Who Is Our Biggest AFC Threat?

NOTE

This is NOT for Home-field Advantage. This is strictly, who do you think our biggest threat to winning the AFC is.

I voted Steelers but I have the Steelers as 1A and Bengals as 1B.

I don't trust Dalton coming to NE and beating us, but the Steelers make me a little nervous. They are just explosive (and yes, I know we beat them w/o Bell already).

If Ben is healthy, then the Steelers are our biggest threat.

I still say we will be significant favorites.

Bengals!

The squealers could be tough with that offense. Bengals look good.

CIN, no doubt. A very talented, pretty healthy team right now. That might change but they have a real good defense and a real good offense. I still don't trust them in the playoffs but only time will tell.

Broncos... with Osweiler, lol.

More injuries

Cincinnati. They are healthy every where, explosive on offense and have cornerback depth for days.

People keep writing off the Bengals, talking about them not getting it done on a big stage or playoffs....That is a stupid way to approach it. They only have to get it done once and the Bengals look like this is the year they could do it.

The same people predicting the Patriots would stomp the Giants are the same ones that write off the Bengals.

Bengals right now IMO.

Pitt is good but losing Bell for the year again is tough.

They are the #2 team behind the Bengals though and if you think they are the bigger threat you certainly have a case IMO.

steelers, bengals are top threats to the afc.

hope deion sanders is right, he is penciling in the pats for at least afc championship game

The Bengals obviously. Regardless of their history they are the best team in the conference next to us. I definitely think we beat them if we have Edelman back and no additional significant injuries. Plus the line will have healed up somewhat.

Upon reading the thread title, that was my immediate thought.

And the one's ****ting themselves about the Bengals are the one's that thought the game was over at HT yesterday.

The Bengals have the best roster on both offense and Defense, and they have the fewest injuries. Besides the only team who looks like they can beat them are the Cardinals.

I wouldn't fear them as much if I knew that we'd have home field advantage, but unless they start to get some key injuries over the last half of the season, they'd be a tough team to beat on their home field in the AFCCG, even with Marvin Lewis at the helm, especially if Edelman and a few OLmen don't get back soon.

Bengals. Better defense than steelers and just as good if not better offense.

Any team that makes playoff if we cannot get JE back.

Where's the option for "Injuries"?

Pats beat the Steelers and now both teams are simply just more beat up. Colts gave their best effort possible and couldn't beat the Pats in Indy. I can't see the Donks doing anything substantial the rest of the year due to not having anything resembling an offense.

So it's gotta be the Bengals. Their defense is for real and Dalton is playing well this year. I still think that the Pats get HFA, but I fully expect to see the orange and black make their way up to Foxboro for the AFCCG game this season.

We're on to Cincinnati
