Who is better than Cinci? If you agree about the AFC, then you must think Seattle is better. And I'd say their defense is, until given the chance to prove otherwise, but their offense is not. I give Wilson his due, much like Dalton he was a quiet name out of the draft that will make it, he is also crafty as is Dalton, but a lot of his success is due to his coaches and play calling.
I think at WR Cinci just may be the best in the NFL especially when Marvin Jones is back, Bernard/Hill are combining to be one of the best rushing attacks, the Oline is as solid as they need to be.
I'm comfortable saying the Bungles are the best team. They will lose a few for sure but game to game there isn't a team if they lined up I wouldn't think Cinci wouldn't win.
I'd love to see Sherman vs AJ Green!!

I am a Steelers fan but I think the Bengals are currently the best team. Seattle, Denver, and Philly may be a tougher out in the playoffs though but that's a long way off and so much can happen between now and then.
Probably wouldn't happen even if the two teams played each other. Sherman stays on one side of the field. The Bengals would likely throw Sanu or Jones over there and put Green on the other side of the field. Green Bay did that for most of the game if I remember correctly. I consider Sherman a tad bit overrated because he's not one of the corners that cover the top receiver the whole game. He simply stays on one side. Don't get me wrong, he is very good but he's not as good as he likes to say he is.
It's tricky to figure out who Whiz will want to go with in he draft. If you look at Whiz' type at QB. He likes big guys with cannons. Big Ben, Rivers....he helped bring Palmer to Zona and also brought several other big QB's to Zona. And now Mett. If Mett is his guy then we'll see. There are a lot of bigger guys with good arms in the draft. Mett's character concerns worry me but he's done well over the last yr. I don't like Winston as a prospect for the same reason. A guy like Hundley is intriguiging b/c he's an ultra high character guy. Mariota and Petty are interesting prospects as well.
Mett is a NFL QB. He can make all the throws. Arm talent is elite. Now whether or not he's got it up stairs to be a productive starter in the league is another story. We'll see, i guess.
I'd say this thread should be split into two topics, one for Bengals/Steelers/Titans and the second for the other 27 teams.. but I'm not even sure latter would get posts.
I agree that Cousins is a better fit for the Skins' offense. Will be interesting to see what decision they make when RGIII gets healthy.
Yesterday's Seahawks/Broncos game is what i had expected the SB to be last year. Great game.
I like the current OT policy better than the old one...but it could still be better. The other team should get a chance to match no matter if it is a FG or a TD. They should just duplicate the college policy concerning OT. But i'm sure their ego gets in the way of that happening.
I forgot what went in this slot.
Bengals are legit.
Seahawks will probably repeat. Gonna be either the Broncos or the Bengals trying to knock that crown off their head. Would love to see the Bengals get the Bye, Dalton get the monkey off his back and then make it to the SB.
Cardinals are surprisingly good. But that is a really tough division.

Mike Tomlin
Just a pathetic performance by the Steelers at home against one of the worst teams in the league. Tomlin has to go.

My, my. My Titans have seen better days. They typically are an average team, but it really seems like they are gearing up for a good draft pick. Of course there is a lot of football left, who knows where they will end up?
Why? He won as many SB's as Cowher did. He's been to as many SB's as Cowher did.Originally posted by UK_WINS_NCAA:

Did it with mostly Cowher's guys. Much of the blame goes to Colbert as well, the defense is completely devoid of talent. Not sure if we have one guy who would start for Cinci. Cowher was a great evaluator of talent and I think that made Colbert look better than he really was.Originally posted by Cawood86:

I've been looking over the schedule and I can't see them winning any more than 3 or 4 games this season with the way they're playing right now. Top 5 pick for sure. We'll see what happens. This draft will be the most important draft the Titans have had in a decade. Gotta make good picks, starting with Mariota.

The Titans are a garbage organization from head to toe and after this year I'm not giving them another dime of my money. I'm embarrassed to call them my team and there is no excuse for how pathetic this team is with the talent they have.
Sick of this dog shite organization, from head to toe, their bs excuses EVERY year and the fact that my season tickets go up damn near every year and the product gets worse and worse, and by product I mean not only the team but the game day experience. Hey! Let's have a ****** country band play at every timeout, welcome to music city USA! Especially you visiting fans! Oh hey, there's more of you than Titans fans here so welcome!
The front office has been *** since Jeff diamond left, they can't scout, they can't develop, and this coaching staff is an abomination. That's all. I'm done.

