I'll elaborate. Pure hunch, but their season mirrored the Bengals last season--horrible start, looked like they weren't going to win a game, found a HB and started kicking butt with a running game and D in the last quarter of the season.
However, they do not get a Carson Palmer back as part of the following season, but they will get advantageous scheduling due to the last place finish in the division. I look for them to be vying for a playoff bid next year while the Steelers and Ravens slip to below .500, as things look going into the offseason.

Hopefully Josh Cribbs leaves the Browns.

Wonder if the Bengals could lure Cribbs to play for them?
Based on my experience of watching Mike Brown as a GM, and after the money they dumped into Vern Coles, I really doubt it, EtR.
Washington. They have a great Defense already, and are bringing in the best zone-blocking Coach in the Universe; zone-blocking being the easiest system to learn if you have new personnel, which they need on their entire Offensive Line.
Kansas City is my 3rd choice. Their Defense is actually better than their Offense right now. They have no Center, whatsoever, and will have to either take the best Center in the draft or sign a really good one in Free Agency. If they don't do that, they'll be in the lottery again. If they do, they could win those 10 games. It's that important of a decision.
Unfortunately, for Seattle, they failed to address the Left Tackle position last year and instead took Aaron Curry. Worst decision in last year's draft and the reason why the G.M. was fired. Now the team is two years behind because they also need a new Quarterback. Max Unger was a great pick, but he can't play every line position like he did at Oregon. He did play both LG and C for Seattle this year. There are too, too many holes at Seattle. They need two Wide Receivers, Safeties, Cornerback, Quarterback, Left Tackle, Right Tackle, and another Center/Guard. They're looking at another lottery season next year. They're completely rebuilding.
