Why the Bengals are going to tear shit up

Now I know that we haven't really posted anything lately, but there hasn't been anything going on. So sorry to you 'loyal' followers. So here's some filler with a prediction of the team before they even put pads on.

The Cincinnati Bengals are going to destroy next year. We have a favorable schedule (Although on paper it looks tough), the team has done nothing but get better, absolutely no team turmoil, and Mike Zimmer.

The Schedule does look really tough because of not only our division, but also because we're facing off against the Colts, Chargers, and Saints. However, the schedule still lines up well. We get to face off against the Patriots in week 1, and there is a report that Wes Welker might still be put on the PUP list. That would make it much easier to focus on Randy Moss and shut him down. Our Monday Night game against the Steelers is at home, so hopefully Paul Brown Stadium can give the team an advantage. We have to play against 2 high flying offenses in the Saints and Chargers, but they are both home games in December, so the cold weather would be able to slow them down. Then, if the Ravens are as good as they are supposed to be, there is a possible division deciding game for the last week of the season.

The team is returning 20 of 22 starters this year, and the only players not returning are Laveranues Coles, who was a major disappointment last year, and whichever TE was starting on a given week.. Then we only upgraded by adding Antonio Bryant. In the draft, the team drafted Jermaine Gresham who might not put up gaudy number, but he will add an extra dimension and threat to the offense.

Also, you see stories around the league about players holding out for more money and most of these players are on top or rising teams such as Darrelle Revis, Nick Mangold, Vincent Jackson, Robert Mathis, Reggie Wayne, Chris Johnson. The Bengals have NO players that have held out or were planning to and that is surprising considering there are players who definitely deserve and new contract. Although it is tough for these players. They now have to wait another year to buy an island for their sons.

Of course though, the majority of the teams' success comes down to one man, Mike Zimmer. If it wasn't for him, I don't think there is a chance the team would be where they are today. He brings fire and passion. He has led the defense to a top 5 ranking and even now, the offense gets to practice against them, improving them even if they don't know it.

So yeah, we're hot, and they're all diddly squat. See whatever poor NFC team in the superbowl.
