AFC North is tougher than most

The squeels are smacking the Jags and the Bungles should have smacked the boys not to mention how the Ravens are hanging with the so called elite. The only thing this division does is beat each other up.

The Bengals suck and almost beat the Cowboys because they were looking past them. When the chips were down we saw what happened.

This division might just get won by a team with 8 or 9 wins. And that gives us a good shot.

Marvin Lewis fired by week 9. You reap what you sow Marvin.

Bengals are bad, Browns aren't much better. AFC is just wide open this season with Brady out and Peyton still finding his groove. Jags and Bolts have stumbled in the second tier. Wasn't impressed with Tennesse at all.

Hell even the Fins and Falcons are competitive thus far, the entire league is wide open. Just look at the AFC North, NFC East, NFC South, NFC West...hell, everyone!

I think that as of right now know one will know who makes it to the play offs until late December! LOL I agree, the NFL is wide open... 32 Teams all are close to breaking out or falling flat.

This season at least, the poor guy is reaping what Mike Brown is sowing. But he's one of many parts of the problem out there, and you may be right.

Marvin Lewis had control taken from him. Mike Brown doesn't fire coaches mid-season, he makes them work their contract out or quit. The Bengal Death March™.

Excuse me if this sound ignorant, but did Marvin do to deserve such a comment???

Ouch, so true.

I won't be too surprised to see Cleveland get back in it to some degree before the season's over.

Ummm, NO.

Disagree: the Ohios make the AFC North one of weakest divisions in the NFL.

The rep of the bungles and Clowns along with the slow start will keep the AFC N from getting respect, but I think both of those teams are more dangerous than most bottom 2 teams in any divison other than the NFC E.

The QB and weapons those teams have can overcome any defensive woes they have on a good day. Both have had injury troubles to those weapons, but should have them the rest of the way. They both have enough decent players on D to get some stops and turnovers.

Ciny and Clevland face the Texans and Colts, and I have a feeling they will split.

AFC E is pretty tough though. The dolphins and Jets no longer suck. Pats and Bills are good.
