***SUPER BOWL LVI GameDay Thread - Rams vs Bengals***

[Tony]

It's ok guys... I think Burrow was hurt unfortunately

[Webbtown]

The second half performance by the offensive line is beyond words. No choice but to spend money on at least two new starters.

[phil413]

Heartbreaking but back to building a team to get back here a year from now.

He hit from 63yds in warmups. With leg to spare i'm told. Really didn't like the run the 3rd down. But if you do that run on 2nd down.

Agreed. The O got shut down. Badly.

[grampahol]

Same lesson Rams and KC had to learn the hard way.. Pay your O-line and don't feck around with it.. They have the core players now go buy a freakin Oline!

[CardCounterChris]

Tough loss, we'll bounce back, this team is only going to get better. This one hurts, but I don't think this is our last Super Bowl by a long shot.

[casear2727]

Zach tightened horribly and I dont want to ever read how valuable Tyler Boyd is again. $9M a year and drops an 8 yard pass in the SB on 3rd down.

Worst holding call in history after not calling the whole game

In all honesty Higgins threw Ramsey down by his facemask. But I agree terrible call.

Hell of a season either way

[Whatever]

Having Apple on Kupp 1 v 1 is inexcusable


Who cares if you take a safety out of deep middle coverage. Stafford literally was going to Kupp and no one else. Lou lost the game on that call

Especially after Perrine got stuffed in a similar situation on the 1st drive of the game.

Shat their pants by losing by 3 to a team that mortaged their future to build a team for 1 run? Go join a Chiefs board or something

[TheCincinnatiKid]

Tbh, I'm gutted but sitting here feeling good about this team.

I feel like we blew it. But the team really turned a corner this year.

We just stalled on offence when it mattered. A single drive in the 2nd half would've won the game.

We should get better with time. There will be big games in the future where Burrow is a big factor. He wasn't today, but he'll come back.

Still a Who Dey from me. A morose one right now, but a proud one.

[TecmoBengals]

Ah, losing a Super Bowl stings. It's not fun when your team is on the losing end.

Fun season though, it was a good one to watch while also enjoying posting at The Bengals Board.

[NUGDUKWE]

You can't any closer. I put the blame on Taylor definitely didn't have the best play calling.

I think the Wilson call was crap, but that's how it goes. never let yourself get into a situation where the refs can change the game.

Off-Season, FIX the OL and we will be right back in there.

Burrow/Chase are young, we got a long ride coming with them

It’s a bad call when you consider the situation. We run it and it costs us a valuable timeout. Or we pass it and get a throw down the field or a quick throw for a 1st down.

Nah the difference was our trash coaches, bunch of braindead morons calling offensive plays and even though the defense played well all game whoever decided to keep Apple 1 on 1 with Kupp should be fired before we leave the stadium.

[swilson3828]

Lol and let's not forget the betting line for the game. Coincidence??

Exactly why we lost. We're not used to playing in an indoor stadium

[Bengalitis]

now the rams are vindicated for giving up all those 1st round picks.
