Bills favorites to win AFC East, Expect a Pro Bowl season from Rodgers? | NFL | FIRST THINGS FIRST
New York Jets HC Robert Saleh said that he’s “not anticipating any restrictions” on Aaron Rodgers entering 2024. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes determine if Rodgers should be expected to have a Pro Bowl-caliber season, and which team will win the AFC East.

This video title sounds like a bad April Fools Day prank.
“ you didn’t have to mention Trevor Lawrence “ Wildes can’t miss 😂
Bro a bully 😂
until its time to read the fake letter
When it comes to mac jones all he does is miss
Wildes undefeated
He always misses
The bill have Josh Allen. Dude is a freak of nature
System qb
Wilds. "You didn't have to mention Trevor Lawrence"😂
Its fun when they each have their own team to support, Nick has Bills winning the A East, Brou has Jets, Wildes has Dolphins
wildes is a patriots fan too lmao
Nick hates the bills tho lol
@Deezy_Ankh it was less of him thinking the Bills are going to WIN the division and more thinking the other 3 teams are so bad the Bills can't really lose it. Essentially they win by default as the only non dumpster fire franchise at the moment.
No he hates when people try to put them in the same tier as the Chiefs.
@@roundhouse8003 exactly, the media and bills fans are delusional when they try to say that josh allen is as good as mahomes and thats what nick hates. Allen has never even been to a super bowl and mahomes is already out pacing brady in accomplishments xD ones the goat, the other hasnt even been to a super bowl lol
LaFleur does deserve credit for his offense. Hackett isn’t the reason that offense worked
100%.
Not Nick being almost nice to buffalo
His seething hatred for Aaron Rodgers is greater than his fear of Josh Allen.
@@samfisher2563aight you reaching with fear. I promise nick isnt concerned about josh allen beating the chiefs
@@samfisher2563 fear?
@@samfisher2563i don’t think anyone “fears” Josh Allen😂
I guess the only QB teams fear is Pat Mahomes by this logic
"you didnt have to mention Trevor Lawerence" 😭😭
“Yeah but he was also taking about mud floods” 😂 Wildes
Thank you for sticking up for Tua Wilds!
Rodgers might not make it past game 1 again
Josh just need to get them boys a super bowl win
Ya the wrs this year should really take the Bills over the top.
Even as a Packers fan, I think the Bills will be fine as long as they have Josh Allen. The Bills deserve to have a Super Bowl win at some point, considering how tough that organization and team have always played...
They're not winning the division.
@@kurtis636wrong
Absolutely there not winning the division
It sounded like Broussard was trying to convince himself Queen AR is " back " !!!
I was not once ever like. “Wow Trevor Lawrence looks like the guy” Infact every time I’ve seen him play the only thing I think is why is this guy supposedly so spectacular
Hence the nickname The Prince Who Was Promised.
Literally every time
Has never jumped off the screen to me
High hopes for my Jets but do something consistently to earn our faith ✈️
The Bills are winning the division, they have by far the best quarterback granted that Rogers doesn’t transform back into mvp form. Josh Allen would also have an MVP of his own if it weren’t for Aaron having his second best season ever in 2020 (48 tds 5 picks)
Josh doesn't have the weapons to get it done this year and he's no Mahomes. Bills miss the playoffs this year.
@@advancedstupidity5459 … 👀 …. I just noticed your name … and it all adds up really 💀😂
Best quarterback and the best roster even with the guys that left lol
@@advancedstupidity5459 Allen groupies are becoming delusional
@@advancedstupidity5459the short bus just pulled up champ. Sweet Pickles time.
I need them to DEFINE what the top defenses are in the NFL 1-10. Because EVERY segment there's a TOP defense according to them. On any given day any of these defenses are top 5: Bills / jets / chiefs / Patriots/ San Fran/ Cleveland/ Seahawks/ Cowboys/ saints / ravens / steelers. It's kind of obnoxious
Snuck in the seahawks😂
Seems like you just named your own top 10 with that list at the end. And any Top 10 should be able to play at a Top 5 level any given day, they just wouldn’t be able to do it consistently which is why they are Top 10 and not Top 5
Isn't anybody gonna address the Claypool curse? The second they signed him I wrote the Bills off lol
Claypool is a great fit actually for what buffalo is looking for a big body receiver that can go up and get jump balls from Allen nobody sees the signing as a curse
@@s98247hopium.
Claypool is a curse and a mfer that needs to stop pretending he likes football.
