Who's Better?? Bengals or Vikings?

My buddy is a huge Bengals fan, and i am a huge Vikings fan, and for the last 3 days we have been in a heated debate over who the better team is this season, and who the better team is historically (The Vikes, hands down). What is your input? and if your a packers or a bears fan just answering the question just to say that the vikes suck, dont bother please. i would like your honest opinion on who the better team is, not an argument about whos gonna win the nfc north.

    geez...some great debate there...the bengals are a flat out joke. Palmer is hurt once again, cedric benson for a starting running back? Are you serious? Chris Henry is back on the team? Are you serious? Chad "I am the most selfish ego maniac" johnson is still on the team? Their Defense sucks, their coach sucks! Now as for the Vikings, they have the best RB in All day AP..They have a decent TE and WR. They have a way better Defense. I hate Brett Favre but they will be hands down better then the bengals. Does your buddy realize the bengals have to play the steelers and ravens 2 times each this season? Thats already 4 losses.

    As for history.,the bengals still havent recovered from losing the last minute super bowl to joe montana. The Purple people eaters are the better team historically as well.

    P.S - I am a cowboys fan! So I dont like either team, just giving u my honest opinion

    Cheers

    Is there really an argument here? Is your friend high? Vikings are way better! I'm a Charger/Packer fan and I will honestly tell you that the Vikings are currently better in every category except MAYBE the QB. The Bengals have almost never been really dominate in the NFL, and the Vikings have at times been one of the best teams in the league. It is Vikings, no contest.

    I dont even know how he can make that argument. The Bengals arent better at any position except maybe QB, and the Vikings have the best defensive line and running back in the game. The Bengals dont have a single top end unit.

    Your friend needs to stop being a homer, and get comfortable with Cincy finishing last in their division.

    I would say Vikings.

    They have a best non-QB player in the league with AP. There the #2 rushing team and #1 rushing defense in the league.

    Bengals QB is constantly injured, the running game is suspend and they dont have TJ anymore. Chris Henry could be great along with Ocho, but Vikings just have more.

    The WR core for the Vikes could do great things, especially if Farve can hold up. Also, Harvin might be a beast.

    The Vikings are a better team historically and most likely a better team this year but that could change with just 1 injury.

    By the way neither team has won a SuperBowl.

    Vikings without a doubt. Though I've often wondered "what if" Carson Palmer was playing QB for the Vikes. I think its a sad situation for him. A really good QB on a not so great team.

    The Vikings r a bttr team

    Vikngs- winning record last year, had the best running back in the league (Peterson) and one of the best defences, they didnt have a great QB to start though, they went back and forth, now thay have a great QB who kno's wut he is doing and Harvin also who will catch

    Bengals- losing record last year, not nearly as good a running back, got rid of houshmanzedah (that'll hurt them the most) good QB though, so yeah Vikings have a shot at winning the superbowl, Bengals will be lucky if they go 8-8

    Source(s): hope this helped :-)

    Vikes, Better running game, o line and defense...

    but the Bengals have a better QB...and if Ochocinco ever gets his sorry $h!t together, he could easily be one of the best wideouts in the league...

    Vikings

    The Bengals organization is a joke, top to bottom, on field and off.

    Their record in the 90's alone takes them out of comparison against 90% of the NFL. Their owner and lack of a G.M. removes them from comparison against the other 10% of the NFL.

    Until this organization gets serious about competing in modern day NFL they are a laughing stock, and not worth mention or comparison to other NFL franchises.
