Meanwhile in the AFC North…

You kidding?
We all know what comes in December!!!

add to that
MT should let Ron Howard direct the offense to wins too
Will need the practice

 

Picked the wrong year for the division to end
all teams at 14-3.
Oh well.

 

Yes because Thursday are always kind to the Bengals Oline. Did you not get that memo lol

 

Well I believe the Bengals didn't look that bad against the Packers who many thought would be a juggernaut this season, and that their Defense would be awesome. I believe, and I could be wrong, but didn't Flacco have a better game than Packers Love did?? I didn't watch the game, so I'm not sure of this.

 

In the sense that he had 2 TDs and 0 interceptions, while Love had one of each. But love averaged 10.0/yds per attempt, threw 19 fewer passes than Flacco and outgained him by 40 yards. Love's rating and QBR were both more than 10 pts higher than Flacco's.

 

I believe in QBR as much as I do PFF, but thanks for the rest of the info.
So He didn't do too bad for a guy that just showed up to that team 3 days before.

 

This might end up being a game Rodgers and the OL look forward to:

 

Damn, top 10 picks for the division sans one team:

 

Steelers have put themselves in a great position but have had their easy part of the schedule and the Ravens have had their toughest.

After the Bengals we have the Packers, Chargers, Colts, Bills, Lions and Bears along with the rest of the division games. That schedule is rough and I can see them having another late season slip

If the Ravens get healthy I can see them running the table and pushing the Steelers all the way, albeit they have almost zero margin for error.

 

Personally think the Packers are overrated, at least defensively.

 

I don't like the "easy" schedule people toss around. Anything can happen any given week. We have seen countless examples of teams that are suppose to win and lose. Carolina comes to mind from Sunday. These guys all get paid and paid well and all are professionals. The parity in this league seems to get closer and better every year. Bills proved they can lose, Lions lost to KC and it was not even close.

 

The Packers have a lot of talent, but they're also young and immature... They had the undefeated talk was too soon, only to lose to the Browns 13-10 a few days later!

Still a very good team, but not mature and consistent enough to win a Super Bowl right now.

 

I was expecting Parsons to have a dominant game against the Bengals.

 

I tend to agree, but I got ragged by a few people on here when I mentioned that earlier in the year.

 

I think the Ravens have to sweep the 2 games against us to have a chance at the division title. If we can win one of the Baltimore games then the Ravens are in deep trouble.

 

This , and the Falcons are taking it to the Bills as I write this(don'tknow if it will last), but of course only Tomlin would let this happen. LoL

 

The Bills defense is almost as bad as the Ravens. Take away Josh Allen and the Bills are not a very good team. They win by having him play hero ball every game and try and overcome their terrible defense.

 

If we keep progressing, we have a real chance at doing something this year. JMO

 

This year is wide open, there is no dominant team. Whoever is the most healthy going into the playoffs will have a big advantage.

 

I know this is very premature but if we can win against the Bengals and Packers then we will go into the Colts game at 6-1 and the winner of that game will be the #1 seed at the halfway point of the season.

 

Shhhhh. Don't jinx us. LoL

 

The Bungles must be crazy. Who signs a 40+ year old quarterback? Oh, never mind…..
Anyway, I hope this is not a Tomlin game, you know, where the Steelers play down to the level of their opponent in a game where they should crush the other team’s bones to powder. The Steelers generally have two or so of those a year.

 

They basically get the division handed to them on a silver platter. If they cannot win it this year, I really do not know what needs to happen for them to do. It could not go better for you, two teams basically have no quarterback and the other is completely falling apart and looking demoralised. In fact, all those teams look demoralised. It is not wishful thinking anymore, they actually have to win it now. Everything else would be kind of embarrassing
