HOF dan Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 https://www.bengals.com/news/know-the-foe-bengals-opponents-offer-something-old-something-new-in-22 I was reading Hobson's latest this morning that covers next year's opponents. We have a tough freakin schedule next year! I'm sure the opponents were released earlier somewhere - but - looking at it today hit home. The only, maybe, easy games are the Jets (who beat us last year) and the Panthers. I know we crushed Pittsburgh twice last year but I'm conditioned to have concern when we play them - still. Not that this team isn't better than all of them - just a big hill to climb next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the fact that we will be the hunted instead of the hunter, i.e. teams not looking past us. So used to being the underdog, this will be weird.

Jamie_B Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Really? I thought the schedule looked easier than this years. Let's go through it, in my waaaaaayyyyyy to early we don't even know what our team will look like because we havent had an offseason yet prediction. Ravens 2xs - I know one of the times they were beat up but the other they weren't. We can win both, but split at worst. Steelers 2xs - Unless they find a QB in the offseason, we win both Browns 2xs - Joe is going to figure this team out, we spit at worst. Bills - one of the top teams in the AFC, could go either way Chiefs @PBS - could go either way, but they have never won @PBS Dolphins - makings of a trap game imho as they are better than their record, but we are a better team - W Falcons - Not a good team, we win Panthers - Another mess of a team, we win Patriots - Playoff team, but I'm not sold on Mac Jones as anything more than an above average game manager. Win but could go the other way too. Saints - Another mess of a team, going to be alot of turnover there because of their cap situation and a new coach - W Jets - We won't fall into that trap again - W Bucks - Who is their QB now? - W Dallas - I think we are better, but that could go either way Titans - Another that could go either way So I have us at 9 wins at worse, but maybe even up to 13 and taking the playoffs through the Jungle. Of course alot has to happen for 13 wins in the offseason and during the season, but I don't think it's out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Agree w/ Jamie - drawing the NFC South next year helps a ton. That division is down significantly, and now Brady retired to boot. And AFC east is not a bad common draw either. Given we have to play first place teams otherwise out of division, at least the common opponents are not brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griever Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I like threads like this, the perceived difficulty tends to ebb and flow after FA, draft, schedule release, and preseason. Will be interesting to revisit this after each of these checkpoints. At first glance I feel like this may actually be lighter than last year even with a 1st place schedule.

Have no idea what teams may rise or fall till game 1.. there are some espn hot names on there, like cowboys and bills and KC again and titans were #1 seed, so i get why there some perceived tough games. but our division sucks, the steelers unless they pulled a great QB are in shambles, the browns are really good when playing perfect, which they do 5 times a year, and the ravens, lamar isnt scary, and it seems they have a hard time stopping joe and jamarr. titans we would stomp if joe has time. bills and KC will be tough games. cowboys either beat us by 30 or lose to us by 40, who ever knows with that team. aside from that.. just a buncha nfl teams like ever year. 4 minutes ago, Griever said: I like threads like this, the perceived difficulty tends to ebb and flow after FA, draft, schedule release, and preseason.

-GoBengals- Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 so now there are: 32 MNF games in regular season 16 SNF 16 TNF and 2 extra on thanksgiving so 18 so 66 "primetime" games per season, thats an average of 2+ per team. and we have fun young exciting players on both sides of the ball, and just went to the superbowl. anything shy of 3-4 primetime games is a crock of shit. sadly this fucks with my travel plans depending when/where those end up happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them all as priimetime matchups.. Aside from being a diehard Bengal fan you'd love to watch those matchups. Epitomy of intrigue.. Those are must see matchups.. For ratings and fan interest..
