They haven't had a winning division record since the 2009 sweep.

Going off the past, I don't see how anyone could reasonably predict anything other than 8-11 wins and a swift first round ass-kicking.

Agree,

IF a whole bunch of things go right I could see this being one of the better Bengal teams ever. If Geno can come back somewhere close to what he was. If MJ can come back to what he was and Dunlap can finally learn how to finish.

If Burfict can return and or Hawk and Dawson step in a contribute. If Dennard and Kirkpatrick can step up into starting roles and/or Jones and Hall still have something left.

If Eifert and Jones can come back and realize the potential they've shown. If Hill can continue and they learn how to use Gio. If Andy can find the confidence he's displayed here and there and keep it.

One could go on and on but then you realize it's the same HC and most of the same staff that have layed one of the bigger eggs in post season history so................. 10 -6/ 9 -7 range is all I see with the schedule we have and I have near zero post season hope.

Pray they prove me wrong
