Cincinnati Bengals 2007 Predictions
Here's how I believe this disappointing 8-8 season will play out:
- Sep 10, Baltimore Ravens, Loss (by 7).
- Sep 16, at Cleveland Browns, Win (by 12).
- Sep 23, at Seattle Seahawks, Loss (by 14).
- Oct 1, New England Patriots, Loss (by 17).
- Oct 14, Kansas City Chiefs, Win (by 3).
- Oct 21, New York Jets, Win (by 7).
- Oct 28, Pittsburgh Steelers, Loss (by 12).
- Nov 4, at Buffalo Bills, Win (by 12).
- Nov 11, at Baltimore Ravens, Loss (by 4).
- Nov 18, Arizona Cardinals, Win (by 10).
- Nov 25, Tennessee Titans, Loss (by 7).
- Dec 2, at Pittsburgh Steelers, Loss (by 17).
- Dec 9, St. Louis Rams, Loss (by 13).
- Dec 15, at San Francisco 49ers, Win (by 2).
- Dec 23, Cleveland Browns, Win (by 14).
- Dec 30, at Miami Dolphins, Win (by 3).
Hopefully I'm wrong, and the Bengals will make the playoffs, but I don't see it happening. Not until the Bengals draft (or trade for) a pair of quality defensive players (who can stay out of trouble) will this team have a legitimate opportunity to play beyond December.
Little has been done to replace Pollock (lost to injury) and Kaesviharn. Until those impactful defensive players are replaced, all the load falls to Palmer and the Johnsons; that's a heavy load for any trio to bear in the NFL. Only time will tell if the burden is, indeed, too great.
