Really good coach. Really good defense. Assending offense. They had a really good finish to the year last year winning 7 of their last 8.
Yep, they'll be in the mix. They were considered a joke for most of last season and still had a winning record. I hate them, but there's no doubt you have to assume they'll be around an 8-9 win team as a floor.
As for us, the Bengals are night and day as to what we were prior to the past 3 or so years. Clearly a powerhouse team (As of right now) and the FO is doing nothing but emphasising that. Zero reason we shouldn't be a #1 seed consideration.
I agree with what's been said about the Jets too. No doubt Rodgers is a heck of a QB, but it doesn't always work elsewhere. I know an NFL team isn't JUST the QB, but at some point you have to consider his lack of playoff success. Joe Burrow was one drive away from making more Super Bowl appearances in his first three years, than Aaron Rodgers has made full stop. It wouldn't shock me if they're good, but also wouldn't shock me if they aren't.
I think Denver might get it together moreso this year. Miami clearly going all in and are a team to watch, but QB a big ? for them. To be honest, the AFC runs through KC in my mind, and I still think we're the best team to dethrone them of that. I say that objectively too.
