    The Jets remaining schedule after week 7 is: Dolphins, Seahawks, Rams, Patriots, Cardinals, Jaguars, Titans, Chargers, Bills.

    Patriots remaining: Rams, Bills, Colts, Jets, Dolphins, Texans, 49ers, Jaguars, Dolphins

    You tell me which one looks easier.

    Honestly, when you think about it, there aren't that many "good" divisions in football right now. Take out the few powerhouse teams and everything is just blah.

    Dumbass Mike and Mike in the morning said before the season they would be suprised if anyone in the division besides the pats win more than 5 games. That the pats WILL run away with the division. Fuck Mike and Mike in the morning what a BS show

    at 3-3 the experts will all pick the Pats as a top 10 team in the league and the Jets as a laughing stock. but in the end, all that matters is that we are all tied for first.

    This.

    When the power rankings are released this week, Pats will be a top 10 team and fins/jets/bills will probably be in the 16-19 range.

    It's ridiculous.

    It seems like all the "experts" just like the teams with the best statistical QBs.

    Once we made the decision to go with Tannehill, I lowered my expectations from 7-8 wins to about 4-5. I'm pretty happy with the team's direction and excited about being in the thick of the race even though I don't think we are quite talented enough to sneak in the playoffs

    Yeah and it's unfair at times but its a QB driven league and if you don't have one, it sucks ... as my team has found out for 13 years lol

    Power Rankings don't mean shit but futures do. Losses in Seattle and Baltimore by 1 point each aren't much of a knock, imo. I don't know what the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins have done to warrant a top 10 pick at this point.

    THE SEASON IS OVER! THE SEASON IS OVER! BENCH SANCHEZ! FIRE EVERYONE!

    Oh.

    We are tied for 1st place with a chance to take control next week in New England.

    Nevermind. My mistake.

    No they don't mean jack, but the (irrelevant) point remains that the media will still portray the Pats as far and away the best team in the division despite an identical record.

    A loss is a loss. 1 point or 3 points (as my team knows twice :mad:) ... The pats seem somewhat vulnerable to me, but remain the champs until someone can take the belt.

    For sure, power rankings are a joke.
