Are We A Contender Now?!

[SladeX]

I am excited to see what the new HC and his regime bring to the table. Not nervous, not worried about his experience level (although the Spectre of Dave Shula will always be with us, lol), not apprehensive about a younger staff. Just ready for the DC to be named, FA to begin, etc. This is the most I've looked forward to an off-season in many years, if fir no other reason than it will be different. Most of it is the coach, but some of it is the moves attempted last off-season, which were also out of the Bengals box. So how about we embrace the change and look forward to the off-season?
As to the original question.
As of 2/8/19, ummm, no we are not a contender. But I'm looking forward to the off-season to see how things unfold. Squad changes, recovery from injury (which is not a given,btw)
