Tank?

I don't think this team will have to intentionally tank to end up at 4-12. That's very possible to happen even if they try.
I can see this team beating the Colts and the Browns again, but outside of that, I'm not confident in any other game.
I think at best this team goes 7-9 with wins over the Colts, Browns, Ravens, Bears, and Titans.
And unless this team can magically make the playoffs, I don't see any justifiable way to sign Marvin Lewis to an extension as HC.
And unless this organization invests hard in 2+ starters on OL in the offseason, there will be no chance for this core of players to ever win a playoff game, as their window is closing by no later than 2020.
