Are We A Contender Now?!

[kevin]

Are We In Super Bowl ? Then we aren't contenders NOW. As in NOW. Lets get the new coaches in here. That means new playbooks. New team concept. Players kept and new players have to be the solution, not the problem. If they are the problem, you terminate them. Even at that, Bengals will still be in tough division with Ravens, Steelers, up and coming Browns. This means a lot of Hard Work in Practice and Motivation way before first snap from center at start of regular season. So a lot of hard work before September.

Are Bengals Contenders Now ? No, they are a Last Place team. Do not show up in camp like they just won Super Bowl. They are a Last Place Team. Use that to hit camp and get angry, get determined to be better. Being a contender depends upon how hard these coaches and players go at it the next 7 months and then the 5 months of season.

Bengals are pretty bad, so the rebuilding might take a couple years. When Paul Brown became coach of Bengals he said not to expect much the first 5 years. You have to give a new coach a few years to build HIS system, HIS type players. However in today's NFL, Bengals could be in thick of things in 2019. Much work to be done to make that happen though. Bengals can't block or tackle and have no Team Spirit. That all has to change before winning can ever be accomplished. As per Knute Rockne, and it is still true. Block, Tackle, Team Spirit are the Basics Of Winning. The Bengals need a 180 degree turn around in these areas. The new coaches are coming on to a very bad team over the last 3 years, and that's not even open for debate. Last Place is Last Place. Even Cleveland has moved out in front and is ahead of us in rebuilding.
