Why not like both? I'm in my 30's and I still love music from the 60's, 70's and 80's.

[Whatever]

Most of those songs are 20+ years old, lol.  I'm not a huge hip hop fan, but it's a million times better than the mumble rap that gets pumped out today.

Prince was great because he was a musician. Maybe some of these young rappers can take some clues from him. To be fair, the classic rock halftime shows have been relegated to the dustbin of history.

Agree with this. Burrow has done the necessary to get us here, but we're kidding ourselves if we were to say he's brought us here. Our defence has. Offensively we haven't been 'great' all playoffs. We've just been good enough, with some great plays.

I'm not a fan, but don't have any problem with it either.

Overall I'm not a rap fan, but I can appreciate it.

I like some Snoop stuff, some Dre stuff, some Shady stuff, some N.W.A., etc.; but liking the occasional track does not make one a fan in my book.

For example, I like about 10 Grateful Dead songs.  They made like 100+, so that low of a hit rate definitely says I don't like them.

Rap and Country are the same way, for me.  I like one of occasion, but the vast majority I do not.

I got slammed for saying this in the “championship play” thread.

Sometimes you just have to speak the truth and take the heat for it.

Do your THANG Bengals

[Housh]

Here’s to scoring TDs on our next 3 drives!

It's Like that all over I'm sure.  I'm just referencing the rappers because they're the half time show

[Whacked]

Me thinks …

If OBJ returns we are in trouble.

[GridironMonarch]

50 Cent looked more like 50 Tons.

[Billy_Bengal]

Any word on OBJ?

A lot of what he has done to be a part of why the team is here has been off the field. 

He is a leader of men. Burrow has the intangibles, the confidence and the personality that we have never had here.

Individual pass rush win rates at halftime: Aaron Donald 11% Von Miller 57% Leonard Floyd 38% Trey Hendrickson 7% Sam Hubbard 0% (ESPN / Next Gen Stats)

Interesting. Pass rush or lack of pass rush could very well decide the game.

Trey and Sam need to pick it up like the KC game.

I don't even think it's a bad thing. Anyone who thought Burrow would come out in the playoffs with his end of regular season games... all those 500 yards, 4 TD games... was clueless about playoff football. We need a bit more from him in this game though, Stafford is playing better than him.

[Housh]

Don’t really need many adjustments. Burrow can probably get away with being a bit more aggressive but him turning it over will probably lose this one
