Point is that nothing is settled yet since we are at the BEGINNING of a 17 game season. (now 16 left)

HEALTH will become an important factor in how Strong a Team ends up being by the end of the Season compared to others.

The Bengals have retained a Core of players that have done it before in terms of a Super Bowl appearance and two AFC Championship 

appearances. 

They have added some Roster depth and made an attempt at improving the O-line.

HEALTH alone could allow the O-line to be better than what it has been during recent Playoff runs. 

This Team still has a chance at being a better Team than the 2022 & 2021 Teams due to Experience and what seems to be a better Roster.

The Sky isn't falling as some suggest...

For sure.


It's great that only 6 AFC teams got a win since the Bengals lost.
It would have been nice though for a seeding purpose to get a game up on the Chiefs and Bills.
They are the biggest competition for the Bengals, IMO.
