If they won 8 with those guys, 11 isn't outta the question this year.... Again this is all on paper, but I'd say the only AFC teams that are definitively better than them are KC, Baltimore, and probably Buffalo... Houston looked awful last night. Who knows with NE? I might be selling the Colts short. Hopefully we're better.
Interesting way of looking at it....from the AFC standpoint. I agree about Houston. Indy is a true wildcard. No idea what to think of them with Rivers. I guess you could say the same about the Bengals, but if Burrow can be Burrow and have the Bengals in the hunt at the midseason mark, I think the defense will start to soar down the stretch and might even get a healthy Waynes back for the last quarter.
If I had to pick a surprise team in the AFC that everyone seems to have thrown dirt on it would still be New England. They have an outstanding defense and coach, and a good offensive line that could help Cam have a renaissance.
A lot of people are thinking the Raiders will be good, but I was a little turned off by their draft. We will see.
It amazes me when I see talking heads (like Cowherd) going on about teams like the Cardinals and I am thinking: "What position groups do they have that are better than the Bengals?". Maybe there are some, but it sure hasn't shown when I have watched them. We know that every year a team comes out of nowhere and makes a run. I am hoping it is the Bengals, of course.
