YoloinOhio Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I went with Steelers. I just have a feeling they are going to be good if Ben is healthy. I think the bengals are a sleeper team in this division. I believe in joe Burrow as the real deal and he has weapons and a last place schedule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenbar Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I went with Cleveland, taking a shot that their QB puts it together and their defense plays up to their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I believe in Captain obvious meaning the Ravens with Pittsburgh taking one of the three wildcard spots. GB was right on the other thread Denver has a very good shot at the second wildcard spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessAccepted Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I went with Pittsburgh. I think there's a lot on film on Lamar Jackson now and teams have had time to figure some things out. He'll still be effective but not to the same extent as last year. Big Ben is back and all reports are that he is healthy. They'll push the Ravens for the top slot this year. Both teams will make the playoffs but I'm giving the Steelers the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Can I change my vote? Or, in the political climate of 2020 being thrown about by both sides, can I have another vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Mayfield. Granted he had a great rookie year and got some big time commercial deals out of it. I'm thinking that after this season the only commercials you're going to see him on will be for products like Mr Pillow and Shamwow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That locker room has such a volatile mix of personalities, none of whom have ever won in the NFL. Talent doesn’t matter when you have a QB with questionable leadership skills and no maturity. Any chance that Mayfield had to be a good QB was tossed away when Beckham, Hunt, and that circus came to town last year. The offseason accolades last year likely fed into that arrogant egotistical part of Mayfield you don’t want to feed. Mayfield is a more restrained version of Manziel. Not as much off field drama, and a better skill set, but I question his work ethic when things get tough. Cleveland is the ultimate “anti-process” team. Talent doesn’t matter when you have zero character on the roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Definitely going with Baltimore. They have talent all over their roster, and I think Pittsburgh get overrated just by being Pittsburgh. I don’t think we’ll see the Big Ben of old. The injury concerns with him are quite real at this point. Having an entire year off isn’t going to do Ben any favors imo. He also doesn’t have Brown or Bell these days, but I could be wrong. I actually like where the Bengals are headed more than the Steelers at this point. Lamar Jackson might get “figured out” somewhat, but a lesser version of Jackson would still be great. I think too many people here are predicting Jackson’s downfall, and expecting Big Ben of the early 2010’s to come back. Just because Big Ben is “a real QB” in the eyes of some, doesn’t mean Jackson isn’t the better QB right now.

I agree that Ben's health is obviously the key. I think the blueprint has been written (primarily by the Bills) for how to stop a Lamar Jackson-led offense and we see significant regression.

Mark Vader Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I think the Ravens will come down to Earth this year, but I still think they win the division. The Bengals could surprise, but not that quickly. The Browns are better, but not the best. The Steelers are tough on defense, but I question just how good Roethlisberger will be.

NewEra Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Tough one. I think the browns will be right there with the Steelers and Ravens, but I think the Calais Campbell trade will put the ravens ahead of the pack when it’s said and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 This is a tough one. I went with Baltimore, but Pittsburgh is solid too, and I could even see Cleveland putting a run together if things break right for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Baltimore by 3 games unless the rest everyone and lose the final two. Pittsburgh is going to implode this year. 6-10. Bengals will be lucky to go 3-13. Cleveland disappoints at 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Ben’s swan song of sneaky good old man game will carry the division but falter/peter out in the playoffs, probably by the divisional round—just too good during the reg season imho for them not to be on top of the division.
