2010 Season Outlook
Season Outlook.png
Welcome to the first annual OCNN NFL Season Outlook.
Here, we will look ahead in our crystal ball to see what the future holds for the NFL fans and it's teams. We will also take a look at the upcoming 2011 NFL draft which is said to include the best QB class since 1983.
2010 SEASON PREDICTIONS
BENGALS
Firstly, being biased and taking a look at the Bengals.
Here at OCNN we would like to wish and hope that the Bengals can at least make the playoffs this year, but with each game they play, it seems more and more unlikely.
The decision to trade QB Carson Palmer doesn't seem to help either, as he has the Seahawks at the top of their division since 2007. The Bengals are struggling with rookie QB Adam Tucker, with him completing just 48% of his passes. We may seem a little harsh with our criticism since he is in his first year of NFL play, however, he has big expectations filling in for former first overall pick Palmer.
The rest of the team is to blame, aswell, with Cedric Benson being inconsistent, and his backup Bernard Scott seemingly doing a better job. Apply that, along with an inconsistent defense and you have the makings of another bad year for the fans of Cincinnati.

It may be early just yet, but we couldn't wait to dive right into predicting the season's outcome.

There hasn't been any standout DT this year, although Alain Jackson has impressed some within the league with his strength. It seems like 1983 all over again, with three fantastic first round QBs that will most likely be taken within the top ten picks.
