Who Wins The AFCN "Honestly"

Here's the truth.  If all the teams stay healthy, Cincy is the best team.  We have the best QB (and Burrow is only going to get better) and receivers by far in the division.  We tackled our biggest problem hard in FA, and potentially improved our secondary speed and versatility greatly.

Browns:  Watson may not play at all this year, he's never played in cold, he doesn't know the team and he only joined the Browns because of the money.  He's gotten paid and it's guaranteed and he has NO incentive to play well, except pride.  I believe the NFL is going to bring the hammer down on him to the point where he might not play until 2024.  The Browns are the Browns until they prove they are not, and Watson is such a BROWNS move, that I can't believe you (and so many others) are falling for the hype.

Ravens:  They are going to be a singular offense.  Lou has figured out how to play scrambling quarterbacks, and they certainly have figured out LAMAR.  Most of their offense in two games last year against us was on long bombs to Brown on scrambles.  Brown is gone and he has no one to throw to.  If they rely upon a singular running attack and short game, they'll get killed by our speed and Lamar will end up on IR from over use.  We smoked them at full health early in the year at their place, then did it again later on.

Stoolers:  Decent Weapons and runner, a defense that gives up tons of points a yards, but has the best sacker in the game is not a defense to be feared.  A new rookie QB, new system, NFL speed.....good luck with that.

There, that is my "honest" assessment.  I believe we'll go 5-1 or sweep the division again.

Well said and totally agree.

I chuckle a little every time somebody talks about how tough the Browns are gonna be even if Watson plays 10 games or something. Watson and the Browns aren't going to just hit the ground running like he's been there for years.

The Browns have won the preseason Super Bowl what 3 of the last 4 years ? I ain't buying it.
