I'm following their progress this year and their rookies. Probably in the next 3 years they will be a team to reckon with.

The Bengals have one of the worst ownerships IMO, I think they continue to waste away Carson Palmer's talent. Unless the Steelers and Baltimore take a major nose dive, I don't see them being successful.

When I worked in the league we played the Bengals and they were very hard to work with. They were disorganized and did things at the last minute thus causing a headache for all of us in stadium ops. I learned that for the most part, teams that had problems on the field had administrative issues off the field as well.
As much as I hate the Cowboys they ran an extremely professional organization and Jerry Jones was the ustmost professional.
