Why the Bengals will win in 2017

[masterpanthera_t]

I agree with the post overall SHRacerX. I feel like the kicking game improving (not a guarantee, but we're all optimistic about this), should give us a win or two more than last year. But I'm not going to say anything until I see how the offensive line performs. This point goes in general, but is especially true of the Oline: Injuries will decide the season. An injury at a key spot say, Andre at right guard or Ogbuehi at LT (as bad as he played last year), would put us in a tailspin I believe. I know you've said that they're high on Redmond and maybe Westerman, but until those guys get their feet wet and show us they can handle it, I would say that Andre and Ogbuehi need to stay healthy and ball out for us to have a good season. Same goes for key players like Geno, and Burfict and A.J. Green. Maybe we've built up some depth in the DLine and WR corps, but it's still just on paper. But having said all that, I appreciate the enthusiasm of this post. If we stay fairly healthy this year, I don't see why we won't make the playoffs.
