LAR pounded the rock because they have a good O-Line, something the Bengals need to fix over the next two seasons.

Lets not put a mantle on them they had 100 penalties on season to 113 for us,  less than 1 a game difference we actually caused 10 more penalties than the rams.  

I really wish we could get a left tackle like the rams has. Guy is a stud and a leader. If you have a guy like that you give him what he wants.

Whit fixed their O-line.

Marvin was the "architect" of the greatest defense ever and was already respected in the league. A lot of people thought he was capable of turning around Cincinnati, which he obviously did. His hiring was perceived well back then.

The narrative is already being started that Taylor is only getting looks because he works with McVay. Not saying Taylor getting a ring is do or die for his next chapter, but I think having a ring would help build clout for his new team and command respect easily vs a guy coming in that is an unknown and only has "turned around Jared Goff on his resume".

Bengals will benefit heavily from having a McVay influence in their scheme next year as most of the talent is already in place with Mixon, Gio, AJ, Boyd, Ross. Bringing back one of or both Uzomah & Kroft is important as well.

But as already mentioned Bengals will need to heavily invest in OL or find better solutions. An OL can be elevated based off the scheme too. Rams OL isn't loaded but destroyed that Dallas defense all night.

Believe it was already announced that Bienemy is officially not leaving the Chiefs. He’s not an option at this point.

Can he bring Rodger Saffold with him as a free agent?

If Taylor brings even half of this intensity with him what a breath of fresh air it will be.

You guys are gettin' me all tingly!

Well whatever they do and whoever actually gets the job it's going to be interesting. There are absolutely zero guarantees that anything at all is going to go the way we hope.
If it's Taylor is the HC he'll be making a HUGE jump with very little to say he can be a successful HC. Coaching the QB is NOT the same thing as coaching an entire team and we as fans will have to decide what we're comfortable with as growing pains. Suppose we only win 6 next year. How about 5, 4 or less? 
Under Lewis this team has been amazingly almost successful.. I'm not sure anyone has ever been so amazingly almost successful as Lewis was..
Amazingly almost successful should be our new team motto.

Something people need to remember when watching these teams, LA and KC, is that they can assemble all of that talent because they are paying their QB's on rookie deals. As soon as deal #2 hits, both will have to unload to afford them.....

It will be even worse for the Rams sine they are already paying Aaron Danold. They will have a whole lot of their payroll tied up in 2 players

Agree. We need new life. These past few years has beaten us up pretty badly. A new approach and attitude towards winning is going to be fun to watch.

Kroenke will spend whatever he has to, to keep this Team together. He figures he can make it in the back end, by leasing retail space in his stadium/development.

With the Rams and Chargers success this year, LA is greased and primed for the taking.

This is the main one that jumped out to me. 

Btw, I wonder if the Bengals asked Whit what he thought of Taylor?