@@s98247 report back week 8 or 9
I don’t think he’s gonna make the team
I am very pleased with the decisions Beane/McDermott have made so far this offseason. There were some tough decisions that had to be made, and they made them decisively. The Bills will be younger and faster on both sides of the ball. The receiving corps will be more team friendly. Joe Brady will get to put his imprint on this offense for real. Allen is that dude. That defense will be feisty. *No one is talking about that badass #43 that put up Fred Warner like numbers last season.* Bring it on, baby.
Nothing wrong with at least starting the season full of hope...👍😅
@@lakeozarkrei3767 “this could be our year” 😂💀 nah for real the Bills will be fine. They’re not going to implode or drop off dramatically. They’ll do alright and put up a fight, but KC is gonna threepeat. Final 7 for the NFC probably will be the Bucs, Packers, Lions, Eagles, Cowboys, Rams, and 49ers. Final 7 for the AFC probably will be the Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, Ravens, Jaguars, Texans, and Chargers.
@@moose_tracks41they imploded last year. The scheme change saved the.. but teams are gonna be on that now and they have no WR currently that will command double coverage . They done
@@LKS-M9323 you can’t be serious. An imploding team doesn’t go 5-6, fire their OC, then pull off a winning streak that captures the division in the process. The main ingredients that got them through that mess are still on the team. Diggs wanted out, they let him go, it’s a win for both sides. They got the biggest pieces there to mix things right.
@@LKS-M9323if Buffalo imploded in 2023, what did the Jets do??? Go full Diddy & Drake?
- Jets on paper should win the division, but don’t trust them - Dolphins better win with that stacked offense
Dolphins are frauds
Buffalo is winning the division for a 5th year in a row
The Bills have Allen so on paper they should easily win.
@@axe2grind244didn’t easily win last season after that midyear slump, plus their schedule is expected to be equally as difficult if not harder this year too.
McDaniels is the great value brand Andy
Finally some unprejudiced analysis of the Bills by Nick. Finally! 🎉
He hates on the Dolphins sooo much more because he's knows they actually can beat KC
@@LKS-M9323Considering it's 3-4 with the bills and chiefs but keep it up. I'll give chiefs fans this you guys win when it matters but acting like the chiefs are unbeaten against buffalo is hilarious to me. straight up UNTRUE 😂😂
@@LKS-M9323Dolphins were 0-2 last year against the Chiefs. And the Bills went 1-1 and both games weee competitive
The pro bowl selection just doesn’t mean what it use 2
I think AR got a 30 TD / 5 INT season in him
I’m choking at this-lmao, never. 22 TDs, 12 INTS in 2024. Zero rushing tuddies Allen: 35 tds, 14 INTs, 15 rushing tuddies
28 td's- 9 int's and no vaccines.
He hasn't thrown for 300 yards in how long
The bigger question will be: Can Josh Allen become the NFL’s 1st 40-20 QB??? 40+ passing tuddies 20+ rushing tuddies… It can be done!
Or nah
The up coming flip flops jeans and T shirt guy. Interesting show.
Every year Jets are predicted to win their division and they're not even close, every time.
Huh!? By who?😂 Every show I've watched the lastv4 years have picked the Bills to win their division...
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
@@kelleywilson141 that's cool it's a new season and your hopeful, but the media always pump up the jets at the beginning of the year.
@@michaelwilkerson500 I disagree. They pumped them up last year and the last time before that was 2015. They had every right to pump them up last year. Nobody from 2016 to 2022 thought they were good.
@@kelleywilson141 well ok, they been pumping them up a couple years now. I'm just saying media loves them New York teams. Hopefully for your sake, the Jets have some production.
Justin Herbert is so unbelievably underrated on this show
Maybe Herbert is overrated everywhere else? Has he won a playoff game?…
Herbert is trash and he just lost ALL his weapons.
Huh? What has he done again?
@@samfisher2563 quarterback wins 😂😂😂
@@travo621 you’re not qualified to talk about this subject
A 40 year old coming off a major injury is supposed to be awesome because he's motivated??? I don't know about this one Brou. I'd suggest old and hurt outweighs motivated every day of the week on the football field.
Payton Manning did it after his neck injury/surgery but he was 35/36 years old. 40 is going to be tough.
Nick had to pick on who he dislikes the least, Rodgers or the Bills...😂
The idea of Rodgers being motivated this year really clashes with the memory that he was seriously considering a part time job as the host of jeopardy
Good thing you wrote haha
Then he went out and won back to back MVPs
@@Jamax99Jetfan and how many playoff wins?
