Super Bowl LVI - Bengals vs Rams - Discussion & GAME Thread (2 Viewers)

NFL certainly lucked out with such an amazing run of nail- biting finishes this post-season. 

So many close games. Can easily imagine the Bills in this game if not for... 

And does anyone really think the Bengals were going to stop Stafford to Kupp from the 7-yard line. Stop with the #####ing about the calls. The Bengals couldn't stop Kupp on that final drive, they need to look in the mirror. 

Mind you, noone could stop Kupp this season. That's why he's OPOY

 
Non-call results in Rams having idk how many drives over the half (what 7, or 8?) to find 4 points

Def holding call results in Cincy having one 2 minute drill to get down the field.

That seems fair to yall?

 
On another note I’m really glad Burrow didn’t tear his knee again. I was sure he had from the reaction. He’s fun to watch - I want more of Higgins, Chase & Co. 

 
Honestly confused why folks complaining about Rams last drive. There was a single soft penalty called, but Rams made the plays. The PI was absolutely the right call, and the personal foul should have taken precedence over a holding call. 

Given that the bengals went ahead on an absolute BS facemask that was missed.....no way anyone rooting for Bengals has  a leg to stand on complaining about officiating here.

Officials in general did a good job in the one I thought. One (very bad) missed call, and a soft one the other way in a key spot.

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


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.
HYPERBOLE!!!!!!

Donald is great but he’s not better than any of the three you mentioned.

I would take Vermeil over the Fallout Vault Guy.

I really can't stress enough how much Zac Taylor choked here. Called plays like they had a huge lead the last quarter+, then not just letting the Rams score and wasting time and a timeout, and then calling a terrible run play on 3rd and 1. 

Taylor did a pretty good job this year, but he went full Matt lafluer down the stretch there 

That hold on Wilson was bs, but that didn't lose the game, everything after did. I'm not sure the better team won, that's been the case in every game since the divisional round, but it is what it is 

 
If mixon isn’t hurt—the Bengals better fake an injury—as if he was healthy—I don’t see how the bengals could justify putting Perine in over him those last few plays. 

 
the player of the year caught the winning TD

from a 13 year veteran everyone was rooting for

and the game ended with the best defensive player in this millennium sacking the QB on 4th down 

And all these little girls crying the zebras 🦓 ruined their night
It's ridiculous. 

These were two flawed teams, they both left plenty of plays on the field.

Don't disagree. That was a bad missed call. 

 
BS...it wasn't on fourth down, it didnt extend a drive. And it was SOFT...not egregious bad call. way way way TOO much BEING MADE OF IT
I thought it was a little egregious.  
 

I don’t care that much, I hit all my bets. Honestly that saved the under, so congrats Rams. 

 
Well the mattress man can't be to happy with his 9.5 mil loss.
The opposite. He's ecstatic.

His furniture store had a promotion, if people buy $3k in furniture and the Bengals win, they get a full refund.

He bet $9m on the Bengals to offset the even greater amount he'd have had to pay out if they won.

He was cheering for the Rams.

 
What I don’t understand is if you’re going to run on 3rd down there, why Perone instead of Mixon? 

Mixon had a good game and you pull him in that situation?

That is not what I would have done, but Perine is their third down back and two-minute guy for some reason. Probably blocking. But trying to pick up that yard on a draw right into Aaron Donald's territory was so stupid. I throw up my hands. Can't figure it out. 

 
The only thing to maybe complain about is the last two Super Bowls have been bought

but that has nothing to do with the quality of the game

 
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. 


@ToddFuhrman: The Rams winning that elusive #SuperBowl with a philosophy of fu*k our draft picks fundamentally changes the way how NFL teams will do business moving forward in a copycat league
