Key word stressed. Bengals are going to be a bottom feeder this season.

Last season, they were 13th in the league in passing yards and 27th in rushing yards. Yet gone are last year's starting QB, #1 receiver, #2 receiver. Last year's running back was brought back.

Essentially the same, league average at best, defense.

"Less than 6" is too optimistic.

3 road wins is generous. This is looking like a 3-13 season.

@jdog2345 - what happened to your response to my response?

On the subject of addition by subtraction. That is a possibility long-term. It has been a possibility for this organization for years, now going on 2 decades. I don't believe Bengals fans will ever be a winning organization until Mike Brown is no longer owner.

Apparently the Bengals formula for wins will be "0 penalties, 0 turnovers, pretty good defense and pound the ball for 3.5 YPC". They actually have a veteran team at positions that aren't QB and WR. The WR's are pretty talented but young, and Dalton looked decent for a rookie (accurate, good decisions) before getting hurt. They still have a 7 win ceiling.

So, who is it? Bengals, Raiders, or Falcons?

Bumping all of your threads is pretty dumb.

Wow, that's some analysis.

Why the F are you bumping multiple threads on completely unrelated teams? Are you a fan of all three? Why not create other threads while you're at it? Titans? Jaguars? Dolphins?

Looks like 3-13 was wrong. And they already have two road wins. I realize that they have a weak schedule, but I still thought that they were weaker than a lot of those weak teams.

Getting anything of value for Palmer is just gravy.
