vmax Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 It looks like another dog fight to win the division. The media is hot on the Browns who do have a loaded roster. I don't think the Steelers intend to go "quietly in the night." The Bengals might be a hard out if Burrow comes back healthy and on fire. Winning "in division games will be a major key to making the playoffs and it looks like it will be a tough row to hoe. If you like anxiety, well, this is the season for you. From SB Nation: Predicting the 2021 NFL standings, including who wins the NFC West (msn.com) AFC North Browns (12-5) Ravens (11-6) Steelers (8-9) Bengals (5-12) Man, it feels strange talking about how good the Browns are. It seems like just a few seasons ago, they one a single game in a span of two years. They grow up so fast! Cleveland has a top-five roster heading into the season. The amount of talent on offense and defense is unfair and the Brownies could become a dark horse Super Bowl favorite if everything goes according to plan. I guess Baker Mayfield made the correct switch to Progressive. Baltimore should be great again as Lamar Jackson has done nothing but win from the moment he stepped onto an NFL field. The Ravens and Browns should be battling for the mighty North all season long. Big Ben is on his last legs in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin will always fire up his team, but his team’s slump after beginning 11-0 is a sign of bigger and more painful things to come in the steel city. As long as Joe Burrow isn’t rushed back too soon, the Bengals should play spoiler for their division counterparts. They’ve added firepower in the draft pairing Burrow’s LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase with Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. Opposing teams will have a difficult time stopping them but Cincy is nothing but a cellar dweller at least for this upcoming campaign.

papasmurfbell Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yeah I have the brownies edging the ravens by a game. I dont care how good ben looks. He cant put in a whole season now. Unless they can keep that 1 and a half second throwing style going Pit will crumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Agree with Papa on this one. The Ravens go in as a wildcard this year. The Steelers begin their journey to become the Stumblebums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 If Pit does go below .500 I expect the rebuild. That should be about 3 yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 The Ravens play the Brownies twice in 3 weeks. 11/28-12/12. Browns/ Steelers/Browns. That may decide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 ......all on paper. Quote 3. Cleveland Browns (4) The Browns' offense will find another gear with Baker Mayfield being a more reliable complement to the strong running game of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt behind an elite front. Cleveland is no slouch in the defensive front seven with Jadeveon Clowney joining the fun, while the secondary also got key upgrades. The Browns are right there will the Bills as a more complete team that can challenge the Chiefs well.....NFL power rankings: Browns, Cowboys, Seahawks rising; Packers, Bears facing QB questions to start camp (msn.com) Quote 6. Baltimore Ravens (7) The Ravens, armed with more weapons for Lamar Jackson. can't be forgotten behind the more-hyped Browns and Bills as an all-around dangerous team that can dethrone the Chiefs. Jackson should stay on track as a dual threat with more dynamic players built for Greg Roman's scheme there to support him. Much like the Steelers, the beat goes on for the Ravens' 3-4 defense in different ways. Baltimore should be somewhere between its 2019 and 2020 editions....NFL power rankings: Browns, Cowboys, Seahawks rising; Packers, Bears facing QB questions to start camp (msn.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
