Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens had a pretty good run last season under new QB Joe Flacco and when things like that happen I think we find out in the next season whther this is just how it is going to be with him or was it just a fluke. If I am not mistaken I beleive the Raven also lost thier Defensive Coordinator who went off to become a head coach so that also leaves question on how thier D will be this as well. Considerinfg those two whammys they might do a little worse this season.
Cincinnati Bengals: I have no faith in Bengals to be any good. I think Palmer could be s good QB but doesn't he get injured like every year and end up not playing out the season. Seems like it. And then there is Ocho Cinco or hiowever its spelled. Could be a great WR but is just too much about himself. Finally we have thier coach, Marvin Lewis. I think he sucks and every year i am surprised he doesn't get fired.
Cleveland Browns: Eric Mangini was fired by Jets and hired by the Browns. I don't know but the Browns just seem like a team that just can't catch a break as something is always going wrong with them. Anyway they still are messing around with thier QB situation with Anderson and Quinn have to fight for the position this season. No matter who wins both are higher paid so it eats up cap space having them both there. Stallworth, thier WR is probably going to jail for killing man by driving drunk. Edward thier other WR couldn;t cath last season and they lost thier TE Winslow to the Buccs I think. Not sure I expect much from these guys this year either.
Pittsburgh Steelers: The luckiest team in football won its sixth championship last season. If the Browns can't catch break and get any luck this team had it all. I guess the biggest question I have is will thier D be as good this year. I have feeling teams will play them better because last season was really the coming out party for thier coach and now people have better idea how plays it could affect how well they do too. Not to mention both the usual teams to beat in the AFC were a little down last season, the Colts and the Pats. With that mind if those teams are in theier usual form the Steelers probably will not do as well whether thier D is as good or not because they have been beaten before when they were the so-called best D in football and it can happen again. And repeating is almost out of the question.I could see them with about the same record as last season or a little worse.
