Bengals have grown more and more finesse. Finesse will beat Bills and KC. Not AFCN teams. They can’t get to the playoffs to beat KC if they can’t get out of the North. They are getting bullied by all the teams in the North. All of them. Even the supposedly bad ones with coaches under fire. Ones on their 4th and 5th QB. That spells trouble in the coming seasons if they don’t reset their focus.

Lol, you guys tell us how he Steelers, Browns and Ravens have changed since last year.
Bengals won the North the last 2 years.
Watt Highsmith, Hayward have been on the Steelers as have Najee Harris, if anythiing the Steelers have tried to pass the ball more. Their offense has been horrendous. But thier PASSING game killed us. So it is NOT the Steelers who became tougher.
The Browns have had the same oline, RB, TE and receiver. Their defense added Smith and Tomlinson, picked up a safety, but Garrett, Newsome and Ward are still their best players, always been there. Browns have tried to throw the ball more this year as well with Watson. Flacco is averaging over 300 passing yards - not smash mouth football.
The Ravens offense is the same as last year except they added 2 WIDE RECEIVERS (that's smash mouth football right?). Their defense is the same from last year.
Comical takes, but not surprised. We didnt have a healthy Burrow for almost the entire season, Zac's play calling has always been an issue of disagreement. But the players on this team WON the North the past 2 seasons, none of the 4 AFCN teams changed that much.
So you tell us how the Steelers, Ravens and Browns built themselves this year to beat us.
