Mixon would have got the first down, guess they were saving him

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Bengals +4.5

U 48

various parlays. 

hit 5 props. 
 

what a game.  

 

[CGRdrJoe]

What a limp **** ending that was 

seriously? a team had the ball with a shot to tie or win and that is limp ****? gtfoh 

 

[Desert_Power]

Amazing game. So happy for Stafford!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Gratz Rams fan(s?) 

 

 

[ProstheticRGK]

This game was ok. But, honestly, I feel like the NFL is going the way of the WWE, with the penalties at the end of the Rams’ drive. 

 

[GroveDiesel]

Burrow held it too long

Hard to tell. If his first read was covered, that’s all he had time for. LA’s D-line won this game.

 

[Cjw_55106]

Switching to Netflix.  Game shouldn't have ended that way

Well, the game is over. I mean, nothing wrong with Netflix, but don’t act like you are a martyr.

Mixon would have got the first down, guess they were saving him

Yeah I don’t get that. I would have given it to him twice. 
Great game though. 

 

[modogg]

yuck, felt like a crappy Super Bowl because of the Rams drive. just feel gross like we got robbed of an actual game. Don't know how the Rams can feel good about that

 

[JaxBill]

Mixon would have got the first down, guess they were saving him

MacPherson would have made it from 65 too

 

[travdogg]

Congrats to Rams fans, and major props to mcvay. He out coached Taylor and that was the difference.

Honestly, this Rams team probably wasn't a top-5 team this season, but mcvay (and some lucky breaks, especially against SF) carried them. 

**** vermiel just went into the HOF, but Sean mcvay is the best coach the Rams have ever had.

 

[Ilov80s]

seriously? a team had the ball with a shot to tie or win and that is limp ****? gtfoh 

And one of the best players of all time came up with the game winning play

 

[-OZ-]

Hey, LA had 30 minutes to get 4 points to tie. They couldn't get it done without the refs.

  Cincy has no credibility blaming refs here

 

[Pip's Invitation]

This game was ok. But, honestly, I feel like the NFL is going the way of the WWE, with the penalties at the end of the Rams’ drive. 

Only the hold on Wilson was questionable. The others were legit.

I went hoarse, thought it was an awesome ending

Yup, completely went from a 100% organic game and absolutely went the other way with that call.

QBs who were overall #1 draft picks and won the Super Bowl:

Terry Bradshaw (1970) – Won Super Bowl IX, X, XIII, XIV

Jim Plunkett (1971) – Won Super Bowl XV, XVIII

John Elway (1983) – Won Super Bowl XXXII, XXXIII

Troy Aikman (1989) – Won Super Bowl XXVII, XXVIII, XXX

Drew Bledsoe (1993) – Won Super Bowl XXXVI (backup)

Peyton Manning (1998) – Won Super Bowl XLI, 50

David Carr (2002) – Won Super Bowl XLVI (backup)

Eli Manning (2004) – Won Super Bowl XLII, XLVI

One more for the list.

Ridiculous take imo 

great game. 

 

[Truebluey]

Pretty anticlimactic 

Are you kidding? 

 

[sports_fan]

Disappointed but what a game. I thought Burrow had a chance on that last throw too even with Donald spinning him around 

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

I thought it was a good game. Was pulling for Cincy but great win for LA. 

Gratz Rams fans.

 

[Major]

Happy for Stafford but still want to punch McVay in the face

 

[Mile High]

Just amazing effort by Donald

Yeah they probably said all week we can't let 99 beat us.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Only the hold on Wilson was questionable. The others were legit. 

I’d have to see the replay on the offsetting unnecessary roughness, but it looked like they were trying to nullify the hold.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I was rooting for the Bengals but I love the hater posts saying that the Refs decided this game.  Did you not see the first play of the 2nd half?  

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

That holding call was make up for the missed face mask.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Thanks for not having gray championship caps!

 

[Tha Guru]

The NFL got the outcome they wanted.  The stadium will still be 50/50

 

[massraider]

Good for Stafford.

Some fans should maybe just watch Madden 98 video game replays instead of real football. Game ends in a 4th down stand, and people are disappointed. Ha

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I’d like to thank the refs for allowing me to enjoy the game before they ruined it at the end. 

 

[Cjw_55106]

I’d have to see the replay on the offsetting unnecessary roughness, but it looked like they were trying to nullify the hold.

I think it was a pretty clear helmet to helmet hit on Kupp

 

[dickey moe]

If Mixon wasn't hurt I don't understand why the Bengals didn't utilize him on that final drive. 

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Yup, completely went from a 100% organic game and absolutely went the other way with that call.

What call?

 

[travdogg]

Really really hope Donald doesn't retire. In my opinion, he's another year or two at this level, of being the best defensive player in NFL history(better than deion, LT, lewis, anybody) and maybe 3-4 from being the Jerry Rice (the goat in my opinion) of defense.

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

I’d have to see the replay on the offsetting unnecessary roughness, but it looked like they were trying to nullify the hold.

it was definitely head to head on kupp

 

[BobbyLayne]

100% organic game

Exhibit A

 

[JohnnyU]

I hate the refs too involved at the end but the Bengals were holding like crazy on the Rams last drive.

sorry Richie and Shawn, Rest In Peace my friends.

 

[The Duff Man]

Curious how many other teams follow suit with trading away their future picks and bringing in rental players for a ring. 
This happens a lot in other sports but the NFL has mostly resisted this strategy. 

 

[jon_mx]

What call?

The worst call in the game was the non-call on the face mask, offensive interference TD play. 

 

[towney]

Well  mattress Mack can't be to happy with his 9.5 mil $ loss.

 

[fred_1_15301]

What call?

It’s amazing to see all the whining.  There was a couple controversial calls (non-calls) against both teams.

 

[Major]

Good for Stafford.

Some fans should maybe just watch Madden 98 video game replays instead of real football. Game ends in a 4th down stand, and people are disappointed. Ha

Yeah, I think the average fan got a little spoiled with all these comebacks in the playoffs.  It was nice to actually see some defense under 2 minutes. 

 

[massraider]

Exhibit A

The end.

 

[beef]

to the refs for calling a perfect game.  

 

[dkp993]

World Champs!!!!!!!!!!

I have the adrenaline shakes.  So ####### awesome.  

 

[massraider]

Someone please check Whitworth blood pressure. Looks like he gonna pop

 

[bostonfred]

Well, the game is over. I mean, nothing wrong with Netflix, but don’t act like you are a martyr.

I usually watch the ceremonies and I have been a Stafford fan for years but for a game with so few flags to end that way just not great.   Maybe those were the first close calls all game... that's the only way it makes sense for a close call to be made late in a game in those situations. I had no money or rooting interest except i hate kroenke so this isn't really sour grapes, but this ending hurt the NFL. 

 

[ProstheticRGK]

I think it was a pretty clear helmet to helmet hit on Kupp

OK, I’ll take your word for it. I only saw it bang-bang and it looked ticky tack.

I thought the refs did a good job most of the game staying out of the way. So, that ending seemed really jarringly out of place and intrusive. Could be I’m overreacting. 

 

[identikit]

So  Stafford the MVP?
