Tough to see him go. Hopefully someone will claim him and give him a shot.
Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
So, what is your prediction? How many games will the Bengals win this year?
In looking at their schedule, it's pretty even. About half the games will be very tough and half the games should be fairly easily winnable.
I'm going to go with 10-6. I do think there's a chance they could get to 11-5, but I wouldn't bet on it.
I'm thinking 9-10 wins unless Dalton gets hurt.
I am thinking 8 wins, with luck we may get 10, and with bad luck we may get 6. The offense seems to have a nice flow so far and I love how Dalton is handling all of his duties so far.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I'm hoping for 10 wins, but expecting about 8. It's been 30 years or so since this team has made the playoffs back to back times. That's a long time. They're due, but with their schedule and these injuries piling up, it'll be difficult. I do like their though. If they stay reasonably healthy, they should get better and better as the season goes.

I can see anywhere from 10-6 to 6-10. I think this is a good team, with two very good coordinators. I also think that Dalton has knack to make the big time play when it is needed. He has the ability to escape the pocket and turn a sack into a 5 yard gain. Green may be one of the best WR's in the league but will need some help opposite him. The Law Firm will be a big upgrade over where Ced was last season.
On defense their front 4 is a bunch of "no names" who get the job done. Adkins and Dunlap have the potential to be difference makers. They need a playmaker in the back 7.
If the injury bug doesn't hit a key player this season I think the Bengals have a good shot to make the playoffs. If Green, Dalton, Adkins, Hall, Whit, or any other key cog miss an extended period of time they are in trouble.
The Buccaneers signed Jordan Shipley today.

Jonathan Fanene was released by the Pats. Given the injury concerns on the d-line, I'd love to have him back.
