Honestly I'm happy we don't play you guys twice a year. You have our number. I hope the Bengals have a great year next year.
I appreciate your optimism, but it really is up to Mike Brown on how far this team can go. There are severe holes at the OL and LB positions and without help from upper management, I believe these are unrealistic expectations for Taylor to save this team.
Don't get me wrong, I love our skill players, but without significant improvement in the above stated positions, other teams are going to continue to exploit the weaknesses of this team. Additionally, not signing Tyler Eifert will definitely make this team worse. If that guy ends up on a team who can use him in space and doesn't throw the high balls to him where he gets blasted everytime he catches it, watch out. I think he'd be amazing on a team like the Patriots.
Without a very solid draft and an aggressive free agency period, I wouldn't expect Taylor to work miracles. Every year we hope or expect things to be different. Will this be that year?
We'll know soon enough.
