(my emphasis)Yes, the Buffalo Bills are stuck in a division with the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, and yes, the Pats have won 11 of the last 12 AFC East crowns. But it actually appears as though Buffalo—which is coming off just its second winning season this century—and its AFC East peers may be closing the gap on New England.
...
But did they get strong enough to slay the Goliathan Patriots?
...
No wonder the Bills led the NFL with 54 sacks while being one of three defenses to record 30 or more takeaways last season... There's little doubt they'll do extensive damage again in 2015.
...
The Bills are taking a lot of chances here, and it'll inevitably help with ticket sales as they build hype around a team that suddenly possesses a lot of familiar names and faces. But will that be enough to get them back to the top of the AFC East for the first time in 16 years? A lot of stars still must align.
steelers last 5 games against afc east opponent:AFCE is a joke.
no comment yet on steelers losing record against such a joke of a conference...AFCE is a joke. try playing in the AFCN LOLOLOL jokers
The National Football League is one of the most profitable businesses in America, yielding almost 10 billion dollars in annual revenue – yes, billion. With a B. So why is the NFL considered a tax-exempt nonprofit, meaning they pay absolutely nothing in taxes?
As Americans like you and me prepare to pay our taxes, it really makes me angry that every single one of us will pay more than a gigantic business like the NFL. Other sports leagues like the NBA and MLB pay their fair share in taxes, so why shouldn't the NFL?
I'm proud that a State Senator in my home state, Brad Hoylman, has introduced a new bill in the New York legislature that would effectively revoke the NFL’s nonprofit status. The NY legislature has this power because the NFL is headquartered in New York City – in fact, in the same district that Senator Hoylman represents.
I started a petition on Change.org calling on the New York legislature to pass Senator Hoylman's bill to strip the NFL of its tax-exempt nonprofit status. Will you click here to sign?
Nonprofit laws are supposed to help organizations that serve the public good, organizations that need the money they would have paid in taxes to do important, charitable work. I like football like millions of other Americans, but I don't think anyone in America would see the NFL as a charitable organization! It just doesn't make sense that the NFL would get the same financial protections as a soup kitchen.
There's an obvious reason why the NFL enjoys its tax-free privileges: The NFL spends more money on lobbying than any other sports league.
The NFL might have more money than you or me, but that doesn't mean we can't make our voices heard. Last year, a petition to Congress on this issue got more than 400,000 signatures. I know that if we can put that same kind of pressure on the New York state legislature, we can solve this issue for good.

pats last 5-years results against the afc north:and ali if you don't think that the Pats would automatically lose at least 3 (their better years) to 5 (their worse years) games a season if they so happened to move to the AFC North; I don't know what to tell ya.
Guion was pulled over for a failure to maintain a single lane, at which point police found 357 grams of marijuana, a registered gun and $190,028.81 in cash. Guion has maintained the cash came from football paychecks.
Katz said Guion reached a plea deal Tuesday in which he paid a $5,000 fine, and as a first-time offender the charges were dismissed.
Court documents on the case were not immediately available.
Meanwhile, Guion's separate civil case — his attempt to retrieve his money and vehicle from the arrest — is ongoing.