Bills should clearly be favorites. Their defense is good every year. Josh is the best player in the division
Ain’t never seen Josh good without Diggs. Not never
@@timesizehe only had 1 season without Diggs 😂😂😂 rookie year when The GM changed the whole roster except for 3-5 players
Diggs became an All-pro with Allen lol
@@timesizeand before you say 2 seasons he didn’t starts his first year until almost mid season
@@timesize What’s with the double negative?
Wildes had Bru in a blender at the end.
Tbh, Tua and the Dolphins almost feel like the Cowboys of the AFC: great stat padding with the offense against "tomato can" teams, but not much else against actual playoff-caliber teams (and a poor defense, seemingly)
And you believe that the jets can suddenly stay healthy with their hospital offense?
@@chiwonyi4024 No, and notice that my comment had nothing to do with the Jets...
Dude don't copy the stupid narrative the media came up with. Crazy that Tua with a terrible team and a coach that didn't want him beat mutiple winning teams. Now Mc Daniel is there and he has a good team around him they want to say he can't beat good teams and literally only use 1 season to back up their arguments . But with every other QB when they talk about accomplishments they always use past stats to show consistency. Never with Tua tho. Extremely disingenuous
@@LKS-M9323 you talking to a wall at this point. people just jump on whatever is easier to jump on
Why do we have to agree with Brou that Rodgers is more motivated than his 2nd MVP season when a few weeks ago we were all talking about his *cough* VP candidacy? Man, his years post football are going to end up worse than Favre's, and he won't have many endorsements to keep him busy.
Nick & Wildes hate on the Jets HEAVY Brou is making valid points
Lot of things said wrong in this segment Bills had best defense (severely injured) and offense in this division. AFC East is the Bills world till somebody else wins it
Bills defense can't touch the Jets defense sorry
@@MistaSinista8865 I mean maybe but results show differently. I’ll take Bills D every szn with a 27 yr old elite QB vs a 40 yr old QB coming off an ACL and a slightly better D. Jets always play Bills tough in MetLife.
"Gonna surprise some people... win five games..." 😆 Wildes roasting his own team
Stop picking on Brou. But it is funny when Wildes joins in.
Brou: I have even mentioned Tua and Trevor Lawrence Wyldes: you didn't have to mention Trevor Lawrence Freakin Wyldes lololol
Kaaron Frauderes and the Jets will only got a game or 2 above .500 AT BEST. This is the AFC, and he is a FRAGILE HAS-BEEN.
Why with the rodgers hate?
@Denverfan420 cuz hes a chiefs fan...
What was that mumbling BS about Rodgers health, he could have played last year well he did for four plays. Is he younger or quicker, more nimble, 😂🤣😂 please. In order to make the probowl or have a probowl season you have to be healthy the entire season.
I mean the motivation to join the likes of Joe Namath is decent motivation
Jets always find a way to fail
So does buff and mia
Except when they win the Super Bowl which the bills haven’t done.
@@armanvranka7520jets won a world championship. It wasn’t the SB back then. Bills have AFL championships as well. Jets have been the worst pro sports franchise since 1970. You are coping pathetic one. Can’t cling to a title that you, your parents and grandparents never saw. Now run along. The adults are taking football
These guys are forgetting that pro bowl means absolutely nothing.
Uh, when did we see the Jets lose Rodgers and Hackett and be “fine” on offense. Did this guy watch a single snap of football last year?
nick's suit looks crispy today.
Pro Bowl shouldn't be a benchmark on whether or not a player has a good season. Nobody cares about the Pro Bowl
nick's suit looks crispy today
-Said no one, ever
@@jesusdanielgarcia3952 why?
Roger’s 😂 dude got hurt the first time he got hit last season. You really think he’s going to last the full season? Jets should have drafted one of those young quarterbacks first. They could have got JJ. Instead they got someone that won’t be easy for a while. I see sarong getting hurt again very early. He’s to fragile now
He got hurt on freak play, hes healthy , why would they draft JJ ? Hes not and NFL ready qb. Jets have really good oline now Rodgers will be fine. He has weapons now. Would have been dumb drafting a backup qb . They also have T Taylor as a backup. . S Darnold will out play JJ Jets win 11 games this year.
AAR is too distracted by his persona
Every Starting QB is motivated. How does Brou not understand that Rodgers is that shallow actually lol, he's obsessed with winning over the media narrative or to be the top news story. Thats his entire personality.
