CINCINNATI BENGALS are the Fav to win the AFC North until you see how their Schedule is put together...Solid 2013 DRAFT...they have "STRAWBERRY Patch" DALTON from "Horned FROGS Gang" TCU at QB and he has to turn the Corner for the great of good of BENGAL Nation...the D should be Top 5...they have Wide Out AJ of "Between the Hedges U" and you don't...A QB DRIVEN League...STRAWBERRY Patch DALTON your up!...#WhoDey #BENGALS #theJUNGLE #TeamMikeBrown

The Bengals went Wild Card again and now the expectations are high as everyone says they have arrived  and agreed bit to what extent. Bengals Lead man Marvin Lewis is solid and he his not on the hot seat but Offensive Coordinator Jay Gruden has to be. It is  QB Driven League and Gruden has to get his guy Dalton to be more efficient and playing better in the clutch.

The Bengals Offense isn't all about QB "Strawberry Patch" as its about all those Toys around Dalton. Wide out AJ Green is an Elite Pigskin Grabber on then outside and they must find  suitable #2 opposite of him that can take away pressure from Green and Dalton. They add 2013 Top Pick Tight End/WR Tyler Eifert to go along with TE Jermaine Gresham as Mohamed Sanu is opposite of Green as the #2 on the Depth Chart. Watch Andrew "Jungle Waterbug' Hawkins as he is a nice slot  and proved that in 2012. Rook 2nd round pick Giovani Benard should take some carries from Starter Benjarvus Green-Ellis. The O-Line is led by Left tackle Big Whitworth and Center Kyle Cook. Andre Smith is solid but his weight is always an issue.

Defensively they are built by Lewis and soon-to-be Lead Man Mike Zimmer and that have studs all over that "D" and it starts up front. The "Atkins Diet" Geno Atkins is to me the premier DT in the game and string as King Kong in the middle. He allows Backers like Maulauga and Burfict to fly around and make plays. They ad from the Rival Steelers James "Mr. Clean" Harrison as he moves to a 4-3 and play the Sam Backer. Book ends Carlos Dunlap and Mike Johnson are as good as any on Sunday. The Secondary is good with former Pro-Bowler Leon Hall and Ex-Cowboy CB Terrence Newman. Safety Reggie Nelson hold the Safeties down and watch for Nickel Corner Adam "Pac-Man" Jones.

Dalton has to make plays in the clutch and stay consistent. A Healthy Run Game should help him as having All-World WR AJ Green doesn't hurt at all.

That "D" is scary and they will need all

of that and then some looking at their schedule right out the gate.
