Bengals@Seahawks Prediction

[*PhilHos*]

My head says Seattle wins, but my heart thinks Cincinnati.

I am reminded of the 2009 season. Owners lockout the players making for a shortened offseason. Carson Palmer quits. The Bengals draft Dalton in the 2nd Rd to basically be the new franchise QB. Rookie QB starting after a shortened offseason. Everyone and their mom just KNOWS the Bengals aren't going to win more than 3 games. Bengals go on to make the playoffs that season and the next few seasons as well.

This year, there's no shortened offseason, but the major pieces of our coaching staff are all noobs at their positions. And everyone just KNOWS we aren't going to win many games. I can't help but think that maybe, just maybe, we'll surprise everyone and make the playoffs again and maybe, juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust maybe, win a playoff game or 4.
