    Rewind.

    This is a good sport to watch, even as a casual fan.

            there you go

            Up to the Bengals offence to find something. They need to find their superstar receiver now

                      Aaron fucking Donald is a beast

                      that tackle to stop the run a yard short, and then a sack to end the game

                        good tough defensive Superbowl. Defensive fronts for each team were fucking huge.

                        And then Kupp comes good when needed.

                        Great season Bengals, worst team in the league 2 years ago, and damn near won a SB.

                          That was entertaining. The only NFL game I've watched all year and a good tight contest down to the last minute. Time for Kupp to hint at contract renewal...

                            I'm really happy for Von Miller getting a 2nd ring, and playing his part today too

                              I thought that the Bengals were going to ride their good luck but the Rams marquee players came up big at the end.

                              I probably would have given the MVP award to Donald.

                                cracking game, really enjoyed that. Fitting that it was the Rams D and particularly Donald who came up trumps at the end.

                                Two absolutely key moments down teh stretch - Bengals 85 dropping the ball just short of a first down, and then the refs deciding to suddenly throw a flag on a fairly minor play for Kupp that kept the Rams drive alive.

                                All said and done though, good fun, stoked for Donald, Stafford, Miller and the Rams overall. Their owners are suck (fun fact: the Bengals owners are the family the Browns are named after), but that's pretty standard in the league.

                                Frankly, the NFL entertainment has been top notch this year. It's awesome fun, a proper apex sport. Ridiculous money -- helicopters following the team busses to the stadium.

                                Roll on 22/23. Field will be wide open again

                                  Good game, though a little bit below the standard of the playoffs so far. It's been an amazing playoff season to be fair.

                                  Bengals needed to let Burrow cook and did a pretty good job of it, but what were they thinking rushing Perine on 3rd down at the end? Made about a yard, burned a timeout and put them up against 4th down. Madness.

                                  It took the Rams about two hours to work out they couldn't run the ball, but once they did they got the job done. In a way it's the story of them all season, doing just enough to get the job done with the feeling they could play heaps better if it all clicked.

                                  Happy for Matt Stafford, happy for Aaron Donald, Kupp and Whitworth. A pretty deserving set of winners in the end.

                                    i just saw the end-on vision of the throw Stafford made to Kupp for the longest play of the game winning drive. It was pretty fucking sexy. Very small window and he hits him in-stride

                                          I'm only a part time watcher, but one of things that stood out today was the Rams not punting on a 4th down and keeping the drive alive that they eventually scored off. I get that field position is paramount, and you don't want to give the opposition a crack in good territory, but it feels like teams should back themselves a little more when they're 4th and fuck-all

                                          Shit take?
