Cincinnati Bengals - #27

Cincinnati Bengals offense last year:

Last in yards
Last in points
Last in passing yards

They were just horrible. It is pretty simple. However, this upcoming year, they have a healthy Carson Palmer. He hasn't been the same since his knee was destroyed in the 2006 playoffs, but have hope Bengals fans. Laveranues Coles comes over from the Jets and provides a nice speedy veteran out of the backfield. He'll certainly miss T.J. Housh-man-whateva, but for all the negative press he gets from his attitude, Chad Ochocinco (yes, that's his name on the Bengals website) will be a solid target. Andre Smith should be great for blocking. It all sounds very nice and promising until we view the schedule.

That schedule seems downright harsh. There are six winnable games on that schedule as far as it looks on the surface.

6 - 10 with a hope for that random win in there. Good luck Bengals.
