Games 1 - 4 very important for 2016 season

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Earlier this offseason I had the Bengals starting 4-0 and then winding up 4-2.

Of course that was when Eifert was expected back in the first two weeks, Ced and Fisher weren't banged up, Dennard wasn't banged up, Hunt and Chykie weren't going to be on the roster, I had more enthusiasm for the Bengals safeties, and I expected LaFell to actually do something...

I think with that in mind I am adjusting my thoughts to 3-1 and then 4-3. I also have the Bengals losing one of the two Browns games (no idea which, but they often play down to the Browns and then split) and I think the Redskins will be a tough team.... I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals head into the bye week at 4-4 (losses to Broncos, Cowboys, Pats, Redskins).

Then have them finishing the final 8 games at 10-6 and 4-2 in the division.
