Yes, the Bengals finish above .500 this season.
Why, you might ask?
1. 3rd place schedule should be kind to them.
2. Consistency among the coaching staff. Last year we lost both our excellent OC, as well as a tremendous DB coach.
3. Consistency in the receiving corps. Last year we were coming off of losing two WR regulars.
4. Emergence of two defensive players drafted last year injects vitality and enthusiasm to the defense, as well as Vigil stepping into a regular role.
5. Marvin hasn't been offered his customary extension. He feels a need to prove, once again. (though I wish he would have retired two seasons ago)
6. Andy Dalton is a battle tested veteran. Do not underestimate him, he can be a bad mo-fo.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
