Preseason Predictions - bengalguy71 - 07-13-2017
I think the 'talking heads' got it right this time.
Barring any major injuries I say they will finish;
8-8 and in third place in the division.

RE: Preseason Predictions - Go Cards - 07-13-2017
Think it could be anywhere between 5-11 and 14-2
depending on O-line production and this plus last years draft picks contributing.
RE: Preseason Predictions - Au165 - 07-13-2017
I think we may be 8-8 but I don't think Baltimore has a very good season.
RE: Preseason Predictions - sandwedge - 07-13-2017
I am going to say 9-7 or possibly 10-6. I think we have a few learning stumbles in the beginning, but come on strong to push for a playoff spot. I think patience might be a good virtue to have beginning of this season. I know, we fans have plenty of patience with this team......
RE: Preseason Predictions - Shake n Blake - 07-13-2017
I could see anywhere from 5-11 to 12-4. So much depends on the blocking, but the talent is there everywhere else.
I also agree with au165 that the Ravens won't be that good. Their decent record last year seemed fluky as all get out. Their roster is the ugliest in the division, IMO.

Same. I just can't see them scoring enough points to be any kind of a playoff threat.
RE: Preseason Predictions - McC - 07-13-2017
12-4. Win the division. Beat the Steelers at least once. Make it to AFCCG. Win the SB next year, the monkey being permanently gone.
The offense will improve game by game. The defense will be beastly.

I want to ride with you on this one, but I'm nervous about the oline generating a run game. No run game? Then 8-8 seems likely. As good as he is, Andy can't do it alone.

I am actually more worried about them on the defensive side.

RE: Preseason Predictions - XenoMorph - 07-13-2017

Me too. Their front 7 is still pretty good. OB facing Suggs in game 1, scary! He probably won't sleep the night before...
RE: Preseason Predictions - BengalHawk62 - 07-13-2017
6-10 at the worse.
11-5 at the best.
2-2 in preseason.

O no see I meant I am worried for them. They lost arguably their best CB to an ACL tear along with a very good MLB to retirment. Jimmy Smith is often injured and no match for AJ Green. They are relying on an old Weddle at one safety and Jefferson who is decent at the other. They lost Timmy Jerrinigan off their defensive line who was arguably their best D lineman.
RE: Preseason Predictions - Millhouse - 07-13-2017
My pre-trainingcamp prediction is 7-9.

I've heard this echoed before, several times in the last 13 years! I wouldn't bet the farm on it! Hope so, but history says no.
RE: Preseason Predictions - bengalfan74 - 07-13-2017
I see this team as being fully capable of going 11-5/12-4. They have a large portion of the pieces necessary to be a very competitive team. Trouble is, as has been stated a million times and I agree, it all comes down to the O-line. If they stink as bad as they can 5-11 wouldn't shock me.
If I had to give one number right now sight unseen I'd go 8-8. Here's to hoping we have an O-line and they prove me wrong !

10-6... In the hunt for the division title.

You can argue that history says we make the playoffs also... so I will go with that history that we make the playoffs this year.
