I say that they will improve.

They have a good team and they also have a pretty easy schedule.

Last year they were 7-9. I say this year they will go 8-8.

They start off against the Ravens this year, who they can beat. The Ravens don't have a great team.

1-0

Tennessee - They don't have a good WR and the Titans will lose

2-0

Giants - The Giants have a good team, and this is where the Bengals receive their first loss.

2-1

Browns - they have a good team, and with an improved defense, the Bengals lose

2-2

Dallas - The Bengals lose this in a blowout.

2-3

Jets - the Bengals will win this

3-3

Steelers - The Bengals are losing here

3-4

Jaguars - The Bengals are playing at home, but lose this.

3-5

Houston - The Bengals win this game.

4-5

Philadelphia - Bengals offense drives them for the win

5-5

Pittsburgh - Bengals lose at heinz field.

5-6

Baltimore - the Bengals win this for the same reason as game 1.

6-6

Indy - THe Bengals lose this

6-7

Washington - It'll be tough, but the Bengals win

7-7

Cleveland - Bengals lose here

7-8

Kansas City - The Bengals win here

Well...you didn't post an argument, so I kinda posted one.

QB-That means he will have a less picks this year.
RB-They might not have that great of a RB, but we aren't talking about Fantasy football either.
WR-They have good WR, with a good QB to help them out. Chad Johnson has calmed down a little, so TJ and CJ will do well this year as they have in past years.

O-Line - The O-Line might be having a little age problems, but they still are a good o-line and can block for the passing game. The Bengals had a good passing game last year, and that is what they will have this year, a not-so-good running game, with a good passing game.

Again, the old problems are being dealt with. They have Lynch and Hall to deal with the oldness of the D-backFIELD. They will do okay in the backfield.

The Linebackers will do well as they don't have the age factor effecting them. They will do well this year, and they don't seem to have a big problem on defense. They will be doing well this year, and the defense will be able to stop the opposing teams, and the Bengals will get to a 8-8 record.

Lot of talent = 8 wins

Carson Palmer isn't going to have another career-high for interceptions. His INTs will go down. He will have a better year, and half less INTs than last year.

We are talking about this UPCOMING season, not Palmer's rookie year. He might not have had a lot of INTs in his rookie year, but last year he did, and this year he will have less.

I know you can have more than 20 INTs, and I'm saying that Palmer will have LESS than last year.

Yes...the RB situation isn't the best spot for the Bengals. It isn't really going to effect them that much. They might have some little porblems with the running game, but that isn't going to effect the record of the team, very much.

The old problems are being dealt with by getting younger players, like they have been.

They might have decreased in wins, but that doesn't mean that they will continue the trend. They will get 8 wins, so they will actually RAISE the winning mark from last year.

Chad Johnson will actually report to camp, so how much does he really want out of Cincy?

Their main criminal (Chris Henry) is gone, so that will be a benefit to the Bengals.

They have a medium schedule.

They will IMPROVE from last year.
