Who Wins The AFCN "Honestly"

Why is it so hard for our fans on this forum to actually say "we are better than the Rats"? We didn't just sweep them we ran up insane offense on them:

82 points - 1095 yards of offense - 7 TD passes only 1 INT

Then there were our 2 Stealer wins:

65 points - 638 yards of offense - 4 passing TD 2 INT (ironically we had worse offense against the Stealers but still effective).

The Stains games were the outliers.. One was a true flop and a true bad game by Burrow before he really shook out the rust and hesitancy on the knee. The other was more a preseason type game as we rested most of our starters.

You don't think that an All-Pro CB, their top three RBs, starting LB, starting WR and starting DL were crucial? That's a bit shocking, but you are also quite vocal about not believing Joe Burrow is the guy for Cincinnati, so it shouldn't be too shocking I guess. 

Perhaps I am wrong here, but if Cincinnati was missing Chido, Mixon/Perine/Evans, Boyd, Pratt and Hill and went out to get absolutely flogged on the football field...I don't think we'd ever hear the end of it on these boards. All of this to say, I do believe we are better than the Ravens. Cincinnati is a genuinely good team, the best in the division by my eyes. The Ravens are also a good team, though, and to act like they didn't just have horrible injury luck is putting the veil over your own eyes.
