It has been a miserable past 13 years to say the least for the Jets. They have consisted of utter disappointment and missed playoffs year after year. The 2024 Jets will look to flip the script and end the streak.  There is usually one or two big stories about every NFL team, but this team has a lot of major stories. The first one is Aaron Rodgers. Yes, he will play. But how good will he be? He's 40 years old coming off an achilles tear, but he's still one of the greatest to ever do it. Keeping him healthy is the recipe for success for Gang Green.  He has the supporting cast to make this offense elite. The main duo is Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. Wilson, entering his 3rd year in the NFL, has had back to back 1000 yard seasons with five different starting quarterbacks throwing him the football. This does not include Aaron Rodgers. With a healthy Rodgers, the sky is the limit for Garrett Wilson.  Breece Hall will also enter his third year in the NFL. He has already assert...

  After an 11-6 record in 2023 but nothing to show for in the playoffs, the Dolphins come into the 2024 season hungry for more success. Miami has not won a playoff game for the last 24 seasons since 2000.  In what looked to be a promising season a year ago, turned out to be just disappointment for Dolphin fans. Miami was sitting at 11-4, controlling their own destiny in the AFC East, heading into Week 17 and 18. They dropped those two critical games to AFC foes and not only lost the division, but also dropped to the #6 seed. This meant they had to travel to Kansas City where Patrick Mahomes has lost one career playoff game ever.  You can infer what happened next as the Dolphins season fell short to the eventual Super Bowl champions. Miami is hope to change the tide this upcoming season. Most recently, Tua Tagovailoa was extended through the 2028 season to remain the Dolphins quarterback.  There was lots of speculation whether Miami would make Tua play for this contra...

  Once again, another season for the Bills falls at the hands of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Buffalo has been to the playoffs six times in the last seven years, yet they have still not been able to advance to the big game.  The Bills won the AFC East for the fourth time in a row last season, lead by Josh Allen. Allen put up great numbers in 2023 but that was with a lot of weapons that he will be without in 2024. Buffalo took a hit this offseason with many notable departures on both sides of the football.  Obviously the biggest news this offseason for the Bills was the loss of Stefon Diggs. Josh Allen's favorite target was traded to Houston this offseason for a couple of late round picks. Diggs had always seemed to have lots of verbal confrontations and clear frustration with other Bills, so it wasn't surprising that the Bills felt it was time to move on.  Along with Diggs, Gabe Davis also walked in free agency as he signed with the Jags. Just like that, Josh Alle...

  After 24 years, the Bill Belichick era is over in New England. For the first time this century, the Patriots will have a new coach in Jerod Mayo to oversee the team.  An abysmal 4-13 record was the final straw for Robert Kraft to send Bill Belichick out the door. There were mixed emotions up in Foxborough whether Belichick should stay put or if a new era of Patriots football was needed. Kraft chose the second option and here we are.  There were many rumors with who Kraft would choose to become the new head coach, but he decided to stay in house and promote linebackers coach Jerod Mayo to the spot. Mayo, a defensive minded head coach, will look to continue the Patriots defensive dominance that we have been so accustomed to witnessing year after year.  With the mediocre record the Pats had in 2023, they landed the third overall pick and took Drake Maye. They are hoping that the quarterback out of North Carolina is the long term answer in New England as they have stru...
