This a team that already had a lot of egos clashing in the locker room last season when things went badly. Also, their head coach is rather brash and signs checks that his ass can't cash. Adding crowd favorite (for whatever reason) Tim Tebow to the mix and saying that you are going to bring him in when the Jets are in the red zone cannot possibly make an inconsistent QB (Mark Sanchez) feel good about his job security and I'm pretty sure that he will start pressing and doing foolish things. Fans will start chanting "Tebow! Tebow! Tebow!" and eventually get their wish. He will become their starter somewhere around mid-season and they will find out that he's extremely profficient at completing passes with the ground. The Bills were one of the best bad teams in football last year. Will they improve on that? Probably not, but if they do they will finish better than the Jets in my opinon. I personally think that both teams will be somewhere between mediocre and crappy with the Jets slightly edging them out. Of course the Patriots will dominate this division. The thing with Oakland is that in order to buy into them you have to think that Carson Palmer is going to have a good year. Since early in his career, Palmer puts up nice statistics and then throws a late game interception to barely lose the game, but looks pretty good in defeat. He's kind of like Tony Romo, but he wins less. |
This is a better explanation than I could have offered.
I'd like to add that I think Oakland will actually finish at the bottom of the AFC West this year. At least from what I know of the Chiefs this year, I expect them to be significantly better. The Chargers are just a toss up on whether or not they suck, but I think they won't be any worse than last year. And though I'm clearly biased about the Broncos, I do think that they are a much better team than they were last year.
