Closing Arguments 

The offensive line is at worst equal to last year talent wise, with the ability to be improved by scheme. The team as a whole was historically banged up last year. The depth has been improved  in case that happens again. The schedule is easier, the division rivals all have their own issues, and nobody really knows what kind of offense is going to come out of the minds of Taylor and Callahan.

In short, Cincinnati at least made an effort to address all their issues from last year. That might not make them contenders right now, but it does make them better, and it certainly does not make them worse.
