The Bengals were coming off a year where some wholesale changes happened, a new offensive system was introduced for Ken Anderson. They were pretty dismal, finishing 4-12 in '80, but much like the '17 Bengals, they showed good improvement toward the end of the year.
The '81 Bengals came out with a new look and a new attitude, and rode the wave all the way to within 1 yard of winning Super Bowl XVI. I'm hoping for the same or better from the '18 Bengals.
This is our season for the taking if it gels. I almost feel the black cloud has started to move away from Cincinnati. This is going to be fun.
