NFL Season Preview: AFC East

Will Pennington Lead The Dolphins To Another Title?
The AFC East was anything but usual last season. One star quarterback came in, while one was lost after only 8 minutes of play. Another quarterback won the Comeback Player of the Year Award for the second time in his career. That’s right, the Patriots did not win the AFC East last season. They didn’t even make the playoffs in 2008. Chad Pennington and the Dolphins took full advantage of Tom Brady’s injury and went 11-5. The Pats, who also went 11-5, lost the tie-breaker to the Dolphins and finished in 2nd place. Even though Tom Brady went down early, Matt Cassel stepped in and played his way to a big contract with the Chiefs. Behind Brett Favre, the Jets looked strong early but went only 1-4 down the stretch. The Jets finished 9-7, but were only able to finish 3rd in the division. The Bills started strong as well, but couldn’t manage a win in their own division. Despite the struggle within the division, the Bills still managed to win 7 games. The Pats dynasty may have lost the battle last season, but the war is far from over. Can the Patriots reclaim the division title, or will Chad Pennington lead the Dolphins to glory again?

NFL Season Preview: AFC West

Are The Chargers In For A Collapse?
It should come as no surprise that the Chargers finished atop the AFC West last season. However, things did not go as planned. The Chargers had to win their last four games of the season and hope that Denver suffered an epic collapse down the stretch. Both happened, and the Chargers still only finished 8-8 in 2008. The Broncos, who had the playoffs in their sights, dropped the final three games of the season and watched the Chargers steal the division title. The Oakland Raiders continued their ineptitude with a 5 win season, and the Chiefs were even worse. The AFC West, however, had a very busy off-season. Two new quarterbacks, two new coaches, and a lot of drama filled the AFC West this off-season. Meanwhile, the Chargers got healthier all the way around. Is this San Diego’s division to lose, or will another team step up and challenge the Chargers?
