As long as Andy continues to play the way he did today and the last 2 weeks, I would put the Bengals at #1 in the AFC. Definitely a sleeper for a SB contender.
Those last 2 phrases are ones I never thought I would say in my lifetime.

Also, all those clicking noises you hear on Tuesday are going to be people adding Marvin Jones to their fantasy rosters. I know one of the challenges going into this season was finding that #2 receiver to complement A.J. Green. And I think both Jones and Sanu have established themselves as #2 and #3. Jones probably slightly holding onto #2 because of today.

Could see them beating NE and maybe KC but you must remember that they are still a Marvin Lewis coached football team.

1. We beat Green Bay. Held Rodgers to under 300 passing yards. 2. We already beat NE. Held Brady to under 200 passing yards. 3. I agree with you on KC. Probably the best team in the AFC right now, so I guess I would bump us down to #2 or #3. 4. I don't see how Lewis is an issue anymore. The only way I see anything happening there is if they don't win a playoff game this year. And despite my issues with Gruden at times, we have Mike Zimmer and a very solid and deep defense. Although all these injuries are going to catch up eventually if they continue.
Like I said. It depends on if Dalton can continue to improve (which it seems he has) and not make mistakes (which he could work on). The boneheaded INT to Wilkerson seems to continue the streak of "Dalton must throw one stupid pick every game".

....feeding the troll David? I'm a bit disapoint son, we all know how MoM operates by now. C'mon man! The AFC really is interesting, KC could easily be the best team if the offense situation was better. Thus far even when they've done nada on offense the D has stepped up, but everything gets harder in the playoffs...and honestly at some point Alex Smith will have to step up, he's done so in the past but has even less weapons than SF! Cincy is epic, but it's all about Dalton staying consistent. Denver's D is still a ? and Peyton has been looking human recently  A SB is quite possible! But if they play Seattle or N'arlins that'd be one f**kin sweet game

^ Yes, I come in, inject some reality, then you be a  . This has been your consistent trend recently. I'm a Steelers fan, get the f**k over it. It doesn't invalidate reality. Before today the Bengals have beaten a bad Steelers team, wound up with a win against a good Green Bay team, beat a Patriots team that by all rights should have a losing record (the Patriots are truly terrible but they still play in the AFC East), were taken to OT by a bad Bills team who eventually handed them the win, and were handed a win by Detroit's punter. Crushing a Jets team, lead by Geno Smith, that even the Steelers managed to beat isn't all that impressive. They've not shown they can actually shut down a competent NFL offense and their recent history points to nothing but playoff disappointment. Not sure what makes them "epic" other than your desire for them to be.
The AFC isn't all that interesting:
Denver needs KC's defense and KC needs Denver's offense but, as long as KC gets home field, they will meet in the championship game. I give the Bengals a chance to beat them because of KC's offense but only if they somehow play that game in Cincy (which it doesn't look like they will be). Any other playoff team should easily dispatch NE if there are no shenanigans.

Holy crap that finish to the Lions/Cowboys game was reason enough to almost have a heart attack. The Cadiac Cats! Seriously, though, Stafford, Johnson and Durham were clutch in that last drive.

As I suspected, the Raiders have the Steelers number yet again...it seems everyone has our number this year.
Watched the Lions/Cowboys game today, very entertaining. First time seeing the Lions this year and was totally amazed a Megatron's performance!

I would have rather watched Megatron than the snoozefest that was Giants/Eagles.

Wow! Who would've thought this would happen?
A huge defensive struggle, this is awesome. Looks like St Louis has really dominated Seattle's offense, sans one big play, problem is St Louis is even WORSE than usual without Bradford  Still, turned out to be a pretty good game.
Philly/Giants was a snoozefest but it could've been much much worse for them, if our damn wideouts would hold on to the ball...

I'm hoping Seattle hangs on for the win, but man, they should be embarrassed by this tonight. Just a terrible showing.

Rivalry games!
This is why they rule, all stats, matchups, metrics and blah blah can get tossed out the window.
Seattle has a very efficient offense, but not real explosive, we saw tonight if you can limit them they really struggle, though ironically it was that huge 80 yard TD that won it for them
I'm impressed: 7 sacks on Wilson, 139 pass yards (with 80 on 1 play), lynch held to 23 yards AND STL who's been awful running the ball racked up near 200 on perhaps the NFL's best defense.
Imagine if their QB was just a bit better! Even still, Clemmens legit could've won that.
What a game!

All Seahawk fans can breathe a sigh of relief now. Wow, what a finish to that game.

Not embarrassed, a road win, a 7-1 record, undefeated in the division and held St. Louis to 9 points w/o a touchdown.

True, but man the o line flat out stunk tonight. Wilson had very little time to do anything and in a lot of cases, absolutely no time as guys got to him untouched.

The Rams' play calling just flat out sucks. What a sh*tty end to that game.

Yes, the goal line play calling was absolutely dreadful.

Absolutely, but do be a tad realistic. It was the Rams...and not even with their starting QB With probably the NFL's best defense you'd expect this result. I mean, Clemens looked scared to throw the ball at times!
I was a bit surprised how well St Louis ran, I thought it was impossible to do that on Seattle.
Still, gotta give it to them, they made the one big play which is all you need in a game like that.

Their O line is missing some starters and the Rams DO have some nasty pass rushers. Still I was impressed with the pass rush they had, that was something
