McDermott needs to call McDermott style defenses when it matters. He is an aggressive defensive coach but when it's time to make a play he gets conservative.

All these super young guys who have made tons of $$ and want to retire early. I guess I can see why. Save the wear and tear on the body (or mind if you're a coach). the only guy who doesn't want to retire is going to be 45 when the next season starts, and seems to be determined to play until he suffers a horrific injury or just looks like the ghost of Big Ben this past season.

Rams are loaded with star players, but the Bengals are all brand new. Burrow has become more of a name in the past few weeks, but the game feels totally different if it were KC/Rams, with both teams loaded with star players and KC being in their 3rd straight SB.

I wouldn't mind trading for a superstar type RB either. We need SPEED and playmaking in that spot, as much as I do still like Singletary. Singletary paired with a speedster and we're set at RB.

I get that feeling, but I think it's just because the biggest names weren't in the game. Of course, the "big name" guys weren't always big name guys either. Back when Brady won his first SB he and the Patriots were like the Bengals. A team that "didn't seem to belong" so who knows

I wouldn't mind seeing it here and there. for example, if the Bills traded a 1st round pick for a DE who could actually make plays in big moments like a Von Miller that would be cool!

Even the end of the game felt half-speed and muted... Kroenke sounded like he was giving a eulogy at a funeral.

I usually roll my eyes a bit at "star power" but this game lacked it. The biggest star QBs in the league (Allen, Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, Jackson, Wilson) were watching and not one of them was in this game. Stafford is a nice story and I'm glad he won, and Burrow is a nice story but neither is really on the level of the guys mentioned above. That hurt the "feel" of the game to me. Even in a blowout, there's usually that one star QB to carry the show. Often 2. Think of the SB possibilities when the playoffs began: Allen V Brady Allen V Rodgers Mahomes v Rodgers Mahomes V Brady Even Allen or Mahomes V Stafford and the Rams would have been so much better. It seems like a rip in the fabric of the matrix happened and suddenly the Bengals were there. It was not supposed to happen. They don't even have a real practice facility! Part of me wondered if their owner was like "Crap! How much is this team going to cost me now?"

There's way too much text in some of these posts. Makes me think it's all the reasons why we don't get a mountain of a man at DT

Problems with his GM. Problems with team owner. Problems with multiple members of his hand picked coaching staff. Problems with his QB. Throwing his supposed buddy/mentor Belichick under the bus. Minimizing Lovie Smiths hiring by implying it wasn't deserved. Calling Elway an unprofessional drunk. Claiming the Giants are racist because he didn't get the job. ************************* To me, it seems like there is a pattern of behavior on Flores' part.

Man.. this whole game and even the trophy presentation is so muted feeling... Hey Stan you just won the freaking Super Bowl!

I'm as big an NFL fan as anyone and I couldn't tell you the last time I either saw or heard Mike Brown

Bengals gave them chances by panicking at the end and holding

Not really. They missed a pretty obvious facemask that directly resulted in a TD for the Bengals

Kupp caught one game winning TD and held onto the ball after taking a brutal helmet to helmet hit then caught another one

Weird Super Bowl overall... Felt subdued to me.

Good for Aaron Donald. Cupp should be MVP.

Plenty of time left... All you need for a FG is...

No biggie... They'll have the ball back in 3 plays

Rams Patriots 13-3 was similar. Almost the same game

I'm seeing a trend... Rams get to the super bowl and the game is nearly unwatchable and their offense can't do a thing

Rams offense can't do anything

How did the Bengals OL block this DL for half a game?

This is how Brady won 7 super bowl rings. Teams like these to play

Bengals have been straight up lucky but hey if you're in the game anything can happen
