What do you think their record will be for the upcoming season? Iw as looking at their schedule the other day and I saw 3 losses. Pats, 1 of the Ravens games, and a screwed up game some where (Seattle, or Kansas City even though I think they should win those).
So I see us going 13-3 or 12-4.

Honestly, I could see 13-3, 12-4, 14-2, 11-5. You're right, I only see possible losses to the Pats, one Baltimore, maybe San Fran, maybe Seattle (depending if Alexander is back to form), big maybe on Kansas City. Any team can be about any team any given Sunday though, that's why they play the game.

However, assuming that Palmer can really be back to '05 form, the Bengals will come out firing every game but will be able to establish stability with Rudi- force teams to respect it. That's assuming that whoever steps in to take Henry's spot for the first 8 can at least give Palmer a target. Marvin Lewis is a defensive-minded coach, and we finally have some defensive players. While the defense may not be great, I think it will be good enough for the offense to take us places.
