I think that was a false bill of goods. I don't think Taylor knows much more than copying the Rams playbook...which he likely had no hand in creating as the Assistant WR Coach then QB Coach.
Yeah, I agree. I don't see Taylor as much more than a coat tail riding dweeb who is still in way over his head.
The second game against Pittsburgh shows us that Taylor have nothing to offer in the way of innovation.
The defensive scheme is finally reflecting the skills of the top players. They clearly changed up on the DL scheme.
Accidents happen and yesterday's win is nothing more than accident until they show they can do well against a decent team.

There is only one way to change that number....and it isn't just drafting a QB. They have to sign about 4-5 quality FA. Not re-treads, not bargain basement guys, but sign some real solid players to replace the turds you drafted at LB, G, and RT.
Agree
Mike Brown gives us another ho hum off season Joe Burrow or not that stadium will be a ghost town next season.
He's got to make some major moves if he wants to actually put "some butts in seats". And even then there's a ton of people who feel they've been burnt one to many times with the typical window dressing stuff.
MB is gonna have to go big or go home. Like you say real top tier free agents, 3 or 4 of em. Trade some players for picks. Get rid of some of the dead wood. There's a lot of work to do.
He sits on hid hands again........

Absolutely agree. He is going to have a difficult time landing top free agents even if he wants to. Guys with options generally don't choose to come here. I am having an extremely hard time believing that he is going to suddenly change his stripes and begin to run the team any differently. All we can do is sit, wait, and hope.

Even if he were to spend to cash, why would a free agent come in? Everything else about the organization is notoriously cheap. Everything from the facilities to the food is bottom of the barrel by NFL standards. The organization, top to bottom needs a total overhaul.

The only way to get quality free agents is by getting a new head coach with credibility to attract top players.
Any FA who comes to current organization will not be top tier and we will have to seriously overpay.
Thus- don't expect any changes for 2020.

100% true and 100% not going to happen. Nothing moves the Tree Sloth from his business model.

The Brown family still gets a buttload of money from TV revenue and league profit sharing. Fans in the stands used to count way back when, but now it's just a tax write off at best..

Ah, so that's why the PBS gameday experience seems like a trip to H&R Block.

The family probably thought so.
Dehner mentioned that a small reason for the Cordy Glenn trade was to reinvigorate season ticket sales.

The Inbreds are actually stupid enough to believe that trade would put people in the stands.

So that is why I heard Banjos playing in the background when Cordy was being introduced after the Trade.

I would say that on the board there were a lot of people that were excited by the Glenn trade and they were talking about how the Bengals were doing things that they rarely do.
Lets face it, it doesn't take much for this fan base to get excited. The draft gives hope every year.

The draft only gives hope to the teams that are always losers.
My brother is a Seahawks fan but he does not even follow the draft. He just says "I know they draft well and I don't really care about new players until they get on the field".

I was there in section 108. Niece bought me tickets for my birthday.
I'd be surprised if 20k showed up. Upper decks were almost empty and our lower section had many open seats
My first game.
Have to say I enjoyed watching at home more. Concession prices were absolutely ridiculous costing almost 12 bucks for a hot dog and a pepsi.
I'll never go back

Or maybe your brother's just a casual, fairweather, front-runner... That wasn't meant to be insulting in any way. Some people are just more casual fans.

Need to start tarping off sections of the upper deck like the Jaguars and Raiders do.
