Bengals go 7-9   8-8...you will see changes at the end of the year..Lewis will be gone  and by that time Mc Carron will most likely be our starting quarterback

FYI as you keep spewing schedule

Steelers have a tougher schedule than us. The Ravens have an equally tough schedule

The Browns have the easiest schedule

Steelers - Additions/Subtractions and suspensions
Bryant out 1st 4 games
Bell out first 2 games
Troy P. gone
Taylor gone
Keisel gone
Pouncey out at least 8 games

Key Pickups - ? I don't see any FA pickups of significance

Ravens
Lost Ngata
McPhee
Torrey Smith
J. Jones
O. Daniels
Pita - still out
Urban - still hurt
Additions FA - none significant
Need rookies to start immediately or make major impact at TE and WR (Perriman has bot practiced in 3 weeks)

I am confused by those who say we have not done as much or more as others in the AFCN

I am confused why those same people dismiss the schedules of the other AFCN teams

The only way we go 6-10 in my humble opinion is we lose our QB to injury. As much as I love AJ's potential, I don't think he is close to AD and an injury to our starting QB would force Hue to dumb down the play book.
