    :eek::confused::eek::confused::eek::confused:

    Andy Reid had an Andy Reid moment.
    Mahommes tried to force passes, and held the ball way too long.
    The Chiefs offense froze in the second half.
    After the fiasco at the end of the first half I said blame this one on Reid if they lose by a FG.

    The Bengals very calmly took care of business,

    I'm torn.

    I empathize with long suffering Bengals fans. The Bengals Cinderella season has been amazing.

    I want Stafford to get a SB win. For several reasons, but mainly to give the Detroit Lions owner a big Fug You!.

    I'm going to root for the Stafford and the Rams.

    This was the year that the path to the Super Bowl opened wide in front of the Bills.
    I still can't talk about it or feel interest in the Super Bowl. Maybe by next week I'll be ready to enjoy the game.

    I wouldn't call having to get past the Chiefs a wide open path. And the Bills still would've had to win the AFCC game. The Bills lost an Either Team game; the Chiefs lost a We Got This game.

    If I were Andy Reid I'd be on a long vacation some place with a name no one can pronounce.

    I was hoping the Texans would hire Brian Flores; that's pretty much off the table. It'll be interesting to see how his law suit goes. Anybody who can afford a NFL franchise can afford several teams of arrorneys, and I'm pretty sure the NFL is part of the U.S. Mint system.

    I was really surprised to see Flores get canned. He had some significant accomplishments in Miami and the team looked like it was moving in a positive direction.
    I expected him to get snatched up quickly by a team in need.
    Now....I don't know how he ever gets another job in the league.

    I can see the Giants being the (guilty) scapegoat in the lawsuit. Since there seems to be proof the Giants organization is guilty, the NFL will hammer them to set an example. While deflecting blame for the racism rampant in the NFL.

    Most NFL owners are white, male, & older. Most of the executives in NFL teams are white males, as are most members of the NFL organization.

    I respect what Flores is doing, but the teams and the NFL are not going allow the proof he needs to be provided.

    The Bengals have had an unbelievable season.
    The Rams have done everything to get to the SB.


    I want the rams to win for several reasons...I have been a Stafford fan since his days with UGA. He has the talent, he has the ability. He finally is on a team that has some weapons , The Bengals will have more chances with Joey B.

    Go Rams



    side bar, why does Cincinnati not have an indoor practice facility? Why do they have to go to the university of Cincinnati for practice for the SB?

    Realistically.......I get it but my question is this.... Who gives a fuck what color the coach is. Why wouldnt you pick the coach that gives you the best chance to be a winner? who cares what color or gender the coach is as long as they can win....

    The Bengals owner is cheap, and has an established history of avoiding change. He defended Marv Lewis' mediocrity for years.

    Very successful and extremely wealthy white men are used to getting what they want, and they live in a mostly white world. Choosing a proven coach who should win is relatively easy (and most of them are white); choosing a lower level coach for his first HC position is much more difficult. Racism can be subconscious.

    Lovie Smith. Didn't the Texans fire their last babysitter? What has Smith done over say the last 10 years to deserve another HC shot? He plateaued with the Bears, sucked with the Bucs, & failed in college.

    I'm not even going to cautiously optimistic: The Texans will suck for at least one more season.

    Harbaugh? Bieniemy? Others?

    I enjoyed the game. Close, hard fought, and the losing team could've tied the game with just a FG. The Rams D stepped up big in the second half.

    Bengals' fans will whine that the officials gave the Rams the winning TD.

    Rams fans will point to the face mask offensive pass interference non-call Bengals TD.

    What if OBJ had played the entire game?

    I fell asleep early in the 4th quarter.
    Honestly til that point I thought it was a snoozer of a game.
    My wife said it got good in the 4th.

    I can see where the lack of offense was a snoozer. If I recall the stats correctly each team punted six times.

    Im happy for the Rams, Im really happy for Stafford.


    Aaron Donald said that if the rams sign Vonn Miller and OBJ then he will come back....we will see

    I hate that the repopter fell and fucked up her back, Im glad to see that the rams organization and Stafford are going to pay for her medical bills
