I could bump the threads I started about Chase for OROTY, Burrow for CPOTY, Bengals to win AFC, etc. but I will stick to this...
Needed to bring this thread back. You and I had major reasons for being optimistic as we see. I didn't know we would go
THIS far but hey, this team can stay with anybody and come back and win it with the mad heart they play with.

And I said a number of times in other posts: "Look what Burrow did in year 2". Wow. To do what he has done at the NFL level coming off that injury. It almost doesn't seem real, but he believes it and the team follows him.
That is wild how Joe said the same phrase lol

I knew we were beating Oakland and Tennessee... Once that'd happened, the Super Bowl was a reality. Don't get me wrong; I thought we blew it when Apple dropped a sure pick 6 in OT... I was also nervous as hell for McPherson's last kick... But that was for all the marbles. Til his next big kick anyway.
Just seems like destiny with the way this team plays. It is never over. Watch the Rams game similar. They will get up big on
us and we will slowly grind back into the game with solid Defense and good enough Offense to score the points needed.
Predicting a Shooter Kick to win the Superbowl in OT.

I do think they can beat the Rams.
With that said, XSF and Waynes have not been good this year or last (XSF only obv).
Reader, Hendrickson, Awuzie, Hilton, and Hill have been great contributors though.
I firmly believe that the game is going to ride or die on the OL performance.
Donald, Floyd, and Miller are no joke.
Gonna need Hopkins' help to double Donald. He'll demolish Adeniji 1-on-1.
It will ride on both Lines and Turnovers. Our OL will have trouble with AD, Vonn and Floyd, we just have to keep it to a minimum
somewhat and have some semblance of a running game and give Burrow some chances to make some plays and get the ball to
our Receivers. Our DL, specifically our interior with BJ Hill and DJ Reader could have a big day just the same as the Rams DL.
Need to start Carman, better at picking up stunts and can make a great block here and there unlike Adeniji.
Plus Carman is a much better run blocker and that is how you beat AD. You run it at him and tire him out.
