Ravens got a little lucky there, Jackson missed a ton of throws tonight.

Cincinnati has been one of the most disappointing teams for me this year.

They just look very average. Was expecting that offense to be a juggernaut. And it should be. Just terrible O line play and probably poor play calling given the team strengths/weaknesses.

Really, the AFC as a whole has been disappointing considering the hype.

Of the teams projected to be near the top, really only Buffalo, KC and Miami (with Tua) have lived up to the hype.

Still believe the Chiefs should be undefeated so far this season. Had no effin business losing to Indy...

2 and 3 a little surprising for Cinci. But I thought they'd disappoint some just due to a tougher schedule and not being so lucky with injuries.

They overachieved last year, and like you said were a bit lucky.
They’re still in the mix if they can improve. The Ravens are without a doubt the best team in the division but have been scuttling at 3-2.

I'd say in the AFC a bunch of teams still in mix. Only sure playoff teams seem to be Buffalo and KC.

Irritated as I am with my team if they can just get to 5-6 our last 6 games not so daunting IF Watson can play like he did last time he played.

still incredibly irritated with my team. what a sports buzz kill the way the Tribe, Cavs and OSU are playing (or expected to play).

If I was a fan, I’d probably have hope too. But taking out fandom, the Browns blow. They’re 2-3 playing the really soft end of their schedule. Their defense has some real issues. Even when they get Watson back, they’re getting a guy who hasn’t played competitive football in a very long time. Browns best hope is that the entire division implodes and becomes the AL Central and 8-9 or 9-8 gets them in.

Lamar Jackson is something else and kind of puts the Ravens in an awkward position. At his best he is a no brainer give him all the money guy. But then he has nights like last night with a bunch of bad throws. It only takes one game like that in the playoffs and you are done. I think they will eventually pay him but it’s not the no brainer situation some think it is.

I mean, with the backup QB coming into last game we were 6th in points, 5th in yards, 5th in efficiency. doubt it went down after the last game.....and with a backup QB who has thrown 3 terrible late INTs in all 3 losses. Watson could make a difference

And, yes, D needs some work.

Sweet numbers

2-2 vs bad teams
0-1 vs average to good teams
