LOL at using one game to support your argument for a whole conference. Come on you can do a lot better than that. Also Dalton Vs Schaub, there is no comparison right now. Schaub is by far the better QB than Dalton.Azubuike24;1490062 wrote:I'm not going to say you guys are wrong, it's just a strange stance to take and say "the whole AFC is down" when they just won the Super Bowl.
Also, "down" is a relative term. 6 teams from each league make the playoffs, so it doesn't matter if the bottom 6 of the 12 playoffs teams are AFC teams, it's going to come down to an NFC vs AFC Super Bowl and winner take all.
As for Houston, I have the complete opposite stance. If you question Andy Dalton, how do you not question Matt Schaub? What has he ever done? They also don't have a "nasty offense." Their offense has some talent, but it's certainly not even in the top 5, let alone considered nasty. Hard not to question Johnson, Foster and Daniels in-terms of durability either.
Indy, while they had a great year last and certainly have a bright future, to assume they will end up "improved" is foolish. I'd bet they don't even win 10, let alone improve. They might be a better team, but on-field success may not show it.
Let me also say that I think Baltimore clearly falls, Pittsburgh is around the same (or slightly better) while the Bengals and Browns have the best potential in the North to exceed what they did a year ago.
Anyway this thread is about the Browns. Nobody gives a fuck about the bengals and their fair weather fans. If you want to discuss the Bengals, I suggest going to page 25+ in the pro sports forum, and bring back the Bengals thread from the dead. I am sure OSU2309823092039 and turdo can provide some intelligent insight on the bengals (LOL).
