The REAL Jimmy G showed up after having a fantastic game.

[shel311]

Kupp, my goodness.

[Cnasty]

Aaaaaand there’s Jimmy.

Welp

Oh man.

Bookmark that huge INT drop. Unreal

Completely changed the momentum of the game.

Rams started going straight downhill after this play.

[Cnasty]

Rams -3.5 for the opening line.

Give me the cats.

My wife and friends will kill me, but I don't see it happening. So many things went right for the Bengals this season. Week after week the "optimal" outcomes occurring. But they needed the 49ers to win tonight to have a shot. The Rams are going to slaughter them. I don't see any other outcome.

Kupp MVP

The Bengals and 9ers seemed like 2 teams destined to keep their momentum and getting bounces going their way right into the Super Bowl.

I’ve always liked Stafford but any team going against a team lead by him has a chance.

The Rams Dline though has to be licking their chops seeing the Bengals in front of them.

I mean, they just beat the Chiefs.

Only 2 QBs have ever won a national title and a Super Bowl as a starter:

Joe Namath
Joe Montana

I mean, they just beat the Chiefs.

I could go on and on about their entire fortunate off-season moves and regular season breaks, but I'll just start with the post-season...
Drawing the Raiders, which is laughable that they even made the playoffs, was an easy match with their bottom 10 pass defense and bottom half pass rush.
Next they pulled the Titans, who were roughly a top 10 defense, which held them to 19 points, and only lost because Tannehill played like garbage. They hit Burrow more than 10x.
They dodged the Bills, who ever Bengals fan at my house tonight didn't want anything to do with. Instead, they get another average pass defense and bottom 5 pass rush in the Chiefs.

Now they face the Rams who have a top 5 pass defense, 3rd best pass rush, and they don't have CJ Uzomah, who has emerged as an important part of the offense, especially with his quality blocking/chipping.

So maybe the 1 small way I see the Bengals having any shot, is if Stafford throws 3 or more INTs. He did that once this season... against the Vikes... and the Rams still won.

News today: Uzomah's MRI came back clean, and he could be back for the Super Bowl.

Kupp is +600 to win SB MVP.

Kupp is +600 to win SB MVP.

Feels like easy money, but then I'd have to know what Stafford is in comparison. I think 4 TDs is just as probable for Stafford as 2 is for Kupp and I'd think Stafford would get it over him at that point.

Really thought Brady would have waited till after Friday to announce his retirement. This may have cost him $15M, not that he needs it

Only way Kupp wins SB MVP is he has over 200 yards receiving with over 100 YAC, or has a ST touchdown that changes the game. Stafford wins MVP if the Rams wins, I'd bet big money on that
