But they get Gilberry back which stabilizes the defense to a certain extent. Burfict has had time to get himself back into his old dominant role as linebacker and leader of the defense. Eifert is back and healthy and ready to score some TD's. The AFCN is up for grabs and the schedule is easier the second half of the season. Bengals win the division with a 10-5-1 record.
Eh. That 7-1 run in 2012 was pretty flukey. Hard to see it happening again 4 years later.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
