Because I sure am not.
32 - 14? What am I missing? This stat would mean Burfict has missed 46 games in his career, which isn't even possible He has missed a total of 17 games in his career. 6 games in 2015 and 11 games in 2014. We had 10-5-1 record in 2014 and 12-4 record in 2015. We can win without Burfict.

Yep... the players, the owners, and the league all want to find new ways to make more money. Simple as that.

I was hoping we would get the Texans early in the year before Oswieller got a lot of game experience with his new teammates. I don't think he is going to be a really good NFL QB, but if he is playing with one of the best defenses in the league he can win a lot of games just by "managing the game". And he should get better over the course of the season the more he gets used to his receivers.

Unfortunately DeAndre Hopkins doesn't need a good QB. It will probably be another really good game. Watt vs Dalton is a great rivalry haha.

And on the other side of the coin, a certain rapist-led group of assbags are handed a gift. This, after coaches pulling hair, antagonizing players DURING a game, and being on the field when they shouldn't. I hope the Bengals turn right back around and shove it a mile up the NFL's arse and win the whole f'n thing.

They're saying the Jets / Steelers / Broncos record combined was 32-14 last year.

Well, the Bengals have struggled with the Dolphins in prime time, obviously the Texans in prime time, and the Steelers in prime time. They don't really play the Giants much, this will be the 9th time ever.
Everyone's so worried about the first 3 games. If Geno Smith is the QB, I'm not worried about the Jets at all. They have talent and I think they're a playoff team, but certainly no reason why the Bengals can't beat them. The Bengals beat the Steelers with a rusty/injured Burfict. We almost beat the Broncos without Dalton.
The Bengals first 6 games will be the toughest. Jets, Steelers, Broncos, Dolphins, Cowboys, and Patriots.
After that they only play 3 teams that were above .500. Texans, Redskins, and Steelers.
The Bengals have a much easier schedule this year it seems. The Bengals can beat anyone on that schedule and should beat at least 10 of those teams. At. Least.

Yup, this is what I mean. 10 win team, 10 win team, 12 win team.

2010 (at Ravens)
Only once in seven seasons (2014) have we not ended with the Ravens, and in five of the last six we hosted.
Bet the Ravens are curious why they always spend New Years in Cincinnati as well.
One would think they could mix that up a little every now and again.

Isn't it usually the Steelers we finish with?

Bell will make it half to his first game healed 100% (thanks to HGH and a shady Steeler organization for procuring it for him).
Bank on it

HGH has been proven to lead to more torn ligaments and mucles to athletes. Maybe that's why he's always getting hurt o.O

NFL teams play a 16 game season.. so that would be 32-16 not 32-14 that is what had people confused.

I don't think so. From what i understand they don't switch out helmets for "color rush" unis.
