Cincinnati. After our Bye last year we finished 8-3 in meaningful games (throwing out last Cleveland game). The team improved all of last year and we got better this off season. In our division we have the best QB, WR1, WR2, safety tandem, nickel corner, best MLB, and are top two in our division in just about every other position group except maybe O-line. Could we lose? Sure. But I don’t think last year was a flash in the pan. Remember, Burrow was still working his way back last year and I think after the bye is closer to what we will see with this team.

That said, we were lucky overall health wise last year. The Ravens were unlucky. We had some issues at LB but our depth there showed well. If we get hit with injuries to the wrong player or position group that could easily change who wins the division. All things being equal, we are the best team.

The Browns will be the most interesting. Will Watson get suspended and for how long? How will their WR group perform even if/when Watson plays. How will the locker room mesh? Wasn’t good last year before they added Watson and pissed off Baker (who was still on the team last I checked). They could be real threats this year or a complete laughing stock. Even with Watson they’ll still be a running team that moved on from their stud center in hopes their backup is ready to be THE guy.

-The Browns had the best offensive line and running --game in the division without Watson.

-The Ravens will be healthy with a hall of the ages in the draft. They got younger and much better with premium talent.

- If the Steelers figure it out at QB and the young weapons adapt quickly then they could be special!
They don't have an offensive line but neither did we and went to a SB.

I'm a die hard Bengals fan but we have to look at everything!

WHO IS OUR LG?

This division is brutal!

I just thought that it would be interesting to hear point of views after the draft and movement.

- I'd love to take my team but I'm taking the Steelers for some odd reason by a game to win the division over our Bengals. I think that we'll split outside of sweeping the Browns.

What ya think. I could see three teams making the playoffs out of the AFCN. OUR HEALTH WILL BE OUR BLESSING THIS SEASON.

Now let me ask you or others this .... How many teams within this division do we split with this season? Its a very strong possibility that we split with all teams this year. That doesn't win the division imo nor a home playoff starter.I need to put this in CAPS because fans are thinking that we're going to the SB this year as well! I know that its a talented team but..... Stop thinking it now until further victories!
