How do you feel about Bengals through 2 preseason games?

It's hard to take much out of anything that goes on before the regular season begins.

Fortunately and unfortunately for the Bengals, that hasn't been the case. Training camp and two preseason games have provided far more ups and downs than you'll see most NFL teams go through. A lot of teams tend to rest starters and ease them into the regular season, whereas the Bengals have pushed their guys in hopes of keeping them sharp for the regular-season opener.

So far, the positives have included the emergence of Tyler Boyd, Cody Core and Alex Erickson at wide receiver. That position was, and still is to a degree, the biggest question mark heading into the new season. Replacing Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu is no easy task, but Boyd has easily been one of the best rookie receivers of any NFL team this preseason.

Core has been no slouch either, and those two have looked very good in camp and in two preseason games. It's not crazy to think the Bengals' rookie receiver duo will help offset the loss of Sanu and Jones in their first season in the NFL.

Another positive development this preseason has been the defensive line. Geno Atkins has looked like his All-Pro self, if not a hair better than he was last year. Carlos Dunlap looks primed for another double-digit sack season and Michael Johnson also looks like he's healthy and ready to go after last year's injury-hindered season.

On the negative end of things, the Bengals have lost far too many players to injury during camp and the preseason. Between Darqueze Dennard, Cedric Ogbuehi, Tyler Eifert, Jake Fisher, and Tyler Kroft, we could see three key players and/or their immediate backups miss Week 1. Brandon LaFell is also dealing with torn hand ligaments that could sideline him six weeks if he has surgery. As of now, it looks as though he'll attempt to play through the injury.

There's also the losses of William Jackson III and Andrew Billings who have potentially season-ending injuries. Losing two of your top four draft picks is never good, not to mention Jackson could have be in line for a big role in this defense due anks to Dennard's injury. The hope is Jackson will return by the middle of the season, though, the reality of that remains to be seen.

So, has your view on the Bengals changed over the past month? How do you think they'll do in the 2016 regular-season and how will the developments from the summer impact their performance?
