As long as Tom Brady is with the New England Patriots, they will be a title contender. They will almost be guaranteed a playoff berth. And they will just have to get guys who can run around and catch and Brady will figure out how to throw to them properly.

The issues with this division lies in the lack of other playoff possible teams. Miami is a lost cause right now until they can step up around Ryan Tannehill. They have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, but they need to scheme it properly and get a couple of balls to bounce their way this year.

Buffalo has the defense to compete for the playoffs, but their quarterback situation is questionable. With E.J. Manuel coming in as a rookie, they would have a truly raw quarterback from a team that doesn't know how to coach them. Kevin Kolb is the same thing.

Then there's the Jets. Insert Jim Mora, "Playoffs?!" here. Once the circus dies down around the Jets, they might have some ability to win some games. But Rex Ryan needs to cut the garbage out and push the team into a semi-quarantine mode for that to work out.
