The Bengals schedule is neither tough nor easy based upon last year's results. The whole strength of schedule statistic before a season is totally useless. The only way you can tell how hard a schedule is is after then season has finished. The Bengals had a "tough" schedule last year and started 8-8. KC sucked when we played them, the seahawks weren't playing well at the time we caught them, the chargers were supposed to be good, the Bengals were playing the raiders....a team we had never beaten in Oakland, etc. Then a bad texans team rolls into town and beats us in our house...and they go on to win their division and a WC game 30-0. So I put zero substance in any schedule strength numbers prior to a season.