It may be a circular argument, but their running game was awesome today. The OL opened up a lot of holes, and they had almost 250 yards on the ground. Is that a function of them having to respect Bridgewater's passing ability, or was his passing a result of Atlanta's problems stopping the run? Not sure. He certainly looked very cool and calm back there.
The Vikings have just been cursed for what seems like forever. It would have not been shocking at all if his ankle was broken. When he came back out from the locker room, what a sigh of relief for those poor fans.
Agree with you on everything, CatsJONky. I was literally embarrassed two weeks ago when there were more Dallas fans than Titans fans. And I get it, it's Nashville, home of country music. That doesn't mean I want to hear country artists I've never even heard of tell me to get loud on third down on the jumbo tron. And that Big and Rich halftime show was laughably terrible. They had one hit song like 8 years ago, nobody's cares.
I'm not ready to pull the plug on my tickets just yet, though. We'll have a franchise QB next year, and there's nowhere to go but up from here. At least I hope so.

Atlanta's defense is wretched. Bridgewater had all day to make his throws... Running game was averaging like 8 yards a carry. Even when Bridgewater came out, they couldn't stop Minnesota from running it down their throats with 3rd stringer Ponder under center. That was a joke of a performance.
Feel bad for Titan fans, but as a Lions fan I promise it can get better! At least you guys have some talent on that roster, and to be honest most teams would struggle against the Colts when they have something to prove like they have the past 2 weeks. It started very badly with that fumble and the INT was a fluke but got you all down 17-0 in the first.......uphill battle from there.
Teddy is a natural, and UL be damned he is good. I'm glad for him honestly and the Minnesota organization. Honestly liked the place they were playing in too, maybe they should consider playing outdoors instead of a dome.
Moving on, my Lions were ok today. Nothing special honestly and I didn't expect much more than a win. After last weeks performance holding GB to 7 pts then going on the road to the weird Jets with Calvin playing hurt I actually thought we could lose. This season is going well so far.
Man do the Panthers miss Steve Smith Sr
Philly is extremely weird.....3 weeks in a row they come from behind to win, but this week the can't hold a lead in which their defense scored all their points?! Not to mention they have a RB called Lesean McCoy who is doing nothing at all!!
It's amazing to me in week that Cinci was off I think from watching all other teams that Cinci has improved this week to me. This product is really watered down this year it seems.

Felt great, though.
Teddy. One-name basis already for me and he hasn't thrown a touchdown. But the defense is remarkably bad and will remain so until Zimmer gets to bring in a few guys to play DT and LB and maybe give Harrison Smith a little help in the secondary.
Steve Smith is the baddest, toughest dude in the league - Panthers get rid of him
Cam Newton dresses up like a woman for press conferences - Panthers hand him the franchise
- jilted Panther fan

Just stupid - you don't fire him after that loss. Tomlin nor Cowher put together the roster by the way. Just a horrible, over-reaction take.Originally posted by UK_WINS_NCAA:

Eagles O-line has been decimated with injuries. They missed zero O-line games last year; this year they are like the Dolphins last year. And Foles collapses with pressure.
What an embarrassingly awful performance by the titans. Letting the hapless browns come back from 25 down.
If you consider the Browns "hapless", then what are the Titans? LOL ... these aren't the hapless Browns anymore. They are a decent team now.
Did this week even happen? Because I saw Christian Ponder play QB for the Vikings and I was assured that this would never happen again. So yeah, week 5 never really happened, Teddy will be back for week 6 and this is how it is.
The Tennessee Titans are the broken down clown car of the NFL. Cant wait for them to win a few games they shouldn't, get bumped back into the 7-13 range in the draft where they always are, then they'll reach at some player they don't need and overvalued in scouting, then throw their hands in the air when they don't develop. Just another day in the life of a clueless organization owned by a bumpkins-with-money family that uses it as a tax write-off and an ATM machine with no password. Same as it ever was. Big promises in May when I write the check, ******** excuses in the fall.
While I'm not pleased with the Titans' product right now they are hardly as horrible of an organization like some of yall are making them out to be. They average 1 SB appearance and AFC championship every 15 yrs. They win their division on average every 4-5 yrs. And they make the playoffs every 2-3 yrs.
While it certainly is not the Steelers or Patriots organization like we all would like it to be, it certainly isn't the bottom. There are fans that would take the above scenario anytime.

Playoffs every 2-3 years? We haven't been to the playoffs in 6 years. I know this sounds terrible, but I'm actually rooting for the Titans loose games at this point. We need a top a top 3 pick this year, not an 8-12 pick that we get every single year. There may be some worse organizations in the NFL, but Tennessee is right at the top. And as long as Webster is still around that's not gunna change.
Seems like the downfall with the Titans started when Jeff Fisher got Jeff Diamond fired and assumed his duties.
