Just as legit as the Ravens. The best AFC team so far is the Broncos. That hopefully changes by the end of the year, but every other AFC .team needs significant improvement. Ravens, Bengals, Chiefs, Texans, Colts, Dolphins and Patriots all seem to be in the hunt for playoff berths. So who is going to step up, we will see over the next few months. But the Bengals will be one on those teams.

Dalton has to do better, much like Flacco had to improve a couple years ago. These guys seem to think Dalton will do OK. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/23346776/nfl-expert-picks-bengals-bandwagon-filling-up-can-they-win-it-all Of course those same individuals picked the Bengals as the worst team in the league three years ago. Let's play the season, Bengals look good on paper but the game is played on the field.

These preseason polls don't mean much. Two years ago the Bengals were ranked 32. Best team is determined on the field not on paper in preseason. I'm pretty confident that the Bengals will be competitive in the AFCN.

three games in a row for Dalton. Next week Cook will come back on the OL. The DL got healthy when Sims came back so their rotation is back. The DB's are healthy, LB's are playing better. Rookie WR's looking better. Team is about as healthy as you could expect heading into December. Just have to keep winning - SD this week.

Good luck tonight. Bengals are grateful to Art too. If he hadn't fired Paul Brown there would have been no Bengals. Bengals have to stop Rice and win the turnover battle to have a chance. Green and/or Gresham have to have good games. Looking forward to see where Green lines up. Chad used to be able to play only one receiver position, which meant doubling him was pretty easy. AJ will lineup at all positions so it should be a little harder to double him. Bengals preseason running game has not looked good, so Dalton might have to beat the Ravens through the air - not the best option, but we shall see. Game starts at 7:00 instead of 8:00 and the Steelers losing already puts a smile on everyone's face.

To be fair to Simpson he was one of the best Bengals with charity work. When he was sentenced so many people showed up to vouch for his character that the judge was overwhelmed. He couldn't listen to all the people there to talk. Nice guy, stupid decision.

Thanks for the help dc & dee, I'll pass it along to him. Cravn I don't think he would like the purple curtains.

Son is going to MD dental school in the fall. Recommendation on where he should try to live, hopefully close enough so he can walk.

Nice pics. The bald eagle was close enough to get a very good pic. Better than I did last year at Yellowstone when the bald eagle was flying over our heads. So the best part was the?

A very big factor is Carson's wife. She doesn't want to live in Cincinnati anymore. When she left town last November before delivery their third child, she reportedly said she would never return to Cincinnati. Carson did not renew his local golf club membership last November. He had been a member there for 6 - 7 years. Carson was the main reason Owens was in Cincy last year. So to blame it all on the Bengals is not completely correct. Unhappy wife is a major factor.

Surprised he picked the Bengals. First test for your dbs. I hope it will be a little more challenging than last week for your defense.

She should definitely have a jeans ad after this. Calvin Klein where are you? How long does it take her to get her jeans on? Probably doesn't have as much trouble getting them off.

That's funny. Peter King has the Steelers winning the Super Bowl, finish third in this article. I'm tired of all the predictions let the season start. Injuries will probably determine the winner of the ACFN. I won't be surprised if the Steelers, Bengals or Ravens won the division.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/13694394/bengals-camp-report-perception-aside-cincys-even-better Pete Prisco still likes the Bengals. a second article http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/13694414/bengals-love-and-hate What Pete loves and hates about the Bengals. Doesn't like Roy Williams, Andre Smith, not passing the ball more and the kicking game.

TO is certainly not the receiver he was a couple years ago but he can still stretch the field. Inputs from Turk Schonert and Ryan Fitzpatrick had him working hard in practice last year with the Bills. So the Bengals don't have too much to lose. He could blow up but he's not going to get another chance to make the playoffs. You would think that would make him a model player but we shall see. Antonio Bryant participated in the first practice if his knee was that bad they would have put him on the PUP list. Because he had a meniscus tear they plan on practicing him only once a day. I think he will have some pain this year. Biggest news was Andre Smith started on the PUP list. I think they want to get him in better shape before they put him into practice. He's looking to play the last two preseason games. Anyway all the season has started. thank god.
