I realize that every media outlet kisses their asses, but how is that even possible?! We had a great draft; they had a shitty draft. We should have beat them in the playoffs but they were saved by fumble when the game was all-but-over and then a no-call of a coach illegally being on the field. We get our QB back, who was having an MVP-like season before he was hurt in the second game against them. Their secondary is horrible and mostly either aging or young and not good.
People will say "we had to play most of the season without Bell, and he's one of the best backs in the league!"You only lost three games without him last year, with one of them being to Baltimore (who is horrible, but still swept you), and we beat you in the playoffs with our back-up QB until you cheated.
How are the Steelers ranked ahead of us?!
Better QB than the Bengals. Check
Better O-line than the Bengals. Check
Better RB Corps than the Bengals. Check
Best WR in the league and probably, without Bryant, equal overall WR Corps
Defense is close to equal with the secondary bringing it down so edge to the Bengals there, but not even close to a big enough edge to make up for the huge talent gaps between the two offenses.
