The Bengals will not win every game probably. Personally, I'm glad we got our asses kicked last night as now practices will be much better. I'm hoping for a good year, but still think 6-10 is our record because of the Oline.

My offseason prediction was 6-10 or 7-9. I still stand by that. Preseason Game 1 didn't give me enough hope to think the Bengals would all of a sudden be a playoff contender.
This team will try to dink and dunk its way down the field on offense, but if the defense plays like it has so far this preseason, there's no chance that the offense can compensate.
We know Mike Brown puts a lot of value on loyalty, and I think he was really surprised to see Whitworth leave after all these years because he thought Whitworth would have been loyal enough to be a Bengal for life. Now the OL is up s**t creek without a paddle and will have to go through (a lot of) growing pains this year. 
I've been preparing myself for a 1st round OT in next year's draft and I still stand by that from what I've seen so far.
