I remember when Whitworth signed with the Rams, people talked about how the Bengals had a brighter future than the Rams and here 2 years later he's headed to the SB.
It shows how quickly things can change in the NFL.
Well deserved Whitworth!

So happy for Whit, he had such heart and dedication here. He deserves it all...
Bengals bungling it up and not re-signing him is the best thing that ever happened to Whit.

Absolutely. While I wish guys win here, I really enjoyed seeing guys like Dillon go to the Patriots and win a SB too.

Great for him please send gifts to Referees might be one of the worst miss calls ever in division championships, OMG

Yeah that guy just put his head down and tackled the WR.
I do have to say, in real-time I didn't think it was that bad. Then they showed the replays and it was terrible.

Congrats to Whit on his newly-minted conference championship ring. Now, go get the real bling.

Whit got the last laugh, like so many other Bengals who have escaped. Hopefully those days are over, and Bengal players legacy's are made in postseasons here from here on out.

To hell with Whitworth and the rest of the Rams...

He's going, but only due to the worst officiating in the history of the NFL.

I've said it before so I'll say it again. Once any player moves on to another team I don't care about them. They ARE the competition and no longer our team members. They can fall off the edge of the planet for all I care. I'm somewhat happy for him as a person, but whether he wins a ring or not? I could care less.. Hell, anyone can go to a jeweler and have a ring made. Am I supposed to be proud of someone else's jewelry? Hint: I'm not.. I'm only happy for them if they win with the Bengals and not other teams.

Happy for Whit. But I sure will be glad when we can get started with our own team build.

I don't get the hate for Whit....he was a true professional and GREAT teammate here. Congrats to Whit, and our future HC.

I certainly don’t hate Whit, or even begrudge him for wanting out of here when we drafted the bust twins, but ex-Bengals succeeding elsewhere does very little for me.
Plus, LA was gifted that game. Officiating like that is just one of many reasons the NFL will never be my favorite sports league.

I don't get it either ? It's not like he was flying the bird when he left.

Most players, I don't care, but Whit is another animal, at least for me.
Yes, horrible no call, no question. I've pointed that out in several threads.
