A Sleeping Giant

Yesterday's victory was a gift and a curse.  It feels great to see Baker get humiliated and send Kitchens out the door.  It's nice to see Mixon stepping up as a leader/producer.  That's not enough though. 

Bengal fans are fooling themselves if they think that this is even close to a complete roster even with a couple of high draft picks.  Last year should serve as a reminder that those guys can't always be depended on, much like free agents.  

There is work to be done and a lot of it.  The question is whether the front office is going to be serious or if they'll just sit at home jacking their little weenuses during FA like they normally prefer to.  The new league year will be telling with regard to whether anything has changed with the new staff.  

They've been rewarded for sucking with the ability to draft a guy that will at the very least get fans excited about 2020.  He might even be as good as we think he is.  Will they Bungle it by leaning on Burrow to be the difference between 2019 and 2020, or will they give him a chance and build a legit roster?  Time will tell.

Shhhhhhhh!!!!

Don't poke the sleeping bear...
