vettespd20 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 I know its way to early to tell but I would say 11 wins Quote
skyline Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 I'll go for 10.They've definitely improved, and I expect them to be better than 8-8. Still, they aren't going to be a dominant force just yet. Quote
sodikart Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 I'll go for 10 also. Before free agency and the draft I would have gone for more but the Vikings and other teams look to have improved. So I will go for 10 but I hope for more. Quote
bengalboy Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 We drafted some guys that I think can tackle. That should be worth at least two more wins. FU Corey. Quote
BC Bengal Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 The list doesn't go up to 23?4 Preseason games16 regular season games &3 playoff games=23 wins Quote
AGrizzlyBaer Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 we have to go at least 4-2 in the division Quote
TJJackson Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Luck plays a big hand, particularly through key injuries.I think best case is 10-6, and worst is probably 6-10. So I voted 8-8 Quote
jjakq27 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 9-7 and they get one of the two wild cards in the AFC. Quote
TJJackson Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 8-8 was good enough in some situations in the NFC last year, but in a division with Pittsburgh and Baltimore, 9-7 may not get us into the playoffs....heck, is some years, 10-6 teams don't make the cut. Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 I've been saying 11 since the end of last season. No reason to change that pick now. Quote
Indycat Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 The list doesn't go up to 23?4 Preseason games16 regular season games &3 playoff games=23 wins I didn't think about the pre season, but I was thinking 19.I don't see anyone on the schedule we can't beat and I'm not willing to concede a loss before playing the games.

bengalsfan33 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 I said 10 wins. I think the Ravens will dominate the division, Steelers will have an off year, and the Browns will suck!Bengals will get in as a wild card! Quote
vettespd20 Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Posted April 27, 2005 We all have to agree that its going to be a fun season. With palmer getting more time under his belt, and a lot of these young guys getting more mature. I think we had a good draft selection, and some good early free agent signings. Lets keep it rolling Quote
brian5562 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 I said 10 wins. I think the Ravens will dominate the division, Steelers will have an off year, and the Browns will suck!Bengals will get in as a wild card! With all due respect what makes the Ravens so good? Their touchdown maker is in jail right now, Boller sucks, Ray Ray ain't the same, and Billick is an ass. I don't get why people think they are that good. They were 9-7 last year and what did they do over the offseason that makes them improved? Quote

bengalboy40 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 the only games i see us losing are at detroit, pittsburgh and jacksonville. we've got a much easier schedule than last season...i'm sayin 12-4, b/c we will prolly lose a game to cleveland just b/c we do that...we lose to cleveland every year. they suck. i hate cleveland. hate hate hate. Quote
bengalindian Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 I think the Bengals are gonna go 3-3 in the division, but will get the wild card because Cleveland will upset Baltimore or Pittsburgh, or both. And then they'll easily run the AFC playoffs and get to the Super Bowl, because they're sweet like that. Quote
chrishcovga Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 We Will Not Lose To Cleveland This Year !We will however split against Pitt and Baltimore going 4-2 in the Division.Wins over Indy,GreenBay,Detroit,Chicago,Kansas City,Houston,Tennessee,Balt.,Pitts.,Cleveland twice = 11Losses to Baltimore in Baltimore, in Pittsburgh, in Jacksonville,Buffalo, and home with Minnesota.* I don't see us losing to the Colts at home in November, on grass !! We'll make the playoffs, Pittsburgh will be the third place team this year. Baltimore will be a runner up to us this year. Cleveland will be at the top of the draft boards again next year ! We will host a home playoff game, but will have to travel in the Division game, where our season will end. Final record, 12 and 6. Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 I'm sticking with 8 wins for now. I can see them going as high as 12 if everything goes perfectly...but it rarely does. Carson Palmer -- he of the 12 NFL starts -- still has a lot of growing up (and screwing up) to do. Pollack and Odell (if Thurman even makes it onto the field ahead of Landon and possibly Webster) are great talents but also rookies, and will almost certainly get burned as often as they make plays. And other than them the D is virtually the same as last year's pedestrian unit.The schedule does indeed look easier than last year's -- a plus. But two points: first, last year can be decieving. Everyone here that thought SD was going to the playoffs last year, raise your hand. Second, as far as the division is concerned, Pitt, Baltimore and Cleveburg play almost the same sked. Whatever teams end up to be bums, it's likely they'll get the same chance to beat up on them as we do.In the end, it's going to come down to the division, as usual. And I don't think we've done enough to leapfrog the Steelers and Ravens. Here's hoping I'm wrong. :player: Quote
