If he is simply under pressure he makes poor decisions and is a detriment to the team. Essentially the best way to get the team out of rhythm is to get home without extra rushers.
I just put the greater emphasis on our secondary slowing down Kupp and limiting Odell. Those are the two things that worry me the most about the game. If we double Cooper Kupp and are effective in doing so, can we also limit Odell 1-1?

Bengals D-line is not chopped liver and we did not sell our soul to get it like Rams did. Thinking they don't even have a 1st round draft picks until 2025.
Pretty wild that we have virtually the least amount of pressure on us going into this game that I have ever seen going into a SB.
The Chiefs HAD to beat us with the best roster they will have ever and couldn't get it done. The Rams HAVE to win or it is a failure
with all they gave up to win it now. No one is talking about our Defense, no one. The main reason we are here and no one is talking
about these guys on D. Funny as heck man.
Yes, our D-line will be the biggest reason we win this game and we will force the Rams to commit turnovers. This is what I see when
looking at both teams. Just need our DL to stay healthy in the game and we just need to execute and play disciplined like we have
done for most of the season.

So I guess we don't even need to watch the game.
Love this. They just never learn.

Which is what we try and do on Defense. We are one of the least blitzing teams in the NFL, we try and get pressure with our
front 4 and our front 3 like we did against Mahomes. This is a good Offense for our Defense to match up against and they have
problems pass protecting with their interior where we are strong with DJ and BJ.
Stafford isn't a runner either so we have less to worry about if he gets out of the pocket than say Mahomes.

They had just demolished the Buffalo Bills #1 defense in their win prior to facing the Bengals,to the tune of 42 points.
Yep. The Rams Offense doesn't scare me. Hilton has shut down Kupp before, our Secondary is better than the Buccaneers.
Our Linebackers are playing well and our front is playing great.

So true. If we can do even close to what we did against Mahomes in that 2nd half Stafford WILL struggle.

Awuzie on Beckham
Hilton + Bates on Kupp
Apple on Jefferson
Flowers on Higbee as appropriate
Looks manageable to me.

When a team gives up 9 sacks in a playoff game people are obviously going to talk about their o-line/pass blocking.
When a team has Aaron Donald, Von Miller, and Leonard Floyd people will talk about their d-line/pass rush
But there is more to the game than just that matchup.

The thing that really encourages me that the Bengals have a good chance of winning this game,is the fact that I’m very impressed with the way this defense is playing together as a unit since they’ve entered the postseason.
The Rams defense,on the other hand,are going to try to do to Joe Burrow,what the Buccaneers done to Patrick Mahomes and his banged up Offensive Line last year in the Super Bowl.And we all know how that turned out.

We will see how Burrow holds up. He has been great under pressure this season so there is definitely hope.
We need to have a great plan with our RB's and TE's chipping and not so many empty sets like Burrow loves in this game.
Our OL will need all the help they can get.

I know..I don't even know why we watched the playoffs since all those teams played so much more impressively than the Bengals/..

Here's one little stat I saw on some talking head youtube thing..I think it was CBS even..
Joe Burrow hasn't lost a single game all season when the Bengals are considered the underdog.. He's 6-0 in those games..
