Ohhhhh man, I think I'm ready to nominate Kumerow for the 2016 Golden Binns award, already!!

Lol made me chuckle. We're sure fire afc 1st seed as long as we play a 2nd year undrafted player who spent all last year on the PS. If we don't we probably won't even make the playoffs tho  hope the coaches are smart enough to realize that

13-3

We split with the Steelers, the Browns and we lose across the pond. Other than that, I think we sweep the Ravens and win a couple of close, last minute games we're not expected to in Texas and against the Pats. It's a hard schedule, but we are as good or better than any team we face.

I just look at how he has been said to make all these insane catches and Dosent drop any catches literally catches
EVERYTHING I know it's without pads but still.... And plus can you imagine our height in the redzone????? Tyler eifert 6"6 250 jake kumerow 6"5 206 aj green 6"4 207 and Brandon lafell 6"3 210 that would be sick in the redzone I would play Boyd throughout the game and if u have trouble scoring from the 3 put kumerow in there

14-2 With Secured HFA for the playoffs.

I think the Bengals end up 11-5 and might tie the Steelers for the division. We win the tie breaker.

We will lose the tie breaker.
Win our wild card game.
Beat the Steelers @ their home.

I think this is about right, but it will hinge on more than Dalton's health. 

We need Geno to stay healthy, Eifert to stay healthy, and a credible running game.

I'm torn on the Giants game. Giants D-line is much improved and I think the rest of the defense will be much better than last year. Bengals beat the 2015 Giants. Just not sure how all the changes to their defense pans out.

Checked the Lindy's and Sporting News 2016 previews and the Sporting News predicts the Steelers to win the Super Bowl. Lindy's predicts the Bengals to lose in the Super Bowl (to the Cardinals). Interesting.

Undefeated all the way and bragging rights for the Lombardi.. Chase Coffman will come out of retirement to lead them to the 2nd Lombardi too..
Ok, maybe the second one is a stretch.. Just slightly..

Yikes, I was shocked at the number of 9-7 predictions.

I think if we went 9-7 we'd miss the playoffs. This ain't the NFL East where 8-8 sometimes gets you the division and I only see one 9-7 team getting a wildcard spot.

I'll go with 12-4. I believe Dalton will continue his improved leadership and the offense will roll well most of the time. I also believe that the whole team has a chip on its shoulder shaped like a battle ax. I'm looking to see fire coming out of Hill and Burfict all year long.

Why? Depleted WR, unknown CB depth, new coordinator, same HC. Seems logical to me. Granted, I hope we are 12+ wins because "Any given Sunday" but come on...

10-6 looking at the games that "should" be won or lost based on my gut feeling and all other factors being equal. The games never play out so neatly where they lose away, win at home, and there are no upset wins/losses, but I just tried to play the odds so as to be close.

The last time we lost as many as 7 games was 5 years ago when we had a rookie QB and a new OC from the Arena League with no off season OTAs to install the new scheme.

There is nothing that "seems logical" about predicting we will drop that low again just because we have a new #2 WR and OC.

I'd have to disagree with this point. The Bengals definitely KNOW their CB depth. And one could argue its one of the strongest CB cores in the league...Only unknown part would be the 1st round draft pick in WJIII, but even without him they were solid. Add him to the mix and CB is towards the bottom of my concerned list.

Everything else I agree with.

Those aren't the only factors but I hope you are right.

I've yet to see consistency with anyone behind Jones.

Correct. You also mentioned that we have the same HC that has won more than 9 games for each of the last four seasons.
