I think Bengals can easily take the dub here...
With all the changes of the 53 and new coaches,I am finding it hard to make a solid prediction before we play a game,however,I too am very concerned about depth,injuries and all that.I could easily see a 9/7 season or worse because of upcoming injuries.I just do not see new players coming in from college as being as tough as they used to be.Too many injuries of rooks and to me that says something about conditioning prior to hitting the big bad NFL.
THIS first game against gang green is going to tell us how tough this team is.I have my doubts about this year.Talk about a brutal schedule coming out of the gate.I mean,it doesn't get any worse than having to go to NY and play them on 9-11.I feel as if we are going to get hammered.Too many new players that are unproven and we still have Margus Hunt.I mean.REALLY. If we are able to whipp the jets,I for one will be so stoked.I just do not see it,and you just know the stinkin stoolers are going to kill us the second game and we will be back of them by two games and will never recover.I could easily see them taking the division.they have a different mindset up there at three rivers than our coaches do.If we fail to make the post-season,marv will be gone.

Cautiously optimistic here but all we can go on is franchise history until they prove otherwise!

12-4 with big momentum coming off the Sunday night win over the Squealers and then the Xmas Eve win on the road at Houston. Setting us up for #2 seed into the playoffs.

I know what I saw from the first team in the preseason and even without Tyler Eifert and Vontaze Burfict on the field the Bengals were smooth, dominant, and executed well. Ken Zampese might be a better offensive coordinator than Hue Jackson because, among other things, Ken doesn't abandon the run. I think the 2016 Bengals will be very balanced on offense but I also sense Ken will favor the run game.
As for the defense, Paul Guenther can build on last year's success and be even more fearsome in 2016.
My prediction? 14-2.

I keep telling you guys...
I don't see a loss on that schedule.
But somehow they'll manage to lose 5-6 games... Par for the course for this team.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

I'm sticking with 11-5 at the low end and 13-3 at the top end. Team could set a team record this year.

I like this team but I think it takes a while for them to gel. First part of the season will be rough expecting them to go 3-5 or 4-4 to start year.

Under Dalton we have only lost 6 or 7 games twice in 5 years. That was his 1st and 2nd years when the defense wasn't as good and we didn't have that great of weapons. There's no way we lose 6 games.