He's motivated because he was embarrassed when Brady went to the Bucs and won a SB. And got there going through Rodgers and the Packers. He thinks he's better than Brady.
He can think that, but it's delusional. He's not in the same class as Brady. That's pretty obvious at this point.
@@ronshd7769talent and skill he is better and overall also.. But he does choke every year tho
@@RobertJohnson-zk1ye The mental and emotional aspect is just as important as the physical. Without it you have Jameis Winston.
@@RobertJohnson-zk1ye Overall? Talent and skill, maybe. But a QBs greatness isn't determined by talent. Statistically, they're comparable. One guy just wins, the other doesn't.
Can we stop acting like Mike Williams be missing 10 games a season he literally plays majority of the season every year except the last 2
Bills better team better coaching and much more competitive than the other losers in this division. Tua sucks AR is old and patriots will never be relevant in my lifetime going forward
Wilds should explore the mud flood…. Put the crayons away little boy.
As a Bills fan, they got a lot to prove after unloading a lot of vets. I think Miami has a better shot to win the AFC East this year
Amazing to see Broussard assume health for a guy made of glass in Mike Williams but say Joe B is injury prone and tough to assume he'll stay healthy though he played 50 games in a row before his injury lol
Why do they keep calling the year he played with a thumb injury on his throwing hand his last healthy year? His last healthy year, he was MVP.
One thing that wasn't mentioned: Who's playing DB for the Bills this year? Tredavious White? Gone. Jordan Poyer? Gone. Its basically Rasul Douglas and a handful of backups that are now starters. Yes Josh Allen is the best QB in the division, but the Bills are a worse team than last year in the other 21 positions on the team.
You didn’t watch last year. Tre played 3 games after barely playing3 the year prior. Poyer was done last year, so was Hyde. Rap played great, Douglas was all-pro, as was Johnson. Bernard & Milano were the best LB tandem when they were on the filed together last year. Ed Oliver was equal if not better than Q for the Jets. I didn’t even get into our RBs, TEs, the WRs we have and of course….17 and his 51 total tuddies last year…
Cole Bishop. Taylor Rapp. Mike Edwards. Rasual Douglas. Christian Beneford. Taron Johnson. The Bills secondary will be lights out again. Well-until the playoffs, then TBD.
I do understand Brou’s thinking. The whole point of sports is for everything to fall your way including health. If Jamal Murray gets hurt, Denver ain’t winning. And he does always get hurt, but the ONE time he didn’t, they got there. It’s cool to believe, if Kwahi can get lucky, he can win it again
Wow, even Nick can't deny the fact Buffalo is the best team in the AFC East..Go Bills!
Being the tallest midget is a great award to win.
Brou is clueless asf wtf is he talking about 😂😂😂😂 brous jets😂
Broussard has the worst NFL takes. Still enjoyed the segment.
How many Aaron Rodgers segments they gonna do this offseason?
For a guy they talk about as if he’s a non-entity
Preach! We need to talk more about Mahomes & Allen.
It’s welcome from me. It’s always the same people mahomes, Allen, Dak, purdy.
Miami has entered the chat.
Why😂😂😂😂
Because they have an offensive genius head coach, OBJ as receiver 3, and didn't have the kind of losses Buffalo has.
@russelljackson8153 They also don't have the upside at QB though. Let Tua beat someone in the cold and we can talk.
I would take Josh Allen over anyone else in the division, true.
@@russelljackson8153 ya lost half of your defense
I’m a big Rodgers fan but I just don’t trust the jets o line
Even with 3 new starters and drafting another in the 1st round?
Sames. He’s not going to be able to move either after this injury. Slow m, old and injury prone ain’t the formula to unseat Buffalo
@@chetjablonski1993 coming from a Bills fan. Josh Allen going to be running for his life cause his wr's can't get open. Jets win the division pretty easily. BILLS miss the playoffs. They had a good stretch beating up on zach wilson and Mac Jones.
Josh Allen was just average before Stefon Diggs. Buffalo defense isn't near as good as they were a few years ago. Jets on paper look like the favorites but they are 1 injury away from the wheels falling off. Dolphins play great against sub-500 teams. Personally I can't pick a division winner. If I had to pick because my feet are in the fire I would pick the Dolphins.
