    I'm the only one that thinks the ravens , browns take a step back?
    I know they have good teams, but their Qbs are not good, and they're going 2 want 2 really see what they got in them this year before they make that big pay out.
    Therefore the step back.

    I have the Browns stepping back because I think they are the team most likely to implode from high expectations. The Ravens are regular season wonders under L J, and I think they’ll continue to be regular season wonders and then one and done in the postseason.

    I could see the Ravens falling back, but the Browns had a huge influx of talent from FA, the draft, and with players returning from injury. They also have the best OL in the division, one of the best in the league, and a top 5 roster in general.

    I think they only go off the rails if Mayfield goes rogue and tries to win games outside of the system.

    They need to stop giving up 40+ in big games to be taken serious, not this year is my guess.

    Everyone assuming Bengals will be bottom.

    Remember the Bengals way is to pull a major winning season out of nowhere every 5 or 10 years. If Burrow stays healthy and their new receivers work out then this year could be it.

    That’s a lot of ifs but no more than the other teams in the division

    They have a talented roster no doubt, but I hope their Dream Team goes the same way Philadelphia's did a couple years ago...

    The North is going to be a tough division this year, there should be some really good games.

    I agree now they do but in Ben's prime he was much better leader then anyone in AFCN. IMO Burrow will be the best in division soon.

    Not sold on Burrow being anything more than the next Chad Pennington at this point. He's got a popgun arm.

    Steelers could easily be in last place if Burrow stays healthy all year. This isn’t going to be pretty.

    The Bengals still don't have a good OL, or a defense, I'm not buying into the hype about them.

    I'd feel better if they had a clown like Hue Jackson or Freddie Kitchens at the helm. I think Stefanski is the real deal.

    The Stains were nearly defeated by Mason (with backups) in a do or die game at their place to get into the playoffs last year. Plus, we blew them out the 1st game we played. I think they' re overrated and also since they are the Stains, they suck. JMO>

    The Steelers, Ravens, and Browns had the 2nd, 1st, and 4th easiest schedules last year.

    This year it's 1st, 2nd, and 9th hardest.

    Everybody is going to take a step back in wins.

    Najee will add to the offense, but we are going to have a brand new or new to the position starter at every spot on the o-line. There will be lots of growing pains. Bens going to have to get rid of the ball fast like last year, or risk injuries. We'll probably end up seeing both.

    The D will come to the rescue, but they'll play too many snaps. Injuries will build up and we will fade after a good start.

    Browns 10-7
    Ravens 10-7
    Steelers 8-9
    Bengals 5-12

    Steelers play eight 2020 playoff teams this season including three from the championship games. 9 win floor for Tomlin.

    If schedule were the only factor, maybe. The Steelers' roster got worse, the Browns' better.

    For me, the X factor is (besides the roster); did our coaching staff get better? This is a rhetorical question as no one actually knows yet and it will take some actual game time to see if it has or not.

    It's easy to tell the younger fans from the older fans. This feels like 1980 or 1981, Steeler fans indignant that some upstart team from Ohio is going to knock them from their perch. I hope you guys aren't prone to addiction - you could be in for a rough couple of years.

    Yep....young fans have no clue.....

    The Browns have won four NFL championships (1950, 1954–55, 1964) and four All-America Football Conference (AAFC) championships (1946–49).


    In addition to their four NFL championships between 1950 and 1964, they won 11 NFL American/Eastern Conference championships, three NFL Century Division titles and AFC Central Division championships in 1971, 1980, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1989.
