Every team in the top 8 is 3-0, except us, who are 2-1. Lots of respect, and we are ahead of two other 3-0 teams (Chiefs and Dolphins).

Nah.... Cleveland gave all of their fans a glimmer of hope last Sunday. This week they'll show how absolutely horrendous they are right in front of the home fans.

Agreed. Hoyer threw 3 INT's to Minnesota's defense. Wait until he gets a lod of our defense. The offense will not even have to score in this game probably with as bad as Hoyer is going to play while on his back 90% of the game.

They rated us ahead of some teams we really haven't proven anything against. Houston owns us and so does Baltimore.

I do not think Houston is as good as us anymore.

I think us and Baltimore, you base most of what you have seen on this year, not years past.

There are pundits that think we are the only team in the AFC capable of beating the Broncos, therefore, should in general be given one of the highest AFC marks. Just saying.

Whether you believe it or not is one thing, but that doesn't make it their opinion still.

They said it, not me. I don't think we can beat the Broncos.

I think we're probably better than almost all of the teams in the AFC, with the exception of the Broncos. A healthy Manning would just be too much for us.... And I think he's smart enough to neutralize our advantage along the line.

Of course I said the same exact thing about Rogers and he came out and played like an amateur against us.

Broncos are too efficient and powerful on offense for us to even have a chance. Their defense is pretty dang good too even without Dumerville and Miller. The Bronco defense is what sets them aside from the Packers. Our defense would be decent, but not better than their defense against our offense though.

Shootout with Manning and they have a decent defense? Doesn't sound doable.

There's always the possibility of the Manning playoff choke........

I suppose. But you think it is more likely Manning chokes in the playoffs or Dalton and the Bengals?

Broncos vs Bengals is kind of a win win for you, unless we tie

Sort of, not really.

I am a Bengals fan 1st and foremost.

I will be pissed off when we lose to the Broncos in the AFC Championship game , then in about 3 or 4 days, I will be all over the Broncos for winning the SB.

I grew up and started off a Broncos fan actually in Denver from ages 6-9, then when we moved back to Dayton area, I started watching the Bengals more and more because they were what was on tv, and became a fan of their's in the mid 80's. Still really like teh Broncos, just can't root for them against the Bengals.

These are my rankings:

1) Seattle
1a) Denver

and everyone else excepting
32) Jacksonville

I really don't think it matters outside the top two. If both remain relatively healthy (and Manning doesn't choke) I think they are destined to meet in the Super Bowl.

That was my SB prediction at the beginning of the year. We will see if it holds true.
