History is about to repeat (almost)

I smell a Super Bowl re-match.  We all know the moves the Bengals have made to improve and we expect them to be more heathy next year.  Both teams lost their starting QBs in 2018. Both teams had problems at LB.  The Bengals re-signed Preston Brown while the Niners added 25 year-old Pro Bowler Kwon Alexander and 28 year-old Pro Bowler Dee Ford.

Despite only winning 4 games last year the Niners had the #16 offense and #13 defense.  They also still have the #3 pick in the draft to improve their team.  I think they are going to be the surprise team in the NFL this year.

So the early season match up could be a Super Bowl preview.

We also played SF during the 1980 regular season and we will again this year. That only happens once every 4 years.
