BengalRep85-9 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 You know what I meant lol I'm liking the current situation in the AFC. Namely, an AFC that is so distinctly different than even just 2 years ago. An AFC that seems to be able to be won by an elite defense almost by itself. That in my mind, gives me a reason to believe in Cincy who I believe has the 2nd best D in the AFC behind Denver and a much more explosive offense. If they could just get consistent production in the backfield...On the NFC side, I think Seattle will suffer from Lynch's departure a little bit but I think Carolina will struggle getting everyone's best game. I think Seattle will beat Carolina in the divisional round next playoffs. I think Arizona will shore up a position or two on the offensive line and pick up help for the pass rush. No idea if we can duplicate last year but I think we will make the playoffs and be dangerous even as a wild card team.In the AFC, as long as New England has Brady they'll be a huge threat. Denver has the defense to win it all (obviously) and will be dangerous regardless of the QB. Pitt will be dangerous because of the cheap shots and other garbage they're allowed to get away with. The Bengals seem to be the most talented team, but have been for about 3 years now, 0 playoff wins. The fumbling issues need to be fixed immediately, another season like last and you're talking about drafting Hill's replacement.In the NFC, Arizona has the defense to contend but they're not good enough to overcome turnovers. Enter Carson Palmer. He has shown his entire career that he'll become a turnover machine when it matters most. It's not going to change. The NFC championship was classic Palmer, complete with multiple angry chin strap rips. Four teams have a shot next year at contending (GB, Seattle, Carolina, Zona) and Minnesota to a lesser extent, depends on Bridgewater's development.

Hooky Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 The quitter can go to the Super Bowl if they continue to build a team around him. Shore up the running game, retain their receivers, strengthen the OL and get defenders that won't keep intercepting his passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaRising Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I think it'll be the Pats-Bengals in the AFC Championship next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalFanInNJ Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Bengals will struggle during the season but limp into the playoffs where they will "surprise" people by winning 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhodeIslandFan Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 11-5 at best. Burfict missing 3 games Hue gone and much of our talent heading out in free agency for a pay raise ,will put a dent in our easily making playoffs. The key question : is 11-5 is enough to make the playoffs if we don't win division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 It would still have won it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeb Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Burfict gets smart and takes the league to court and wins his case, ....no suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 much of our talent heading out in free agency for a pay raiseWhich talent would that be? None of them have even left yet. Step away from the ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhodeIslandFan Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Which talent would that be? None of them have even left yet. Step away from the ledge.Anyone watching the tape knows that Jones is going to demand big bucks. Hall is a great presence in the locker room and on the field. Reggie was one dropped pick away from leading the league in interceptions. Adam Jones is absolutely playing out of his mind. These are but s few that will likely be a struggle to keep. Frigging sucks...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhodeIslandFan Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just hope suspension doesn't come against patriots. Burfict has always missed playing against those assholes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
