That being said, I love the Bengals. This year looks like a 6-10 season (at best). But, that is OK. Have fun this year and support future rebuilding. It will come.

Wanted to start a thread but really didn't have anything to say?

Don't let the door hit you and all that.

Yet you, "love," the Bengals.

Why do all the Homer’s get all butt hurt is it’s not a positive remark about the Bengals. Don’t like it don’t respond. This guys a long time fan n if he feels like a 6 win season so be it. My guess is 5 wins maybe less.

Somewhere between 4-6 and wins is the likeliest outcome. O line is a dumpster fire, linebackers still a liability in coverage, core on the wrong side of 30, division looks tough. I hope they win the Super Bowl this year but there’s a reason the pundits are ripping on the team.

Why the hate for what this guy said? He never said he was giving up on the Bengals. Just giving his prediction for the season. 

The team just needs to get on the same page in all 3 phases and it will take some time.

We win at the least 7 games this season once it starts to come together.

Really tough first PS game against the Chiefs in KC, the starting O looked good the D looked bad.

Played the Skins and the starting O looked bad and the D looked good...

Take the Preseason with a grain of salt except the 3rd game which is coming up.

New coach and you can tell but I like the freshness instead of the stale.

8-8 at worst.

So far, after just 2 games, it looks like Marvin forgot to take penalties and turnovers with him.

I just want to beat the Steelers once this season. That will be a good season for me.

4th place

Wow , you have been around a long time as a fan good for you.  As for me I see a bit more positives than negatives when I look at last year preseason to this year so far.  The lose of Williams and depending on AJ will be a hamper on this teams success this year but I also don;t see a run away team in our division.  4-2 or 3-3 I feel will be the best overall record in the division, with that said on paper we have the most favorable schedule out of division so, 9-7 is in the cards.  

But lets be honest, NFL is way too unpredictable to really get too hyped or down on your team early.  Last year 7 teams I believe made the playoffs that were not in the playoffs the year before.  Also the trend of worse to first in NFL Division has been crazy in this decade..   Alot of this is due to health of teams, I read last year that over 70% of the Teams that made the playoffs were in the top 10 to 15 healthy teams from start to finish .

Trends in the NFL now point to Stay healthy in this league and your team has a chance every year.

Thanks again for being a loyal fan and good health to you

I think 6 wins would be a lofty goal........but thats ok, Marvin is gone and Zac should be given 3 years to right the ship.......

FYP

I would rather go 4-12 or 5-11 to get a better draft pick. 8-8 gives us a terrible pick. We need to get some top level guys on this team.

Plus we gave Bobby hart who is guaranteed to get a minimum of 10 sacks 19 million. Not a good way of saying things have changed.

I get it — but I never hope for Cincinnati to lose.

Me neither, I hope for them to win, but something has changed the last few years when Andy throws a pick 6 to start the game, I turn it off and not watch. That's the beginning of the end...lol

Have you actually seen any of MY guesses? Obviously my guesses are as good as any.. except for any other guesses.

This is still mostly Marvin’s roster we’re working with here. Old habits die hard or something like that.
