I know I’m as biased as they come but let’s make a quick bullet point argument of why I think the Patriots will win the AFCE.
- Bodden/Ty Warren return from injury
- If Matt Light re-signs there will be no major free agency departures
- Entire defense returns with another year of experience
- TFB
- BB
The Jets are clearly the only other contender but most of their wide receivers and cornerbacks aren’t even on under contract right now. So yeah some of them will re-sign, and some of them probably won’t. And any new guys will have to get up to speed pretty quick, especially if the first 3 games are lost and the Jets end up opening their season in Foxboro.
The NFLN dudes also get into some discussion of Randy Moss potentially joining the Jets. I’m all for that if it’s at the expense of Santonio Holmes or Braylon Edwards. There’s no question those two receivers are far more suited to the Jets offense.
And I mean come on, Mark Sanchez hitting Moss on a 60 yard bomb? Never. Gonna Happen.
