How do you feel about Zac Taylor? Seems the prevailing opinion is he’s probably holding the offense back from being even better than it can be. Are his ability to adjust underrated or is this more a credit to the DC there if you’re talking about defensive changes?

Rams have the better individual players, so it’s easy to name them the favorites. But Bengals seem to be playing more as a team and reaching their ceiling while the Rams remain inconsistent. Bengals should be underdogs, but this wouldn’t be an upset. They’re a good team playing their best ball right now. You don’t come out of the AFC by luck.

Zac is fine and he's consistent which is important. He's always trying to establish the run so they don't become predictable. I think given the state of the OL that all passing should be from the gun, the under-center passing plays need to go, especially against the Rams. They can re-visit that next season after we've hopefully signed 2-4 veteran OL.

The adjustments seem to be coming mostly from our DC Lou Anarumo. He's been masterful at it all season long.

I think they're doing the best they can with this patchwork OL. Elite DLs can take advantage of it and well every team we've played thus far in the playoffs has at least one elite pass rusher. I expect this game to look similar to the Titans game but I don't see us giving up 5+ sacks again and definitely not 9.

I'm wondering if the Rams are gonna put Ramsey on Chase and double Higgins or if they put him on Higgins and double Chase.

So this is gonna be a Tyler Boyd or CJ Uzomah game, sounds like. I’ve always loved Boyd’s game since before he came out of PITT. Nice that he gets to be part of this dynamic trio.

I’m rooting for that Cincy defense of misfits and cast offs. For all the flash of the offense, the defense has been the foundation to this playoff run. I hope they hold up for one more game.

Uzomah sprained his MCL against the Chiefs and was on crutches. Didn't tear anything but he might not play in the Super Bowl, which would really suck. His leadership is extremely contagious and he's a good receiving threat unlike his backup.

I think this will be Boyd's breakout game. He's been silent these whole playoffs as Chase and Higgins have taken turn doing the damage. Boyd is as good as it gets from slot WRs...I think he's the X-factor

Either Tyler Boyd or Donald will get a ring, so either or for me in this one. Even with it being the Bengals.

The Bengals can absolutely beat the Rams and they do have the better QB.

However, the Rams lost 5 games and they were to the Cardinals, Titans, Packers and Niners (twice).

Meanwhile, the Bengals lost 7 games. They were to the Bears, Packers, Jets, Chargers, Niners and Browns (twice).

I'm not completely sure the Rams should be the ones labeled "inconsistent".

Leave it to the NFL. Hamilton County wanted to host a Super Bowl watch party at Paul Brown Stadium and the NFL said nay.

Sam Hubbard gets it. Our timeline was all downhill after that.

And yes, this is a quote from a podcast.