You’re delusional with this sad pathetic take. Bills & Allen are wining this division for a 5th year in a row
@@chetjablonski1993Huh? Check Allen's stats before Diggs kid... he ain't wrong 😂
Brou doing the EXACT thing he accused Nick of doing with Brunson. He’s only hyping Rodgers up because he plays in NY. Unreal lmao
Are u dumb , he’s a 4x mvp
I don’t think Rogers is motivated at all. He’s all talk now. Wait until he takes a big hit.
Bro Tyler Huntley was a pro bowler a year ago the pro bowl doesn’t mean a thing nowadays
I'll take the over on 300 yards+ @ 5.5 but Jets will still lose... 7-10.
AR is the OC. I thought these people did this professionally. Embarrassing.
So the Jets defense was great but not great enough to give credit to the Dolphins for smoking them twice last year
Jets had No offense, No QB horrible oline. Defense on field alot.
@@Jamax99Jetfan the. They’re not a great defense. The Steelers and the browns weren’t making those excuses
It’s so funny hearing Brous take and it being completely wrong 😂
Jets are gonna be mean this year, they went 7-10 with Zach Wilson... Aaron is leaps ahead of him, even at 40. Gonna be an entirely different team than the last 2 years
Yall believe in joe burrow comin off a hand injury to prosper but Achilles Rodgers jus cant comeback from right ...THE BS
41 year old Rodgers is going to come back from an Achilles and go to the pro-bowl? Marino had trouble doing that at age 33 or 34. I don't buy it. It'll be the Bills and Dolphins 1 and 2 in either order, but I am leaning towards the Dolphins.
The LeQueen of the NFL
What you fail to realize, even tho you get paid to discuss these things and simply bypass this, is Rodgers was willing to comeback and 75% give or take knowing mobility was not going to be 100. He was willing to do that to help a hungry team win now. How about instead of cracking jokes, that aren't funny you put some respect on his name.
At it again with the Allen love, only to have them not play well, then week 6 they change their tune.
Allen is the definition of a Rollercoaster. Nicks been right about him for years and people called him a hater.
I have never seen an entire nfl team and fanbase do high in a season and then immediately see a crash and burn like Rodgers last year. It's going to happen again. He didn't learn humility.
Bruh Nick acts like the afc west is stacked smh
Rodgers in 2022 threw double digit int's for the third season in 18 seasons yea single digit int's for Rodgers duhhh
Hey Jet haters, the New York Jets are going to take the division this year better believe that!!
lmao Wildes "the frisky patriots who are gonna shock some people and win 5games" lmao
Nick needs to interrupt and shout over Brou more. Otherwise it seems like a conversation. /s
When Rodgers has 35 tds and less than 8 ints and has 4000 yards and the jets win 12 games nick is still gonna say he’s washed
Yea cuz the afc west is such a strong conference Nick lol
The disrespect of allen on this show is crazy 🤪 allen has no w.r why is he the favorite again
Buffalo 🦬
Sure Rodgers can have a pro bowl season. He will get to play in it, because he wont be in the super bowl
Nick obviously takes issue with anyone that refused the jab. NYC lost the lawsuit keeping kyrie out and it was never brought up again.
Brou constantly instantly humiliated by facts but just screams louder and pretends he's not a pigeon shtting on the board.
With a defense like the Jets. 30 touchdowns & 8 interceptions is def enough to Win Afc East
Yawn….rodgers isn’t Brady. He wasnt playing at Brees level when he was traded. I’m curious but doubtful
Idk what the Jets will be, but if they pop off Brou is going to EAT 😂😂😂
Brou thinking he knows anything about anything other than basketball, will never not be funny to me 🤣🤣🤣
Except these guys to stay healthy first time ever on that field is not happening
Nick wearing the seat cover from a 1977 Buick LeSabre as a jacket today.
Why does nobody seem to mention that before Green Bay faced the Jets, Aaron Rodgers was 3-1 with 6 TD passes by week 4. Week 5 comes against the Jets and rodgers suffers a thumb injury on his throwing hand. Lingers the rest of the season. But yeah a “healthy” season with a 2.1-1 TD:INT ratio. Just watch
He’s 41 and coming off and Achilles injury, Father Time is undefeated.
The Jets was 7 and 10 last season you saying Aaron Rodgers ain't worth three wins
You saying Josh Allen won’t beat dat???????????????????????
As a Jets fan I have my own delusions but the Jet media haters all make valid points. Hackett is a complete drain on this offense and injuries are certainly a concern. I think if the football Gods tread lightly on us with the injury bug (which they never do) then we could easily be an 11-6/12-5 team, but only time will tell.
