I would love to know the "logic" behind a 4-12 prediction, but I refuse to click the link.
I think all the losing predictions every year just shows that the media is hoping the Bengals go away. They are one of the most consistent, stable and well run teams in the NFL over the last 5+ years, so a drop to 4-12 with no major losses/holes makes zero sense.
That said, the Bengals are a boring team for national media. No one outside of a relatively small radius gives two squats about the Bengals, and they haven't offered anything new or exciting to talk about in several years. We're really good but not quite great in regular season, then we make a quick playoff exit.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
