Rams fans probably felt the same way before they hired McVay and made a couple FA signings. They were coming off a 4-12 record. Hadn't had a winning season since 2003. They had the 32nd ranked offense in yards and points. Looked like they had a ton of holes.
Insert McVay and Whitworth, and bam...they're an 11-5 team. 2 years (and a few more additions) later, Super Bowl.
Now I'm not saying to expect that, but if Taylor is a great coach, it can happen. Great coaching just seems to magically make some holes disappear. We do have the offensive weaponry to score in bunches if they address the line and Taylor has some great schemes.
Nevermind that Del Rio would be a MASSIVE upgrade over the DC mess we had last year.

Stan Kroenke owns the Rams, the Boston Red Sox and Arsenal in the EPL.

Dang I wish I could afford to go see that game.
RE: London Bound - michaelsean - 01-22-2019
Good news for the 20 or 30 Bengals fans in the UK.

Might try to make this one a father, son, and grandson trip.

I know that but he’s not really tried to become a public figure over here in the way Khan has with trying to buy Wembley and just being in the public eye.

I hate these stupid international games. Watching NFL games at 9 am is just dumb
RE: London Bound - ochocincos - 01-22-2019
Very tempted to go to that game. I absolutely loved London when I went there back in 2004. I think I'll wait and see what the actual date of the game is though.

IIRC, one of the London games this past season was a night game over there, so it started around "normal" time as the 1:00 PM EST games? They might end up doing this for the Bengals game since they are playing against the Rams, a west coast team?

Kroenke doesn't own the Red Sox. The Fenway group that does (John Henry) also owns Liverpool FC of the EPL. He does also own (Via his wife) the Nuggets (NBA) and Avalanche (NHL).

So head over to London and watch the game in the afternoon.

Should insist on games played at McMurdo Station on Ross Island, Antarctica. I'm guessing it might put the freezer bowl to shame..

Nah, that would just give Dan Fouts yet another cold weather game to ***** about.
RE: London Bound - SladeX - 01-23-2019
During the abysmal 2002 season, i started watching the EPL. After a couple of seasons settled on Tottenham Hotspur. Somewhat of a kindred spirit to the Bengals, in my mind. Here it is 15 years later and they have built a state ofvthe art stadium, with a contract for 2 NFL games a year. The soccer field retracts, and the football field is underneath. They can play
an epl game on Saturday, the do an NFL game Sunday. Damn I wish this was a couple of years later! Would be a great trip! Maybe there will be a contest i can win and take my grandson ....

Lol. Great sausages. Being outdoors is advisable for the amazing after effect.. .
RE: London Bound - BoomerFan - 01-23-2019
Randy and Clark need a super choppy field somewhere to start practicing for this ahead of time. Kicking there is just brutal.
