It is the Bengals we are talking about. Anything but winning the Super Bowl wouldn't shock me with this bunch. They have a ton of talent , but undisciplined as can be and they are coached by the Rick Barnes of the NFL.

Well it's sports so who knows. Are the Steelers or Ravens better this year? I am not a Bengals fan but it's clear they are one of the most talented teams in the league. They have truly turned into a pretty good team when it comes to keeping their top young stars paid while letting other teams overpay for their extras.


If Andy Dalton is improved or just as good as he was last year(mvp) candidatE wouldn't BET against them making it to the playoffs and maybe even winning..yes winning a playoff game.

Oh I forgot about mentioning the Browns......

If they learn from previous mental mistakes. A big if. Then they will contend for a super bowl. Way too much talent on the roster these last few years not to win a super bowl. We have to in next 3 years we won't have this loaded roster forever. Although we do draft better than any team in the NFL so it could last awhile but we have to get the monkey off our back. We have to.

Im an enormous Bengals fan and what you say about them being great at the draft is 100% true. Marvin has done a phenomenal job in that phase of the game, which is why I think he would make a great GM. Id like to see Marvin move to the GM role of the Bengals and still be in charge of the draft and get the hell off the sidelines. He is a pretty mediocre coach, but the guy has a hell of an eye for talent and developing players.

Ravens and Browns dont look like much yet again. Steelers will probably make a tough go of it for us but the ACC North is definitely ours to lose going into the season.

I've been a fan of a bad franchise for 20 years now , the Redskins used to be good but that was under different management . Management makes or breaks these teams and the bengals have had poor management for a long time .

They'll prob make the playoffs but Marvin will improve his incredible post season record to 0-8.

I think they will make the playoffs although they do have a tough schedule. I'm looking forward to football since the Reds are already out.
