How about the Browns or have we seen the end of the Raven dominance? Ravens have already lost to Cincy to!!!?

The Ravens loses to Cleveland and Cincinnati teams put them 0-2 in their race for the division title. Pittsburgh was also defeated on Sunday (outside the division). Is this an off year for the AFC North or will we see a surprise team coming out of it like the Bengals or Browns.

    Don't ever underestimate this D. That said, feel free to underestimate this lack-luster, fumble prone, offence. This division belongs to Pitt. Cincy will finish second. Followed by the browns then ravens. I feel though, no one from this division makes the big game in Arizona.

    The Browns are coming along nicely, but I think that they might be a year or so from the top of the division. The Steelers will own this division for some time, but Cleveland is closing fast. (Browns in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear). I was impressed by the Brownies. If they can stay healthy, they should beat Cincy, and Baltimore again. Cleveland actually plays pretty good defense (Something Cincy could learn from).

    Baltimore's defensive dominant days are numbered. This is probably the last year they will dominate. Those guys are OLD and it is starting to show. Did you see Chris McCallister get ROASTED by Braylon Edwards on that bomb? My point exactly.

    The Bengals put up good numbers against the Ravens and it doesn't help that Baltimore has no offense whatsoever. They need a QB, a better RB and a big, fast WR who can stretch the field. Right now they have neither so the tailspin will continue.

    Not an off year for the AFC North, this is called parity. Other teams are finally starting to get it together (Arizona to name one) and they are executing better. They aren't afraid of the Ravens or the Steel curtain. (It did help Arizona that Polamalu was on the sideline the last 10 mins of the game). The Bengals WON'T surprised anyone this year. Ya gotta play D at some point to win. If the Browns can play D, stay healthy and win the close games a playoff spot is a possibility.

    The Browns have recovered nicely since week 1, I've really been really surprised. The Ravens have definately fallen big time since last year..their offense is sickely. Now their defense is falling apart too. I'd day this is still our division to lose, but if the Browns stay the course I can see them winning 8-10 games.

    Long time Steelers fan here. I am glad to see the Browns beat the Bung holes and Ravens. I can't stand the Bengals and their fans. And I hate the Ravens because that ****** Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore.

    Maybe the rivalry between the Browns and Steelers will get better because it is no fun being so one sided.

    The Browns could maybe be second in the division but still won't make a wild card. The Ravens and Bengals can fight it out for the cellar.

    Go Brownies (But you're still gonna get crushed by the Steelers)

    Since when has there been Raven dominance? Last I checked it's been 7 years since they won ANYTHING! Couldn't happen to a better team, especially since most Baltimore fans are so obsessed with what the Redskins are doing anyway. When Ravens fans stop worrying about the Redskins and start concentrating on teams in their own division, they might actually win something of some significance.

    HERE WE GO BROWNIES!

    I hope to see the Browns continue to do well this year, but I am being realistic. Unfortunately (though I absolutely HATE saying it!) The Steelers will probably take the division, but I'm hoping the Brownies will at least put up a fight next time they play each other now that they've got wins over Cincy and Baltimore. That's all I want, a win over the Steelers, then I'd be satisfied. :D

    Steelers will take the division. Keep in mind, the Steelers were facing a coach who knew many of the Steelers' players tendencies because he coached there for so long. However, the Browns do look good, Ravens need some more offensive weapons, and Cincy clearly needs help on defense as you will see tonight.

    Pittsburgh will win the division.

    I will cry if we lose to the Browns!

    Its still probably the Steelers division to lose. Browns may scratch and claw to an 8-8 which they should be very happy with. Ravens will probably do worse. Bungles, well, will feel at home in the basement again.
