And looks good in shades.

Yeah it would be some story, and really like the guy. I'd literally root like crazy for them if it was against any other NFC team bar the Saints.

But the Rams.. I feel like, even though they're not exactly old yet, this is the moment it all comes together for the likes of Miller, Donald, OBJ, Stafford, Kupp, ... This might be their last chance (or one of them) while Burrow should be in with a shout for the next decade, but you never know, he might never get there again.

Ugh I'm torn. At least with Brady involved you could easily pick your favoured SB winner.

As much as I'd like to see the Bengals win it, I struggle to see how their relatively underperforming O-Line will fare against Donald and Miller coming at Burrow. The one weak area of Burrow's game is pocket presence and evading pass rushers; something the likes of Rodgers, Mahomes, and several others are pretty good at.

You think? I think he’s played exceptionally well despite constantly getting sacked and being under pressure all year. For some players, like Lamar, I sometimes feel his inability to get it out and lack of pocket presence gets him sacked more than he should - of course offset some degree by his general scrambling ability. But what I mean is he doesn’t deftly work a pocket like, for example, Brady does despite clear immobility. With Burrow, I feel like he does navigate it quite well - and must have had to to do what he’s done with that o-line protecting him. He’s a lot to learn sure but that comes with experience.

I agree this Rams pass rush could cause significant problems. But that’s why the game plan will be so key. Having said that, just look at the Titans game. In some ways shows he can be a sitting duck, but also shows that despite it he might just have the X factor to overcome it.

:lol: on your last sentence.

I’m generally in a similar dilemma. Unless my heart suddenly gravitates to one team during interviews and all that stuff, I’m kinda just happy I can sit back, watch a game where both sides have a great story to root for, and admire the winner, being whoever manages to get it done on the day. Just want a great game.

You’re right though. It feels like this is that year for the Rams. But I’m not yet at the stage where that tips me over the top to root for them over the Bengals just yet!

I think this is going to be his toughest game yet. Donald is obsessed with getting a ring and Von Miller would like to go out with another, so they will definitely get to him and get to him fairly often. He did manage to escape the Tennessee game with a win, but it was largely down to a comedy of errors by the Titans through 3 picks by Tannehill and nothing spectacular and no TD passes from Burrow. The Rams are going to (imo) focus on pressuring him to death and putting Jalen Ramsey on Chase to mitigate his threat.

Going to be a tough game for sure. Guess I just think that he will still go out and hopefully execute. He didn’t get a TD in that Titans game but he completed at a fantastic rate and got his yards.
 
Both are the 4th seed right?
Yeah, Rams because they lost to the Niners in Week 18, not sure if the Bengals would've been #3 had they not rested their starters in Week 18 and won that game against the Browns.
 
Yeah we don't want to invite any lunatics in here whose interest in the NFL is limited to the Super Bowl.
 
Hang on - so it wasn’t you who changed it to show who was going to be in the super bowl?

The mystery goes on!

Yes, I changed it to the Super Bowl teams, but someone else (who shall not be named) came in after and changed it to something else.

I think jojojo did that after someone tagged her and asked to remove the spoiler from the title
 
Just checked on game tickets. Prices start at 7k in the nosebleeds to 60k for front row behind the team benches. Pure insanity.
 
“It’s a family affair….”



There's a lot of debate about who was responsible for LSU's magical season in 2019 - the players or Joe Brady. Given Burrow, Chase, J. Jefferson, & CEH's NFL success, I'd say Brady benefited from a perfect storm of generational talent that happened to peak at the same time. His passing game obviously helped make it happen as well.
