If you think they see what a beast Hill is, then why aren't they giving him props when he was the best back in the league in the second half of the year last season, and that was despite having games with only 8, 12, and 13 carries, but I guess those stats are wrong, huh?  I guess the fact that we were crippled with injuries to our offensive weapons, making it even harder on Hill to succeed because defenses could load the box, doesn't make it even more impressive, does it?

WHAT ON EARTH WAS I THINKING?!

First off, the opening comment here is stupid. Baltimore has an overall smaller TV market lol. THIS IS WHY YOU'RE A JOKESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lolzie
The Cardinals have a smaller market and a tiny fanbase, yet they are still ranked 8th. The Colts have the 25th media market and are ranked 7th. We are ranked above Pitt, when we easily could switch with them. If they do what you are accusing them of, no way they put us above the Steelers or Baltimore that high. 

Also, to the Hill stuff, the issue is that it was only eight games. You gotta chill out and think of the sample size here. Can I ask you to rank the best WRs in the NFL? I expect OBJ to be easily the #1. 

What about CJ Anderson? Is he the #2 running back in the NFL? What happened to Doug Martin, or a Michael Clayton? Eight games is not large enough to just say Hill is the best back and will dominate the Bengals to the superbowlz!!! Take an objective look and remove your homer goggles for one second. I love Hill and think he is a great back, but I'm not even sure I expect 5+ YPC out of him. 

It's fair to have the Ravens ahead (though I disagree because I dislike Trestman vs. Kubiak, among other reasons) considering they only had a slightly worse record, trashed the Steelers in the playoffs, and looked great against the Pats, save for their 99th string secondary. They also have significantly better coaching and have proven to be a competitive team, even in their worst years. 

Their defense was also much better than ours last year. All three teams atop this division are close, but there are arguments to be made for or against all of them. Coming in and refusing to take an objective look at things while being stupidly stubborn is not the way to go about these debates.
