In hindsight - even Hightower’s tackle of Lynch on the play before that.Ahhh, how quickly Malcolm Butler is forgotten. Did CC type this?
So I’m not allowed to comment on people over reacting to a stupid announcer making a stupid comment? Who actually takes Collinsworth seriously at this point?You realize you are doing the exact same thing here that we were doing? Mentioning it.
This is an insult to nails.I had to mute Goodell. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
He was double teamed pretty much the entire first half, then the defense adjusted and forced the Bengals to block him one-on-one, so he started making plays at that point.Donald was mostly invisible until the final drive. At least Kupp had that 1st half TD.
I watched the same game as youPeople here thought this game was boring?
I must have watched a different game.
He had a big sack when it was 17-13 to keep it a one score game.Donald was mostly invisible until the final drive. At least Kupp had that 1st half TD.
Yup. That was also more important than donalds tackle on 3rd down around midfield. I get annoucers wanting to hype stuffIn hindsight - even Hightower’s tackle of Lynch on the play before that.
(yes - I’m a total homer).
I’m guessing Higgins and kupp were heavily involvedAlso. Apparently my buddy wagered 1100 on some prop bets and won 47k. Wtf
Ian Anderson or a typo?Kupp getting the MVP is like the Grammy voters giving Tull the best heavy metal album
Yeah. They're just Super Bowl Champion idiots. Can't get out of their own way.You need a FG with a kid who is nails. Dumb. Dumb dumb. And when McVay finally decided to go to maybe the best receiver in football they click.
McVay is overrated. Taylor or his offensive coordinator screwed up that last drive.
Look at the receiver at the top of the screen on that play. Defender was 7 yards off. You gotta see that. It’s an easy 1st downIt's a good question.
That’s not what I’m saying. But ok.Yeah. They're just Super Bowl Champion idiots. Can't get out of their own way.
Some stafford and some by quarter lines. He is one of those guys where stuff always seems to work out for themI’m guessing Higgins and kupp were heavily involved
It was close. We were talking this week and I posed the question, “what has to happen for Aaron Donald to win MVP?” Our consensus was at least 3-4 sacks, a relatively low scoring game and that he would need to be directly responsible for points. We also added the caveats that Stafford would need to have a bad game and that no other offensive player went off.I think Donald deserved the MVP, but I'm happy for Kupp. I enjoyed watching him play for Eastern, and I know there a lot of excited people in this little town right now.
I would say the main issue was the second down call. Call a safe 5-7 TD play, move the sticks.Look at the receiver at the top of the screen on that play. Defender was 7 yards off. You gotta see that. It’s an easy 1st down
Sorry, they're not idiots. They're dumb, dumb, dumb and overrated.That’s not what I’m saying. But ok.
Yep. Also, running with Perine instead of Mixon in a must get situation is insane (I know he’s the 2 minute back but they had a clock stoppage and could have brought in Mixon).I would say the main issue was the second down call. Call a safe 5-7 TD play, move the sticks.
once it went third down I could tell they were in trouble
The last drive by Cinci was dumb. McVay is an overrated game manager. {He did improve from his last SB disaster}Sorry, they're not idiots. They're dumb, dumb, dumb and overrated.
It’ll never make sense to me choosing to keep your best players off the field in the name of a nebulous role like 3rd down RB. It’s the Super Bowl and Mixon was great! Unless the guy just absolutely can’t block, what are you doing?Yep. Also, running with Perine instead of Mixon in a must get situation is insane (I know he’s the 2 minute back but they had a clock stoppage and could have brought in Mixon).
When you have Mixon, Chase, Higgins, and Boyd at your disposal, you definitely want to let your season rest on the shoulders of your backup RB. Short yardage conversions is exactly what Boyd is best at doing. You either run Mixon there or do a quick hitter with one of the best slot guys in the league.McVay made some questionable decisions like all the first down runs with Akers, but Cinci running Samaje Perine on 3rd down was the worst play call of the game.
He also catches 30 balls / year so it’s not like he’s Blount or Michel out there.It’ll never make sense to me choosing to keep your best players off the field in the name of a nebulous role like 3rd down RB.

I think Vegas probably got hammered tonight - a ton of parlays involved stuff like Rams winning + Kupp and Beckham both scoring TDs, etc.Also. Apparently my buddy wagered 1100 on some prop bets and won 47k. Wtf
