Who Is Our Biggest AFC Threat?

[Nunchucks]

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

How's your hyperbole? I watched the entire game on Sunday and think the Bengals are a serious threat. I am pretty sure there are lots of people just like me.

Obviously it's the Ravens. They always give us tough time in the playoffs and.....oh,wait....nevermind.

 

[Lansdowne]

Bengals. They are the best team out of that group, and even with Dalton's history, we've lost to worse QB's in the past. Particularly, Mark Sanchez and the Jets back in January 2011.

Injuries.

I don't think Cincy has the coach to unnerve the Hood, but I think if Rex gets into the playoffs he might be able to get into Bill's head, he nearly got him to do it in the first game. I'm not saying that as a bias bills fan either.... living in New England I watch every pats game and so far, really Rex is the only one to get Bill off his stoic stance. The Pats will handle cincy, they choke every year in the playoffs. If I had to pick the from the 4, I'd say Pitt but honestly, I think Rex is the coach to unnerve Bill, they go back farther than anyone no?

Yes, I understand the Pats own Buffalo, but Rex as a coach is one of the better ones against.

congrats on the win, hoping for a good game next week.

Uh, probably the other AFC team that's undefeated?

Tough question

I think the Bengals are the most talented team both on offense and defense. I do question their qb and head coach though and think we have a huge advantage for both.
The Steelers will create problems for us on the defensive end. They have great receivers and Big Ben is very good. However, their defense is suspect at best.
Denver is good defensively, but Peyton in the cold weather doesn't scare me.
Watching the Chiefs yesterday, I think they may be a team to keep an eye on as well.

I've been saying Cincy was the biggest threat to New England in AFC this season. I never drunk the Denver kool-aid! I think the Bengals win tonight & lose to the Cardinals on Sunday night! New England will get HFA some kinda way in the end! Right now my money is on a Bengals vs Patriots AFC championship game! If we sure up the OL & get a healthy Edelman I see New England walking through the AFC!

bengals/steelers..

big ben looks terrific.

 

[FourierSeries]

Bengals, out of that group, but they don't scare me. I just can't take Andy Dalton seriously in the postseason.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I still think it's the Broncos. Tough to neutralize that pass rush and secondary with our two quick pass studs with Edelman and Lewis out. We will struggle to score a lot of points on them. Maybe Osweiler will gain some confidence with that defense winning some games for him...let's not forget they have a lot of weapons on that offense. The other thing is, Osweiler has no expectations; that can make a big difference for a team.

Or, let's put it this way: we know that Dalton is not leading a team to the Super Bowl; we don't know anything about Osweiler yet.

The Steelers come in second, but the loss of Leveon Bell is huge for them.

Next come the Bengals. I think people are forgetting how miserable Dalton is in the playoffs. He has a great offensive line and weapons all around him. As soon as adversity hits, he will go into a fetal position.

Not sure why the Colts are even on here. They are a below average NFL team.

It's got to be the Bengals. They are undefeated, less injured than us, and are playing cupcakes like the Browns and (surprisingly) the Ravens.
I wonder what happens if we finish with the same record?

bengals don't play until tonight....

 

[Wheelman]

This poll is missing an option. Nobody!

 

[A man named Brady]

I don't know, bengals have the best all around team but the steelers have Big Ben and when he's in the lineup that offense is straight up scary

 

[Archeryaddict12]

It's hard to take cincy seriously with dalton but you have to believe anyone can beat you on Sunday. If you aren't prepared or overconfident you will lose.

Dalton is playing pretty well, we do still have to beat Denver in Denver too, hopefully cannon and vollmer are back by then

Tough question

So their QB being 0-4 in the Playoffs (versus one who has 2 rings) means this is an easy answer?

That is just stupid.

 

[Ring 6]

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.

Two or three weeks ago I read a post that said "nobody but us can beat Denver". Now this. cincy will
Lose at least 3 games. Mark it down.

OK, so a 13-3 Cinci would be the greatest threat to the patriots in the AFC.
