What number will be greater, total Patriot wins or combined Jets, Dolphins, and Bills wins?

Why the Jets suck? Aside from being stuck in the perennial permanent purgatory of rebuilding mode they went and changed their uniforms to some generic arena crap that looks like something a 12 year old would design for a custom team in Madden.
Preseason hype: NFC East is going to be awesome!
Postseason reality: Patriots take first place with a 4 game lead.

Postseason reality: Patriots take first place with a 4 game lead. how's Daniel Jones been looking in OTAs/minicamp? any faith that Eli can find the fountain of youth this year? how's the O-Line look in front of him and weapons wise with WR, TE, RB?

Wishful thinking for both Ny teams to make the playoffs but I expect them to die a shitty mediocre death again this year
I've defended Eli more than most of the people around here, but I think he should hang it up after this season if he is a turnover machine and hands over footballs like a department store Santa at Macy's.
The Giants are probably still lacking on both side of the ball and need to add some more weapons through the drafts, and the Jets haven't done a damn thing of note in almost 10 years. They always look like a patched together team of "Who's". I've seen a number of Jets fans say they can name 1-3 players and have no idea who the rest are.
Prediction: Giants and Redskins fighting each other to stay out of last place, and the Jets will probably fall into the basement behind Buffalo and Miami while New England goes on cruise control and wins most of the East games to the disgust of most of the fan base.

Dolphins - my team - they suck because Marino retired... Marino could of gotten a Lombardy if he had left Miami for some other team that knew how to build around him. Marino kept Miami relevant and afloat the whole time he was there (1988 was their only losing season record of 6-10) until his retirement. After retiring following the playoff loss to the Jags in 1999 which was just sad to watch, the Dolphins fell into the basement. 4 playoff appearances in the last 20 years post Marino era.
Miami is another team that has been a revolving door of coaches, and QB's. In similar fashion, the Buffalo Bills had the same problem. Once Jim Kelly retired in 96, they fell off the face of the Earth and haven't been able to get back to their "glory days" when they were getting stomped in Super Bowls.
God, I remember a time when it was the Dolphins and Bills fighting for the top of the AFC with the Jets somewhere in the middle, and the Patriots were the bitch boy jobbers of the AFC.

You don't like what you see in Darnold? Would you rather build around your division rival QBs in Allen and Rosen?

For the Giants entry it should simply say "Eli Manning"
But seriously though, I think the Giants will be dead last this year. Going to be interesting, do they take a QB #1 or do they think Daniel Jones is the answer? Could be a Murray/Rosen situation again but Rosen likely is going to be better than Jones.
Also, for the love of God how can the AFC East just continue to be incompetent outside of the Patriots for what now, 15 years???

^ Also, what's this guy on?
I feel like I should call social services.

As far as the Raiders - saw yesterday that Derek Carr apparently has a very fragile ego and needs to be coddled like a child at times.
i.e. he's the employee that needs a pat on the back and be told that he's doing at good job all the time.
Was unaware of this.
I thought the Raiders missed an opportunity to get another #1 pick for him when they were loading up on #1s - and drafted a new QB of the future.
I also did not like the Antonio Brown signing. What direction is the team going? You traded a beast of a linebacker to Bears to re-stock the cubbard and load up on draft picks (young talent) essentially stating you're in rebuild mode (which I though was smart) - but you hold onto Carr and then sign an aging prima donna headache of a WR in Brown.
If you're going to go young and rebuild - go all out - don't halfa$$ it. They've got '0' chance at a Bowl. Maybe the thought process was they needed to sell some tickets moving to Vegas - IMO the move will sell itself in Vegas - astonished at the gate the Golden Knights in the NHL got when I thought games would be a morgue and ghosttown.

Here’s the thing about the Raiders: they didn’t NEED to rebuild. What was it, two seasons ago? They were right there, up and coming team with a QB that may not have been Drew Brees but certainly wasn’t Jamarcus Russell. That was a team that could have done something. And then they go and hire the single most overrated coach in NFL history who is still riding the glory of a Super Bowl from 17 years ago that he had so little to do with. This team is once again pathetic and will remain pathetic as long as he is there. Appropriate that he’s moving to a town where there is no substance under all the style. The guy who wrote up the Raiders in this article nailed it. I don’t see more than 4 wins on this roster as they whimper their way out of Oakland.

On Jameis Winston:
“It’s high time Ben Roethlisberger finally retired to spend all day bitching at his caddie, so that Jameis can formally take over as the creepiest shitbag QB in football.”

It's a shame Barkley's career is going to be over in like 7 years probably. Life span of a running back doesn't last too long. Albeit he's a stud - was kind of baffled by the pick - being their team was a mess they should of traded down and nabbed one of the QBs in that class along with another area of need. Should have traded up previously to nab Desean Watson a few years back too. Think he went like 10th and I was screaming for the Giants to trade up since Eli is shot.

The comments on these are almost as funny as the article. My favorite Giants comment:
“The Giants are to the NFL Draft as what a Grizzly Bear is to a 4-year-old’s birthday party. Sure it’s a spectacle, but in the end, everyone is just searching for answers.”
