Give Me Your Gut Feeling, Do The Bengals Finish Above .500?

I say no. Even if the young tackles eventually become adequate or even good, it's going to take time for a line with 3 new to relatively new starters to gel. I think they'll take their lumps in a major way early in the season. Hopefully time and experience will mold them into a solid unit by season's end, but I don't see it happening right out of the preseason. The youth and inexperience will cost several games IMO.

I see a 5-6 win season.
