Hi Geoff, In looking through our stacked roster along with the easier schedule coming from an "off" year, I can't help but feel the Bengals will get back to the playoffs and win at least one game *this* year. Yet, when I see power rankings and most talented roster rankings, etc., the Bengals seem to be flying under the radar, which may actually be a good thing. Still, I think they have a decent shot at beating the Patriots or anyone else in the AFC.
You've said a number of times that how well the season turns out will come down to how well the offensive line plays.
