Best Team in AFC East?

[Southieinnc]

They won the division last year, so they play a number of teams in the same placement in their respective division.
So theoretically, yes, their schedule will be harder than;
A) the Pats
B) Their schedule last year.
But their coach should have them ready for that. Blaming the weather and immediately trying to downplay an opposing coach after a loss is bad optics. Saying to a reporter that you essentially don't trust your KO Returner or P returner is bad for morale. Bad coaching.

So Buffalo got KC, Washington and Pittsburgh
All teams were under 500 at that time.
Strength of schedule can be deceiving!

Patriots got Dallas, Chargers and Cleveland!

Because someone mentioned coaching as the source of their downfall. So if it is the same coach, I would think there is a different reason they’re struggling. Like a harder schedule or…?

This...

It’s apparent the Bills weren’t prepared to play in the brutal elements last week, never once practicing outside. That’s straight up negligent.

Some teams played their best in dead silence. They never had to deal with opposing teams' fans. At least not a full stadium of them.

Only their loss to Pittsburg is from their first place slot. The others are from either thier division or opponents every team in their division play this year.

Buffalo got KC, Washington and Pittsburgh.
The 2 odd games plus the 17th game.

After the Patriots win over Buffalo, Sporting News, ESPN and Sports Illustrated dropped them a position in their weeklu rankings.
