Strange season forming

Nobody's running away in the NFC. Packers are 1-2, 49ers 1-2, Seahawks, Falcons, Panthers all 2-1. We are fine. Just can't afford too many more letdowns.

Saints, Vikings and Ravens this weekend will make it all better

No doubt. Noticed how Pittsburgh RAN the ball right into the teeth of the vaunted Carolina D?

I still cant see this team doing anything this year. I love my team always will, but to me the team isnt going to be a top 5 team at all. I will strike a nerve to some with this. But we dont even make the playoffs. Just prove me wrong Saints

The next couple weeks are crucial, if our team wakes up and starts a winning streak I'll feel a lot better

The team so far hasn't performed how we envisioned, just have to hope the team performs how we know they can

It will start with D living up to expectations and forcing some turnovers/ getting consistent pressure.

this season is designed to where we wont know anything about the NFL until mid to late season.

14-2 coming up.

It COULD happen.

I don't know why people have been so dismissive of the Bengals. Everyone seemed to have that game marked of as an automatic win. I have them picked as a dark horse super bowl contender. While nobody was paying attention they put up some damn good numbers on offense last year and their defense is nothing to sneeze at either. They will destroy this defense if they don't improve.

I haven't heard anyone under-rate the Bengals. They are an excellent team. They won the North last year at 11-5. Might be the 2nd best team in the AFC.
