Super Bowl LVI: Bengals vs Rams (Game Day Thread)

[unseenaz]

He literally held him with both hands for a split second and impacted his route. I wouldn’t complain if they didn’t call it but the Ramsey one was 10x worse.

his hand was on his jersey. that's it. he wasn't pulling or pushing or grabbing. that's not PI

He clearly grabbed him with both hands out of Kupp’s break.

that's literally NOT what the video shows.

We went into this season knowing that the NFC West was the class of the NFL, and as it turns out, we were right. Three of our four teams made the playoffs. Though they each had stretches through the year (SF in early season, Rams in November, Cards in December) when they had trouble winning, no team in any division in the NFL could beat an NFC West team in the playoffs, except another NFC West team.

Got damn did that injury ruined our season. Crazy part is we're probably not throwing jump ball passes into the endzone at that time if not for the ints earlier or his drop in the redzone. Just sucks.

what are you, a rams fan? how about the defensive holding that SHOULDA been a false start on the rams that was never called?

This seems like a simple observation. First thing that came to mind for me, at least.

I couldn't believe that one in real time.

The officiating was bad. The officials were clearly instructed to "let them play" and not turn the Superbowl into a flag fest. The long touchdown to Higgins was an egregious, game changing bad call. The Rams never even should have been trailing. There was one bad call on the last drive which was the holding on Kupp. That was an obvious makeup call for the play before where Henderson was held badly.

All in all, poor, inconsistent officiating, did not favor either side

Maybe just fantastic observational skills!?

If ppl want to argue until they’re blue in the face about bad/missed calls they can because every team deals with it but I have to cut myself off at some point.

Bengals coach played last 80 seconds like KK.

He was underwhelming on a lot of the play-calling, IMHO. Went for it on 4th and 1 early and didn't get it. Was picking decent plays that left them at 3rd and short but then did stupid run plays that got stuffed on 3rd down causing them to have to go for it on 4th. Like the last couple plays of the game.

The Heisman "curse" lives on.

Only two QB's won the Heisman in college and then won a Super Bowl.

Plunkett and Staubach. Each won the Heisman and 2 Super Bowls.

Give Credit to Bengals. They showed up and played a great game. Disappointed they couldn’t move into FG range to tie it.

The third and fourth down calls look so familiar, KK-esque anybody? The last sack shows when you have an oline man 1-on-1 blocking Donald, that is what is going to happen. Hello KK and Harlow.

 

[reebokalone2001]

Rams are in cap hell and tons of contracts are uo

So are the Cardinals, and Rams at least just won the Lombardi Trophy.

They lost by three points and led a good part of the game in the Super Bowl. The Cardinals playoff game was over shortly after it started.

Sad, but true.

Hmmm. When a team loses a great WR and they fall
Apart.

This aged HORRIFICALLY.

What you actually saw was a QB deal with adversity of losing one of his best weapons and STILL lead a game winning drive.

Instead of quitting on his team, refusing to finish the game with his teammates, then acting like a douche online after.

One no call resulted in TD and one no call prevented a TD. Both involved Ramsey vs. Higgins… It evened out at that point.

The refs stunk. They inserted themselves after being hands off all game long. It was BS.

Uh he still had the best WR still on the field my guy. He lost his second best WR and then was awful all of sudden. The guy apparently no one wanted because he was a cancer. Now that aged poorly and unfortunately ironic with our dysfunction. And then Kupp bailed him out time and time again just for one drive. That terrible call from the refs is why it "aged" horrible. Stafford wasnt getting in the endzone on 4th down. Then again I guess Kupp gets star treatment so good for him.

Kyler being a ***** doesnt negate what the guy was saying.

He lost A weapon but still had THE BEST WR in football that won the game for them almost entirely by himself on the last drive! Be honest even if it’s just to bash our QB geesh. The only reason OBJ was having a good game is they were doubling and tripling Kupp. It would be like us losing Green but then Dhop went crazy it’s not the far fetched. And the point was it whacked their O and McVay almost wasn’t able to recover from it till they started just force feeding Kupp when they had NO OTHER choice. People making to big a deal about KM not wanting to finish the last minute of a playoff atrocity, gee I don’t know maybe after getting abused by Donald and that D all night it was pointless to go in for the last whimper of a blowout and risk injury? He is our QB and not going anywhere but feel free to keep bashing of it makes you feel better…

Calling the run play when it was 3rd down at the end of the game was a head scratcher
