"We will be good," the Cincinnati Bengals receiver said earlier this summer. "It's not a guarantee or anything like that, but we will be good. You watch." I'm watching. I also think he's right. They have Carson Palmer back and they have a defense that finished 12th in the league last season. Yeah, but they're the Bengals, you say? This group is better than what we've come to expect from the Bengals. But there are two big hurdles that could make any improvement a moot point: The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals will be better in 2009, but they also have the unfortunate task of playing in the same AFC North division with the two teams who played in the AFC Championship Game last season. One of those, the Steelers, went on to win the Super Bowl. If Cincinnati is to be a playoff team, they'll likely have to move past one of those two. Good luck.Full AFC North preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 They won't be better this year. Baltimore gotten better and Steelers are the retaining Super Bowl Champs. I see you guys going more like 6-10 or something. No way your making any noise for wild card unless something crazy happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well we went 4-11-1 with Ryan Fitzpatrick and injuries. We are getting a healthy Palmer back with a better oline, and a #12 ranked defense last year. I see us going 8-8 at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I would love to see this team do well. I've always like Chad Ochocinco so I hope you guys will be in the hunt but the chances are slim. I'm also interested to see how Palmer does now since he's healthy.

fly3rs18 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 this team really didnt improve too much from last year. they are no where close to the level of the steelers, ravens, colts, jets, pats, and probably not even the chargers, texans, dolphins, and titans. so that leaves the bengals at 10th, and the broncos and bills are possibly even ahead of them, moving the bengals down to 12th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 As long as they play defense. I love their offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
