Who is the next biggest AFC threat after KC

Darn I don't like the idea of facing another explosive offense in the superbowl.
 
Pitt. With Bell, even more so.
 
To date, it's definitely Baltimore IMO. They're the only defense in the conference that I think we might struggle to drop 30 on.

San Diego is also looking like the real deal so far, and could get really scary when Bosa comes back if he's anywhere near Fair or not, though, I have a hard time taking them seriously until we actually lose a game to them.

The Jaguars scare me less than most. They benefited from truly absurd injury luck last year on defense, their starters missed virtually no games to injury. That rarely translates from one year to the next, and we're starting to see that attrition wear on them.

I seriously don't think there is a D that can stop this Offense when Healthy. Sweet Feet White is super out of the Backfield on any down...Gronk is Gronk and we know the Squirrel. Gordon is just scratching the surface and Michel hasn't been ask the catch the football yet. A healthy Marcus Cannon makes a Huge difference too. That said I think the sky's the limit good luck Defenses.

Ravens IMO because of their D..Jags D is falling off a cliff right now. Steelers still suck...so I would say Ravens
 
I'd rather face the Steelers anytime anywhere than the Ravens. Flacco always has an out of body experience against us.

Have not done **** against the Patriots in over 5 years except for turning the ball over.
 
Poor 4-2 division-leading Bengals don't get any love here...

Well... They are the bungles. Even if they somehow win that division I can't imagine losing to them.
 
Ravens- The best defense out of the rest of the contenders. If pats dont win it all i am rooting for San Diego.
 
The Ravens will get destroyed by the Saints next week and then they will be back to the same level of respect as last week when they lost to the Browns.
The problem is the Ravens, somehow, find a way to play us really well. Let's just hope they don't play us in the playoffs. Even in 2007 remember how bad the Ravens were, and how we pulled that miracle win in the end? That was the closest win of the season, within one idiotic Rex Ryan time out of losing.



So....I never undersell the Ravens, their defense always gives us fits.

(Many of the games have been close)
 
The biggest threat (besides injuries) to the New England Patriots is in fact the New England Patriots.

I think you may be slightly misremembering the past couple of meetings. The Pats had to come back from two different 14 point deficits (one in the 4th quarter) to advance in the AFC divisional playoffs in Jan 2015.

They’ve met once since then, and although NE went up big early, it was still a 23-20 game halfway through the 4th quarter. In my opinion, the Ravens are still a bit of a tough out since they’ve proven that they can win in big games on the road. I’m not going to get my panties in a bunch worrying about them, but they could be viewed as one of those pain in the ass type of teams, especially when January hits.
 
They'll get plenty of love from me next week if they pull that game out
When they travel to Arrowhead? Good luck with that one.
