The AFC North is suddenly looking like the toughest division in football

[Auggie]

Not a Bengals fan but happy they beat the Ravens.

Who else is close? AFC West? NFC West?

1. The AFC West was my pick before the season began.

With with the Chiefs at 3-4, and the Raiders a week-to-week uncertainty the Chargers look like the team to beat. But the way they were embarrassed in Baltimore, it's hard to argue against your opinion. It's still early and so much can happen as the season progresses. When the playoffs come around I think the Chargers will be looking good.

2. Right -- it can all change on one muscle tear.

3. If the Bengals very poorly-rated (by PFF) OL...

... keeps Burrow from getting badly injured again, the Bengals will remain a threat to other teams.

The Steelers are probably already planning a career-ending injury.


Kidding... but it seems to happen a lot with them! Kenny Anderson's neck still hurts from a face-mask sack that seemed to turn his head a complete 180 degrees! Then the Bengals had to draft Esiason to replace him.

Edit:
The face mask to Anderson that looked even worse than this photograph, in slow-motion replay back then. I was certain that his neck was broken after seeing it, but he apparently had an amazingly flexible neck!

6. Well, the Steelers may be planning that, but......

they need to sign Burfict first.......

7. Lol, yes... he was a very dirty player for the Bengals.

Talented, but plain dumb.

4. NFC West

But Seattle is hurt right now. 49ers gave Arizona their toughest challenge of the season. If Trey Lance can develop some accuracy he will be a tough QB to stop.

5. If you told me before the season began that the Pats would lead the Chiefs right now...

I'd be buying playoff tickets. I'm not.
