The team was the 8th worse team in the whole league, which means they get the 8th pick in this year’s draft. Things went from bad to worse when Steve McNair announced his retirement, meaning Kyle Boller is back in the starting lineup and will likely get another shot at leading the team to victory. The team has only added two new faces in LB Brendon Ayanbadejo and CB Frank Walker....

They looked like a team that was just about to get things rolling, and then they went 7-9 in 2007 and finished behind the Cleveland Browns for 3rd in the AFC North. To add to the struggles the team best play maker in Chad Johnson doesn’t sound like he wants to play for the Bengals anymore. This would be a huge hit to a team that has to score to win games....

They tied the Steelers for the best record in the AFC North at 10-6, but wound up missing out because of a tiebreaker. That just goes to show how hard the AFC can be, as it seems its becoming more of regularity for a 10-6 team to miss out on the playoffs.

Things just didn’t seem to click as QB Marc Bulger threw 4 more interceptions than touchdowns, and RB Steven Jackson was no where near the numbers he is expected to put up. The defense wasn’t much to speak for either, as it finished in the bottom of the league in both pass and rush defense. The one bright spot out of all...

The team has made some improvements with the addition of WR Isaac Bruce, WR Bryant Johnson,...

The team did finish 10-6, but it was in the weak NFC West. They were able to beat Washington in the first round of the playoffs, but got man handled by the Packers in the second round. The team has went out and landed running backs T.J. Duckett and Julios Jones, meaning they are probably ready to part ways with Shawn Alexander. They did lose LB...
