The AFC East, what can we expect from this division this season? The Dolphins have returned back to Earth. No one is fooled by the Wild Cat offense, nor are they worried about the non-threat Pennington is to throw down the field. It's pretty bad that the defending division champions aren't even talked about to repeat. The Fish caught a Fluke last year. The Bills have their hands full, not surprisingly, with T.O. and his big mouth. Did anyone think that T.O. would change his selfish and "it's not my fault" ways just because he moved to small town Buffalo? After the Bills' loss to the Patriots, T.O. threw McKelvin under the bus for taking the kick off out of the end zone and fumbling the ball, basically losing it for them. He also made it clear that he thinks Trent Edwards should make some improvements. And, he said "throw to me". Did he mention the fact that he dropped an important first down pass that would have kept a Bills' drive alive? No. Come on, it won't be long before T.O. alienates himself again from another team, which only means that you can take the Bills' out of the equation for possibly winning the AFC East. That leaves the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. Tom Brady clearly is back and is very capable of getting the Patriots down field fast. The Pats showed that they can come back and are just as good as they were before Brady got hurt, it's his team, so they will go as far as he takes them. As for the Jets, they gave the Texans a taste of their speedy defense, blitzing pressure and ability to run the ball and throw down the field effectively. Teams still haven't seen some defensive impact players, like Sean Ellis and Calvin Pace yet, and opposing teams also haven't had the chance to figure out Mark Sanchez. If the Jets can contain Brady and continue to mix up the offense utilizing Leon Washington, Thomas Jones, Brad Smith and Chansi Stuckey. This weekend, although it is only week 2, will be the biggest weekend for the AFC Eastern Division.
