Bengals
For instance, in 1988 the Boomer Esiason, Icky Woods led Bengals had one of the toughest schedules on paper before the season began. Yet they ended up going 12 and four, Esiason was named League MVP and the Bengals made it to the Super Bowl.

Now in 2010, the Palmer and Benson led Bengals, go into 2010 with more depth to the roster then that of the 1988 Bengals. We aren’t suggesting the Bengals will go 12 and four as the league has evolved significantly. But we are proposing the idea, that since the Bengals have depth a key injury may not be so key overall in depleting the team’s success.

For example, with such a difficult season on paper this year, which will see the Bengals facing some of the league’s best offenses in New England, Indianapolis and New Orleans, the Bengals defense having added depth will do wonders to the team’s overall success. Last season as many football fans will recall, the Bengals defense was ranked fourth overall but fell apart in the latter parts of the season due to injury. This year, the Bengals drafted enough defensive players that are NFL ready, that if an injury to a starter does occur they will be able to step in no problem.

The Bengals may have the hardest schedule on paper, but that is just added motivation for them.
