There's a difference between people using energy, and people building energy. I think the team is building energy and goes into the game fired up. Hopefully not to the point they're making mistakes, but most of them seem to be pretty business as usual in their approach to the game. Their desire to go out and prove something is exactly the energy that's gotten them this far, so going in completely quiet doesn't seem to be in their best interest this year.
Yes, I also disagree with the Rams secondary being great, they are mid tier. They get up big with their explosive Offense and
stop the run cause teams abandon it trying to get back in the game. Ramsey is a great Corner but Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Mixon,
Uzo when healthy are extremely formidable and we don't turn the ball over like the Rams have been doing on Offense.
We also have a great DL that can get pressure without blitzing which is how you fluster Stafford. Hilton has shut down Kupp
before when he was on the Steelers, so there is hope there even with my biggest concern. Our Safeties and LB's have been
playing great in these Playoffs.
This is why the Bengals win. We will be able to slow down the run and pressure Stafford causing turnovers.
Burrow will be pressured but he is great under pressure unlike Stafford.
