Game Thread: Super Bowl LVI: Cincinnati Bengals vs LA Rams (630 EST Kickoff)

The disrespect for Kupp is real. No matter how many times he makes people look foolish defenses refuse to treat him like a real threat.

 

[AlexanderFan]

You can chalk that score up to Bungle’s analytics. Going for it at midfield was absolutely moronic. What do you expect from an offensive coach though?

Big time throw from Stafford to OBJ.

7-0 Rams

 

[Bazza]

Right on the money!

Rams lead 7-0!

Why do you say that. The bengals were in zone. There is no zone for behind the line of scrimmage and the guy missed a tackle.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

The commercials so far have been pretty meh.

That one TD might be enough.

 

[bamaga]

If the Rams win, will the Bulldogs count that as a national championship? the way they are talking it’s trending that direction.

Because you do not zone on third and short with a guy who has had a ton of catches and a ton of yards. You double him with your second best corner and make someone else beat you on third down.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Adam Project and Enola Holmes 2 looked good.

Who cares… it’s like Michigan fans claiming 7 Super Bowls for a guy that they tried to run off when he was in Ann Arbor.

If you live in georgia, you know the answer to that.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Getting cute with the offensive shifting cost the Rams most of that yardage they got on first down.

Lloyd Carr won 7 Super Bowls?????????

Of course they will.

And follow that with the inevitable, "It's been 45 years since a Bama QB won the Super Bowl....."

Well that isn’t disrespect to Kupp. And I disagree, they played the same scheme against Mahomes and Hill and it worked well. If the DB makes the tackle, the Rams were punting.

They played the same defense on that third down . Rush 3 , drop 8 and it worked. That’s the defensive answer to these pass happy offenses. Keep everything in front of you and tackle in space.

This is it - you can't make dumb mistakes and let the Bengals hang around.
And the Rams did that in the playoffs.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Circus catch by Chase

 

[81usaf92]

Of course they will.

Yeah and it’s a stupid way to look at things. I mean Michigan and Notre Dame have the most Super Bowls because of 2 players, and LA Tech is in 3rd with Bama and Purdue. But no one wants to say that those numbers are inflated by 1 guy on a dynasty.

 

[bamaga]

JAMarr chase is ridiculous

Yeah McVay is playing conservative for no reason. The Bengals are a team that is lucky to be here but in typical Rams fashion they won’t eat a sacrificial lamb.
