The Road Thru the Years: AFC EAST

The road thru 7 years : AFC EAST
A Brief Chronicle of 2019 through 2025. The ups and downs. Division battles, individual achievements. The moves that bring victory or defeat. The transformation of a league over 7 vicious seasons.
This week’s look is at the AFC East. Arguably the toughest division in The SML. 3 of the 4 owners are handpicked from the primer. Elite owners that hit the ground running and have all made significant noise in the league. Comprised of Konk’s abrasive and instigating chat presence and super bowl appearance; QB’s insightful eloquence on every subject imaginable and dedication to the league and his super bowl win; KJ’s always fun and interesting chat presence and potential to play spoiler any given week; and finally the SML veteran and super bowl runner up Royce, this division is one of many Jewel’s in the SML Crown.
*this Entry was made before the departure of the Bills owner Konk. The SML is an ever evolving entity and thus alive.

From the Owner Prolific, to Konk the Bills have been an AFC power. Building through a combination of free agent pickups, blockbuster trades and smart drafting the Bills remain relevant and are never an easy win for anyone. A combination of Dangerous madden player, strong team builder and strong active chat presence Konk is an interesting SML character. Bang Bang Bang Niner Gang. As of posting this, polarizing Bills owner Konklusians has been replaced with primer star LatinYank. A powerful addition. Welcome to the show.

Royce has been the only jets owner and plays against talented owner’s week in and week out. Known as a good defensive player and strong runner Royce is a factor in any playoff race. He is not a big shit talker, the type of man who lets his game do his talking. His weekly articles are must reads. Any league would be lucky to have an owner like Royce and the SML is proud to have him.

The First Dolphins owner took an early break from the game but is back with the bears. The Current Dolphins KJSlander is great guy. Good family man, Titans fan and great SML owner. Active in chat, always works to get his games in. He has had a rough time finding a qb for his team. That is the Story of the SML 20 Dolphins. QB troubles. Kj plays tough and never rolls over. If you want the win you have to fight him for four quarters.

The Patriots have had a strong Run, from Brady to Goff. Envy to QBStud. Envy was an active but controversial owner, basically a combination of Meats and Konk. Considered Prime’s Achilles Heel Envy burnt out quick and has been replaced by a more stable but equally active owner in QB Stud. A former high school qb, this player dissects defenses like a surgeon. Sitting with one super bowl championship already, the Patriots have the roster and the owner to get another one.
I predict a division finish to be:
1st Patriots
2nd Jets
3rd Dolphins
4th Bills *(this prediction was made prior to the recent ownership change)
Tune in next time as we discect the NFC South and that ragtag quartet of heroes.
