Confidence compaired to this time last year?

[BengalD]

It's hard for me to think realistically about expectations for this team at this time of year. I just am jacked up about football season coming and don't really have a point of reference to measure where I think they might go. I usually have pretty good judgment after week 3 of pre-season. So far - things I like: Drafting of Price, pickup of Glenn and change of offensive line coach. Things I'm concerned about: Eifert (it's time to fish or cut bait), Tez suspensions and quality of LB back ups, and possible improvements of Baltimore and Cleveland (got to win the division before you can worry about a playoff run - or it certainly makes it a heck of a lot easier). So where's my confidence - middle of the road.
