Guarantee the Browns finish with a better record than the Bengals.

I think the Browns will be solid assuming they get some decent QB play.

 

But yes that is very funny!

What makes you think that? Having another new coach? Still questions at quarterback? Or over paying for some defensive guys? Doubt they will be a tough team to beat. I said they will surprise last year and expect them to this year. But still many questions with them. Unless you think they win the division then I don't see anyway they have a better record than the Bengals unless the Bengals have a few key injuries.

I put them at the same level as the Bengals. They may not be hard to beat...for a goood team, but an avg team they can give fits. Wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals split with them.

Ha so the browns are suddenly at the same level as the Bengals now ok? You complain the Bengals can't beat top teams but the browns lose to both top teams and bad teams and didn't do to much to improve except over pay for a few players. But hey now at least I see how you evaluate teams and where your opinions come from because of these interesting evaluations.

 

Honestly though I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish third with a chance at second in the division possibly. But they did nothing to close the gap between them and the Bengals. They did with the Steelers and ravens though because of the people those teams lost and getting older.

So that sounds like you are predicting the Bengals to win the division. Did I read that right?

You did read that right. The Ravens I don't see being as good, and they shown how much of a difference Rey Lewis made for that team when he was not playing last year. Even though his abilities was not as great as it use to be, from an emotional side he brought a lot to that team. Without him they played pretty bad, and so I can easily see them not doing as great next year. Still a good team, but not as good as they are with Rey. Pittsburgh is interesting because it seems each time they have a down year and miss the playoffs they bounce back big time the next year. Now they still have some age problems on their side, but you can't count them out. However I do like the Bengals chances there. The Browns are continuing to improve, but yeah definitely see the Bengals having a better record than them.

 

You talk about how the Bengals stayed the same, well the Ravens and Steelers did not. They very well could have gotten worst, so I don't think its to hard to think the Bengals could win the division this year.

Richardson may be fined a couple of times with the new rule.

You do know the difference between a team that just won a Super bowl who "might" have gotten worse as you say and a team that hasn't won a single postseason game in a generation aand haven't improved in Free Agency don't you? A team that just won a Super Bowl who "might" have gotten a little worse is still miles ahead of the Bengals.

I also know a team who was just like the Bengals last year in the Ravens. A team who was playing terrible football and most people didn't think they would win the Super Bowl. But as I said with the Bengals last year, that made you keep saying that I said the Bengals would go to the Super Bowl. Once a team is in the playoffs then anything can happen, no matter how things went going into the playoffs. So one or two more losses in the regular season and then they are not even in the playoffs to make a run. So yes getting worst can effect how the Ravens do if they can't even make it.

???? What are you talking about? You comparing the Ravens last year to the Bengals? You said no one expected anything out of the Ravens? Wow, I need some of that stuff you're smoking lol.

 

Let me remind you as you once again go off and start your comparisons. The Ravens going into the 2012 season were 1. Defending Division winner and 2 came within a dropped ball to going to the Super Bowl in 2011.

 

The Ravens made it to the AFCCG in 2011 Futurecoach!!! What in the world are you talking about saying the Ravens were just like the Bengals last year????

 

 

You always tend to grasp at straws in your comparisons no matter what you are comparing, whether it be a Bengals player to a future Hall of Fame player thinking they are on a level playing field, or a team that has been to back to back AFCCG's to the Bengals. You continue to compare Apples to Orangutangs and expect us all to be dummies and think you are on to something lol.

 

Please please please my friend, please stop with your comparisons because they couldn't be more wrong.

 

The Ravens were consistently considered one of the best teams in the AFC last season week in and week out.

 

I will be waiting for your next comparison when you try and convince us all the Ben Jarvis-Green is as good if not better than Adrian Peterson

 

To help you out, The Ravens Power Rankings last year avg'd #6 out of 32 teams. They only spent 1 week the entire season out of the top 10.

 

Any idea what the power rankings had the Bengals at last season?

Haha go back and read what people were saying about the Ravens week in and week out as the year went on, especially at the end of the year. The Ravens were playing bad football at the end of last year losing 3 straight to start December, would have been 4 straight if they didn't complete a miracle 4 and 27 against the Chargers the week before the losing streak. People were even saying how they didn't see anyway the Ravens team could make a run in the playoffs at that point. Shoot they even lost to the Charlie Batch led Steelers in December. They lost to Washington even though RG3 got hurt in the game, and let another backup QB lead his team to victory against him. Flacco had a QBR of 23.6, 54.2, and .4 yes that is not a typo .4 in the 3 games they lost to start December. People were saying no way they make the playoffs, their was talk about them even possibly missing the playoffs if they didn't beat the Giants the next week. Which they did play very well that game. However most people did not see their run in the playoffs coming last year based off on how they ended the year. However as usual with you nice try on that one, acting like what I said was way off base when once again I show you how it is not.

 

Yes the power rankings had the Ravens high because for the first half of the year they were playing great. However by the end of the year not to much, and was not consider as a team people thought would win the Super Bowl anymore when the post season started. Put it this way they were one play away from not making the playoffs. They beat the Byron Leftwhich led Steelers 13 to 10 in week 11. If Leftwhich makes one play at the end the Ravens lose that game and miss the playoffs and it would have been the Bengals and Steelers in the playoffs. So Ravens were playing bad ball at the end of the year, and one game away from missing the playoffs, but yeah most people still thought the Ravens would make a run in the playoffs? But hey whatever you want to tell yourself even though I put it right out there in front of you.

To compare the Bengals with the Ravens last year is just a joke, sorry. You want to know why?

 

The Ravens, just like other good teams, know how to beat teams when they need to.

Bengals under Marvin Lewis are horrible when playing teams with winning records. Ravens, not so much.

 

Your comparison is like saying people think the Caviliers have as good as a chacne to win it all this year as the Heat because the Heat lost a couple games.
