The conspiracy theorist in me is having a difficult time with this. On one hand I wanted to believe the NFL hyping Joe Burrow and the litany of calls we had go our way during what many call an improbable Super Bowl run because this league has always been a superstar league right. I mean that’s what sells tickets and merch.
Trust me it was great to see things go our way throughout the playoffs and for the most part seeing our team in the limelight. I too went from it will never be us, to why not us, to it is us, and now back to it will never be us. I think in the playoffs we posed the least risk in the eyes of the NFL to beat the Rams with the least amount of outside interference from officiating. We were never going to win that game. Just was not going to happen. The only time it was ever really in doubt they stepped in and it was ugly. But, had Joe miraculously escaped Donald and threw a TD pass, you can bet your ass they would have called OPI on Chase or a offensive hold or both. That ref watching Chase on the sideline had his hand on his flag. He sure as **** didn’t have it there to benefit us otherwise he’d have thrown it.
