Is the AFCN going to be weak in 2016?

They might have a similar record to what they had last year, but that's only because they have a much easier schedule. They didn't replace the loss of their #2 receiver, or their clutch TE. I don't think they really added anyone that will make a big impact this off season. They just lost people.

Their offense was all they had last year, and that got worse during the offseason. How are they going to get better, or even stay the same?

I hope the Steelers take a step back and stink in 2016, but...

Ben might play more than 12 games
The Steelers might replace their #2 WR as easily as we replaced ours
The Steelers are replacing Miller with Ladarius Green who could be as good, if not better than an "on his last-legs" Miller

I guess it's hard for me to understand the assumption that the Bengals can lose offensive pieces and get better while the Steelers will suffer because of it.  I hate the Steelers, but I've also been burned celebrating their demise during the off-season.
