We only have one long raod trip this year (SD) and we get that after being home for 5 of 6 weeks.

Wish we had gotten both of the Florida teams (Mia, TB) up here in Nov/Dec, but hopefully those will not be among our thougher games.

We go to "San Diego", somebody better get fired!! There won't be anyone there....

Usually get excited for the 1st game of the season, but @ Indy??? Colts are the most boring team to watch, especially at home in a ****ing Dome!!

3/4 of the first 4 and last 4 on the road.....    so 6/8 home games right in the middle of prime weather season

I am not sure Ohio has a prime weather season, it has been snowing in April

Overall i like it, rough start but will be anyway with our new coaches. Think we should get into a groove mid season.

I’ve been following the Bengals since the 70’s and I can’t recall a single time that they opened with the Steelers. I wonder if there’s a reason for that. We’ve opened with other divisional opponents many times.

We've lost 9 of our last 10 against the Steelers of that helps open your eyes a bit .

Kind of plain looking but has a nice body, and she usually has a hot girlfriend.

Anyways, it's just the whole concept that makes it unreal!  As long as she's not hideous, it's definitely worth doing!

Well October November games are generally better than Decemeber games.  lol (as far as the weather for sitting in the stadium)

but in OHIO any day can be any season.

I wonder if Luck will be ready by week 1. Could be a blessing to get them early.

I like that we get the Saints, Broncos and Raiders at home. Only 1 prime-time game should help. Unless we get flexed.

Yeah schedule can determine the outcome of the season as much as whos on it...

When you play a team is as important as who you play... if not more.

Last year if we played the packers later in the season we probly are at least 8-8...

Was thinking the same thing, bit odd. Happy we catch them early and they might not have Luck.

I mean as Xeno and Shake said, timing can be as much as anything in the sched.

Luck won’t be right even if he plays. New offense.

Saints at home is a blessing, they are tough indoors.

Assuming we fix the OL to at least respectable I see us doing pretty well.

10-6,11-5

Pitt, Chargers, Saints, Panthers or Falcons, Chiefs

Yes. 3 of 4 on the road to start the season is tough.

Good for Geno, that the Denver game is at home.

6-10 in current form due to many unknowns. Will adjust accordingly

Nate, I agree with your logic. But my friend, the thought of Reich spending 9 months scheming for his first game as HC, has me concerned. 

He's got Andy Reid's west coast playbook, Chip Kelly's spread offense and I'm sure he kept his K-Gun playbook. We have no idea what they'll run.    

If Luck is healthy and they pick Barkley......

This first game worries me.

Shocked there's not a Steelers game in 1-4. Very doable schedule. Probably rough after the bye, but esay leading up to it. Outside of week 2, where we'll just **** the bed.
