First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - RudiandCorey - 09-22-2016
Greetings. Tough Schedule out of the gate, but all that does is open opportunity for a nice run later on.
This is a good team. They effectively are missing three #1 Picks (Eifert, Jackson and Burf - Yes, I know he was undrafted, but he plays like a 1st Round pick) .

Sun. Sept. 18 at Pittsburgh L
Sun. Sept. 25 DENVER 1 p.m. W
Thurs. Sept. 29 MIAMI W
Sun. Oct. 9 at Dallas W
Sun. Oct. 16 at New England* L
Sun. Oct. 23 CLEVELAND* W
Sun. Oct. 30 WASHINGTON W
Sun. Nov. 6 — BYE —
Mon. Nov. 14 at N.Y. Giants L
Sun. Nov. 20 BUFFALO W

Any thoughts?

My thoughts are that the next two weeks are very important to this team. I had them down for a loss at Dallas and at New England. If they don't win the next two weeks, 2-4 or 1-5 becomes a real possibility. And that would be a huge shame because there is much too much talent on this team for that to happen.

We should beat the Giants, i say 11-5 still.
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - Big Boss - 09-22-2016
Winning these next two games is crucial.
Four AFC opponents right off the bat is tough. Have to take 3 of the 4.
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - PlayerFormerlyKnownAsMousecop - 09-22-2016
Pencil me in for 13-3 until further notice.
I know that sounds optimistic, but elite teams post big win totals. And this is supposed to be an elite team. The Denver game will reveal a lot.

Monday night game...throw it in the loss category with Marvins Monday night record for getting his team ready in prime time!
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - BengalFanInNJ - 09-22-2016
I hope they can be at least 3-3 after the New England game. The next 7 games after they should go at least 5-2. Then the last 3 will be very tough. They can go 3-0 or 0-3. Finishing at 9-7 may not be good enough.
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - BengalHawk62 - 09-22-2016
they have a much better chance of going 6-10, IMO.
Can we somehow pin this thread and come back to it through out the season. If we end up with double digit wins at the end of the year, I will gladly come back and eat a fresh warm helping of crow. It'll be the best crow I've ever had. But, that won't be happening........because 6-10 is our ceiling this year. But, look at the bright side......we get a top ten draft pick next year!

We were elite.....In 2015.
We will finish worst-case 8-8 and best case 10-6
I think we took a step back (Eifert, O-line is worse, Burfict, MJ, ST's, Nelson, Hall and even HUE!!) and this is all compounded by a harder schedule.

I say worst case 5-11, best case 13-3. I don't see why we would have suddenly lost the potential to win 12+ games when the core of last year's team is still here. Turnover is the ultimate enemy of elite franchises, but we've remained relatively sturdy.
But teams tank all the time: Look at Baltimore last year. I think they're going to be closer to 9-7 this year.
As for us, though, I could see the team tanking and winning around 5 games. But I also see it as just a likely (if not, MORE likely) that they get a first round bye. You have to take into account all of the factors that have made this a winning team for the past 5-6 years. That stuff doesn't just go away. Success is about consistency. People are reading a little too much into these first two games IMO.
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - Go Cards - 09-22-2016
Still see Bengals at 12-4 or 11-5.
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - guyofthetiger - 09-22-2016
I think we lose this weekend against Denver and go 1-2. Just watch all the homers say the season is over. We'll end up 11-5 or 10-6 and in the playoffs. I think we beat the Steelers at PBS too.
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - masonbengals fan - 09-22-2016
Have to be at least 3-3 after the first six games. IMHO

RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - 'E' - 09-22-2016
Best case scenario 10 - 6
Worst case 8 - 8
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - bengalguy71 - 09-22-2016
Based upon the new guys, including OC, getting adjusted, injuries, and the politics, AND if they win Sunday and Thursday, I will stick to my original 9-7 no playoffs. Lose the next two, 7-9.
Also, I will predict Steelers/Pats AFC Championship game.

Well if i remember correctly you had the Jets drilling the Bengals by like 20 points.. so im thinking you will be eating some crow at end of year
RE: First Post - My Season Prognostication to 10 and 6 - Brownshoe - 09-23-2016
Jesus how do some people have us going .500 or worse? The only way that happens is if Dalton goes down or multiple key injuries. I know we just lost to Pittsburgh, but come on.
